Jon Stewart explains why what Trump said was bad.

Recommended Posts

Lemme guess before watching.....

 

They pull several different quick clips of Trump speaking (maybe even from different speeches), edit it all together in one montage, to where it sounds the worst possible way. Then Stewart makes a bunch of jokes about said montage whilst ignoring other clips and quotes that help clarify his stance and put in more proper context and totally ignores the actual issue of illegal immigration.

 

BRB to see how close I was........

Pretty Close. Played the same soundbite over and over, even in slow motion. Disregarded other quotes trying to clarify a bit and ignored the actual issue at hand.

 

Trump is a blowhard, this isn't news, he says stuff bluntly and could use more tact. However, embedded in there..... he has a point. If people could not be so easily offended maybe the point could be heard. But you are right, that's not reality. The masses would rather talk about Trump than the actual issue. Just like Stewart did for 9 minutes.

Guys, what Donald said was a broad sweeping accusation and was wrong. What Stewart said was lies. I watched 1 minute and already heard Stewart take Donald's asinine accusations and focus on the rapist part. Donald did not JUST say rapist came across our border, as one would assume just hearing Stewarts bit, but drugs and crime came over too. Why did Stewart just use the rapists accusation so many times?

Because being called a druggie or a thief isn't nearly as insulting as being called a rapist. That's what Stewart (and NBC, and Univision) are focusing on. The fact that he said "They're rapists"

How come he didn't spend a nine minute rant on Obamas book before he was elected about his ties with radical leftist and his radical leanings? Or why Obama was for partial birth abortion. Or why he was against ghey marriage? Or why he threw his white mother under the bus?

However, current measures and policies undertaken to control undocumented immigrants have been largely unsuccessful, and increased border enforcement has been insuffi-cient (Passel and Fix: 1994: 159). In addition, the adoption of these laws and policies may lead to an unintended consequence—that is, resources that may otherwise be used to fight crime effectively and efficiently are diverted to identify, prosecute, and deport undocumented immigrants, a group that does not disproportionately contribute to more crime in American society. Thus, it might be time to renew Passel and Fix’s (1994: 160) call that the immigration debate should turn on facts rather than on emotions.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/256081616_Undocumented_Immigrants_as_Perceived_Criminal_Threat_A_Test_of_the_Minority_Threat_Perspective

 

The original article I got the research link from:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/07/02/surprise-donald-trump-is-wrong-about-immigrants-and-crime/

 

 

So Trump talks to border patrol and cites a Fusion article....which he misinterprets. So he's got nothing other than preying on people's perceptions of immigrants.

 

And no, this doesn't mean immigration isn't a serious issue. It is.

 

But Trump went about this all wrong. It's ok to admit it.

It is ok to admit it. But we don't? Why? They are future democrat voters. If they were republican voters, the conversation would be reversed. Plotinus 101.

I sense a lot of anger here, Bunny.

 

Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side.

 

Lemme ask you this. Are you and your family better off than you were 8 years ago?

No hate at all. Just questions that don't ever seem to get answered. So I ask them.

 

Am I better off than eight years ago? No . Not even close. I was poised to sell my company and move on in my field. Katrina fawked that up. The state and Feds sealed that. When states bow down to the insurance companies and dictate how theyre run, you get state run insurance companies that run the show and push us little guys out. Independents got screwed here. Out of state companies decided it wasn't worth the risk, and they took their business elsewhere. Out of state. The main three insurance companies, or any others, do not write wind and hail policies anymore. Insurance premiums for homeowners and commercial property are insanely expensive.

 

I was one of the best insurance investigators and liability and accident scene adjusters. Katrina hit and I lost out a few years after. Have never recovered. Neither have any if my competitors in the state.

 

My wifey sells high end goods at a high retail store. She's making half of what she made before Obama. Her health insurance costs for our family have doubled in the past four years. Same policy. And double it. Her take home pay is significantly less than eight years ago. The new taxes area peach for both if us.

 

The only reason she still works for her company is our need for her insurance. We don't qualify for Obamacare. Why? We have enough money to spend on our daughters education in a private school. Which almost puts us in the poor house but putting her in the most fawked up public school system is not not an option and the government penalizes us for that. And Ipayfir for public school with my taxes and get penalized for doing so.

 

Am I angry? No. I'm aggravated. I work and my wife work our asses off and we seem to be stuck in crazy world. Make just enough to survive but not enough to get some help. Am Ibetter off than eight years ago? Not even close. And that's saying something.

That's a different subject. The media isn't after Trump because he wants tighter immigration laws. All 17 republican candidates want that. It's his ignorance and bigotry that's getting him in hot water.(but making him more popular with the right)

I don't think this has anything to do with the media's relationship with illegals.. the media adores a trainwreck. The same with that old senile NBA owner. This is no different.

 

hell, Trump is getting more coverage than the 14 dozen other Republican candidates combined.

I think he's hilarious.. If anything, I hope he makes it to the debate round. Imagine how much fun it would be to see these politicians have to respond to someone calling them a moron to their faces.

 

My dog is more electable than he is, but I would love to see the train wreck

Trump is a jackass and Stewart is simply not funny. I realize I'm in the minority on the latter, but comedy is subjective and I think Stewart sucks.
