Trump vows not to change the name of Thanksgiving despite cries from the 'radical left'

Leftists have criticized Americans for saying bad things about Muslim terrorists, Mexican gang members, black thugs who prey on the innocent and so forth. But, ironically, they have no problem slandering Trump, cops, border agents, conservatives, Christians, republicans and rich white bosses, among others. That is hypocritical.

It's par for the course at this point.

Are you one of the sock puppets by any chance?
 
Trump and his base only seem to care about culture wars and immigration. He has no real ideas and he is not offering any policies. He never really has, but he is tough on all immigration.

We could compare how Trump has been doing making America great again with how democrsts have been doing the same if only democrat candidates would make those comparisons for us to publicly judge between the two for ourselves.
 
The more hate rallies Trump holds, the more we see what the old adage ' the dumbing down of America' truly means.

I don't know if they're getting dumber. Most Americans have always been pretty dumb. They used to try to keep their dumbness in check. Now they wear it like a prom dress.
 
I have never heard this before now. What does the "radical left" want to call it?

Will you come to my festivus party? We're going to drink decaffeinated coffee out of shoes that Jesus Christ actually wore while we workshop some alternative names for Easter, paint blackfaces onto unsuspecting turkeys, and dance with Tituba in the woods.

Only if I can be appointed leader of the "Derisive Glances Prevention Committee". I'll make sure that there are nothing but loving glances between all involved.

Done.
 
It's not different from you, or any other anti-trumper lying to create division and fear.

So I don't really care either way, if that's the case.

Besides it's apparent that you're not old enough to remember that whole indigenous peoples day fiasco, that cropped up in the mid 90s.

Well, being from Hawai'i myself, Columbus had even less to do with us than he did the Caribbean islands that aren't even a part of the US. We went to Discoverers' Day and then went full blown Indigenous Peoples Day when bitchy white people told us we weren't adequately respecting some Italian dude who borrowed some boats from Spain to find a trade route that he never discovered while he decimated local populations on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. But anyway, I love Thanksgiving and have never in my entire life ever heard of anyone trying to rename it before I read this article that doesn't mention a single person or organization dedicated to doing it.
 
every single voter who voted for Donald Trump is complicit the words and actions of this corrupt, sub-human child who cheats on his wives and doesn't pay his bills.

it's THEIR fault.

I forgave the vote. That was a hard election for almost everyone. I don't forgive anyone who continues to support Trump at the end of 2019. I'm just waiting for history to prove them all to be complete jackasses.
 
I plan to. I got a place full of kids right now and a ham almost ready to cook!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving yourself too!

A ham?? On Thanksgiving?? You savage.
 
Since when have actual percentages mattered to pig liberals?


The number of KKK or Nazi affiliated persons in the US is so small it doesn't even register as a blip yet I seem to recall numerous Leftists on this board and the media describe the Right as the party of racists and Nazi fascists.


Was the Thanksgiving comment by Trump overblown and hyped? Sure.


But this outrage by the Left is typical of their idiotic hypocrisy and perpetual victimhood.

Who's outraged? The OP links a Fox article.
 

Ok. Tell me what is wrong with Native Americans objecting to Thanksgiving or, for that matter, Columbus Day? They may have a different take on the feast, given how many died in New England following the feast, much as blacks may object to statues honoring Confederate leaders, Basques and Catalans resent the government in Madrid, Sicilians resent the dominance of the north, etc.

Indian to settler: “What’s Thanksgiving all about?”
Settler: “That’s when we give thanks for the bounty of this great land, the forests full of game the rivers yielding fish, the beauty of the distant mountains.”
Indian: “You’re welcome.”
 
Why don't they just say "He's lying and I don't care"? It's accurate and they wouldn't have to perform mental gymnastics every other day to try and prove he didn't mean what he said.

Good question. I don't get Trump supporters' minds. They should be studied in depth. He sure does have them trained, though, huh? He goes, "Thanksgiving." And they go, "****ing right! Mother****ing Thanksgiving! <frantically searches internet for anyone, someone, anywhere proposing renaming Thanksgiving." Wastes of space breathing air. All of them.
 
Hahahahaha. Does he have to pay taxes for the real estate he owns in your head. [emoji1787]

Seems far, as it doesn't appear he pays taxes on the real estate he owns in New York, either.
 
That's the same as dropping Baby Jesus down the well.

Leave it to conservative Christians to be offended by "Happy Holidays". I can't even fathom the persecution they've so courageously endured for all these couple of months.

They are welcome to think whatever they want. They are a group who want to change the name of and celebration of Thanksgiving.

Your very sloppy broad brush is typical of many tRump supporters.

The Don and his gang criticizes Muslims in general, Mexicans AS gang members, Blacks AS thugs, but you fail to mention the WHITE thugs, gang members and terrorists... :doh

Slander is a crime- where are the court cases??? :roll:

Your extreme bias is typical rabid right hypocrisy... :peace
 
As we have become a more diverse nation, these kinds of grumbles are inevitable. I grew up in Brooklyn, and in my all Catholic neighborhood, almost every house had Christmas lights. Joke was that you could drive down Ocean Parkway and hardly see any, given that it was a Jewish neighborhood. Thus “Season’s Greetings” signs were common. We made accommodations for our differences: my Italian grandma sent my uncle Sammy to light the lamps or gas or something for conservative Jews in their building; Joe the grocer, a Jew, would close on Good Friday from noon to three pm.

So we’ll adjust our language, some of us will grumble, others will raise their fists, and all of us will get over it before too long.

So gang members are only Mexican? Thugs are only black?
 
I vow not to change the name of St. Patrick's Day! So there! I'll even throw in Groundhog Day.
