You're taking my posts from here, going to another forum altogether, and making it the subject of a discussion over there? And, you say I'm the one who's off the plot here?

You're crazy, man. You're crazy!

Can't see that on mobile. Is an audio description available?

The covfefe is strong in you.

Never mind the relatively harmless nonsense happening in colleges.

Donald Trump’s campaign and election have added an alarming twist to school bullying, with white students using the president's words and slogans to bully Latino, Middle Eastern, black, Asian, and Jewish classmates. In the first comprehensive review of post-election bullying, BuzzFeed News has confirmed more than 50 incidents, across 26 states, in which a K-12 student invoked Trump’s name or message in an apparent effort to harass a classmate during the past school year.

In the parking lot of a high school in Shakopee, Minnesota, boys in Donald Trump shirts gathered around a black teenage girl and sang a portion of “The Star Spangled Banner,” replacing the closing line with “and the home of the slaves.” On a playground at an elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, third-graders surrounded a boy and chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

On a school bus in San Antonio, Texas, a white eighth-grader said to a Filipino classmate, “You are going to be deported.” In a classroom in Brea, California, a white eighth-grader told a black classmate, “Now that Trump won, you're going to have to go back to Africa, where you belong.” In the hallway of a high school in San Mateo County, California, a white student told two biracial girls to “go back home to whatever country you're from.” In Louisville, Kentucky, a third-grade boy chased a Latina girl around the classroom shouting “build the wall!” In a stadium parking lot in Jacksonville, Florida, after a high school football game, white students chanted at black students from the opposing school: “Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump!”

Teachers, like everybody else in the United States, realized at some point in 2016 that this election was very different.


Over her 10 years as a middle school English teacher in Spokane Valley, Washington, Amanda Mead liked to shift her curriculum based on current events. She assigned readings from the civil rights era when protests roiled Ferguson in 2014. In 2012 and 2008, her classroom discussions often turned to the presidential election.

“We’d talk about Bush, Obama, McCain, et cetera, and the kids would just nod their heads,” Mead said. “But as the campaign heated up last year, I started to notice a pretty significant change among my kids. They would say things that I have never heard kids in my school district say. Far more vitriolic.”

She caught a group of white students following a Latino student in the hallway, taunting him with chants of “the wall’s coming!” and “Trump! Trump! Trump!” She overheard kids repeating insults Trump had aimed at Hillary Clinton.

For the kids, there was no escaping Trump. His speeches played on television nearly every night. Every adult seemed to be talking about him — at dinner tables, on social media. He was the central figure of the cultural moment, and he talked like a playground bully.

I can hear 42 already; instead of the usual mantra of "but the democrats" it will be "but the campus liberals..."

Bored of his stupidity now.

Rolling Stone:
"You aren't. It's as bad as you think, and possibly worse. We've elected a president who isn't just unqualified for the job but who actively hurts the United States every day. Your palms should be clammy with fear."

OMG! He actually believes Trump is gonna drain the swamp!

Trump cultists show their delusion and cognitive dissonance yet again.

I don't "believe" anything. I just don't require any president to keep his promises in 4 months. You blokes gave Obama 8 years, can't you give Trump some breathing space?

Do ya'll know how hysterical you look? It's like something I've never seen before. People have lost their minds.

You can't drain the swamp by actively adding to it. It doesn't matter how long you wait. He took decisions that are the antithesis of what he claimed he would do. That can't be undone. He's done it. He's added to the swamp.

The analogy is most unfair to swamps, which are fascinating ecological communities and hotbeds of biodiversity! And they're full of wonderful frogs!

But plenty of snakes too..

I like snakes!

(although not so much I'd pick up a venomous one, unlike an old mate at uni who would grab 'em with the greatest of ease...)
