The Donald Trump Score Card

Yeah, the billionaire born into privilege and subsidized by his rich dad seems like one of the boys because he's ignorant and crude like his base. When the "great unwashed" use the term "elitist" , they have in mind some college professor who probably makes a lot less than they do in terms of income but is educated.

Trump is trying to make Ilhan Omar (or anyone else he thinks might be suitable) the new 'Hillary' for his 2020 campaign. The crowd at his rally in North Carolina started chanting 'Send Her Back' instead of the old worn-out Hillary slogan 'Lock Her Up'.

Trump claims that he didn't want this to happen.

Trump is also having difficulty grappling with the name Ocasio-Cortez, referring to her only as Cortez.

Trump seeks to disavow 'send her back' chant at his rally

 

Yes, It appears that "Send her back" has taken the place of "Lock her up" in the Troglodytes for Trump playbook. Trump himself said he wasn't pleased by the chant at his North Carolina rally but he didn't stop it and, in effect, started it by targeting the ladies in his tweets and his demonizing comments about Omar at the rally. Is the behavior of Trump and his MAGA followers consistent with American values? Trump seemed to be suggesting that brown-dinned women of non-European descent somehow don't belong here. Seth Meyers commented, "if we're asking these women to fix their totally broken , crime infested home country, they're trying."

Defenders of Trump's remarks seem to be saying we have him all wrong. He wasn't telling these women, all citizens of the U.S. and three of them born here, to go back to the country their ancestors came from. He was only suggesting, in his typically un-artful way, "Amurka, love it or leave it!" Oh. That makes it okay. I've been told that the "Love it or leave it" slogan, also used by the Brazilian military dictatorship, was popular with right wingers during the Vietnam War, to suggest that criticism of the War, which most informed folks today think was stupid, costly, and harmful to our national interests, was unpatriotic and "un-American". That attitude seems itself kinda unpatriotic and un-American. As a Native American sometimes critical of my country's policies, I haven't had anybody tell me yet to go back to where I came from, which I'd take to mean the land east of the Mississippi the U.S. government kicked me out of so white illegal immigrants from Europe could take it over. If they (more accurately, their descendants) gave it back and went back to where they came from, I might be willing to oblige. This is my country, and what I like most about it is its Constitution and Bill of Rights, protecting our right to criticize the government.

 

It's the Trump approach. Test the waters by conjuring a racist-flavored stink about a person or incident days in advance of one of his events, prime the crowd at the rally about it, and review the response.

If the general public and some fo the members of his own party are offended by it, he later denies he liked the crowd response, even though it was what he wanted.

 

FBI believed Trump was closely involved in hush-money scheme, unsealed documents show

FBI believed Trump was closely involved in hush-money scheme, unsealed documents show

excerpt:

"The New York probe has long been viewed as potentially perilous for Trump and his associates. The judge's disclosure is the clearest indication yet that federal investigators have concluded their investigation of possible campaign finance crimes involving Cohen and likely any of Trump's other business associates or family members."

 

Ytump is just a asskhole!! no class All he does is insult people and stir up lot of hate..He lies his ass off. Yet some meny love him and beleave him???I just can t understand how fucked up people can be...To love him????

 

The squad are miserable ingrates. They think they can spout their venom and then retreat behind their skin color. Sorry ladies, that’s not how it’s gonna go.

 

To think this country has come to this.....many of us believe hate has no place in America, or anywhere else for that matter. How can the wonderful message of hope, peace, and brotherhood that the hippies and flower children embraced be so discarded. I grew up in the 60’s and really believed a better day lay ahead but it’s apparent that many of my generation didn’t grow up, they grew down.
I thought Spiro Agnew and the”silent majority were an aberration, but it’s dejevu and sane ? people are celebrating corruption, racism, and grossly insane conspiracies.

 

They would have better luck if the money destined for the war industry was instead spent on urban areas.

I remember those days very well. It was the days of god, guts, and John Wayne.
What trump, and his supporters don't understand is that criticizing the government is one of the basic tenets of democracy.
Hey Okie, I am part Cherokee.
I once saw the late Charlie Hill( a Native American comedian) on the Johny Carson show.
Hill was telling about the time some white guy told him to go back to where he came from. So he did, he put up a teepee on the guys front yard.

 

Trump is making America Hate Again.

 

Bingo

 

Can you clarify that? I don't see them as miserable. I would say all of Trump's buddies who are currently in prison, jail, or court rooms are miserable. Don't you agree?

 

We are the people who made the Civil Rights Act a reality. How's that for a reality show!

 

Trump initially stated that he didn't know about the payments Then he said he knew about them but that it was 'later'. After that, he claimed that the payments were 'private transactions', as if that somehow precludes them from being potentially criminal.



Records detail frenetic effort to bury stories about Trump

Records detail frenetic effort to bury stories about Trump

excerpt:

Cohen in February also told Congress that a Trump Organization executive, Allen Weisselberg, and Trump’s son Donald Jr. were involved in reimbursing him for one of the hush money payments.

Federal prosecutors entered into a non-prosecution agreement with AMI in exchange for the cooperation of its top executives.

“The conclusion of the investigation exonerating The Trump Organization’s role should be of great concern to the American people and investigated by Congress and The Department of Justice,” Cohen said in a statement Thursday.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the unsealed documents “demonstrate that Donald Trump was intimately involved in devising and executing a corrupt scheme” to cover up an affair.

“The inescapable conclusion from all of the public materials available now is that there was ample evidence to charge Donald Trump with the same criminal election law violations for which Michael Cohen pled guilty and is now serving time in prison,” Schiff said.

 

The Rachel Maddow show has been following that issue closely on MSNBC.

 

Nudist and Mustard

Can either of you actually explain why you think what they ‘sprout’ is venom?

 

Maybe they think Omar and AOC are venomously dangerous to their white supremacist republican agenda?

 

No. You know they cant explain lol

 

Well, at least they are not inbreds. I am curious to what this venom is that you speak of?
