Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

"People are sick of that and don't want race or sexuality to be thrown at them as a reason."

I never said she should be hired because she was a woman!?

I said being a woman was one of the reasons she didn't get the job. There's a difference..

Clearly people are still misogynistic, as your post demonstrates.

Exactly. Great final paragraph in this article about him:

One might chastise or sympathize with the anti-woke message that Rogan and his guests (e.g. Elon Musk) are frequently delivering on his various media platforms. But one would be hard pressed to listen to “The Joe Rogan Experience” or watch one of his stand-up routines and come away learning something significant about the United States or with a better understanding of American democracy. The Rogan experience is about normalizing thoughtlessness and creating a cult of followers that treasure stupidity as a form of entertainment.

I have a feeling that his podcast has the potential to negatively impact him. He's had the likes of Steve Bannon and Ben Shapiro on, he doesn't tend to make any effort to challenge them and ultimately just bring them to a new audience. I've heard pretty centrist commentators who were somewhat critical of this so it's not even a far left issue.

The best person for the job 😂 Can you say that about tRumps cabinet and wider administration? A laughable collection of alcoholics, animal abusers liars and idiots (Mostly Billionaires!!! and all Millionaires 🙄)

Discrimination against white men??? You sound like a Stephen Miller fan. If it wasn't for DEI, minorities just would not get hired at the rate that they should be (where all persons are equally qualified, ESPECIALLY in America.

I would love to see the day where companies have no DEI policy because everybody is seen as equal. That is not what this is, to claim otherwise is a lie.

Trumps "Religious Liberty" panel divided on Israel. Carrie Prejean turns out to be a critic. Says Catholics do not embrace Zionism.

This is the hypocrisy at the heart of American immigration. Many of Trump’s megadonors, eg Miriam Adelson, the Israeli American billionaire, are fine and dandy with employing thousands of undocumented workers in their hotels while he wins elections ranting about the same people. A similar problem exists in agriculture which is kept going by foreigners doing work few Americans would consider whose legality is largely ignored although Trump insists Canada must accept these illegally-produced items. If a few major employers of illegals saw significant prison time their numbers would plummet. That would be a far more effective way of tackling illegal immigration than killing American citizens in Minnesota.

I've spent over a decade working in Universities. I've had to do various mandatory DEI courses and discriminating against white men was never mentioned. Not once.

Modern conservatism seems to be nothing more than whipping oneself up into hissy fits based on imaginary and impossible scenarios.

Those are excellent reasons to avoid his crappy podcast.

I never said it wasn't his right. However you've claimed "overall Joe would reference credible science on a range of subjects. ". The reality is he's incredibly unscientific and espouses views that the scientific community have called out as bs. This includes misinformation around AIDS, vaccines and general medical treatment. That's not remotely matching with the description you gave of him and he's chosen to believe some of the most harmful of pseudoscientific views.

Re the Seamus Culleton case, some posters here are misunderstanding the situation that arises when a person who has overstayed their visa marries a U.S. citizen and applies for a green card based on that marriage. The first step is to file for "adjustment of status" via an I-485 (look it up if you're interested). If you have married a US citizen and you entered the US legally ORIGINALLY (even if you overstayed your visa), you are granted leave to remain in the US and work in the US legally pending your green card interview.

I know this because I went through this same process with my Irish husband who had overstayed his visa in NYC (I am American, also an Irish citizen now).

Just to be clear, I want to distance myself from what @RoyalCelt is saying here re. discrimination against white men. It is a misunderstanding of what I said. And I am not sick "of all this DEI crap".

What I was pointing out is that unfortunately the American voter seems more interested in who is a good candidate, not who will be the best president. So that means that the Democrats need to be clear about what they need to do to get their candidate elected - in essence pick a better candidate, not a better president. It would not be the best person for the job, but that's where they are.

Reality doesnt intrude on some poeples acrobatics to judge ICE as always right

Bondi is before Congress at present....

Rep. Lofgren: "The FBI continues to redact President Trump's name, even though he is mentioned thousands of times in these files."

Bondi: "I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump, the greatest president in American history."

Either she's a complete sycophant or a complete cultist.
