The president tells Ilhan Omar and unspecified other members of Congress to go back where they came from. (One of his favorite Fox hosts, Carlson, has been attacking Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez this week.)

6. FYI on the birthplace of Rep Omar

Omar was born in Mogadishu on October 4, 1982,[5][6] and spent her early years in Baidoa, Somalia.

O course she is now a US citizen and a duly elected representative in Congress.

3. my gawd. This is the pres. of the US talking like this. Seriously, what can

be done?? to stop this. I am appalled--I think I can not be anymore. but I am.

5. he is feeding foxnews and their base and it works as always

as now we another distraction

9. And division.

Pelosi v the Squad

[beachbum bob]

10. as always but Pelosi is really getting to the point in time she needs to

have her committees take the gloves off. Announce impeachment inquiry on AG William Barr right NOW

I have little support for the youngsters on what they are saying/doing if they are going rogue with in the caucus...when you are young and inexperience with so much, best to talk less and listen more.


Pelosi is close to giving 2020 away to trump and GOP....

12. Correct, Unstable Moron's approval is climbing.

We can win in 2020 by focusing on prescription drug prices not.

I, an old man, stand with the youngsters:

Impeach the motherfucker now.

The trial will do democracy a world of good, plus paint pussygrabber in the public mind now and for ever for what he is: a traitor.

Lots, if not all, of the 22 GOP Senators up for re-election who won’t vote to convict will be out of jobs come 2021.

At least that’s how it would be were the Democratic leadership to effectively employ the principles of Rhetoric.

13. ONLY with those who like this stuff. WE need those wobbly

conservatives who are appalled and unhappy to the point that they're wondering if they can vote for him again. The worse he and his base behave, the better for us in that respect.

These behaviors are the same rope they hung themselves with in the midterms. We can't stop people who are legally if illicitly in office (and shamefully courtesy of all those on the left who so contemptibly didn't vote against them), but we can and are doing our best not to obscure the more moderate right's awakening to what they are and are capable of.

7. I feel like things are escalating and boundaries are being pushed more rapidly.

I fear for these women, and for PoC in general.

Never stop being appalled.... that is what they want.

[Laurian]

4. I hate that f***** more every day.

When it seems he cannot be any more repulsive, he tweets another, more despicable tweet.

I’m stunned every single day that this ignorant, hateful man was elected president.

And I’m exhausted by him.

8. Me too. When.....When....

When will it be enough?

About 20 minutes before this morning's grotesque Trump rant, Fox & Friends ran a segment about "the Squad" and aired comments Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley (both born in the U.S.) made at Netroots Nation.

Left, Fox & Friends Sunday, 8:06 a.m. Right, Trump, 8:27 a.m.

On Tuesday, Fox host and sometime Trump adviser Tucker Carlson said Rep. Ilhan Omar "has an awful lot to be grateful for, but she isn't grateful, not at all," adding, "maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours."

On Wednesday, Carlson added that "Our country rescued Ilhan Omar from the single worst place on Earth... How did Omar respond to the remarkable gift we gave her? She scolded us, and called us names."

After his provocative tweet this morning, the president again posts about an inflammatory subject, this time from his motorcade driving through northern Virginia.

He was spotted leaving the White House this morning wearing a red hat and white golf shirt.

16. Republicans Silent On Trump's Racist Remarks To Congresswomen

Republicans Silent On Trump’s Racist Remarks To Congresswomen
The president had urged the Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to the countries they came from.

Presidents Donald Trump’s urging of Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to the countries they came from on Sunday has drawn widespread condemnation, with congressional Democrats declaring his rhetoric racist, xenophobic and bigoted.

There was just one thing immediately missing (beyond an apology): a rebuke from their Republican counterparts.


The deafening silence came after Trump went on a Twitter rant against “‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen” who, in his words, came from “countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world.”
