Asking law enforcement to stop people who “look like” terrorists would waste colossal amounts of time that could be spent capturing actual terrorists. Also there’s that pesky constitution we are sworn to live by.
Let’s get fiscal.
Donald Trump has been heartily endorsed by avowed, hard-core racist groups and their leaders, which is who Clinton was likely referring to when using the term “basket of deplorables.” Trump has said far worse, but Clinton is held to a different standard in the name – oddly – of fairness.
(Donald) Duck & Cover.
There are fine arguments to be made for standing and paying respect when the national anthem is played (As is customary in all countries, far as I can tell .…)
There are also rational arguments for not doing it. Jackie Robinson chose to not stand, as does NFL player Colin Kaepernick. To me, the flag and anthem represent not only the tremendous sacrifices made, but the promise, the aspiration of what America can and wants to be. But this young country is still a work in progress. For Kaepernick it’s not about the rare fame, money and spoiled rock stardom of being a pro athlete. It’s about the mistreatment of African Americans in the real world, outside the shiny sports arenas. One can argue about standing for the anthem, but not about the lingering existence of inequality and mistreatment.
Trump’s immigration plan is morphing to sound like one a reasonable candidate might try to implement. Which of course will morph again by mid-morning tomorrow.
What used to be considered fringe lunacy: White nationalism, neo-Naziism, aggressive declarations of sovereign nation status (y’know to wriggle out of paying your fair tax-share…) and similar depressing, antisocial hate behavior have become an indisputable and chilling component of the mainstream Trump presidential campaign.
