Newscasters do their best to respond to Trump’s shithole comments. It didn't go well.

    Mueller is known as an overzealous prosecutor and has lost many cases because of it.

    Beyond that he has caused the nation harm before just as now.


    "Comey and Mueller badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled. They botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington’s mail system, solidified the Bush administration’s antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure.

    This, too, was an enormously complex case. But here are some facts: Despite the jihadist slogans accompanying the mailed anthrax, it had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein or any foreign element; the FBI ignored a 2002 tip from a scientific colleague of the actual anthrax killer, who turned out to be a Fort Detrick scientist named Bruce Edwards Ivins; the reason is that they had quickly obsessed on an innocent man named Steven Hatfill; the bureau was bullied into focusing on the government scientist by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy (whose office, along with that of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, was targeted by an anthrax-laced letter) and was duped into focusing on Hatfill by two sources — a conspiracy-minded college professor with a political agenda who’d never met Hatfill and by Nicholas Kristof, who put her conspiracy theories in the paper while mocking the FBI for not arresting Hatfill.

    In truth, Hatfill was an implausible suspect from the outset. He was a virologist who never handled anthrax, which is a bacterium. (Ivins, by contrast, shared ownership of anthrax patents, was diagnosed as having paranoid personality disorder, and had a habit of stalking and threatening people with anonymous letters — including the woman who provided the long-ignored tip to the FBI).

    So what evidence did the FBI have against Hatfill? There was none, so the agency did a Hail Mary, importing two bloodhounds from California whose handlers claimed could sniff the scent of the killer on the anthrax-tainted letters. These dogs were shown to Hatfill, who promptly petted them. When the dogs responded favorably, their handlers told the FBI that they’d “alerted” on Hatfill and that he must be the killer".

    The GOP has most to lose from this because they have demonstrated total gutlessness by staying silent.

    Firstly, by not defending Trump the GOP are in fact demonstrating that Trump did call certain counties shitholes.

    Secondly, by not speaking out against the comment they are demonstrating their lack of morals and professionalism.

    The GOP has been caught static and flat-footed in a dynamic environment.

    The GOP has demonstrated that they are incapable of independent thought and are mere stooges of Trump.

    hardly, be is known as being a republican that is very bi-partisan and the right wanted someone partisan

    the right wanted someone to come in and just do a mock investigation and declare trump did nothing wrong.... they are not happy he is doing a real investigation and following the facts wherever they lead

    at least wait until the investigation is over before complaining, you don't even know the results yet, or anything about it, when Mueller releases the facts found, we can debate them, attacking him before that is meaningless

    Yes because for some unknown reason Dick Durbin went out and screamed it to the world after a private meeting.

    Why did he see a need to do so when by his own admission he believed it harmed us to the est of the world and of course did not advance the efforts to solve DACA or immigration and in fact probably made it less a chance now that the Democrats cannot be trusted in private meetings and negotiations?

    He didn't HAVE to go out and violate that trust ans confidentiality you know.

    I think the time has come. We need to change ICE to NSPC (The National Shithole Prevention Center) and make Sheriff Arpaio Czar. :banana:

    So you agree instead of trying to work to resolve these issues the democrats would rather engage in political grandstanding even if it means according to them it harms us internationally.

    But do explain how his doing what he did "prevents future harm" what about the present day harm Durbin has caused?

    Red Handed:

    Investigative journalist James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released a shocking report on how Twitter Corporation shadow bans conservative voices on the social media platform.

    Twitter filed 869 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 241 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2014 to 2016.

    In total Twitter applied filed applications for 1,110 foreign workers.
    Twitter reportedly has 3,900 employees.

    Twitter that has institutionalized hatred against Republicans

    Project Veritas clip of Twitter engineer, Pranay Singh show his disgust for the American flag, guns and God. He also calls Trump supporters “rednecks”. He is bragging about censoring and shadowbanning people on Twitter. Let that sink in.


    [​IMG]Cristina Laila@cristinalaila1


    Foreigners working at Twitter who draw a paycheck from an American company, ban American citizens from the platform for supporting their American President.

    Let that sink in. #ShadowBan

    I agree, there is nothing that can be resolved with the shithole CIC.
    Resolution is the furthest thing from his shithole mind.
    The biggest grandstander to ever hold office. And does so in the most racist fashion.

    It prevents future harm, because TWUMP has no credibility.

    Jesus Shithole Christ... people need to chill the **** out.

    I gathered from the OPs tone that this was just a light-hearted thread more for fun than debate, and we got members here threatening to beat each other up.

    Typical Saturday morning in America, I guess.
