Some people here get very offended when I use the term 'degenerate', because it's a white supremacist buzzword, one of the many things they like to say without understanding its meaning. But really, I can think of no better word to describe the President and his ilk, whose views are relics of an age of stupidity that should long since have gone the way of the dinosaur. They really are an impediment to our moving forward as a species.
Welp...self fulfilling prophecy i suppose...

Hillary may have been overly harsh when she called Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables", but I've located a confirmed basket of at least one, in the Oval Office.
I believe she had called said that 'half' of Trump's supporters were deplorables. And statistically, she's probably right.
I'm willing to bet that by now it's the majority of people who still support him.
I feel like this plus him referring to non-European countries as "shithole countries" among other things are blatant indications that he's a massive racist.
Can we please fucking turn back time
... and change it. I don’t want to relive this hell.
I hate this timeline.
Did you not get the memo? it's okay for him to be racist, because at least he ain't Hillary!
Is it really another thing getting hijacked by white supremacists? Dang, I liked that insult.
In a move lauded by Republicans, Trump soon to announce the creation of 'Refugee Camps' built in the Arizona desert that will provide contcentrated housing and work opportunities to illegal immigrats in the country, with easy and convent rail service from around the country.
"It's a great place to live, if you don't mind the constant stink of burning flesh and the late night screaming" says ICE agent.
I've heard some people make the argument that he was "merely referring to the MS-13 gang members." But it's not a good idea to give this president the benefit of the doubt when his administration clearly has it out for all immigrants, not just the "violent" ones. His policies align with the worst reading of his statement, not a charitable one.
"What he really means is" is the stupidest meme considering so many Trump voters voted for him because he "tells it like it is".
He tells it like it is but we need a hundred surrogates and Fox News to tell us what "it" is.
I bet Trump thinks all illegals are part of groups like MS-13 and he can't differentiate between the regular people and them.
"Hillary's a Democrat who helped found the KKK! It's true because I saw it in a video narrated by text-to-speech! Checkmate, libcucks!"
So, not to be defending Trump...but he is referring to violent criminals as animals? I can't read the article because of the paywall, but from what you posted I'm reading it as he is calling violent criminals animals. If that is the case people are getting upset over nothing...and the title is majorly sensationalized.
He was literally responding to a woman who was talking about MS-13. Trump says enough stupid and horrible things. We don't need to manufacture them out of nothing.
She said: "There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don't meet a special threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.
Trump's response: "We have people coming into the country, are trying to come into the country, we're stopping a lot of them, but we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are. These aren't people. These are animals."
That may be so, but Trump has also gone on record in the past and called illegal Mexican immigrants "rapists" and that "they're not sending their best". It's impossible to ignore the historical context Trump has with saying offensive things about foreigners his base doesn't like. MS-13 is a subtopic of illegal immigration that Trump tangles himself up in with offensive statements often enough, as well.
Dude hates Latinos and brown people if they're inside "his" country and he knows his core supporters will back his play because they feel nebulously threatened.
In other words,
And funnily enough, what are the following three replies?
It is still absurdly fucking edgy to unironically call people "degenerates".
Hard to take a point seriously when it sounds like something written on the back of a hot topic shirt.
Aaah, so that's the quote I've seen floating around Twitter.
Good to see Trump's continued to devotion to being walking garbage.
The classic conservative trope of dehumanizing the group of people they currently take issue with.
i want to go back to 2015
Imagine an alternate history of the recent past where Newt Gingrich died suddenly and tragically of a heart attack in 1998 and didn't live to burn down so many more Congressional traditions and rules that had kept the chambers relatively healthy with bipartisan debate and compromise. And maybe also where Dick Cheney decided to devote his career to being a defense contractor CEO or something instead of getting into politics.
Why doesn't he just outright says "fuck the immigrants, put them all in gas chambers" once and for all so we can be done with him?
Wonder when Americans think it's enough. Setting red line at firing of Mueller or Rodstein seems a bit weak.
The problem isn't Americans think this isn't enough. It goes deeper than that, there is risks and problems that can stop us or slow us down. The geography of the US, it can take hours or even days to go to one place or the next, going to an area of civil disorder will have unintended consequences. Internal conflicting ideologies, polarizing politics in the US might escalate to Americans fighting their own neighbors, other citizens, not just the police or military. Apathy caused by the staggering amounts of information from the internet we use for subjective entertainment, to waste our time, reinforce our opinion, and further exasperated by political propaganda can diminish the influence of protests. Riots no matter how small will be used for propaganda, treated not as a symptom of grievance, but caused by protests, or ineffectual self-destructive stupid Americans. Economic inequality, American work culture, and company standards together with US geography will have ill effects for citizens whose intentions to use protests or riots against corruption could lead to their future being compromised, ruined.
Trump's approval rating has been up (relatively) as of late.
Fewer Americans think the current Mueller investigation is justified.
We are at a precipice here. I'm thankful that my work basically will let me move to almost any country worth living in, but things could get bad real quick.
