Trump issued his demands in a lengthy social media post after a stronger-than-expected August jobs report, which could bolster the case for Fed officials to raise rates at their next policy meeting starting Sept. 15.
It’s unclear how such an action would help lower U.S. borrowing costs.
These dumbasses think it was really funny to try to appropriate that as some ironic label like they did with “deplorables”. Except, it was the DHS that pointed the finger right at right wing extremism when it came to domestic terrorism as a threat. Also, Hillary was right to label a certain percentage of the right as deplorable in their views. I think polling shortly after that time proved it, too.
I think, deep down, these awful people know it, too.
Honestly, if the “liberal media” didn’t make such a hullabaloo about a big nothing, essentially giving the extremely radical right wing an assist, it would have blown over as just merely being an accurate observation.
Instead, there is all the usual Murc’s Law bullshit at play here: Democrats have to be pure as the driven snow and cannot even state the truth lest it hurt the tender feelings of right wing snowflakes; Republicans, who are expected to be awful, and just cannot help it, get a pass on things like bragging about sexually assaulting women and having it written off as “locker room talk”.
Republicans are allowed to just about say and do anything and get praised as just being straight shooters that speak like everyday people. Heaven forbid a Democrat were to do the same thing…
“We are all domestic terrorists.”

Yeah Hillary was technically correct, but she couldn’t have had worse political instincts in that moment.
