You see, this is another example of liberals trying too hard. The word racist has been watered down so much that it has practically lost its meaning. I would ask you and the idiot who posted the tweet to explain to me how that comment, stupid as it is, is racist. But you can't, so I won't bother. Just more feelings.
You know what he said was wrong. Any decent person can see that. How do you not just call it out? As far as how it was racist, look at the people in Congress he targets the hardest, do you not see a pattern?
I am not a big for of Omar's either but you don't see how telling woman of color who is an American citizen to go back to her country I don't think we are the problem.
Serious question. Why would conservatives give an inch on any topic with liberals like we have here on this board? It’s been made abundantly clear over the prior four years you all won’t reciprocate.
That’s another reason why I’m pumped for Trump to ram this SCJ nomination through. I hope they keep the hearings short and push her through prior to the election. Plus, it’s going to be interesting to watch the Dems tear down a successful, working Christian mother of seven. Only gonna help Trump.
She's from Somalia and thinks that the way the country that she left as a refugee is governed is better than the way America is. So in context, no it wasn't wrong. Necessary? No. For the simple reason that we see here in how people will twist it somehow into racism, he shouldn't have said it. But you and your ilk want conservatives to call him out for making that statement won't take the time to call Omar out on her own antisemitism and racism. She doesn't want to defund the police, she wants to completely dismantle the police, remember?
Look at the people he targets the most in congress? Lol. Yeah, I see a pattern. He trashes all of the people who trashes him, equally. Childish? Yes. Racist? No. Give me a break man. Crying Chuck, crazy Nancy, dang nang dick. Ect... All racist. It's ridiculous. Again, your TDS is just as ignorant as the Trump can do no wrong crowd.
I never said I agree with Omar. In fact, I probably disagree with her more than I agree. He still should not have said that.
You never commented on his genes/racehorse theory comments, are those not racist either?
He rhetorically asked a woman who happens to be "of color" how she would do where she came from. It was an unnecessary comment that he shouldn't have made because it brings nothing positive to the table. But it was not racist for shit's sake. Nothing is racist if everything is racist.
The genes comment, I don’t know where he was going with that. It will be interpreted any way to fit a narrative, but I doubt he meant "white" genes. Did he bring up racehorse theory, or os that another manipulation of his words?
Since he was in Minnesota, and his family immigrated from Germany, I think it was fairly obvious what he was trying to say. Watch for yourself, I’m not bending it. It’s the second video down.
I love the idea of stopping the radical indoctrination of students and getting back to more traditional, patriotic education.
I'm hesitant to get into the back and forth all of you have going, but I'd like to answer the, "how is this racist?" question.
Trump, a white guy who leads a country founded and historically dominated by white people, telling a space full of white people (94 percent of Moonship Township's population is white), that a brown immigrant who arrived in the United States as a 12 year-old immigrant and has been a United States citizen for the past 20 years shouldn't tell "us" how to run "our" country. The implication, based on the statement itself as well as in the context of how he has spoken about other non-whites in the past, is that Omar is not really an American. It is very hard not to hear the statement, attach some precedent to it and not hear the racism.
Trump statements in the past about the four democratic congresswomen show he either feels a certain way about non-whites or, at the very least, understands his base does. The first time he told them to go back to their own countries he specifically said all four, but a couple days later amended it to three where it has since stayed. I can only assume that someone he listens to actually told him there was no way to tell a Black woman from Ohio named Pressley to go back to her own country without sounding racist.
Finally, I don't know that Trump doesn't feel the same about white immigrants as he does about non-whites. I just know I don't hear him openly express it.
You sat out all this time and you come back to cry #orangemanbad?
Yeah, you might want to keep sitting out.
Anyone who doesn’t get it is either A) willfully ignorant, or B) dumb. That’s it. End of story. It’s like when he was ranting about poor people invading the suburbs, with Cory Booker leading them. Any wonder why he picked Cory Booker?
Who knows, maybe it’s just stupidity... like, a complete and absolute lack of understanding of how language, with all of it’s not-so-Subtleties, works... but man, you’ve gotta be thick as hell to not get it. Like... a real dullard.

If only sexualizing underage girls bothered you as half as much as race.
"It's not my business what aged females he likes"
Sad that you feel the need to go that far to defend him because he votes the same way you do.
Thanks for the intelligent reply. Can I ask where I said #orangemanbad? Also, what part did you actually disagree with?
@Crest is Garbage has more posts about Trump this month than every single post of his combined between 2010 and 2019.
😂

I think you misread my post. "Reeeeee?" is not an actual word, and I find it easier to get across a point when I use real words.
Like I said, it is going to be interpreted however by whoever in order to fit a narrative. I seriously doubt it was a white thing. But, he didn't do himself any favors with that comment for sure.
You mistake me for someone who takes you guys that excuse TheDude's sexualization of underage girls serious.
Yeah, that wasn't me. In fact, my last post before today was saying he was out of line for using the term retard toward Ifaze.
Is it possible you fail to see the logic because, from what I gather, you will never be viewed as something other than an American by a "real" American and you will never be on the receiving end of a "go back to your own country," directive?
When you first-hand witness a child, maybe your own or a child you care about, receive those comments let me know if you still feel it is sensationalism.
Absolutely it is. By your reply I can tell you have not been and/or will not ever be affect by those types of situations. It's cool. There is nothing wrong with saying you don't care about things don't directly impact you. I'm sure there are things that impact you that I don't care about.
First of all it was not just the South that wanted the Electoral College the smaller colonies in the North would not signed on without this assurance of playing on an equal field.I can certainly argue the point that I don’t want two to three states to override the wishes of the other forty plus in national elections.This country is not a democracy but a republic
Most people aren't impacted by those types of comments. Your comment makes it sound like these types of comments are just flying around everywhere each and every day. They're not. They're few and far between.
Oh good lord, what snowflake bullshit is Hail whining about now?
It’s not hard. When you talk about brown skinned Americans as being outsiders, when you tell them to go back where they came from, when you denounce them as not even being American... FFS, when you became famous for insisting the first black President is a foreign Muslim... you are being racist, and appealing to the racism in your followers. It isn’t hard to understand, unless you’ve got an IQ under 90.

If more Americans live in those two or three states, they should have proportionally more say.
My comment does no such thing. Those comments are more common than you think.
Can we at least agree it is detrimental for the President of the United States to comments expressing the thought that the country doesn't equally belong to non-white immigrants (or in the case of Pressley and Ocasio-Cortez, non-white citizens who were born in the U.S.) as it does to white Americans who were born in the United States?
Yeah, he's really not done what you're outlining. He didn't say the country doesn't equally belong to non-white immigrants as it does to white Americans. He harps on people who aren't born in our country, coming here and taking advantage of OUR system and then continuously complaining about our country as racist and bad, when in reality it's actually not. He also harps on people who ARE born here who continuously bitch about our country. He tells them they can leave if they're unhappy.
Can you at least agree that our country isn't racist?
by the way, I see all of these kind of reasonable, rational responses to people… Are they in response to equally reasonable, rational posts?
The Americans In larger stateshave more proportional say nationally since they have more representatives in the House.The Senate and President was designed to insure that the larger states could not dominate the smaller states.If the Democrats want this type of power they must go the rest of the country and convince them they have a better plan
