I recall once upon a time people bitching about Obama and this and how he would abuse it.  Wonder how the #MAGA crowd will react this time:
 

He must be jealous of Beto.

Oriental still is okay among the older generation and those fresh in from, well, the Orient. You see it used all the time in Houston's Chinatown. I really don't know how that one came to have a negative connotation, as all it means is "Eastern," as opposed to "Occidental," which means Western. 

 

My understanding is that you can use “oriental” to describe a rug, vase, massage parlor. What is frowned upon is using it to label people.

I don't believe I'm the one whose head the point is flying right over, Pancho.

I’m fully aware of everything you posted. I’m not dumb but I know you like to think that.

 

regardless it has nothing to do with what I was stating

I have never had a thought vis a vis your intelligence at all.  Just pointing out that the point did not sail over my head.

In other words, in the past like in the response to Puerto Rico, we had no support. And he thanks him for the "compliment".

“Whenever we’re kinda tired and don’t feel like doing some bullshit like rescuing people or managing a crisis, this President absolutely supports us.”

I guess he’s ignoring the memo that his attempts to undermine the “rigged witch hunt” have completely failed as its more popular than ever and his partner in crime Manafort is singing like a canary. 

His tweets are starting to sound like weak farts.

I scan the headlines every morning just to see if dipshit is still the president.

And come away disappointed that he's still wasting oxygen.

Kind of like the false hope that fills my heart every time the Sandusky thread gets bumped.

You are probably right, but I don't really see why it's an insult to have an "Oriental Book Store" but it is to describe a person as Oriental. A few years ago they were trying to rename Chinatown because it's not just Chinese. It's almost equally Vietnamese. And then there are the Taiwanese. Ever big strip mall has a sushi bar and Korean restaurant. There are Malay and Indonesian places too. Some wanted to call it Asiatown, but then that offended Indians and Pakistanis, etc., because aren't they from Asia too? 

If I moved to China and somebody called me a "Westerner," I can't imagine how I would find that offensive.

It’s because east and west are relative to Europe as in the center of the world or civilization. Asian refers to the continent rather than a relative location. To Asians, North Americans might as well be Oriental and they Occidental.

So now Trump doesn't like the negative publicity from an FBI investigation?  It's what put him in office.   Only that one was fruitless, and this one is sending folks to prison left and right. Well, right at least.

lol The phone probably isn’t even plugged in.

And Trump probably has flannel PJ bottoms on under the desk. He ain’t posted up in his bed having “executive time” in a fucking blazer and slacks.

Pence looks like a dad making sure his unruly asshole kid calls Nana for her birthday.

Why would Brock kiss his ass?

When FEMA administrator Brock Long started his job last year, he began to take routine trips home to North Carolina, using a government driver and vehicle to make the six-hour trek from Washington, D.C. An aide, who would stay in hotel room at taxpayer expense, would also accompany Long on these trips.

According to Politico, Long’s taxpayer-funded travel has become the subject of an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general, who took notice after a government vehicle was involved in an accident while in Long’s use. The administrator’s trips home to North Carolina have also drawn the ire of his boss, DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who reportedly confronted him about them this summer. One source told Politico that Nielsen suggested Long, who was traveling home too frequently for the secretary’s liking, resign over the issue.
