Surt, people are laughing because you did one of your standard "nothing harder than being a White male in America!" antics and it blew up in your face as both Biden and Bernie (the two you specifically named no less) are the last two standing. See?
Well, some leftist people might take issue with the fact that you're calling a Jewish man a "white male." Some Jews, as well.

And, in Surtur's defense, he was all about Tulsi even before I knew what her positions were. I'm a late comer to her "platform" because I was simply ignorant.
You're correct, Rob peddled a narrative that was just wrong. Demonstrably so.

So Biden vs Trump and Trump wins?????????????????
His win was all but guaranteed before this Coronavirus was released into the world from Chinese communist scum regardless of who the dem nominee would've been.
Now though, depending on how this crisis plays out and how much it negatively affects our economy and the world market, he actually has a real chance of losing.
It's a small chance, imo, but still a chance nonetheless.

^ lol, beat me to it.
Well, I think I actually agree with some of what Ethneo is saying there. This virus scandal may hurt Trump a good bit, even though I don't think it's necessarily his fault (that does seem to fall on the Chinese government) he is dealing with it extremely poorly. Not only using as an excuse to be xenophobic and obnoxious, but also having gutted the staff that would have been responsible for dealing with it. And making Pence is charge... Jesus Christ.. Trump is profoundly incompetent for dealing with such a complex and very social problem. He's incapable of listening to wiser authorities on any given subject. It's just a mess. facepalm

When the WHO director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced last month that the new coronavirus disease would be called COVID-19, he referred to the 2015 guidelines to explain why the name did not refer to Wuhan, the city in central China where the virus is thought to have originated. “Having a name matters to prevent the use of other names that can be inaccurate or stigmatizing,” he said, adding, “It also gives us a standard format to use for any future coronavirus outbreaks.”
When conservative figures such as Pompeo and McCarthy continually refer to the “Wuhan virus” or “Chinese coronavirus,” even after the WHO announcement, it’s clear they’re doing it to make a point. The purpose may be to combat what they see as political correctness in avoiding references to the geographic origin of the virus. Or, as a State Department official told The New York Times when asked about Pompeo’s use of “Wuhan virus,” the point may be to combat Chinese Communist Party propaganda that has suggested the virus did not originate in China after all. But when Trump, with the help of Miller, calls it a “foreign virus,” the calculus is much simpler: “foreign” = “bad.” The coronavirus, of course, doesn’t care what it’s called and, like all contagions, will continue to spread regardless of any jingoistic posturing.

Exactly. 👆
And when they go around calling all of their political opponents "Nazis" and the President of the United States "Hitler" they shouldn't be surprised when no one takes them and their labels seriously anymore.
They've cried "Wolf!" way too many times.

Cut poor pooty and his little butt-buddy PL a break, Surt. Their communist idol getting his rear-end kicked by a creepy guy who doesn't even know where he is half the time was pretty hard on them.
They're still coping with the fact their lame communist revolution failed... AGAIN... and they're gonna be coping and consoling each other for at least the next five years since Trump is gonna win again in November.

Okay, your Biden reference was actually pretty funny. 👆
But yes, everything else...

But how is he a xenophobic? That’s the question I’m asking.
Do you know the role of the Presidency? The President sole jobs is to make sure the constitution is being followed, and the protection of the Citizens and the Country.
Trump comes off more like an idiot than a xenophobe. Stop using words just to sound hip and cool.
@squallx Agreed that Trump's an idiot. An "idiot" you still support, odd, that.
Xenophobia means: "having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries"
Which is the point of the article. Trump's doing his 'Us vs Them' thing again. Like he's done with Mexicans and Muslims, ie "it's not your fault your life sucks, it's those people." type of rhetoric.
