Trav Le Bleu Posted 3 October 2017 Share Posted 3 October 2017 Surprised no one's brought it up here, but his speech after the LV shooting? Pretty cold I felt. Then he's been down in Puerto Rico, seeing the destruction from Hurricane Maria and basically saying, "well, you should see how bad we had it from Katrina! Call that a hurricane, pffft!" In not so many words, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In not so many words, maybe more. 1 It got covered a little bit in the thread for that event, but to reiterate...I think he had precious little choice to be cold in that way because he couldn't use it to go after a group his supporters want him to target...so no talk about "losers" or promising action here. He might have been able to pin it on Antifa (that's certainly the road r/thedonald and //pol took) but evidently he thought not enough people would buy that. So yeah...it had to be how it was.

Don't really know enough about how this all works in the US to form an opinion. I have no problem with contraception though, apart from when I'm drunk. I personally have always seen them as a commodity and paid for them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough - I can certainly understand the economic argument (though in the long term surely more accessible contraception would cost less than unwanted pregnancies). What gets my goat here is that it is female only contraception being limited in this, and the reasons given to opt out are religious in nature. That has no place in modern legislation.
