    Telling someone to back where they came from is not an epithet or ethnic

    And no an ethnic epithet is not racist because ethnicity and race are not the same thing

    No! She did not! She described something Pelosi did. Not something she is. Read the OP!

    And it created some friction but... we can always count on the orange idiot to bring Democrats together. Today they are all united with one common goal. Did you see Nancy at the House? She rocked! Good Job Donny!

    You do know that he is one at all

    It is not racist at all to say those things

    You understand a coworker can’t scream “racist” at coworkers, or call them white supremacists, Russian spies, sexual predators or rapists either. Nearly every Democrat in Congress should basically be fired for lying about Russia for 2 years. Or do rules not apply to Democrats? ;)

    If isolating a sentence fragment from the rest of a statement is PROOF of racism then Obama was as racist as they come. Wanna start playing THAT game?

    But what's interesting is that the leftist argument depends on people being too stupid to think though the transparently obvious leftist propaganda effort. Depending on people being stupid? How's that working out for the Left?

    Ethnic epithet is not racist or racist conduct because race and ethnicity are two different things

    Ignoring the meaning of words does not correct your failure

    There may be another way of looking at this. First of all, Trump is destroying the Republican Party as they follow down him down a very slippery slope. But that is not the point. There is another factor in all this.

    With Putin as his patron, Trump is acting very much like a Russian agent. He is making a mockery of the Office of the President, and it is obvious that he is racist and xenophobic. He is friendly with communist dictators while vexing our allies and weakening NATO, Putin's number one enemy. He is doing an effective job at making a farce of the executive branch of our government, attacking the other two branches of our government, causing division within Congress, and dividing the American people.

    Still, Trump should not be impeached. Why? First, it would be an exercise in futility. Obviously, Trump Republicans in the Senate always go along with what Trump says and does even when Trump is weakening the powers of the Senate. No way will they convict Trump in a Senate trial, and Trump could become a martyr, Good Lord. Trump wants to be impeached. He is trying to be impeached. It is his only chance in 2020.

    So, secondly, let Trump hang himself along with the Republican Party that supports him no matter what. The past three days prove that without a doubt. The way Trump is going he is so weakening himself, his administration, and his party, the Republicans may not regain the Oval Office for a generation. Don't impeach. When the other side is going out of its way to destroy itself, don't interfere.

    We all know Trump is buffoon. Even his fans who are completely frustrated trying to defend him know this. So, he can't do anymore harm. Nobody takes seriously what he says. We just have to weather through the next 16 1/2 months. With Trump entertaining us with his moronic remarks, it will go by fast.

    I can still remember when Trump told a huge television audience that George Washington's Continental Army captured enemy airports. Come on, now that is funny.

    Wow. Your standards are incredibly fickle...hehe. Trumps a racist and he’s never actually done or said a single thing that is actually racist. Yet AOC tosses the race card almost every day and it’s OK. Pelosi accuses Trump of wanting to make America white again...a totally racist accusation since he has never said anything that would indicate that.

    Yes, I do. Please provide examples of Obama's racism using quotes and sources showing what he said, not what you or some far right opinion says he said.

    You either did not read it or did not understand it. Racism is not an act. It's an attitude. If Trump questioned Biden's place of birth, and Hillary's and then Obama's.... well... Ok.... we could say the guy has some sort of "fixation" on where people are born. But no. He has a fixation with the place of birth of non-whites. Definite sign of pure racism!

    But you're going to deny it till you turn blue. So don't bother.

    The Federal Government, for which Trump and The Squad work for begs to differ. Not only racist, but potentially illegally racist.

    So you and the Trump cult are on your own.

    I did read it.

    What you do not get is that your op is a logical fallacy and a massive failure

    Yes racism is a belief

    But it has to be proven with actions and words

    Your statement that he is racist is not enough because you have no proof that he is one


    It is irrelevant what race someone is telling them to back where they came from does not refer to their race but to geography

    Try employing logic even though you have never grasped what it means

    You failed and have been proven wrong by facts

    Racism is not illegal and the federal government does not define what racism means

    You are proven wrong and so are they and that is an undeniable fact

    Jews prefer big government. But the politicians against Jews and Israel are all on the left.

    Hahaha! Nancy Pelosi is not racist because a leftist woman of color -- as A.O.C. called herself -- called Nancy a racist but Trump is a racist because -- and exclusively so -- because leftists are CALLING Trump a racist. Priceless . . . and that's WHY the politically motivated leftist Race Card play no longer works for the Dem Party like it used to . . . before the political Left endlessly used it for everything under the sun and made it essentially meaningless by saying the equivalent of "But it is NEVER racist when a leftist does it!" Sweet.

    Let's pretend Trump is a racist. Is that a high crime and misdemeanor? Why are Dems saying he must be impeached for racism? Even if it was true, it doesn't seem to reach the bar for impeachment.

    It is hilarious. Presidents have made similar absurd errors but, being Trump, it's not unlikely that it sounded perfectly sound to him.

    The Russian agent part could be true. But that would be Putin's plan. Trump doesn't have the brains to either participate in the planning, or even to execute it. He's like a stupid pawn.

    I know you oppose impeachment, but I think it will happen. Only not just yet. I think Pelosi is delaying it because, if they do it now, it will be for the Mueller Report alone. Which is quite a lot, but nothing compared to what may be coming down the pipe. There are many subpoenas that are being fought in courts which Democrats are sure to win. And I think the decisions will start pouring in in the next couple of months. And then we'll have bank records, tax records, court ordered testimonies, .... not everything, but a lot.. And that's what's going to trigger the real impeachment.

    I hope it's not too late. If they wait until next year, McConnell is going to say "this is election year, let's leave it for the voters to decide" So it has to be this year. But I think Pelosi has a deadline. If enough information comes in by, say.... the end of next month probably... but no later than the end of September.... there will be impeachment. After September, unlikely...

    We'll see.

    Of course there is such a thing.

    I clearly said race and ethnicity are two different things which they are.

    To say that they are two different things means both exist like I have pointed out before logic has never been your strong suit.

    You can remind them of the definition or racism until you are blue in the face, it will be in vain. They appropriated the word for a political weapon, with not a single care that they are devaluing the actual thing by constantly crying wolf.
