1. Righteous

and necessary.
This President is a damn nightmare. We have to vote in overwhelming, fuckery-proof numbers because we will not survive four more years of this divisive language and policy.

[Bayard]

2. Powerful, honorable, and true

tRump has no concept of those qualities.

[EarnestPutz]

3. Wow. Just wow. He makes us really see how language is so important.

And his emotional response to our idiot presidents use of charged language underscores this. The man loves Baltimore and makes you want to love it too.

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. I can't even begin to say how much respect I have for Vixtor Nlackwell for this

Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart. He is a true American.

5. powerful

the Orange Bloviator really does not think brown people are humans. He let that slip by saying no human would live there. You also know you are dealing with a racist when they use the terms, along with "infested" of "breeding" "flooding" and other such words meant to imply that brown people are like insects. The "flood" of illegal aliens, for example - illegal aliens' numbers don't justify the term "flood" which would mean overwhelming numbers, and yet the number of white people is still a lot higher.

8. Yes, and it's exactly how Hitler dehumanized Jews before he began exterminating us.

[cwydro]

15. Boom, you are so right!

Scary shit.

[TheRealistRealist]

6. When are reporters going to challenge him about racist remarks to his face?

When are they going say 'Mr. President why are you using racist attacks against your critics'? When are they going to ask follow-up questions or respond with facts when he lies? A few do so in twitter, but none to his face.

[treestar]

17. That I'll never understand

they never challenge him. They just let him say things. Then pundits comment. But they never make him uncomfortable.

[ProudLib72]

7. Well, yes, I thought the parallels between tRump and Hitler on the "rats and rodents"

thing was pretty obvious. "Infested" goes along with that.

13. Trump is an idiot. Atlanta is a boomtown. Even with a Trumpist as the thieving state governor.

The Georgia legislature is not a true representation of the state. Like the rest of the country, we're held hostage by rural areas because of the number of tiny counties.

The three biggest metropolitan areas are bright blue, and keep the rural population propped up.

10. Wow

[CrispyQ]

11. Very moving.

Here's an example of our press - a thread on a story from CBS news:

snip...

Mr. Trump's tweets quickly stirred outrage online, with many questioning why he would assume the black representative would preside over a squalid district.

Who's questioning? Everyone I know, knows this asshole is a racist! But you guys keep tippy-toeing around the issue.

[Politicub]

12. Support of Trump is becoming a shameful, embarrassing act

After his overreach of directly attacking Americans, his only pubic support will come from those who share his beliefs.

They are in the minority.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Well well,

Donnie knows his Reality TV Presidency is about to take a major hit. And it is coming from a very smart African American Male who has been through Hell and Back during his Younger days. What difference,a False President who during those same years was collecting Ribbons and Badges at some Elite School for rich White Boys.
Cummings is a coming for your hide Donnie.

16. K&R

18. Everybody watch this! Powerful.
