Text of the page (random words):
less loop can be manufactured by having the president issue one of his half hearted half arsed semi non apology apologies off they go again the pile the explainers the commentators a new configuration for the piles followed immediately by the explainers and the commentators let s do try to simplify matters it will often come to pass that a stupid boorish racist man will say boorish racist things there s only one answerable question do you agree with him or not that sums up the parade share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a

immigration politics racism republicans tagged as racism trump july 17 2019 5 49 am trump making racists comfortable since 2015 okay there s not a racist bone in trump s body but there appears to be plenty in his muscles tendons ligaments organs and other soft tissue to make up for any deficit and he s very good at making other such beings comfortable with their white supremacist perspectives the first way garden variety racists make themselves feel comfortable is to define their way out of the category how am i a racist if i don t don the contents of my linen closet join the circle around a burning cross and wave my confederate battle flag see i m not a racist i m not like those people however it isn t necessary to jump on the nativist bandwagon in order to hold obviously racist views how about dressing up in blackface for a halloween event or dressing up a youngster in blackface to perform country dance steps just good fun here s a hint if the activity would not be done in front of a predominantly ethnic minority audience of color then it s probably racist that the white person didn t mean for the action or comment to be racist isn t relevant if it was racist it was racist it isn t the other person s fault for misinterpreting the action or comment the responses range from outright defensiveness to attempts to deflect to the reaction as overblown or hyper sensitive another hint it s okay to apologize there are innumerable lists of items we could add to the things better left unsaid category attach any of the following to the opening i m not a racist but tag they just don t fit in with regular people they just don t learn english they don t assimilate they drive up to get their food bank stuff in a better car than mine they always seem to have money for pizza and beer they sit around getting free stuff and services while there are jobs that go begging all over this country if they just act more like white people if they d stop having kids they can t afford and we could add another thousand variations on these themes all to the same end the point is that the and related sentiments make those harboring racist ideas comfortable with themselves those like the president who reinforce and reassure the practitioners make the racists feel justified less guilty and more socially acceptable these are the people trump feels he can add to his base if he can provide rationalization and justification to those who need to suppress their episodic pangs of conscience then his electoral strategy might be successful share this share on x opens in new window x

racist the erstwhile president of the united states of america managed a good trick combine 1950s racism with 1950s white supremacist sentiments not bad for one twitter storm he blended the go back to africa taunt with those outside agitators are commies abetted by his little minion sen lindsey graham this harkens back to one of the old redemptionist themes all our darkies were happy until those yankee abolitionist agitators came along the updated version was all our n words were happy before those outside agitators from the north started meddling in our state s rights the current version generalizes opposition to white supremacist views those outside agitators are commies and un american repetition doesn t improve the sentiment but why does anyone pretend to be shocked he espoused the blatantly racist birtherism plague he came down the escalator to tell us about those drug dealers and rapists and said he couldn t get a fair trial before that mexican judge a native of indiana he said there were some very fine people among those chanting the nazi slogans in charlottesville and to put some icing on the cake his supporters are whining that it s racist to call out his racism see brit hume he didn t so much respond to reporters questions today about his racist tweets as he talked past them and over the reporters who pressed on his isn t the most powerful voice on the lawn or in the room as it is the most rude and persistent there s a distinction a distinction lost on him senator angus king recalled lawyer robert welch have you no decency at long last have you no decency

2019 9 45 am gop stop desecrating the flag i m tired of gop complaints about anyone showing disrespect to the american flag full out tired and i ll remain that way until they stop advocating immigration policies which are a desecration of that banner and what it stands for it is a desecration of the flag to fly it above a facility in which children are mistreated period please don t try to tell me these aren t our children because while they are in our custody they are ours they are our responsibility if a youngster is too young to understand when and how to use a toothbrush then teach him there is no excuse for not providing adequate staffing and supplies for children to maintain basic hygiene there is no excuse for not providing supervision and medical examinations or waiting until medical issues are serious before providing care no excuse whatsoever and to attach a flag to the wall overlooking this kind of catastrophe is inexcusable in itself it is a desecration it is a desecration to fly a flag over a building in which children are held without adequate food bedding recreation education and legal representation it is a desecration to fail to provide an adequate number of translators and other assistants for them in service to a deliberately cruel and racist policy it is a desecration to put a flag in the immediate vicinity on any activity which is in flagrant violation of international norms morals and standards for the treatment of our fellow human beings think for a moment of a person in authority referring to a refugee as a tonk and dehumanizing an individual in our name under our flag it s a desecration it is a desecration of the flag for it to stand in a court room wherein a four year old is alone before a judge in a pseudo hearing on his or her status as a refugee to this country this is not a hearing not a judicial proceeding it is a travesty it is a desecration of the flag for it to fly over a for profit facility over which there is inadequate supervision yes say the contractors we will take billions in public funds but we will not allow random inspections we will not allow oversight by the congressional members who want to view how tax dollars are being spent this too is a travesty the flag ought not fly over travesties should a flag hang in a building in which hearings are held without a translator being made available without competent legal assistance i pledge allegiance to a flag but only if it flies over people who look and sound just like me and think the way i do this is a christian jewish muslim hindu buddhist nation of believers and non believers black white brown and every shade in between the flag is broad enough to cover us all if it flies freely and proudly it will do so over all of us so every time some member of the gop remarks about some athlete or anyone else for that matter desecrating the flag please note the stars and stripes defeated the stars and bars the flag of unity and fraternity defeated the cause of division treason and its racist emblem the stars and stripes should hang proudly wherever there is liberty and justice for all anything less is a desecration

republican july 8 2019 7 45 am so what is it citizen trump s pronouncements on the situation for migrants on our southern border are confusing for example are the conditions so dire they will be a deterrent to other people from central america trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily or are they just fine and the press heretofore denied access should all flock to the rio grande for photographs trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily are there children unwashed without toothbrushes without medical care without clean clothing because they don t want showers they don t know how to brush their teeth they are better off here than they were at home trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily or if the conditions are bad enough people won t want to subject their children to this treatment trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily the president has or has not seen the border detention facilities he said he d seen the facilities and everything was fine trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily or he hasn t actually visited any of the detention centers but he knows everything is just fine trumpian base of deplorables cheers happily there are frankly speaking nothing but mixed messages coming from this incompetent administration regarding the conditions in which adults and children are being held further while we re trying to find out what is happening in supposedly short term processing centers we re not asking enough questions about what s going on in the trumpcamps this morning the administration is touting improvement at cbp centers saying only 26 children remain in custody good but of those no longer counted among the border detainees how many are reunited with family how many are still separated from family members we can and should be more specific when asking about those youngsters who ve been assigned to places like the homestead facility where are the adolescent girls held under what conditions with what kind of supervision and assistance do all the youngsters have immediate access to legal representation to education to health and recreation programs are the children under the supervision of adults who aren t likely to refer to them by using insulting slang terms unfortunately we re not likely to get definite answers and those we do get will be contradictory and confusing this cannot continue share this share on x
