countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all)

What a perfect description of his administration.

response from Schumer or Pelosi?

he knows he will be losing 2020 and has gone full racist in hopes of getting the crazies out to vote for him.

That's news to me. I live in Somerville MA, which is represented by Ayanna Pressley. People here think the city works rather well. Taxes are reasonable, the schools are good, and it is very easy to get into Boston. There are lots of weekend festivals here. The T (the local subway system) is getting extended through the middle of Somerville, one of the new stations will be a few yards from my house.

As for crime: we used to have the Winter Hill Gang, but that is gone now. If you don't know about the Winter Hill gang, google for Whitey Bulger - that was his gang. There was even a movie about him. The part of Somerville I live in is: Winter Hill.

An opportunity for self-reflection

it’s possible to think Donald Trump is a racist asshole and still believe that the squad’s tactics are out of line.

Since she goes to the media to criticize the Squad and speaking of the Squad Pressley has been silent.

They are mostly upset at AOC chief of staff.

take that present wife with you.

Like any country wants this loving couple to settle near normal people.

I'm sure Slovenia would welcome her input especially about being an escort and nude model.

What a joke. The only crime free rural area in this country is Mayberry reruns on TV.

He stepped over a line, and that tweet will become his signature. The one that destroyed him


A racist tweet against diversity and a hit on ladies to boot. Not just any ladies, but ladies
who are members of Congress.

This moment is it. You don't attack ladies, who are members of Congress who are also minorities. .Trump will have to apologize. (But I don't think he will). This will allow Republicans to finally attack Trump. And they will. Just wait and see.

Remember this: Trump is a person who thinks he can get away with anything.

But no one can get away with racist language against minority women in 2019. This tweet will unify those who are against this kind of racist talk. My guess is that is a very large percentage of our population ( maybe 70 percent) will be disgusted by this. Yes, 20 to 25 percent will stand behind Trump but that is not enough to save him. This is such an obvious racist attack on minority women in congress, that everyone can see the truth. Trump is a racist person who is President of the U.S.A., and needs to be removed. People will argue on this, but Trump cannot defend himself on this, "Go back to your own country remark." This is awful and just plain disgusting.

No disrespect intended, but I don't see it happening. Trump has said and done things equally as awful as this or worse, and he's still squatting in the Oval Office. I don't foresee the GOP or his base turning on him over this remark. It's just another example of how Trump, upon reaching the bottom of the barrel, breaks out the shovel and starts to dig. I think most people are just numb to his bullshit, honestly. I'd be glad to be proven wrong on this, though. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Are also fewer in number than people think.

What I said was that I'm not holding my breath for them or the GOP to turn on Trump. Nor am I holding my breath for this to be the thing that finally takes Trump down. How many times have we heard that before? Every damn time he says or does something stupid and/or reprehensible, that's how many times.

Also, tweeting stupid racist garbage isn't illegal, so there's that...

I'm embarrassed for my country.

The Outer Hebrides. An isolated island. Oh, and stay there!

Prolly not.

That's just the kind of people they are.

I don't think there's anywhere worse than that.

Confession by Trump?

3 of the 4 Congresswomen come from America.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....

....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

Conman is just following the tradition. With that said, the Republican Party is becoming the Neo-Nazi Party.

mainstream serious politician let alone the president ?
Should be apolitical death knell but it won’t be will it? Media will let it go . Congress ?
Not even an apology I am predicting .
What a shit show the WH is now

Trump slammed over attack on Democratic congresswomen

Date 15.07.2019

Democratic lawmakers have united in condemning US President Donald Trump as racist after he said that a group of progressive congresswomen should go back to the "crime infested places from which they came."
(snip)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in the lower chamber of Congress, said on Twitter that the comment "reaffirms" that Trump "has always been about making America white again."

Ocasio-Cortez said she was from the United States and swore allegiance to the country, adding that the president could not "conceive of an America that includes us."
(snip)

Omar, Pressley and Tlaib and dozens of other Democratic lawmakers, senior party figures and presidential candidates also denounced the comment as racist and xenophobic in separate tweets. Republican lawmakers remained mostly silent.

Three of Trump's apparent targets — Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Tlaib — were born and raised in the United States. Omar was born in Somalia and moved to the US when she was 12 years old.

(snip)
Tlaib responded by saying Trump “needs to be impeached”. Ocasio-Cortez said: “The country I ‘come from’, and the country we all swear to, is the United States.”

Omar called Trump “the worst, most corrupt and inept president we have ever seen”. Pressley said: “This is what racism looks like. We are what democracy looks like.”

Bernie Sanders was among others who called the attack racist. “When I call the president a racist, this is what I’m talking about,” the Vermont senator wrote on Twitter.

Justin Amash, a Michigan congressman who left the Republican party over his opposition to Trump, called the remarks “racist and disgusting”.

Unusually Theresa May, via her press secretary, managed to issue a condemnation of President Trump’s latest outrage before Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, who is normally much more ready to denounce him. But Sturgeon has now issued her own criticism on Twitter.

Nicola Sturgeon
✔ @NicolaSturgeon

The President of the United States telling elected politicians - or any other Americans for that matter - to ‘go back’ to other countries is not OK, and diplomatic politeness should not stop us saying so, loudly and clearly.

Downing Street says Trump's 'go back home' tweet to congresswomen 'completely unacceptable'

This is from the BBC’s Nick Eardley who is just back from the Downing Street lobby.

NEW: PM hits out at @realDonaldTrump tweets to US congresswomen. Official spokesman says President’s comments “completely unacceptable”.
(snip)

What’s remarkable about this is that, until now, Theresa May has been extremely reluctant to criticise Donald Trump. Perhaps her stance has shifted in response to what he had to say about her last week.
(snip)

Telling Americans they aren't real Americans based on their ethnicity; that is what is unAmerican (especially telling them to "go back" to countries where they do not originate)!

I agree: It should be based on civility, moral conscience, ability to contribute to the common good, and knowledge of American history and civics.

And the first to take the test should be Mein Trumpf, McTurtle, and Miller. Soulless miscreants and rotten to the core, they would all FAIL bigly.
