The chants were too far. Trump should condemn them. Telling them they’re free to leave and participate in the nations’ they self-identify with, is one thing. Supporting forcibly removing a citizen for expressing speech protected by the first amendment is too far.
He should have had a McCain moment and correct the ignorance.

Guess impeachment isn’t what even the majority of Democrats want
Maybe they can vote 60 plus times to repeal Obamacare and then not successfully when it really matters.
See, you are capable of posting productively!

Could be nothing but worth keeping an eye on
I can't tell you how many of the ominous posts have been made in this thread with crickets afterwards. Sooner or later something will come of one of these, can we wait until it does to post about it?
This thread is amusing.
Posters: Blah blah blahz Mitch, all u ever do is complain. You bring nothing.
Me; (posts topical news info to keep thread insightful & newsworthy)
Posters; This link is stupid. Gtfo What did u post this for. Lollolz hahahaaa
It’s not that. It’s that you’ve been telling us something major is going to happen almost weekly the past 3 years. You really think some new, meaningful revelation will come from this?
No one cares that he paid a porn star to shut up, especially after she hired a lawyer, did the talk show circuit to include telling Anderson Cooper that Trump came inside her, all to promote a strip club tour.
If I had posted weekly about how Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate or some nonsense about Benghazi was going to drop and result in impeachment, you’d have rightfully laughed. This is no different.
You just posted last week how absurd you find the policy positions of all the Democratic front runners. Yet, I assume your vote for the eventual nominee is without question.
And this week you’re playing a violin for 4 idiots whom won’t condemn fucking Al Qaeda, and whose policy ideas make Warren look like Wallace.
It’s perfectly reasonable to ask if someone’s criticism is valid or consistent, or entirely partisan.
What actual policy positions do you disagree with Trump on, and which Democrat do you find yourself aligned with. Not the rhetoric or mental gymnastic leaps necessary to say Trump’s tweet was racist (Harris echo’d Trumps comments back at him - is she racist and should she be condemned), but the actual policy. I’m very interested to hear your thoughts.

And they announced today the investigation is over and no further charges are forthcoming. Maybe next time guys!

Antifa attacked a government facility and... Has the media even talked about it?
You mean unlike every nutjob the media has attributed to Trump, someone using the exact slogan’s said by AOC and the squad, might have been influenced by them? Surely AOC would have condemned the attack when asked about it right? If she refused to condemn it, the media would have to talk about it right?
Trump was blamed for some wacko who shot up a paper after years of conflict unrelated to any political ideology. But when the suspect openly and directly supports a democrat and shoots up congress or an ICE center repeating verbatim what their political hero said, not a peep. Who’s really promoting violence at the end of the day? Trump said people protesting the removal of a statue weren’t inherently evil and was lampooned for it. Democrats won’t even condemn violence committed in their name against reporters and government agents. I can’t wait for antifa to show up in Pittsburgh. I might go for a walk with Lucille.

You should just keep banning people until you and only those like you are in this thread.
No, Mitch. It’s because you’re an angry asshole. You don’t come here to have a conversation with anyone. You’ve derailed this entire thread because your sole interest in this thread is to talk about other posters and insult them. You can’t even form coherent thoughts.
You’re embarrassingly misinformed and ignorant on nearly every newsworthy event. It’s not that you have a different opinion, it’s that you don’t actually offer an opinion - you offer angry, random, and incoherent vitriol that isn’t in any way meant to engage another person.
This thread is dead because you’re a distraction. No one wants to post in this section because you’ll quickly turn it into a commentary on your behavior and wild, offensive insults. People came out the wood work to condemn you, so you know people are reading this discussion. And they’re not posting because they’ll be attacked by you for daring to say something different than whatever cause you’ve decided to unload onto random strangers you don’t know nor make any attempt to learn about or understand.
All of us have lost our cool and been dicks over the years. But that’s all you offer. I’m seriously asking you to ask yourself why you come here to voice your “opinion” when it’s quite obvious your posts are the first time you’ve ever considered the topic and are only interested in being an asshole to others.
It’s old, man. One guy here voted for Trump, and while he’s clearly logged in to read the forum, doesn’t seem interested in posting because of how toxic your behavior has made this thread. Yet you attack the air at this MAGA hat wearing boogeyman you’ve created and projected onto everyone.
Either post constructively, and deal with the occasional disagreement, or don’t post. You don’t have to be an asshole. You're choosing to be.

You’ve had no problem in the past assigning blame to others.
I worked Sat-Sun, probably didn't post at all if you check the thread.
Oh, I wasn’t serious. Just pointing out the double standard. I don’t blame others for the actions of strangers.

How about Obama. 2008-2016. Obamacare. Should they have left too? The people who disagreed with it. Hannity, Rush, Tea Party. McConnell didn't like Merrick Garland, he should've just left. If a Dem wins in 2020, Republicans should just leave. Go somewhere else. Got it guys, way to paint yourselves into a corner
No, just people who openly hate this country and are either refugees or the children of refugees.
Who’d have thought in 2019, patriotism and love of one’s country would be decried as racism and xenophobia. Only in America.
Only 1 of them is a refugee. And AOC definitely isn't a child of a refugee as puerto ricans are born US citizens. Did you even bother researching the other two?
I’m aware of their parentage and am not advocating they be removed from the country. Simply pointing out that at least 2 of them (I didn’t research Presley because I don’t care) are refugees or the child of refugees. They’re positions are extreme, ignored by their own party, and aren’t reflective of America at all. Omar has said objectively racist things repeatedly, and probably committed marriage fraud (which could cost her citizenship), while the other 3 idiots say outright lies and associate this country with Nazi Germany. They’re free to leave if they hate it here, as their views aren’t shared by a plurality of people and are as radical as anything Ron Paul ever said.
You’re free to align yourself with them and pretend anything Trump has said is remotely close to the overt racism Omar has said the past year. But what he said isn’t racist, and giving more time to these yahoos only hurt the DNC.
