There's plenty of coverage of Trump on major networks that has nothing to do with his racist remarks and actions. And reporting on things that the President says is exactly the opposite of limiting him. If anything they're giving him a bigger platform by spreading his words. Limiting him would be refusing to report his words or people suing him over his language. That's not happening.
There are lots of ways to limit someone. You can call everything he says 'racist' in an attempt to shut him up. Here's an example in the news today: The president took funds from disaster relief to make more comfortable living spaces on the border, as a solution to what the Left has denounced a inhumane (even though Obama instituted it, and implemented it). Some weaker people would throw up their hands because 'damned if you do, damned if you don't. What the MSM is finding out is that Trump doesn't care what they say about him, because he knows what his heart is, and where it is.
An important thing to remember about the First Amendment: you have the right to say what you want. However, that right doesn't mean that people have to like what you say. If you say something that makes people angry, that's on you. If they're angry enough that they stop buying your products or actively express their dislike, that's also on you - they're exercising their own right to free speech.
I'm sure he doesn't care if they like what he says. But they don't give him the choice of being heard much. And when he denounces racism and the KKK, they just say "OK, but he doesn't mean it." As if they know his heart.
I'm still not seeing how a comment from Biden is a response to a comment from Trump if you're not trying to use it to excuse Trump's comment.
From here, I'll let you figure it out. I wasn't trying to excuse Trump.
Prejudiced based on race, right? Because that's literally the dictionary definition of racism. If it makes you feel better to call it prejudice instead, that's your prerogative, but calling a turd "pudding" doesn't make it taste any better.
Prejudice is different from racism, though racism is an extreme form of prejudice. We all have prejudice. I like Asian women better than Caucasian women. That's a prejudice. I generally don't like tattoo'd people. That's a prejudice. If I was in a position to hire, and chose an Asian woman just because she's Asian, that's racism.
Racism is the attribution of some characteristic to a person because of their race. For example, we used to think, as a culture, that blacks were better athletes. That's a form of racism. Denying people the right to a job or a home because of their race is racism.
One of the examples long ago was about Trump's use of employees at his casino, they said that he moved black dealers from the high rollers area. The fact is, Trump didn't fire them from their job. And they may have been black, but there may have been a different reason for moving them.
One would think that if you were actually interested in a serious discussion, you would take some of that free time to read an article that explains the positions of the person you are discussing with rather than complaining about your lack of free time to do so...in your free time.
I think you're explaining your positions quite well. No need to read someone else's words. On the other hand, I have the right to do with my free time, such as it is, as I like.
You are free to suppose what you like, but suppositions are not proof.
You're right. Neither are your suppositions about Trump being a racist.
Perhaps. Or his grades were good. Or both. You're just spitballing at this point.
Oh, I understood that much. You're still insinuating that he bought his way in though - if not his family, where would the money have come from?
Saul Alinsky, maybe? The Democrat party? Rev. Wright? It could have come from a lot of places. And I'm not saying he bought his way in. But college admissions standards being what they are, who knows? Just as there was so much mystery about his birthplace and citizenship, there was a lot of hiding as to how he got where he got. Republicans are typically an open book about most of that stuff. Look what you knew about Dubya, and how you used it to criticize (not you-you, but you lefties in general). I love how it's ok for you to criticize the Right, but when we do it, it's racist. Which it's not. I never cared about his skin color, his birthright, his citizenship or any of that. That takes the eye off the real problems he caused.
