Trump tell Congresswomen to go back to the country they


Jul 14, 2019, 2:03 PM

came from. For three of them that would be NewYork, Ohio and Michigan.

He is the worst President in our history. He is an embarrassment to the tradition and office of the Presidency. He plays to ignorance, hatred and divisiveness...and those who care only for money.

His responses are emotionally driven. As for the Presidents comment, he happens to be right, these 4 puppets (not sure about the 4th) spew nonstop hate for this country. Ever notice how much screen time they’re given? They’ve been in Congress for 6 MONTHS. Why is that? Because they’re preselected to broadcast a predetermined anti Trump message. Regardless, if they hate the US so bad then get the F out. Go back and fix the ######## you came from. Migrants in cages that complain? GO HOME if you don’t like it.

Omar is Somali. She is Muslim...but also black and African.

She is not Middle Eastern, nor is she from Saudi Arabia, where 19 of the 20 hijackers originated from. Actually Somalia is about 1,300 miles from Saudi Arabia as the crow flies, though there's this big gulf in the way...I Google Mapped it, and unless you fly it's a trip of about 115 hours (6,729km) since you've got to travel northwest through Sudan and then Egypt and above the Suez Canal before you loop back around and head towards the Middle East again.

So what on Earth is there to ask Omar about 9/11? I very much doubt she was in on it.

Jul 15, 2019, 8:12 AM

Here is a useful chart for those that are uninformed. Look at the period from 1071 to 1976 when we wentt off the gold standard, fully implemented in 1976 by the way. Debt, by going off the gold standard allowed an illusion of a vast middle class.

http://www.polidiotic.com/by-the-numbers/us-national-debt-by-year/



If you care to look you will see a corresponding rise in consumer debt after 1976. I bet you believe those tax rates from the 1950's are also a valid talking point too, you would be wrong again. Those 70% rates , nobody paid that, as the allowable deductions at the time lowered them dramatically. In truth the effective federal tax rates of that era are almost the same as they are today.

I think they are seriously dissatisfied with America and want to turn it into something that is dishonorable but if given freedom to command they would split into two groups. Presley and AOC would join to fight against the two muslims who would love for America to be a muslim caliphate. Neither of the four has any respect for the constitution unless they can twist something to make a point.

women are different races. He does. Are you letting him off the hook for racism because many latinas and people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa are considered part of the white race?

as stated above, I think he's an idiot and he's comments are idiotic.

It's splitting hairs, but the term racism gets thrown around a lot these days and I think it's important to be correct.

The crux of the matter though is President Trump thinks these women are from different countries...isn't that the most disturbing part? Past that, only one was born outside of the US...so the 2nd most disturbing part is the whole "fix where you came from first" BS.

Why does he think they're from different countries?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not sure...I suspect because they like to....


Jul 15, 2019, 10:17 AM

cite their heritage. One actually was born in a different country.

I have to assume he thought AOC was born in Puerto Rico...but who knows.

I'm sure you're angling for skin color, but that doesn't make sense...else his comments would be taken towards a lot more than just these 3 or 4 women.

Your President who you defend endlessly told a black member of Congress to go back to Africa yesterday.

Not racist though.

Did I EVER say Trump was or wasn't racist?...


Jul 15, 2019, 10:37 AM

no

Come on man...you've lost it.

Do you really think you're raising valid points in your posts?

The very fact that you think of me as a Trump apologist is proof enough that you haven't a clue.

You're breathlessly defending him telling a black woman to go back to Africa and saying that is xenophobic, not racist.

That's a pathetic position to take just to defend Trump.

At no point does he say anything positive about what the President said. He is talking about labels, not about good/bad.

I understand what he's saying very well. He's trying to deflect from racism to xenophobia. An intellectually dishonest method of making it a less abrasive word, thus excusing the President's behavior.

And his "they're actually white" sideshow was disturbing to say the least.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's only less abrasive if you think it is.


Jul 15, 2019, 11:05 AM

I think they are equally bad.

of course they're equally bad...hate is hate...


Jul 15, 2019, 1:23 PM

I'm not sure how that concept is lost on CU17.

And somehow pointing out that racism isn't the correct term, in part, because they're the same race...makes me a white supremacist. LOL

These tweets are outrageous...


Jul 15, 2019, 7:08 AM

I don't believe the President makes these tweets by himself, with no one else knowing. So it makes me even more concerned for his staff that thought these tweets were a good idea.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree with flow that I don't necessarily see "racism".


Jul 15, 2019, 7:13 AM

(I don't even see where he even named any names of any people)

But that doesn't make the tweets any better. The tweets are bad because they're mean-spirited, at best, and hateful, at worst. We can argue the "root cause" of that attitude, whether it's racism, or xenophobial, or whatever, but that's just window-dressing with labels.

he could have expanded his base some like Reagan, Clinton, Dubya, and Obama did.

Being the default less of the two evils may not be popular with people who make a living at politictin' but Trump isn't a politician and has an empire to run when his term is over. He doesn't have to make a living giving speeches.

You are forgetting that the dems tried to call Reagan a racist too.

Bush as well, but he didn't have to backbone to overturn all of Clinton's stuff so it was toned down a bit.

They’re all coached, scripted, race-baiting anti-Trump idiots.

I like the bookends Omar and Talib, who took their congressional oath on a Koran.

OMAR married her brother to gain US citizenship then divorced once that was finalized. Talib lied about her home address to represent a district that wasn’t hers but fit her nationality.
AOC is just mentally retarded, as she demonstrates every day. No idea who the quiet one is.

Good God the Breitbart is strong with this one.

Pressley and Talib are pretty sharp; Pressley in particular comes across as super-bright, has "Valedictorian" written all over her. AOC is often sharp (and sometimes brilliant, honestly) but she just as often reminds you how young she is, and Oh My is she hyper-idealistic and confuses "goals" with "rights". (Health care for all is not a right, youngster, it's a goal...a noble goal to be sure, but as ever, the problem is: who pays?) I still admire the girl's gumption and she's got crazy-good natural political instincts; she's going to be a heavy hitter and power player for a good long time...if she doesn't fall off her white horse and get turned into roadburger, which is perhaps equally likely.

I'll admit I've never been an Omar fan, though that business with "marrying her brother" is the kind of psychotic Internetz character assassination we've gotten used to from the far right. Nobody has remotely proven - nor is it really plausible - that the dude from England is her brother, but somebody posted it on the Internetz and the wingnut conspiracy fluffers were off and running with it. There's zero doubt her love life is an absolute mess, but Snopes and various other fact checkers out there are pretty much all shaking their heads on that one.

Omar does strike me as shady, cold, manipulative, and more than a bit sinister - you get the idea her default mode is palace intrigue, knives and poison in the dark - whereas the other three definitely do not come across like that. And anybody who thinks AOC is some sort of villain needs to puff and pass. A goofball Don - or Donna - Quixote, sure. And Oh My does she love her some photo ops. But a villain? Are you kidding? AOC is a born crusader, a gadfly, and she'll stick in the grill of the powerful as long as she's in office...her and Bernie Sanders are clearly kindred spirits, born to Fight The Good Fight (and usually to lose it.) You may not agree with Bernie, mind, but only an idiot would doubt his sincerity, and AOC is obviously another of that ilk.

Ultimately, though, playing the race - or xenophobia - card like that, and targeting anybody non-white and female...it's stupid, destructive, divisive...and reductive.

How many enemies can Trump afford to make? You make too many, and that's the election...he's already squeezed just about all the juice out of his base he's ever going to get, but the Dems have plenty of room to grow, especially if Trump keeps motivating them to turn out like he's doing right now.
