Sen. Feinstein Blisters Trump Over S******* Remarks

Sen Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein 44m44 minutes ago

If the president can’t control himself and lead this country with the authority, dignity and leadership it requires, then he shouldn’t be the president. There’s no room for racism in the Oval Office.

And I guarantee you this, Trump is on tape somewhere dropping an N bomb. Racists like him have used this word just as sure as his skin is orange.

They don't care, most of them probably support these statements.

it's been on several news shows already. Problem is, "we" don't say things like that. The despicable's do.

If he really has tapes, release them. Why would he hold onto them? Publicity? Attention? This is so much bigger than that.

She just named three things tRump does not possess. She should have picked three things he does possess, like "emptyheadedness" "corpulence" and "laziness". DiFi sets the bar way too high, and it's just unfair!

...."the police acted stupidly"? Imagine if Obama had said what trump said yesterday (yes, you HAVE to imagine it, he'd never say anything like that)? There would be calls for his resignation immediately.

they STILL rake him through the coals for the

"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations"


remark at a fund-raiser, even if it was just truth to the power!

And get every Senator to vote yay or nay on it.

We need to collect names

We are one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We shouldn't countenance such blatant racism

19. House & Senate Democrats should publically introduce resolution . . .
Fri Jan 12, 2018, 04:57 PM
Jan 2018

I have called the offices of my 2 senators, Feinstein & Harris, and asked that they jointly propose a resolution that the Senate condemn SHITHOLE's remarks about African countries, Haiti, etc. Please call your Democratic Senators and reps to do that same. Realize probably Republicans (=racists) won't allow a vote like that but I think the Democrats need to take a very strong public stance about this. The guy is really, basically, a Nazi type. His comment at the end about why don't we let in more people from countries like Norway through me over the edge. I AM ASHAMED THAT THIS SHITHOLE SPEAKS FOR this country.
