But in any case, as a non PC Policeman, what do you think of the dialogue/ Anything racist there?
As a nitpick, not all are kids. But perhaps you didnt type that. Remeber, I donnt reed wehl.
Nice try on the somewhat false add-on to gain 'he is bad' points.
You are (as usual it seems lately) reaching REALLY hard here, Tanq.
A non-answer, good. Then *why* did you knee jerk include kids in that group 93? ***** and giggles? You either did that intentionally, or instinctively, care to answer which? Shouldnt be hard....
But let me also repeat the *real* question on the table that you avoided:
Care to explain why you added the comment about Trumps base lapping it up after your first sentence of 'Trump is flinging poo'?
Why did you 93? Not a rhetorical question here 93, a straight dead serious one. What do you feel that add-on brought forth? What did it add in your mind?
The post referenced Trump's recent tweets which I found objectionable. I guessed that many people would find them objectionable and I asked myself if there would be serious political blowback for Trump. I then surmised that his base would probably be OK with the tweets. To use your phrase, it seems that Trump's base is OK with him "flinging poo".

Some snippets:
'Yet Trump appears committed to a base strategy for his reelection, and his provocations are widely viewed as efforts to fire up conservatives.'
'Jonathan M. Metzl, a Vanderbilt University sociology professor who has researched how conservative voters support policies that harm their interests, said Trump’s critics routinely underestimate the potency of his message — even one that is outright racist — to his core supporters.
It plays into an ‘us versus them’ formulation in which people are out to ‘take what’s ours’ — that’s the message, really,” said Metzl, author of “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland.”
“When Trump frames it that way, it reaffirms that formulation: We’re under attack and I’m defending you,” Metzl said. He added: “I hate to use the word savvy, but that’s probably what it is. The more we talk about his outrageous behavior, the more it evacuates the middle ground” as Democrats move further left to counter Trump.
During Trump’s South Lawn appearance, a reporter asked if he was concerned that “many people saw your tweet as racist” and that white-nationalist groups were finding common cause with him.
“It doesn’t concern me,” Trump replied, “because many people agree with me.”'
I get it, because they are obviously "conservative voters [who] support policies that harm their interests", according to your source above (direct quote there sparkles).
Kind of sounds like your reasoning to include that is that you want to preen about how ignorant they are, doesnt it? And you are opining because they are so ignorant they wont care. Yes, we are certainly making some progress here.
And the other catch here is that "Trump’s critics routinely underestimate the potency of his message — even one that is outright racist — to his core supporters."
Okey dokey, now you are using as your backing that well, his core supporters are so ignorant that they either agree with racist comments, or they dont care.
Do you agree with those findings there 93? Is that why you are so antsy to make a comment about Trump's base (followers, bounce, supporters, bounce, voters)?
SO you realize that your reasoning of wanting to include Trump supporters in the flinging of poo comment is now evidenced by your specific reference to those same people being so fing stupid that they 'vote against their interests' and 'dont seem to be smart enough to realize that they are racists.'
That doesnt seem to a really good point in your favor about why you want to tie Trump (supporters, followers, base) to that sentence.
All your evidence you bring up simply states abuot what utter ignorant people they are. Funny that, isnt it.
I am sure you have an endless depth of respect for Trump (supporters, followers, base). It is just that you have a hard time expressing it, right?
Man that rain feels awesome on the side of my leg there, 93.
