Biden is abrasive and offensive and a human gaffe machine, and as of right now ( not much longer) he’s leading the pills
among democrats. so what’s the evidence that democrats truly don’t like
people who say offensive things and who speak stupidly too often? the party of biden has little
standing to pretend to be offended when Trump says things that are stupid, offensive, vulgar.

Trump supporters love Trump

he's not politician

he speaks his mind

hes a alpha male

they love him

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.),

lets throw Megan Rapinoe for colored hair and liking pussy ..

these women do what they were elected to do by the people in there districts (just like Tump) but the right attacks them for pushing back against Trump .. for attacking the dear leader, in the same manner trump attacks others ...

strike one against them in a conservatives mind They are women

Strike 2 they aren't white women ( the one who is a lesbian more outrage ) and 2 are muslim.. (can you imagine we come to this as a country (muslim's in office the right felt the same way with drinking from the same water fountain )

Strike 3 their insolence is outrageous how dare the speak against the POTUS or things that are happening in the country or Israel

Now Trump demands they apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said,”

Amazing truly amazing words spoke as if he has never cast a stone against anyone

Comments from Trump Country, The Charlotte Observer

Are you OK with a racist president, Republicans?
BY THE EDITORIAL BOARD
JULY 15, 2019 10:14 AM, UPDATED 34 MINUTES AGO

We’re not big believers in public officials being responsible for all the bad things other public officials say or do. It’s become a too-common political weapon to ask lawmakers to condemn members of their own party, even for behavior that’s not representative of anything more than one person’s poor decision. But sometimes that behavior is so troubling that our leaders need to stand up and say something.

So it was Sunday when President Donald Trump tweeted a bigoted attack on four Democratic Congresswomen of color, telling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” This despite three of the four women being born in the United States, and the other, Omar, being a U.S. citizen.

“Go back where you came from” is among the worst of racist tropes. It divides us by ethnicity and skin color. It says that even if someone is a citizen or legal immigrant, they are not part of the rest of us. That runs contrary to who we should be as Americans, and if Donald Trump didn’t know it when he typed the words, he surely did later when people responded with appropriate outrage. But the same president who referred to African and Haitian nations as “#^&#^&#^&#^&hole countries” and said African visitors would never “go back to their huts” once again doubled down on his racism.

It’s dangerous, destructive behavior, and at the least every Republican lawmaker in Congress should declare as much about their president’s outburst. That includes North Carolina’s most senior leaders, Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis. We know this isn’t easy politically, especially for Tillis, who is running for reelection and faces a Republican primary challenger in a race to see who can embrace the president more fully. Tillis, of course, has a history of comically wavering on Trump — standing up then backing down on issues that include the Mueller investigation and the president’s declaration of a national emergency at the southern border.

North Carolina’s lawmakers, however, are far from the only Republicans to struggle with Trump’s troubling tendencies. A handful have dared to step forward and criticize the president, only to equivocate when everyone else takes a step back. Most have instead decided that any criticism of Trump — be it for policy or problematic behavior — is not worth the heat that follows.

The result is that the Republican Party is firmly Donald Trump’s party now. It’s the party where insults and other ugliness are just being “rough around the edges.” It’s the party where locking legal migrants in crowded, unhealthy cages is acceptable immigration policy. It’s the party where it’s OK to say racist things so long as the next jobs report is encouraging.

If you don’t believe it, listen to the meekness today from Republicans, including those who represent our state. Instead of standing up for who we should be, they’re bowing to the worst of who we are.

i’m fairly certain that the gop opposition to those 4 has little to do with race, and everything to do with the nutty policies they endorse - open borders, comparing ICE to Nazis, green new deal, single payer healthcare, reparations, elimination of student loan debt, etc... its very easy to dismiss the gop if you try to paint them as racists. it’s a lot harder to debate their policies, which is exactly why your side ignores their policies and calls them
racists instead.

i’ll ask again. is it racist to say that Somalia is a dysfunctional country with a crime problem?

it’s very relevant, trump said that their home countries were broken and crime infested, and people are saying that comment was racist. the only one not born here, is from somalia.

Three of them are native born Americans. Are you agreeing with Trump saying America is a country whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world?

i’m not defending trump. i’ll go very slowly here, please try to follow the bouncing ball.

i asked if its racist to say that somalia is a dysfunctional country. ( answer- it’s not racist, because it is in fact a terrible place).

you said that question isn’t relevant.

i said it is relevant because it’s a part of his tweet that he’s getting slammed for.

now you say i’m defending him.

it was a stupid offensive tweet. but not racist.

and the more i think about it, the less of a problem i have, with telling 4 hens who clearly hate everything this country was founded upon, to get lost if they hate it that much. he shouldn’t have said go back where you came from, but if he said “you obviously hate everything the country is and stands for, so i have good news for you, you are free to leave”, id have been ok with that.

AOC is too stupid to be dangerous, she’s a harmless punchline, who i believe is actually doing more good for the GOP than could be done by any republican who could
ever win that district.

Omar is a very different animal. a reporter asked her if she would
condemn the antifa terrorist attack at an ICE facility he tried to incinerate, and she refused to condemn it, and i’m not making that up. that one is a manchurian candidate who loathes the country that took her in. she is scary. when you can’t condemn an obvious act of domestic terrorism, you have no business being in congress.

i’ll give you $100
in cash if you can post anything i’ve ever said, that would
make anyone with an IQ of 50 or
higher, think that i feel that way. or
kindly admit you made it up. I’m serious, $100 in cash for
any evidence to support that bullsh*t claim you just made. i condemned what trump said, are you so slow and dim that you missed the 5 times
that i said it was an offensive tweet?

if anything, immigrants who come
here legally and become citizens, are better citizens, because unlike many of us, they don’t take the beauty and opportunity of this place for granted. they work hard, do the right things, and view education as a gift from god, many of them send their kids, first generation born here, to college. that’s the stereotype of the legal immigrant. that’s the ideal, classic, stereotypical immigrant, someone who grabs the opportunities we offer with both hands.

is that clear enough for you? or are you still a bit fuzzy?
