    I don't know. Why did Obama let his birth certificate stay sealed for over 3 years before he finally released it? Oh, that's right. 16 hours is a lot longer than 3 years, duh.

    The closest I can find to any reference to Durbin leaking the story is a speculation from Breitbart, but at this point, people need to start having the courage to stand by their leaks. Outrageous claims need outrageous proof, and that only begins when people are actually willing to stand by their claims.

    I wouldn't care either way, because they are shitholes. But the trouble here is the left going into a frenzy and already asking the whole world how they feel about Trump saying something he may or may not have said. Even if he did say it, they should have never made an effort to spread it across the globe. That's dangerous, ESPECIALLY if he never said it. And if it turns out that he never said it, he needs to sue every organization that ran the story and every journalist who ran it should be terminated immediately.

    Dick Durbin on live now, calling the President a liar.

    He's describing the meeting. Said so-called president used the term "Shithole" -- yes, he actually said it on air, live -- and he said Trump used the term repeatedly.

    It is not bigotry.

    Whether he said it or not is irrelevant unless you are just uptight and think no president should ever be human and speak his mind.

    The fact is he was correct about those countries being **** holes.

    I'm sorry but it sounds like your trying to shift the blame off of Trump for the words he spoke. If any other official said something like this you wouldn't be trying to do that. The ultimate responsibility for the words he speaks lies with him, not the news media for doing what they always do when a politician executes a dunce maneuver.

    Trump is the ****ing president. No other president in history that I am aware of has ever resorted to using such crass language to describe other sovereign nations. President Trump made our country some enemies with his mouth diarrhea and we gained literally nothing from it.

    This is HIS screw up. None of this would be happening if he had even an ounce of class.

    Indeed, prove it Cigar. Prove that the President used the word "shithole".

    Dubin hasn't gone on record, nobody actually present has gone on record confirming it.

    So, prove it Cigar. Good luck, I haven't been able to, but who am I?

    There we go! Let those colors shine bro.... Now it's not only racist to question a birth certificate (unless it's Ted Cruz's or some other Republican), but now it's racist to call a shithole country a shithole country. Life is grand while you guys stay triggered. Let me reiterate:


    [​IMG]
    ^^^ SHITHOLE


    [​IMG]
    ^^^ SHITHOLE

    [​IMG]
    ^^^ SHITHOLE



    Not racist:
    • Enrollment in school
    • Enrollment in the military
    • Getting a passport
    • Holding the office of the president
    • Obtaining your driver’s license
    • Obtaining a marriage license
    ^^^ Times you're asked to show your birth certificate.


    Got it?

    tah’s Mia Love, the only Haitian-American in Congress, says Trump should apologize for his ‘s---hole’ comment

    Rep. Mia Love, a Utah Republican and the only Haitian-American in Congress, called on President Donald Trump to apologize Thursday after reports said he questioned why the United States was allowing immigrants from “s---hole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.

    “The president’ comments are unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values,” Love said in a statement, noting that her parents, Mary and Jean Maxime Bourdeau, emigrated from Haiti and made their home in America. “This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation.”

    Her parents, she said, took an oath to their adopted country and “took on the responsibilities of everything that being a citizen comes with.”

    Exactly.

    Does anyone really argue whether Haiti is a shithole or not?

    Of course the racist lied about what he said in the meeting yesterday afternoon, and of course he used the phrase "shithole countries". And we know this to be true for a couple of reasons; present at the meeting were Republican lawmakers Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Bob Goodlatte, Kevin McCarthy & David Perdue. For the Democrats - Dick Durbin. Now, it seems to me that if Trump was misquoted by the media, at least one of those Republicans would have rushed to his defense. So far, I haven't seen any such defense - not one of them has refuted the story. Dick Durbin has confirmed the story......

    Just more proof the buffoon in the White House is a pathological liar. And it is more proof he doesn't have a clue of what he is doing......

    "There were dozens of congressman in the room" isn't exactly comforting when attempting to discern the truth.

    Dick Durbin has confirmed the story? I have not seem a single quote from Durbin confirming the President's use of the word "shithole".

    Perhaps you can point me to where I can read that quote.

    EDIT: Never mind, I found it....

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...slur-defends-tough-immigration-stance-n837056

    So now we have to take the word of Durbin....... Oh boy.......

    Seriously? Most crass? Ever heard of LBJ or damn near any other president from another era?

    And I wouldn't care if anyone else said this, had it been a democrat, I'd admire them for finally speaking the truth. The trouble, as I said, is claiming Trump said this when there's no proof. It's not what he said that troubles me because those countries really are shitholes.

    I am not aware, nor is the world outside of Trumpsterville, that any of Trump's political opposition traffics in open pure bigotry and irresponsible and adolescent antics.

    You voted for a bigot, because he proclaims his racism out loud?

    Well, at least you're honest about it. Reprehensible and un American sentiment, but honest.

    If this story had come out about Bill Clinton or even George W. Bush nobody would have believed it without a video clip. But because Trump is the font of crass evil that he is, the story is readily believable. If he had even a modicum of presidential presence and demeanor a story like this - even if it were a total fabrication - would never gain any traction. Just more proof he's not fit to be a leader.

    This is a pathetic game you're playing.

    You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel when you cling to a flimsy rationalization like this one.

    Actually Durbin is only one source for verifying Trump's atrocious comments. The other source of course is the 5 Republican legislators in that same meeting - their total silence on this is all the confirmation sane people need. These 5 Republicans did not back up the leader of their party? Of course it's obvious they didn't want to be counted as liars as well. In other words, we didn't need Durbin to come out on the record.......

    Gawd, this is too funny, the willful blindness of Trump cult members is breathtaking.........:roflol:

    So you're saying that people who are questioning the veracity of the story are insane?

    Really? Do you have evidence of that, or do you just like labeling people who don't agree with the position you have insane?

    No, I voted for Donald Trump. The reason was that I, like a lot of other Americans, have had enough of the reprehensible un American crap from the left.
