New York Times columnist Charles Blow took to Twitter Friday afternoon with a message of unity, no doubt inspired by Divine Providence after rejoicing in the Thanksgiving holiday.
Just kidding. The author of “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” told his followers point blank that Trump fans need not apply for friendship.
If u support Trump, we don't have anything to talk abt & we can't be friends. This isn't abt parties or ideology; This is abt right & wrong— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017
He followed up his Tweet saying that Trump’s lying was the cornerstone of his rejection of his political adversaries.
Lying is a foundational sin; It makes all other sins possible. Trump lies ALL THE TIME. That for me is a deal-breaker out of the gate!…— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017
Blow also offered a pretty lame life mantra.
This is my mantra: Equal rights for everyone, global warming is real, equal pay, #BLM, #LovesIsLove, #believewomen. And I'm anti-Trump!— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 24, 2017
This type of anti-Trump commentary is not that surprising for the opinion writer. In an article titled "Trump Isn’t Hitler. But the Lying...", Blow wrote:
"That is the very real threat we are facing. Trump isn’t necessarily a direct threat to your life — unless of course you are being kept alive by health care that he keeps threatening, or if you’re in Puerto Rico reeling in the wake of two hurricanes — but he is very much a threat to your quality of life."
However, his thinking is delusional for multiple reasons. In his mind, mere support for the president of the United States is an affront to him as a person. Therefore, rather than find commonality with his political opponent on a variety of other issues, the easiest route for him is to cut them out of his life completely. He forgoes the possibility of converting somebody who disagrees with him because it's easier to surround himself with likeminded people.
Blow is advocating the polar opposite of one our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote, "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."
What a sad life one leads when they allow political factions to seep into personal friendships.
Trump is a fundamental threat to your way of life if you are sucking on the public teat, satisfied with mediocrity or want to delude yourself into believing that Hillary won.
Otherwise, Trump is great to have in office.
The problem the left has is they have an echo chamber and don’t allow dissent, and if you dare to say something different from them (even if you back it up with charts, data, etc) you must be lying. Divergence from their groupthink isn’t a dissent, but is an abject offense to their religion, and thus you are a heretic who MUST be destroyed at all cost. You aren’t wrong, but EVIL.
Is it bad that with him, now working for the NY Times, literally is a “Blow j*b”? ;)
Good one.
The WaPo has a “list” of the “1999” lies of Trump.
I’ve gone through some of it and found the documentation to prove they are lying sacks of sh!t, but it wouldn’t matter to them.
It’s hilarious. If you don’t follow their groupthink, you MUST be a liar. Doesn’t matter how much documentation you have. I’ve provided documentation to the idiots, and when they can’t fight anymore, they start calling me a Russian.
It’s pretty funny. If it wasn’t so sad for the future of our country, I’d laugh.
This morning, I drove by this pretty girl on my way to work. Then, she passed me, and on the back of her car was a bumper sticker that said “Social Justice starts in the womb”. I drove past her again, and just shook my head in disgust.
Who would WANT to be friends with a POS like CBlow?
Blow should thank God every day for his blackness. If he weren’t black, he he wouldn’t have anything to write about, and he wouldn’t have a job. However, 55 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed Blacks are continuing to whine about “injustice,” and the rest of us have had enough. If you still can’t make it in America after we’ve wasted $16.5 TRILLION on the thousands of anti-poverty programs, go to a Black-majority country and be happy.
Bite me, Blow.

It is.
You don't sound like the kind of person I'd want to be friends with anyway.
It was fun making it. A near relation has a Viking name, not because he is (much) but because his dad admired Vikings. Lord Sommerled was half a Viking, that’s the connection. Are you?

As a descendant of Lord Somerled , and a member of Clan Donald of the Isles I carry those genes. How very ESP of you, LOL.
