HawgGoneIt Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 He is a racist pig and too stupid to filter what his mind thinks from his open mouth. The guy is totally off the rails and taking into context his history and comments since becoming president, it's getting pretty difficult for his staff to spin him as a beautiful genius with a great mind. http://thehill.com/homenews/media/368650-cnns-don-lemon-the-president-of-the-united-states-is-a-racist 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT is a racist pig. There is no escaping this conclusion. Equally frightening, he is emotionally unstable and there is a very good chance he will lead the country into a catastrophic war. This could be compounded by serious civil disturbances here at home, if not outright chaos. For the good of country, he should be removed from office. Both impeachment and the 25th should be explored to the fullest. If not, we may never recover from the 3 or 7 years of his remaining presidency.

zulu1128 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Pretty much knew that Don Lemon (as well as the usual suspects here) would have a meltdown over this, and do the usual predictable conflation of race vs. nationality. That said, assuming he said it, it was obviously a pretty insensitive and diplomatically silly comment to make. It's also 100% true. So there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would have to think that even if it's to enable their own survival that at some stage reasonable individuals would say, enough. Perhaps I am too optimistic about their intelligence and principles. But without optimism what do I have left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump at this rate wont make it out past april... Damn a second term... I assure you... the lesson has been learned... Hopefully... But yea Trump just made us look even stupider... This is the man we let in the white house. Yea... calling a country poor and calling it a "Shit hole" are 2 different things... If I say Haiti is a poor country that needs help. Well thats a lot less dickish than saying "Your countries a shithole"... Trump says whats on his mind... Ans he can get away with it because he's rich.... Imagine if me or you actually got on national TV and said some BS like this... No one would be on our side... Everybody would be on our ass...

We may end up with 7 more years. Other countries have gotten leaders like this for long stretches. I am not sure we are immune. Trump is a DICK. And a particularly reprehensible one at that, plain and simple. If you or I made those statements and got hammered as a result, we would be getting what we deserve.

Horsefly Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Calling these countries "shitholes" is irrelevant on judging INDIVIDUALS on their merit for immigration. These particular countries have no value, therefore, their people have no value to him either. you connect these dots with his alleged statements about Africans not wanting to return to their huts and Haitians having aids, and a clearer pattern on Trumps thinking emerges.

You are in a safe zone Zulu, as a white guy it allows you to take a non chalant attitude if you choose, as none of this is targeted towards you. Two years ago if Obama had stated he didn't want immigrants from Europe, but more from Africa, mainstream society would have become unhinged. Hell, they did with something as benign as the beer summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can certainly agree that a president using the word “shithole” to describe another country is not a great idea. That being said, he’s still correct. Haiti is a shithole. It’s simply a fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd also know that the people have been resilient in the fight for their freedom, traits that I think we would cherish here in the US.
