    Confusion reigns since you picked the wrong fallacy to start with

    I am surprised she even crossed her husband by this much given she probably has a watertight prenup

    There’s a reason why the left wants to eliminate exit exams and give bonus points to blacks on college applications. I wonder what it coukd be?

    He may be thin skinned but nearly as thin skinned as the morons calling this racist.

    As usual it is not racist.

    One can call a person dumb and it is not racist regardless of who one is calling dumb.

    Does not matter if the word racist is used or not

    The original behaviour, the one you have excused because the author is thin skinned is what should be condemned

    The condemnation is based on dishonesty and stupidity.

    The author accused someone of racism where none exists. IF he was angry about the president calling someone dumb he should have said so. He made an outright false accusation. It is as simple as that.

    Trump won't be brought down by Russian collusion, he won't be brought down by any economic policy or foreign policy failures, he won't even be brought down by the inevitable release of the Trump, Katherine Hepburn sex tape. Trump will end up collapsing his entire Presidency via one tweet that is so awful and so vilifying and completely indefensible that no one can defend it.

    Regarding this tweet however, calling someone dumb is not racist. He has called Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi and plenty of other white people idiots. Anyone claiming that Trump is being racist for calling a black guy dumb needs to answer for their obvious racism is that is how they feel about black people.

    While clearly Michael Jordan is superior to Lebron, outside of his cheating (which most professional athletes do) he has behaved himself and spent a lot of money on his community. He is a significant cut above many of the *******s that play in the league today.

    Because wrecking the American economy would hurt Australia

    Because destabilising the global political landscape would hurt Australia

    Because we live in one world and unfortunately a thin skinned school room bully with a IQ of a tomato has been put in charge of the bigest arsenal on that world

    Are you giving Trump a pass for his behaviour?

    Trophy wife? So you don’t respect her at all. I’ll say this, it’s refreshing to have a First Lady who isn’t telling us what to eat and doesn’t outweigh her husband.

    The american economy is doing quite well. As is our landscape. The australian political landscape needs some serious with their recent attacks on free speech specifically the visit by Lauren Southern and Stephen Molyneux.

    Those guys down under are becoming cowards and fascists.

    It was a good example of political humor, at a political rally.

    If Trump is a "bully" than the Fake News/Lying Left are ax murderers.

    It’s ok when you do it but wrong if Putin does. <Rule 4>

    BTW, it’s not our job to prop you up. We did that in WWII, now it’s time to fend for yoursekves and I’m sure all your Muslim imports will be glad to help.

    Can you tell me what she has done with her position that would challenge my perception of her as a trophy wife?

    Certainly old Donnie boy could not have thought much of her beyond trophy wife since he screwed around months into the marriage

    Does it count that she’s worth a lot more than you are? Maybe if you were educated and became successful then maybe a billionaire would be interested in you. How much are you worth, what’s your education level, and for shits and grins, how many languages do you speak? If none of the above apply to you then I’ll send you Weinstein’s number, he’s good at this stuff.

    I think you've got it if they call you racist and you say, "so what?" Well they don't have anything else to do that they can call you a Nazi or a fascist or some other meaningless drivel.

    Surely that doesn't have any power over a person.

    • Trolling (Rule 5)
    I'd say who cares that she's a trophy wife? It's her choice to be do you think women should not be able to make choices for themselves?

    I don't think he values his marriage the same way others do. I don't know what business it is of yours that's what I kept hearing about Bill Clinton when he cheated on his wife in office.

    They know it is. Most people no there is no racism or at least very little and it has very little power or influence over our day-to-day lives.

    It's a game they can't argue so they accuse you of being racist that's basically an ad hominem.

    It is an effort to get you to defend yourself or your party or your ethnic group or whatever so that you become defensive and abandon the argument.

    The point is LeBron James has every right in the world to say anything he wants the outside of inciting violence. And same with Donald Trump they can think about LeBron James however he likes.

    When the little noise makers start popping up in saying racist racist racist bigot homophobe racist bigot Nazi Nazi. Just point and laugh don't pay them any mind they aren't making an argument they're just trying to get you on the defensive

    see this is the sort of thing I'm talking about just comment is of no real value in anyway, it's bait to try and get you to defend against something you really have no need to defend against.
    It's such a meaningless throwaway statement I blame Twitter for this.
