The Official Trump 2024 Candidacy Thread (Part 1)

@Roxiebelle

Yeah, pretty much like you do.

But I dont. I seek out opposing viewpoints. I find it interesting to read the same story but from different sources. Breitbart is a site I visit regularly as is CNN, BBC, Newsbusters, Politico, Daily Caller etc. Yes I am a news junkie.

Of course we all have our biases, which are shaped by our environment and experiences but why would anyone want to live in a bubble is beyond me.

Given the public statements that Ye has been making about Jewish people… maybe it isn’t the wisest thing for a Presidential candidate to give him the time of day.

I looked up “antisemitic statement by Kanye West + list”. What I saw was a rather insipid set of oblique references to Jews that if said about any other group of people, wouldn’t register as particularly offensive. Racist tones need to be eisegeted into the quotes by woke activist groups and commentators to trigger their emotionally unstable woke base into outraged mode.

What is something particularly aggregious thatKanye/Ye said that you find beyond the pale?

When Ye said he was putting Jews on DEFCON 3 what do you suppose he meant?

I don’t know. What does he day he meant? Or are you going to Adam Schiff paraphrase for him?

More so… what did the people who were paying him millions of dollars think of it?

They kind of knew what he meant.

Seems like the majority of people knew what he meant.

A lot of people were perhaps told what to believe he meant. What does he say he meant? What was the exact quote about DEFCON 3 in context?

Nike is now “a lot of people”?

For the life of me I don’t understand why people have to excuse bad behavior.

Ye a few weeks ago destroyed his wealth by repeatedly making anti semitic remarks and then shows up to Mar a Lago with a frothing anti semite Holocaust denier… but maybe he is just misunderstood.

Or a severely troubled soul trying to make sense of the world and thinking his evolving thoughts out loud.?

I cannot understand this need to excuse bad behavior either. Its almost as if some think that if an individual is aligned with them politically then they cannot criticize them.

Or maybe they just agree with them hence the need to defend.

Lets get real saying we are going defcon 3 on someone is not something you say as a compliment.

“A lot of people” is a more realistic downsizing of your “the majority of people”. You think Nike is “the majority of people”?

I know a few troubled souls.

None of them became anti semitic as a result.

Also… as a Presidential candidate… it would seem wise to not associate oneself with someone who is publicly anti Semitic.

It’s just common sense.

Going DEFCON 3 sounds like a metaphor. You don’t really believe Ye could actually go DEFCON 3 on the Jews. And I will need the quote in context to have a reasoned logical discussion on this source of your moral outrage.

Candace Owens was really trying to excuse that comment as “Defcon 3 is a defensive position”

The very vocal woke minority don’t have a clue what common sense is.

[W_and_C]

Trump seriously screwed the pooch on this one. Like I said in another thread, I don’t think he himself is an Anti-Semite or a Neo-Nazi.

But he’s guilty of absolutely terrible judgement - namely of granting an audience to everyone and anyone who’ll kiss his ass.

Come on dude why all these mental gymnastics to try and defend a statement that was in no way meant to be nice or complimentary to jews.

Go into a bar and tell someone you are going to go defcon 3 on them. I guarantee they are not going to ask you to provide more context to your statement or say thank you for being so nice.

I would. I am. What is the context? What would you mean if you said to me in a bar, “I’m going to go DEFCON3 on you”?

What is going defcon 3 on someone? That doesn’t even make sense. Do you even know what defcon 3 means? Hint it is not an action against an individual. You are correct they are not gonna ask for more context they are gonna ask what is going defcon 3 on someone.
