One thing that I hope people took away from the 2016 elections is that party leadership and campaign leadership are not always aligned. Donald Trump is obviously the largest example of this by far, but it applies to the Johnson campaign as well. Donald Trump doesn't give one iota of a fuck what Ronna Romney McDaniel has to say, but Johnson wasn't exactly working closely with Nick Sarwark either. By and large I think the Johnson campaign did a poor job of representing the party's platform, and he isn't someone who comes to mind when I think of marketing and messaging skills, Sarwark, Cara Schultz and Jess Mears are.

You're actually right, I'm not sure if ever actually referred to it as a "muslim ban", those words. However, he did promise in his campaign trail to introduce "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on".

The media also, of course, attempt to tie events like the shooter's rampage to a ill-defined concept of right-wing "radicalization", trying to seriously compare PewDiePie to shit like the Islamic State.
Not only is it obvious attempted guilt-by-association, but these people are manufacturing a correlation where there is none, and of course sticking a supposed causation to that correlation as well, in complete defiance of the principle that correlation does not imply causation.
In other words, a triple-layered fallacy.

I'm going to call it now. There will be nothing in the Mueller report, but there will be info about Trump's Moscow hotel. The Moscow hotel will be the next "We got Orange Man Now!" fulcrum, even though there is nothing there. he hotel deal will be the next year long talking point after the report is released.

I’m just looking forward to the left calling Muller a traitor when the report shows nothing.

As these people move more and more to cut off anyone not as extreme as them you’re going to see them get even more radical and unhinged from reality. At this point the best I can hope for is that we don’t hear about a massive wave of suicides if Trump wins in 2020.

I want them to kill themselves. They're authoritarian cunts with no standards or principles.

Sometimes it really does seem like that’s what it’s going to take for them to stop demanding that the country descend into civil unrest isn’t it?

They're driving a wedge in society. Half just want to be left alone, the other half want to shove their shitty politics on the rest, and the politicians are a part of the problem. Either they kill themselves or they attack the wrong people.

Hmm, interesting. The closest I could find was this: "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on." He apparently said this in 2015 after the san bernadino shooting.
Which is close, but yeah, I can't find evidence he actually called the action a "muslim ban". Still, a "shutdown of muslims entering" is really another way of saying "muslim ban".
However, thanks for challenging that assumption, it's so easy to let something that you heard somewhere be taken as fact, and it's important to double check this stuff occasionally.

I don't think it can be understated how much the GOP was boosted when Trump said"fuck that" to endorsing religion. He rightfully saw the conventional wisdom of the "Put on a good Christian face and talk about addressing our moral rot" tick box on the Republican pander-sheet as nonsense that was costing ten times the votes per every one it got.
The most he'd do was pick a religious Veep and let HIM perform for the old crusty religious righties, but he himself basically said "you religion is your business, there's more immediate stuff to worry about", something a lot of right-leaning moderates have wanted to hear for decades.
The degree to which the win could be contributed to the Republicans dropping the moralizing cannot be dismissed. The party that says "You, personally, Mister and Misses average American, need to shape up and start living right" tends to LOSE all other things being equal.
And look who comes across as the "no fun" party now, the left. The party of original race sin, of being born a racist unless you submit to the woke paradigm, of believing that chastising you for being white who should be fired from your job for oppressing the POCs by being white and employed is not only fine, but somehow different than calling you a filthy heathen who should have your devil music and violent vidya taken away.....

I don’t know who mentioned it in the thread about Obama’s comments about rap music but besides Trump winning in 2020, Obama being ousted as a legitimate rapist will trigger the left hard.
I mean, could you imagine the outcry if that happens?

Around Christmas time last years my GF's liberal brother and his wife gave us little pins with a picture of Muller on them and said "He's a real American hero, gonna take down the Trump admin." I didn't have the heart to tell them their fucking retards for living in a delusion that Muller is some knight in CNN stamped armor thats going to change America for the better.

How big were the pins? That's a long message to put on something that small, like textbook "the left can't meme" territory.

Trump announced he's going through with signing the Executive Order to cut the funding of colleges that don't guarantee free speech

“FREE SPEECH WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU CALL THE MEDIA LIARS JUST BECAUSE THEY GET CAUGHT LYING?”
Maybe try lying less fags.
