This would be a good time to hear again how minorities vote overwhelmingly for Democrats because of welfare and not because of what Republican say and think about them.

Funny - the bride and I lived in Germany for three years and we are not allowed to give blood either.

Lots of places have sh1tholes, some totally are sh!tholes, still not proper for the Pres to declare it the way he did. And minor surprise for people jumping on his sheit about it.. Don't let a good opportunity go to waste.

Simply there are good and bad people in all places, good or sheithole.

I'm not sure how saying this in a closed meeting with a handful of Senators is the same as "declaring" something to the world. I am sure every president we have ever had has said something similar to this, but it never made the news, but, since Trump has a CNN news crew living in his colon, every single time he passes gas, it makes the news.

What did George Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney say that was mean about minorities? They said derogatory things about minorities, and that's why they didn't do well with minorities? That's an interesting take on history.

It's also worth noting that multiple senators who were in that room, are denying that Trump said sh*thole.

Are they any less honest than the ones saying he said it?

It's weird it's not on tape or on official notes taken during the meeting.

Even if they produced video of it now of him not saying it, the media has already gotten what they wanted out of it.

I wonder if JFK ever referred to Cuba as a sh!thole.... Perhaps he would have phrased it more like "Those dirt eating Commie sons a beeches"

Why are the ones who claimed he said it, more credible? Tom cotton is a republican, yes, but he’s not an attack dog, he’s not a jerk, he’s not known as a party hack like Harry Reid would be considered. Trump may well have said it, it’s not beyond him. But we don’t know. What we do know is that many on the left are deranged with a fixation to demonize him. This may be an example of they. Or maybe he said it and his defenders are lying. We don’t know.

Tom cotton. Cum Laude graduate of Harvard law school and an army combat veteran. Not yet known to be a party hack.

Now, I answered your question, yes? Would you extend me the same courtesy? Please tell me why my comments were absurd, when I claimed that a huge increase in the supply of unskilled labor, especially illegals who will work for less than minimum wage, keeps wages suppressed for Americans who are low skilled and competing for the same jobs.

If you spent less time reading Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, and a bit more time reading Economics 101, you’d know that the basic principles of supply and demand, suggest I am correct.
