He's the leader of the 'free' world, controls extinction level event weapons, and whose choices affect billions of people around the world.
And he gets a probationary period like he's a new cashier at Mcdonald's? Even forgetting the racist/pro-Russia agenda...any company who hires a CEO who has such an epic two months of fuckups guaranteed the board is just weighing how quickly they can rid of him without damaging the brand any further.
Nobody would give a babysitter for their kids a 'chance' who's been fucking up for months, this dude has literally the most important job on the planet and we gotta grade on a curve?

Nothing more annoying than folks that are getting their first taste of "consciousness" and want to lash out at everyone that they think they are more "down" than.
Not saying this is you, but rather I see this all over the Internet (especially now with Trump).
Also, what does *not* giving him a chance entail? Turning one's back on the TV when he's on? Not reading his twitter? Calling him 45*? Protesting? Other than impeachment, assassination or premature death then we're kinda stuck with dude.
Not saying that uncle tom black folks aren't wack, but why waste energy on them and their opinions instead of focusing on actual solutions?

it's moreso a "oh really?" cause those folks didn't give Obama a chance and are still blaming him for shit.
my actual response tho is "do we have a choice?"

...mentality that is all over the Internet. So what we supposed to do, just sit around being mad? Can't ask questions and try to figure shit out because that makes people mad? It's like folks think "being angry" is somehow going to change shit. Action changes shit. Anger might be the motivation, but without action it's meaningless.
And these angry folks are generally short on actionable solutions.

You have a whole lot of folks that want to trample other folks just for meeting with him or saying one good thing about dude regardless of what their track record is.
Same folks wanna just say fuck Trump, and hold their breath in the corner til they turn blue like a little kid.
You can't have tantrums indefinitely. You have to work with the other side in some sort of way. Especially in politics where NO ONE is clean or 100% consistent.
Niggas need to learn how to finagle around this dude and his cronies, and get what they can until they can actually force the issue in 2018 if they can win enough seats.
Until then you're just banging your head against the wall.

...if they can bring back money for their schools, then they should do their job and brown nose. *someone* has to do it.
The photo ops are what need to stop tho. They should have (and going forward) adamantly refuse to be in *any* photos or videos, and he meetings should be closed to the press.

No photo bullshit, either this is a serious meeting, or it isn't. Here's a list of what we're asking for. Look at it, and we'll rap. If not, FOH.

that's basically how it goes.
there are no secret meetings with Black folk. That isn't how it works.

This would be a hilarious scene. The vice prez is trying to get a photo op with an unwilling person. And they keep trying to get one in on the sly lol. The non cooperative person just stays doing all kinds of inappropriate poses and gestures.
Always gotta be "better" than their opponents and get shit on TWICE as much in the process.

to mingle with Trump supporters at work and at social gathering places. Where I live and work....trump supporters hide for the most part. I suppose that they let off steam on the internet....but I just don't interact with any real people who support/defend Trump. Our kids schools, our playgounds, the cafeteria at my work, the bus/subway....if anything, Trump supporters are ostracized here.

(which kind of inspired my comment, but he's not the first)and this old 60ish white new yorker guy who wouldn't stop talking, first was rambling about regular shit... then went into the "our country" and I'm thinking heeere we go. "We have to give Trump a a chance, we have to. He wasn't my first choice/he wants what's good for our country/he's not a politician and that's what we need/refugees are pouring into (some euro country. i can't remember)and i don't want that here/our children/there's a saying that walls make great neighbors/he's already doing great things/i gave obama a chance and he let me down. No one can tell me one good thing Obama did. not one." He fits this all in about 2 minutes.
I'm on 4 hours of sleep a night right now. I'm dealing with family illnesses and long ass work days. i don't have the energy for this shit, and what's the point of getting into a political argument with some diphsit at Walgreens. So all i could muster up was a "jesus fucking christ"...half sigh, laughing, headshake facepalm thing... he just said, "i'm sorry, brother, i know you don't agree. it's just my opinion..." I just said it's all good, we disagree. just leave it at that... and he went back to talking about nothing for the next 10 minutes until our shit was ready.
36. "That's all a racist wants from you." In response to Reply # 33
They just like to rattle the cage and see how the apes react. Any rise they get out of you will do. You could start in with him and shut his entire argument down. He doesn't care about your facts, and they will never change his mind, because his goal is the subjugation and mistreatment of non-white people forever. Not meaning to preach... just typing this for all non-white people, because we really gotta get off that thinking we're somehow fighting back by arguing with racists. As the target of white supremacy, your intelligence means absolutely zero to a white supremacist unless you're using them to enhance the practice of white supremacy.
38. "he wasn't doing it for affect or to get a reaction" In response to Reply # 36 Sat Mar-04-17 02:55 PM by Mynoriti
he was a dumb guy who liked to talk. i know because he talked about all kinds of nothing, non-stop for a half hour. and he believes he and trump are right. was he racist? I'm sure he was. he's a broken down white guy with a bunch of problems that want's america to be "great" again, but his rant wasn't that calculated.
but you are correct that engaging would have been a waste of time.

Don't believe that.
If you think they're not amongst you, you're wrong. 60 million of them are around. I live and work in a major metropolis, but there are still card carrying trump supporters all over the place. They're not all hillbillies. Some are educated people with professional jobs. Don't fool yourself.
>>Some are educated people >with professional jobs. Don't fool yourself. >
the real dangerous ones IMO are the self-professed "reasonable" republicans who are still to this day defending what he is doing with pirouettes that would make Tara Lipinski red with envy
