    Oh get off your phony make believe high moral horse. Trump has a history of say crap like that. Remember that hecaccused Obama of not being US born! He claimed that he did not say or insinuate that hus own daughter was a POA. Then there is the recording with the shock jock.

    Trump claimed that he did not commit fraud with his Trump Not A University but a court settlement says otherwise.

    There are
    Agree that he is a coward and does not have the balls to man up and he is not honest and he is morally corrupt and is an embarrassment to our country.
    Racism is difficult to proove because ot is a combination of emotion, attitude, action, but words alone in my opinion are not racist. He may be.

    I'm somewhat disappointed to see Trump back away from his original statement which, frankly, was absolutely SPOT-ON.

    Nevertheless, it was very, very, very politically-incorrect. I might have suggested to him that instead of referring to these shithole countries as shithole countries, I would have referred to them as "septic tanks", "cess-pits", "useless Stone-age barf-bags", or something of that nature.

    BTW, I know Europe fairly well and I could tell Trump that it is unlikely that anyone from Norway would want to immigrate to the U. S. Why not? Because even though Norwegians are taxed at a rate of 50% (or more) on everything they make, buy, sell, or do, the government provides a tidy little cradle-to-grave, idyllic life of virtually carefree Socialism. What former "Viking" wants to go out and 'conquer the world' when he can just lay around on his ass at home and be given everything he wants...?

    Are you joking? You’re saying that US senators wouldn’t make up (lie) something about their political opponent??

    I couldn’t think of a profession that has more liars then career elected officials. Well... perhaps the news media is a tie, but it’s a circle fest in a bathtub at that point.

    It's not "my position", it is a fact Trump stated the phrase "**** hole countries". Get over it.....
    And yes, people who question a known fact are likely insane......

    Ok. So everyone who doesn't think like you is insane. That's quite the label.

    BTW, I notice you edited you post to remove the "insane" claim. Good idea.

    You keep on making stuff up. Nowhere did I say anyone who doesn't think like me is insane. What I said was - "And yes, people who question a known fact are likely insane......". That may have been a bit harsh. I should have said "willfully ignorant" or "uninterested in factual information".

    I didn't make anything up. I was referring to your previous post. Why do you think I asked the question about insanity?

    As to the rest, you're welcome to your opinion.

    Marco Rubio's Florida has highest concentration of Haitians in US.

    But he has no public comment on Trump's slur. His silence suggests approval.

    Link: https://www.politico.com/states/flo...from-trumps-shithole-comments-on-haiti-186438

    Sen. Marco Rubio, who lives Miami-Dade County — home to one of the nation's largest concentrations of Haitian Americans — could not be reached for comment. After Trump’s comments were first reported by the Washington Post and then other media outlets, Rubio discussed immigration on his Twitter feed but did not address Trump’s comments.

    The fact that past presidents used rude or crude language is not a valid excuse fir Trump to do the same.

    There were two senators there one Republican and one Democrat so if one of them made it up the other would have contradicted the report. Sen. Graham has not contradicted Sen. Durban.

    If he does come back and tell us about it.

    Actually there were at least 5 Republicans in the meeting, Tom Cotton, Bob Goodblatte, Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, and David Perdue. Apparently Dick Durbin was the only Democrat. It seems Stephen (Goebbels) Miller had arranged for the other Republicans to be there to prevent his know nothing boss from accepting the deal the Senate group agreed on. I still haven't heard a word of rebuttal from all these Republicans......

    And Trump was at the meeting and says he didn't use derogatory language.

    You believe Durbin and I believe Trump. Nothing has changed.

    So 5 to 1 is Trumpian math for " bi-partisan".

    So when you cannot make an intelligent statement about the topic it is time to drag out the phony socialist accusation. SAD,
