Sen Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein 44m44 minutes agoIf the president cant control himself and lead this country with the authority, dignity and leadership it requires, then he shouldnt be the president. Theres no room for racism in the Oval Office.

(17,984 posts)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!

(67,782 posts)...."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.

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

(632 posts)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.
