Just another lovely Trump supporter and I am sure it has nothing to do with his rhetoric.

Perfect example of party unity here. Two guys,we will call them Paul and Pete. They have an agenda to make the president look bad at any cost. They don't care if one posts the worst person acting like a fool because they don't read anything already posted. Look away Dixieland.

pretty sure that is 60+ years of being an a-hole you are witnessing there. Makes more sense to blame George Wallace for that than Trump

Article says she mentioned Trump and pretty much parroted him word for word.

If you don't think Trump hasn't used bigotry, hatred and racial animosity to rile his base with lies I don't know what rock you've been hiding under. That some just write it off as nothing is shameful.

As I said - nothing to add except criticizing other people's posts. I'm sure John will give you grandmother moderator status here if you want.

Again, 325,000,000 and this is one a-hole. She is not representative as you would like everybody to believe. She was 60 years in the making, that did not happen overnight.

Did I say that, no

but when you throw out 1 video and go "See, See I told you this is Trumps America" that is pretty shameless as well.

Thought it was stupid when people threw out that video of the black woman saying that Obama is going to give us all free stuff and tried to pass that off as representative of Obama's base....this is no different.

Even as the court upheld the ban, chief justice John Roberts criticised Trump, and emphasised the importance of the principle of religious non-discrimination in US history.

“The president of the United States possesses an extraordinary power to speak to his fellow citizens and on their behalf,” Roberts wrote. “Our presidents have frequently used that power to espouse the principles of religious freedom and tolerance on which this nation was founded.”

Roberts pointed out that George W Bush defended “the true faith of Islam” after the September 11 attacks and said America is “a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth”.

“Yet it cannot be denied,” Roberts wrote, “that the federal government and the presidents who have carried its laws into effect have – from the nation’s earliest days – performed unevenly in living up to those inspiring words.”
What’s happening in this country is not good.
Talking about the issues is one thing, calling people names and using alternative facts is quite different

What did the travel ban have to do with this discussion?

I see these videos, the thousands at campaign rallies screaming with rage at Trump saying basically the same thing, the increasing confidence of white supremacists etc... etc...

I'm going to take a little liberty with some Hyperbole.

But say you witnessed a 100,000 people frothing at the mouth at his rallies, that number would only represent .03% of the population. (325,700,000)

That same number would only be .16% of the people who voted for him (62,980,160)

But yet, people have no problem posting up videos of a few of people on YouTube being ignorant A-holes and saying this is Trumps America.

Its Shameful and Irresponsible.

I don't think she is representative of all of his voters (although a higher % of the people who attend his rallies as they do seem very angry) but how much time has been spent here on Samantha Bee, Hillary's deplorable statement (even though she apologized, Obama's clingers or gotta stop hating statement, or when someone posts a video of a Dem. who is disenchanted?

I think you're ignoring the fact that her words are pretty much exactly what Trump has said at his rallies. MAGA.

Not ignoring anything, most people are in agreement that he's not got a lot going in the Morals department.

The point is, these types of folks have been around for years, and they will, sadly, be around for years to come. Whoever the sitting president is, they don't create these people.

Now Maxine Waters has a couple under her belt, are the same people that are disgusted with Trump, disgusted with her as well? Or Do 2 wrongs make a right?

I don't know exactly what she said but I have an idea - it was stupid. Dem. leadership is calling her out for it.

She's not President.
Sorry but I think there might be a higher standard.
Just like I think we should have a higher standard to be one of a hundred Senators than one of 435 representatives all representing the 325 million people who live in the USA.
