She fucking ethered him. The guy was actually trying to imply Donald Trump has had the same legislative experience as someone who is;
-Harvard "Magna Cum Laude" Law graduate.
-Former civil rights attorney
-Former Law professor
-Former Illnois State Senator
-Former US Senator
-Former Two-Term president
...
Trump can't even hold Barracks fucking shoes. Let alone pretend he has anywhere near his experience.

I like Angela but that clip only shows why I don't watch CNN. Still trying to appear as fair and balanced.
"Please respect each other." Yeah, how about no...

You're not alone.
We get it. You guys missed out on popular 1990s-2010s slang.
Welcome to the 90s
Welcome to the 90s
"Please be respectful."
Man I love our "allies."
Tell me about it.
What major incidents surrounding Obama makes Angela say that "he had to be the next best thing after Jesus"? Maybe those things were not reported as widely here in Sweden, or maybe it's because I wasn't as interested in American politics back then, but I can't recall if I've heard of those things. I can only recall the birth certificate issue, and while that was a nasty event it's the only one I can recall personally. If someone could mention a few things or briefly show how the standards were higher for Obama that would be appreciated. To be clear I'm not being disingenuous here, I'm genuinely interested.
I've heard of son as a verb but always passive voice and past tense. Like "got sonned." Don't remember ever seeing it like "she was sonning him" or "she sons him".
"Joe Walsh got sonned by Angela Rye" or "watch Joe Walsh get sonned by Angela Rye" would be more my expectation I guess.

Indeed but it's the reality of what many people have to go through on a daily basis when we have any sort of discussion on subjects of racism, homophobia, sexism, islamphobia. People who see themselves as left leaning are quick to advocate "respect" and try to pretend that someone holding racist/bigoted views is simply a "difference in opinion" and that the oppressed side arguing for their humanity should still be "respectful" while the other side holds their position of basically "you're subhuman".

This is Brooke Baldwin though, she always tries too hard but ends up looking like an ass.

This was also the one time I went through the comments about a video involving race and wasn't disappointed. Go youtube community
She was using Jesus as a synonym for "Perfect", there is a saying in America "Black people have to be twice as good, to get half as much as white people". No one in the history of American politics was as scandal free as Barrack, they literally had to create fantasies to try to hang something on him.

My mother uses this website when she doesn't understand slang:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sonned
Yeah that really pissed me off. Like she became so uncomfortable the moment the word bigot was appropriately dished out.
I would have let slip far worse words than that had I been there.
Yeah I think I understood that's what she was getting at. What I mean is, isn't Obama universally one of the most liked presidents at least in modern times? Isn't that partly a product of him being pretty much scandal free? I mean I realize that the expression you quote holds true for a lot of PoC, but I'm not sure how it holds for Obama. Maybe there's something I'm not fully understanding here. Or am I being unclear?

Pretty much. Hell just compare Obama's qualifications to become President to Trump's (or even Romney's) and it becomes impossible to argue otherwise.

A Deadspin article used "sons" in its title re: Jose Bautista telling off some ignorant Toronto sportswriter on Twitter a couple years ago. The comments for the article were mostly the readers thinking Bautista's children were in a Twitter beef with a journalist, the rest mocking the author for his verb choice.
There is a good chunk of America that still believes he is an African that tricked his way into the white house to kill white people. No matter what reality and facts tell them
A common compliant from the GOP was Obama was too prepared, that he gave too much thought to his words
Fast Forward to trump and the same people say take it easy on Trump he doesn't know being president was going to be so hard
He's well liked by his supporters and people who aren't racists. Just look at all of the people who absolutely hate "Obamacare" even though they rely on it. He is not universally well liked.

I grew up in the 90's and never heard is used that way in my life.
Joe Walsh actually tries to make the case that Obama was just as inexperienced as Trump, and then Angela hits him exactly with that.
What an absolute moron that guy is.

Yea saw this yesterday live it was glorious to watch. Even had him stuttering,to much truth for him.
just because you never experienced something doesn't mean it isn't a thing. Never tasted pumpkin spice, but i don't doubt it exists
They made fun of him for using teleprompters.

Then bust a collective nut at LittleHand reading off a teleprompter for an hour while on adderall, and other downers.

I never said it wasn't a thing. I'm just asking what the heck it means as I, and obliviously many others, have never heard it used as a verb before.

I didn't know "hella" was a thing until a couple years ago, and that's also been a term since the 80s.
Cultural slang exists without everyone having to be "in on it"

He is ironically ranked as the second or third best president since WW2 in popularity polls, and simultaneously ranked as the first or second worst president as well since WW2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histo...nts_of_the_United_States#2017_Quinnipiac_poll
For those outside the USA, the country is fairly static: 44% of VOTING americans think democrats can do absolutely no wrong, 44% think republicans do absolutely no wrong, and elections are decided in that small 7-9% of VOTERS who flip back and forth every decade (the other 3-5% vote 3d party). They went Bill Clinton in the 90s, George Bush in the 2000s, Obama in the 2010s, and Trump in 2016.

Gotta love how they always try to turn it around as if they weren't the ones to bring up race first. Disappointed that the host didn't call him out on it. I mean, she read the tweet herself, out loud. He brought it up, not her.
So frustrating to watch. I do think it would go a long way, in an effort to disarm people from these weak ass defenses, is to instead of calling him a bigot for that tweet, is to say that the tweet itself is bigoted.
"I didn't say YOU were a racist, I said you made a racist statement. Now defend it or rebuke it."

Boils down to that in order to get a black man in office, he had to have zero controversy or political/social scandals during his entire time in public life.
Obama was virtually spotless as far as politicians and celebrities go, catered to diplomacy for much of his presidency (rather than vilifying the right as hardcore liberals preferred) and still spent much of his presidency being subject to baseless rumors of being in a secret Muslim cabal dedicated to destroying Israel and the US. Oh, and that he hates white people which is why he expressed sympathy for victims of police violence.

Yeah it's not a new term
Also what a painful interview to watch. Respect for Ms Rye.
The moderator is trash. She's the same woman who c r ied crocodile tears because someone quotes the n word on her show. Cable news is performative bullshit.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Jesus.
Nah... let the bigot own their bigot ass remarks. In no way should their actions/ words be disconnected from the person.

News to me. But I am old and crusty, so that may be why.
And the only time Trump has done a descent job since starting is when he didn't ad lib and read word for word from a teleprompter.
Also, fuck that bigot Walsh.

Joe Walsh wasn't interested in defending his position. He just wanted to incense Angela Rye (and try and present himself as the "adult" in the argument to viewers) muddy the waters and run out the clock on the segment.
That's how jerks like him operate.
