monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

You mustn't take my word but a look in a dictionary better instead of consulting an encyclopaedia.

Well, given the predominance of pseudo-intellectual cheese-eaters in the media, and ****, it seems that anything "common" has, according to some dictionaries, come to mean things like

Quote:

rude, indecent, indelicate, offensive, distasteful, coarse, crude,

By the way, this particular dictionary appears to disagree with your etymology, eh?

Quote:

late Middle English: from Latin vulgaris, from vulgus ‘common people.’

No. You aren't really experienced in looking up sources, isn't it?

@layman,

Must be something deeper than that. Maybe you were once bitten by a German shepherd?

If you happen to be of a"vulgar" (or common) stripe, but want to give the appearance that you are sophisticated, refined, and superior (an "uncommon" type), there probably aint no better way than to be seen nibblin on some exotic cheese and marveling about how wonderful it is, eh, Ollie?

A chump like that will even pronounce limburger to be "exquisite," ya know? Or any other thing that smells like a piece of ****, I suppose, so long as it's not something that is common, and therefore dreadful.

I pity the fools.

By the way, Ollie, your hero, Michael Moore, says Obama aint never done much

I was thinking the exact same thing doing the dishes two days ago. His legacy is... well, Trump. Obama played the cool, smart, even intellectual president but he never daigned to get his hands dirty at politics. He enjoyed and still has got so much popular support. He could have pushed back aggressively on the Republicans and tea baggers, got involved in reforming the Democrats, promoted pro-poor Dem candidates and honest reformist congressmen, promote good quality public education, react to the Snowden revelations by fencing in intel agencies, etc. What a waste of talent.

In the end we got this scam of an election.

Well, y'all can prefer your dainty poseur for president, if ya want, but, my own damn self, I'll take a vulgar hard-workin guy who aint out to bullshit nobody about what he is and just rolls up his sleeves and gets busy.

Like a brick-layer or a plumber, ya know? You can keep your candyass, cheese-eatin, "journalists" at CNN and their phony-ass idol, Obama.

Well, in my neck of the wood it's not a weird foreign food that some despise and other fancy... It's local. Primarily a question of rural economy, pastoralism, traditions, origins, shepherds and their flock. Before fridges, cheese was the best way to store milk over long periods. Each region, each valley had its own way to make it. Cheese is a marker of regional indentity, like a flag.

As traditional to us as baseball is to you.

I realize that this may sound strange.

The only question I have about Trump is: how much damage will he make?

CNN was founded by a billionaire. You'd expect them to support the staus quo and a president like Obama who's shy to shake it up.

@Voice asMusic,

Yes, that was ugly.

The first time I bumped into the "cuck" thing was when I was commenting at NRO several years ago. At the time, I thought the guy was a one-off jerk and didn't realize it was a derogation these people used when they found someone arguing in support of Obama.

Just what we need. Sounds like yet another "charitable foundation" scam, eh?

From the French article you linked...

Quote:
Trump’s alt-right trolls have subjected me and my family to an unending torrent of abuse that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I distinctly remember the first time I saw a picture of my then-seven-year-old daughter’s face in a gas chamber. It was the evening of September 17, 2015. I had just posted a short item to the Corner calling out notorious Trump ally Ann Coulter for aping the white-nationalist language and rhetoric of the so-called alt-right. Within minutes, the tweets came flooding in. My youngest daughter is African American, adopted from Ethiopia, and in alt-right circles that’s an unforgivable sin. It’s called “race-cucking” or “raising the enemy.” I saw images of my daughter’s face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her. I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a “niglet” and a “dindu.” The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with “black bucks.”

It's a crowd of really special Americans supporting Bannon and Trump.

I had to go and take a look see to see what the hullabaloo was actually about.

Let me ask you, which is worse? Dumb shits posting nasty things on the internet (hardly an uncommon occurrence anymore) or this?

I know you have a soft spot for the Obama supporters and all things anti-trump. I also know that you will be fine with condemning these thugs as well. Just as I also condemn the idiots that paste hate filled posts against their political rivals. But please stop making it appear that the only "bad Americans" are Trump Supporters.
