    No question. That will keep the children who might be present from telling stories afterwards, intended to make them look more important than they will ever be in life.

    Do you realize that this was a closed-door meeting without press- and that democrats broke the privacy of that meeting by going public (and thereby disclosing private conversation to the pack of hounds hungry for something to chew on) for the purpose of causing trouble?

    Everything leads to racism for neo marxists. It is how they keep their base.

    He meant he had a duty to his own ethics to do the right thing. Not a self-serving moment.

    I have a clue. Don't accuse me of not having something you apparently aren't familiar with.

    As everyone knows, President's don't act like angels all the time. The historical record has confirmed that. I guess you would be shocked to learn President's actually drop the occasional F-Bomb too.

    At least going forward, the country has learned what Durbin's sense of duty and country means to him. Obviously it takes a back seat to his own ego and self promotion.

    Well that is obviously not true. Durbin acted selfishly, and put himself above the Nation. First, he was not man enough to face the camera's immediately after this meeting. Like the coward that he is, he leaked it. Then, he went out and apparently misrepresented what happened.

    Everything about that is self serving. The man proved himself a self centered child, with no care about anything but his own self-promotion.

    IF you are trying to get something from those people you are in a different position than the case when they are trying to get something from you. They aren't co-workers- they are people of undisciplined countries that can't manage themselves well wanting access to the American pocketbook. Failing to recognize the realities only leads to making stupid mistakes.

    I believe that what was said was said in private confidence with those few in attendance. It was the idiot Democrats in attendance who repeated it to the whole world.

    It has become apparent to me, the Democrats have been dishonest from the start on the issue of immigration, etc..

    They don't appear to have any intension of resolving the issue and moving forward. Clearly, they intend to use immigration, and now this comment from the President as an issue in the coming election cycle.

    IMO, there was NEVER any intent on finding common ground. To e, Durbin's egregious self centered actions proved this to be true.

    According to reports, Durbin lied about what happened during his act before the cameras.

    Why do you think he did that?

    Right.
    But not odd that you lefties would have to go berserk over it.
    Some of us have been long onto your duplicity and hypocrisy.

    Maybe you would be better off outside of my society. The DNC....party of losers has a place for you.

    Obvious fake outrage over obvious Fake News is not very persuasive.

    “John F. Kennedy

    Eloquent at the podium, JFK could swear like a sailor (which he was, of course) away from the microphone. When word leaked that the Air Force had spent $5000 to furnish a maternity suite for Jackie Kennedy at Otis Air Force Base, the president knew the expenditure would be used as a political football. "This is obviously a ****-up," he fumed to a hapless general over the phone.”

    It's not so much the fact that he swears...it's what he is saying about other countries...and the fact that his "ire" is focused on countries populated by those with brown skin while expressing a definite preference for immigration from countries that have "paler" commplexions

    Why would you write that? I'm partisan, just like you. Was your post "non-partisan"?

    You have to be capable of understanding and interpreting what's being said to be aware of the racism trump has been spewing. Obviously many trumpeteers don't have that capability.

    Wait...that makes sense to Trumpers?

    Trump says something as repugnant as this...several times now...lies about saying it...has his cronies lie about it...and the fact that people are upset about what was said and the lies told about what was said is a fault of DEMS????

    Considering how self serving Durbin is, I'm sure there are new bottoms we all will discover with him.
