    Hopefully the net result of this kerfuffle will be far fewer "voters" will cross our borders which by the way if they were republican "voters" this discussion would be turned 180°.
    BTW Apacherat. This forum needs a "love" button. Great job.

    I was unaware that Vice News was right wing.

    "Vice News" is a liberal news website and news program that airs on the liberal Home Box Office.

    True. I can say categorically that He NEVER said it anywhere near anyone who would object, like the oblivious trump.

    OTOH, Obama's character and values are demonstrable such that using that kind of reference would never occur to him. Are you aware of the fact that character and values filter what comes out of your mouth whether good and BAD?

    So? A working BI PARTISAN meeting to specifically discuss a proposed bill on immigration policy is not "private" as in confidential.

    Trump being the great negotiator he is, blurts out his bigoted perspective repeatedly and you don't think some people might be OFFENDED by his tone and the tenor of the epithets?

    WTF? I don't see anything in the first amendment that says that the free press should protect the president from himself. His very own idiocy has created an INTERNATIONAL incident. When will this incompetent clown ever take responsiblity for his gross self inflicted screw ups? When will his supporters finally get the message the man's a menace to himself AND the nation.

    Use your head man. Things that are said in small meetings should be kept private. Durbin is the shithole. Hopefully Trump will eniminate any democrats from future meetings.

    I do use my head. Durbin is thepresidents political opposition. YOu know a democrat. the ones donald has blamed for woes of the world and the terrible mess he inherited. It was a bipartisan meeting about the immigration plan and in that context decides trump decides to use ridiculously idiotic language in the office of the president. THAT steps over the bounds of presidential propriety, so why do you think that Durbin is a shithole for stepping over your artificial boundary and the very real boundry trump took a flamethrower to?

    Yeah cause democrats can punch back. Jawohl. no more democrats. just leave it to trump. I'm am laughing to myself at the absurdity of that last remark.

    First of all, you heard nothing. Fortunately when Obama cursed, we have some video. If this hurts US relations, the best thing from the Media was to not hurt them. Things get said all the time in closed meetings.

    A friend of mine went for a couple of months in a country along the former African slave coast - Benin. Benin was, by African standards, a great warrior nation, that ended up being a primary source for captured enemies sold as slaves in the past.

    She told me that in spite of being quite poor by our standards, the people out there were happy, with firm familly and community values and a relaxed life beat. Heart diseases and stress medication are rarities out there, and people's faces are crossed with lines of laughter as they get old. There's music everywhere.

    I guess we have different views of what utopia is. Our lifestyle, as fast and shiny as it may seem, also comes with a price.

    It's only true to weak little racist shitholes who pretend it's true so they can further pretend they're not weak little racist shitholes.

    Your whole point here is really all that needs to be said. It was behind closed doors and not intended for public consumption. But the creeps in the room all ran out the door "mommy, mommy, donny said a bad word!"

    But it is your OP what this thread is really about. Trump said sh-thole one time in a closed door meeting. But CNN said it 36 times on national TV. That is so "no class" it's unbelievable. And hypocritical. As if "sh-t show" is the worst thing obama ever said in a meeting that would have raised the roof if it were trump. And Jesse Jackson got off pretty easily by his leftist media backers when he was caught on mic saying about obama "I'd like to cut his n-ts off."

    Not even Kim Jong-un insults other countries, their leaders and their people the way Trump does. He is a blight on America. A very odious person. And extremely incompetent.

    Trump spoke in a professional situation, not a private one. It was not sitting around the kitchen table with family and friends. When I am in a staff meeting, I am expected to behave professionally. That is the very least we should expect from the president of the United States.

    The truth about Trump needs to be known. Durbin did the right thing for our country.

    Then for them to want to come here to our s%^&hole should never ever be a problem. So why did this even come up in discussion?

    No.....Durbin has a habit of enhancing and spreading information beyond where it needs to go. How long ago was it he spread the idea our American soldiers were worse than Ghingas Kahn? He had to apologize for that one. The media is definitely in his camp on this one.

    Well, when you're the President of the United States, some expectation that adults are in the room is not unreasonable.

    Obviously, the President needs to keep in mind, that is not always the case. Certainly Durbin proved his level of maturity and sense of duty to the country.

    Durbin is a professional politician - a liar.

    Durbin proved he was a child, and threw out duty to country, by putting his agenda ahead of anything else. He is a pathetic fool who doesn't deserve the respect of anyone.

    This wasn't a staff meeting, so don't think you made any kind of comparison. This was a meeting attempting to negotiate a solution to a difficult issue. If people can't speak their mind, deal with emotions, and wade through ego's and ideas, nothing gets solved.

    Clearly there are some people who don't have a clue how such things are done, nor how they take place.

    Just to show that one's paradise may be another's shithole. Maybe in fact these people did got their act together - they just refused to mime your society, and they may even have excellent reasons not to do so.

    Haiti and every other nation with cholera is by definition a **** hole.
    So, what is Washington DC's excuse for being so full of it?

    Durbin put Durbin ahead of country. Being the POS that he is, it's apparent, according to reports, that his little presser, where he confirmed his self centered actions, wasn't accurate either.

    Seems to me, future meetings with Durbin present will need to conducted in a way that acknowledges a child is present, and conversations need to be conducted accordingly.

    Duty to country is just what he did! Exposing the caliber and character of the man who pretends to lead this country is an extremely patriotic thing to do. The unpatriotic people are the Republicans who are trying to hide what he really is and trying to pretend the damage he is doing to this country isn't happening.

    Yeah, you don't have a clue. He is to act presidential ALL the time in any professional setting. Period.

    Duty to Durbin is what Durbin said. And apparently when he went out to further stroke his ego in front of the camera's, couldn't tell the truth.

    As it is, his self centered actions have brought about a lot of reactions that were totally unnecessary.

    But that is the objective for things like Durbin and fellow members of his kind. While pursuing their objective, it doesn't matter how they might harm the Nation, it's all about them.

    What a lovely way to conduct the people's business.
