The Guardian: May condemns Trump's racist remarks about four congresswomen

PM says comments are ‘completely unacceptable’, putting pressure on Boris Johnson to follow suit

Theresa May has criticised Donald Trump’s “completely unacceptable” language towards four Democratic congresswomen, which has been condemned as racist, putting pressure on her likely successor, Boris Johnson, to speak out as well.

May took the unusual step of commenting on US domestic politics after Trump made reference to the outspoken women, only one of whom is foreign-born, saying on Twitter that they should “go back and help fix” their “broken and crime-infested” countries.

I have an uncle from East German, who is not a blood relation. His wife and him were sponsored to come to America. He complained about how bad America was. His sponsor told him that "If America was that bad then go back". My uncle went back to Europe. Within a year he was back in the good ole USA. If you can say it to a white male, you can say it to a black female. I hope liberals a dumb enough to keep on going after Trump for his remarks on Omar. They will lose the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

Just keeps getting better. Anything that raises the profile of these four cretins will only further solidify their prominence as the face of the Dem party.

LOL - now there are reports of Pelosi wanting a full House censure of Trump over his remarks.

Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He's just solidified those 4 as the new Democratic party, thus forcing moderates off the fence and the left is playing right into it. Next, Trump will highlight how the woman in pajamas married her brother and in doing so, committed immigration fraud.#MAGA

--- Graham declines to condemn racist Trump tweets and calls Democratic congresswomen 'a bunch of communists'
---AOC: "It's important to note that the President’s words yesterday, telling four American Congresswomen of color 'go back to your own country,' is hallmark language of white supremacists. Trump feels comfortable leading the GOP into outright racism, and that should concern all Americans."

---Trump's Obama birtherism meant: "Go back to Africa." // Now Trump is telling members of Congress, three born in the US, one a US citizen for 19 years, to "go back" to the countries they come from. "Shithole countries." // No Republican in Congress objects to Trump's open racism. Not one.

---Trump tells four US Congresswomen to go back to the shithole countries they come from. Three of them come from the US. The fourth moved here 27 years ago, became a US citizen 19 years ago. Not one Republican in Congress has objected to this hateful un-American speech. You Fucking. Gutless. Cowards.

Don't worry Fred, Kasich, Romney, Ryan and the rest of the RINO mob will chime in soon enough and dig the hole deeper.

I put aside this issue. My real concern is climate change and what it will mean for my country and the world...Is climate change real? google the issue and Pentagon and see what they think on this coming national security threat

Trumps immigrant mother did not call the US endlessly bellyache about America. Ilhan Omar does

That is the difference.

I do not expect an illogical, senile codger to kn ow the difference. Heck, codger would not have known the difference when he was 60 years younger.

That is the definition. Really?

"It’s believed that the acronym RINO was first used in print in 1992 by political journalist John DiStaso for the New Hampshire Union Leader."

"RINO caught on in the 1990s. Punning on the acronym in 1993, Republicans critical of their leadership wore buttons depicting a rhinoceros (a rhino) with a red slash across it."

It appears Fred missed the 1990s. Clueless dude probably missed the 60s and 70s, too.

RINO = completely aligned with the neoliberal establishment while speaking in a fake southern accent

Trudeau needs to virtue signal on this since it's his only play, but he can't piss off Trump from one side of his mouth while begging him to fix Canada's bad relations with China out of the other. Must be tough being a PR-created politician.

Theresa May doesn't matter, she'll be gone by my next oil change. Expect her to spend the rest of her farewell tour grandstanding on a lot of issues that she never would have touched as a politician with a future.

For a far more nuanced dissection of Trump's remarks and devoid of foaming at the mouth, try this out

https://althouse.blogspot.com/2019/07/lets-look-at-trumps-now-infamous.html

Here is a taste, "Is it xenophobia? He's not saying get out and stay out. He's saying don't criticize the United States if you immigrated from a worse country. Go back to that place, fix it, and "The come back and show us... how it is done." He's welcoming the immigrant back, after these steps are taken. "

Prime Minister May is a disaster. She is looking for some slight ray of hope, so she won't walk out in a cloud.

Trudeau was told by Xi to shut up and sit down at the children's table where Canada belongs.

So if those two say anything it can be safely disregarded.

Trump skillfully became match maker for the Dems. The Squad was feuding with the House Dem leadership so he stepped in and brought them together. How nice.
Now the House Dems can rally around some of the most deceitful, dishonest and racist people of color on Capitol Hill. Sure to be a pleasing portrait to swing voters.

Ilhan Omar is actually pretty, but she is ugly as Hell.

Ayanna Pressley is the next best looking. Again she is pretty but ugly as Hell.

AOC was the best looking at 20 (15-25), but her bone structure is such that 35 on up she might be hard looking. She is also stupid on top of being ugly.

Tlaib is in a race with Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.

There Freddy goes with his of topic anti-Trump mini-lists.

"Trump's “safe third country” asylum ban is illegal "

Fredster, the frother, purposefully ignores "the concept of first country of asylum".

If the illegal aliens do not have to stop as the first country then, why stop in the USA. Hell the can keep on trucking and go to Canada with its free and better healthcare.

Anonymous said...

The European Court of Justice (ECJ), supreme court for the European Union (EU), has ruled that would-be migrants must seek asylum in the first country they reach.

If it is sauce for the goose, why not is it sauce for the gander?

Maybe because the Democrat despotic leaders realize they need new voters due to JEXIT.

There will be one who never JEXITS, which is not surprising. They never had brains anyway.
