Trump calls the impeachment inquiry a "lynching"
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
Feel like a fairly common comparison, frankly, even though it's as loaded as it is. I don't mean that as a defense at all. I've heard "cancel culture is how we get lynchings", to which I have to think "no, white supremacy and colonialist slavery is how we get lynchings".
Burgess Everett @burgessevGraham just angrily doubled down on agreeing this is a political "lynching"
"What's happened to your profession?" he scolds reporters
"It's not just racial my friends. No. I'm from South Carolina I understand it very well. Mob rule is what lynching is all about"

Can't believe there are people out there that see him as this alpha dude when he's out here all day whining about his feelings like an insecure little bitch
Graham needs to take a sip of his mint julep and shut the fuck up.
no he needs to keep talking, the more he talks the more republicans will jump ship
Yes. White men from all around the country will try their best to normalize this shit.
Either that or something along the lines of "Yes, I agree with Mister Trump that it TOTALLY is like rape."
You're not cynical- You're giving him too much credit.
He's just a fucking idiot. He probably heard a conservative radio host say something similar and parroted it. He's honestly so stupid that it's hard to fathom that he remembers to wake up in the morning.
I think it is worse. They want everyone to empathize with him like he some misunderstood villain antagonist. They can kiss my bear ass.
Sometimes I forget that piece of shit was responsible for the new immigration policies. I hope he ends up falling with Trump.
So what he's saying here is that Trump doesn't consider lynching to be one of America's darkest moments. I get it.
Was just listening to the Dollop about the formation of the LAPD and the mass lynching of Chinese immigrants. Then I wake up to read this...
I hope this gets people to vote.
I hope this gets people to vote.
As a non-american I'm honestly curious, is there ANY documented lynchings at all that didn't start as racially motivated?
Not that it excuse the orange buffoon usage of it anyway but I feel like there's vigilantism, mob justice and so many other words to describe what he's going for here. Never "lynching" though to my knowledge, that just feels disingenuous and loaded as shit.
Well, lynching has been used as a term for others who have been killed without legal trials, but the absolute biggest hit of the term was as it related to the murder of black people by white mobs in the USA. There is 0% chance that anyone even remotely talking about this in the US political system does not know this.
This is like whistleblowing but more like whistlewheezing.
The definition doesn't necessitate race. But in American political context of course it does
'Racist president says racist thing,' is more correct. Let's not excuse the blatant hate and racial ignorance he exhibits daily as mere idiocy. The man is vile and irredeemable, the latest stain on our country's wretched tabard and we should all look forward to the day when people who once proudly supported him are relegated to meeting in dark alleys behind dumpsters. That's more than just being a dumb man. Donald Trump is evil.
Though I agree, that shouldn't be a headline.
We unfortunately have time for that to work as a headline. Give it a week.
I am just saying that the more this inquiry goes on, the more unhinged he might get, which could lead to some even crazier shit.
Erm. Hard to say without knowing the exact crazy shit. But knowing his MO, it could mobilize his base, galvanize those against him, or both.
That's not his definition
The real definition is, a white male of considerable wealth ($420) getting charged with a crime they committed and admitted to it, what what I thought this was America
If "Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately," where do Biden's words come from and how does he normally choose them?
