    with your statements that I was being racist by posting that quote, he just did that in one of his speeches too - so I just assumed this was the new marching orders as Trump supporters usually follow suit, but in this case my assumption was wrong

    I think your right about Trump, he is like a schoolyard bully that would call people whatever he could to get under their skin, and then whine when people called him on it, and say everyone is against me, it's not fair

    Not according to RWers on this forum, who think Trump can do everything on his own.

    Basically true... we can probably leave it there... certainly not a crime.

    There is a house vote today to condemn Trump's statement.... See if it goes straight party lines

    SNIP
    3. “strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color by saying that our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may look to the President like immigrants, should “go back” to other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as “invaders,” and by saying that Members of Congress who are immigrants (or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants) do not belong in Congress or in the United States of America.”

    Well I'm not part of the hyphenated-America.

    “There is no room in this country for hyphenated-Americanism…"

    Those words sound like something Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump might say.
    It was President Theodore Roosevelt who said it

    no, but it tends to make me look for real solid examples of racism vs bad ones and more importantly to take things into context.

    Hell, I've told my canadian/american co-worker to go home before. He was constantly telling me just how awesome canada is compared to the usa (better health care, better politicians, better cops better roads, nicer people, etc etc) so I told him to go back there if he likes it so dam much, (omg i'm just awful) he didn't get offended but he did quit the b1tching, at least to me, the point was made that I was tired of the crap.

    It wasn't racist ONLY because he's a pasty white heterosexual male, if he had a been a black/gay/muslim, I could have been referred to HR for my racism.

    Bar-b-que becky, Permit Patty Golf Cart Gail, Cornerstone Carol, Pool Patrol Paula... Evidence of Real Racism? or white shaming...
    240 million police calls a year and NO WHITE person was EVER called out for an infraction? sorry, not buying it.

    All of this has made me pretty much immune to the white noise. (pun not intended)

    Well damn they can move on something after all. Something that doesn't do a damn thing for a single person in the entire country.

    Meanwhile, we have half of Latin America pouring over the border and they haven't been able to do a damn thing about it (except deny that its happening). If I had the power, I would have the entire group of miscreants put up on charges of treason. I have never seen a group more incompetent in doing one of the core requirements of their job..... namely protecting their nation's borders.

    They are violently anti-Semitic. Real racism is anti-American, at least the ideal America we historically have aspired to be.

    Historically, Americans have been all over the board on the issue of racism.

    To a paranoid and delusional leftist, color blind behavior appears to be racist.

    It’s the same in the media. Leftists are upset when they see news presented in a neutral manner (without a liberal slant).

    When you show me a case of actual racism, I'll address it.

    This (the OP) is not one of those cases.

    "But first, you have analyze facts, and to be honest...."

    Daniel, you've misrepresented, or just missed everything, Pollycy so carefully composed. I'm saddened in part but mostly fatigued with the inability to find common ground yet effortlessly default to discordant partisanship in reply and think it fine.

    you lose all credibility with that one, even the right knows Trump is the biggest liar ever

    Trump lies so much his own lawyers thought it woudl be a perjury trap to have him talk under oath

    but thanks to Trump no President will ever have to speak under oath again, just hand in written answers to questions

    "The squad" stood in opposition to a bill providing supplemental funds for the border which Trump very much wanted to see pass. Pelosi also wanted this bill to pass. It wasn't what he wanted (no wall money), but, it passed.

    Let's face it. Trump has the emotional maturity of a 3 year old; so he let fly a string of irrational, demeaning and, yes, racist tweets.

    That is the issue: It is not racism.

    Then you are denying the rather obvious truth.
    The Odd Squad is anti-American, and now that the rest of the DP pols have embraced the Squad we know exactly where the DP establishment stands.
    The DP hates America.

    No that is your hang-up. Your arrested view of others sees nothing else.
