    In what way? Because you’re sensitive as hell and your feelings may be hurt. It’s time we had a President with a little backbone. So you’re taxes are gonna be lower now, if you have any investment in the stock market you’re making a shot load of money now, our military is getting stronger, the whole world respects us now, Isis barely exists, fewer drugs pouring into our country, fewer illegals pouring into our country, jobs are coming back more than ever before and finally we have a President that don’t mind using a little profanity every now and then! You call that hell?

    U.S. Global Image Takes Another Hit Under Trump
    Another international survey spells bad news for America's reputation under the Trump administration.
    By Megan Trimble, Associate Editor, Social Media
    Nov. 16, 2017, at 4:31 p.m.

    https://www.usnews.com/news/best-co...t-under-donald-trump-in-international-ranking

    excerpts:

    "A "nation brand" index – released Thursday from Germany-based market research firm Gfk and political consultant Simon Anholt – ranked the U.S. No. 6, a clear decline from its first place ranking last year. In fact, the nation was the only country in the top 10 to see a decline from 2016. Germany advanced one spot from 2016 to top the list."

    "Similarly, a Pew Research Center poll released in June found that global perceptions of the U.S. had become more negative – a trend tied in part to U.S. President Donald Trump."

    Racism absolutely exist. Never said it doesn't. Racism is part of the culture of every nation. However for a Dem to say a Rep is racist simply because they are a Rep. simply makes themselves look foolish.

    Was responding to the inputs of how CEOs were being ridiculed for screwing over minimum wage workers and as it happened you picked Besos as a response to the immigrant debate. It was simply a good way to show that an immigrant can learn that it's about economics in the end. Something they can teach to those that don't get it.

    Well, I've been away for awhile so let me address a few things.

    First to NotMyRealName, I give up on your "I would support any politician that provided a pathway for removal of any resident U.S. minority group that felt this country was making them miserable", with taxpayer money. I don't understand what you're saying and I'll let others draw their own conclusions. If you wish to elaborate please start a thread on the subject.

    To everyone else, the rules of the site allow anyone to post anything, basically, as long as they don't launch personal attacks on each other and stay on topic. Groups are fair game, as I found out years ago when I reprimanded someone for attacking Christians as a group.
    That being said I can't remove racist posts. The best way to see them decrease is to ignore them.

    Next, as a participant and originator of this thread I try to take great care in not being bias. That means I have let many post alone that I really feel should have been deleted for various reasons.

    Lastly, it's time to bring this thread back on topic, which is a posting and discussion of actions taken by Donald Trump, pro or con, and reactions to those actions, comments, etc.
    Please stay on topic by relating anything you post to actions taken by Donald Trump.

    Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of Defense and a conservative Republican says Trump is an embarrassment.

    The New York Times lists Trump's racist past.

    I've edited some of the items to make this post shorter. Please go to the link to get the entire thing.
    I'm amazed that some of these remarks have been made by a prominent "businessman" and a "genius", let alone a president of the United States.

    1. Trump avoided renting apartments to African-Americans and gave preferential treatment to whites.
    2. Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites. “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”
    3. Trump took out ads in New York newspapers urging the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a white woman in Central Park; he argued they were guilty more than 10 years after DNA evidence had exonerated them.
    4. Trump said: “I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that. I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really believe they do have an actual advantage.”
    5. Trump disparaged Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapists.”
    6. He suggested that Obama’s protection of the Dreamers contributed to the spread of MS-13.
    7. Trump called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” including refusing to readmit Muslim-American citizens who were outside of the country at the time.
    8. Trump said a federal judge hearing a case about Trump University was biased because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.
    9. In June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” and that 40,000 Nigerians would never “go back to their huts” in Africa.
    10. Trump vulgarly called for less immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway.
    11. He spent years suggesting that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Kenya.
    12. Trump called Obama (who was editor in chief of the Harvard Law Review) “a terrible student, terrible.”
    13. Trump frequently claimed that Obama did not work hard as president.
    14. Trump falsely claimed that President Obama “issued a statement for Kwanzaa but failed to issue one for Christmas.”
    15. He often casts heavily black American cities as dystopian war zones. Trump also said to black voters: “You’re living in poverty; your schools are no good; you have no jobs.”
    16. He frequently offers false crime statistics to exaggerate urban crime.
    17. He is quick to highlight crimes committed by dark-skinned people, sometimes exaggerating or lying about them. He is very slow to decry hate crimes committed by whites against dark-skinned people.
    18. He frequently criticizes prominent African-Americans for being unpatriotic, ungrateful and disrespectful.
    19. He called Puerto Ricans who criticized his administration’s response to Hurricane Maria “politically motivated ingrates.”
    20. He has retweeted white nationalists without apology.
    21. He called some of those who marched alongside white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., last August “very fine people.”
    22. After David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed him, Trump was reluctant to disavow Duke even when asked directly on television.
    23. Trump hired Steve Bannon as his campaign head and later White House chief strategist. Under Bannon’s leadership, the website Breitbart made white nationalism a central theme.
    24. Trump endorsed and campaigned for Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate who spoke positively about slavery and who called for an African-American Muslim member of Congress not to be seated because of his religion.
    25. Trump pardoned – and fulsomely praises – Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff sanctioned for racially profiling Latinos and for keeping immigrants in brutal prison conditions.
    26. Trump took out advertisements alleging that the “Mohawk Indian record of criminal activity is well documented.” At the time, he was fighting competition for his casino business.
    27. He suggested that Native Americans in Connecticut were faking their ancestry.
    28. In a November 2017 meeting with Navajo veterans of World War II, Trump mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”
    29. Trump has trafficked in anti-Semitic caricatures, including the tweeting of a six-pointed star alongside a pile of cash. He has also been reluctant to condemn anti-Semitic attacks on journalists from his supporters, and he echoed neo-Nazi conspiracy theories by saying that Hillary Clinton “meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors.”
    30. In a White House meeting with a Korean-American intelligence analyst briefing him on Pakistan, Trump wondered aloud why she was not working on North Korea policy.
    31. Trump once referred to a Hispanic Miss Universe as “Miss Housekeeping.”
    32. At a June 2016 campaign rally, Trump pointed to one attendee and said: “Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him.”

    My family and I were shocked at the false alarm in Hawaii – as a family we just couldn’t imagine the mental anguish people must have felt that at any moment they and their children could be incinerated, worse that you might not even be able to get to your loved ones to comfort and say goodbye, before it happened.

    And the first tweet after it had happened from that shithole in the presidency was him worried about the (fake) news he had paid off a stripper he’d supposedly had an affair with.

    The man is a complete tool

    America has so so many Islamic doctors and health care profesionals; they immigrated here to help us. We should feel lucky that they immigrated to the US

    Nathan Bedford Forest led that attack on Ft. Pillow, Tenn. in The Civil War. He led the assault on The Union soldiers who had surrendered. They were Black, uniformed soldiers who waived the white flag but were atttacked anyway. I believe that Forrest Gump is named after Nathaniel Bedford Forrest..

    There were I believe three different books published in the past year about Liberia and Black American colonization.

    The remark was made by the Israeli minister of Communications, not the Prime Minister according to the only source I can find, The San Francisco Daily Digest. The Digest appears to be an alt right web site.They provide a link to the European Union Times but it doesn't work. The European Times appears to be a partial conspiracy site hosted by the White Racialist wife of skinhead Christopher Nachtman.

    Regardless, citing one racist in support of another doesn't get us too far.

    During the Prime Minister of Israeli, Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Kenya in July of 2016 he said, "Africa has no better friend than Israel".

    Trump was at his golf resort and Mar-a-Lago when this particular incident occurred. He has spent about a third of his time there since becoming President after saying he wouldn't leave the White House because too much work needed to be done and after whining about other Presidents supposedly spending too much time golfing.

    In a previous incident when N. Korea launched a missile over Japan, Trump was at a party at Mar-a-Lago and having his pic taken with a group of young brides maids.

    During the campaign, Trump apparently meant to say that the public will get tired of all of his 'whining', not 'winning'.

    Israeli Minister Dubs African Migrants 'Sanitary Nuisance,' Calls for Death Sentence for Fake News
    Haaretz Jan 13, 2018 5:08 PM

    Israeli minister dubs African migrants 'sanitary nuisance,' calls for death sentence for fake news

    excerpt:

    ""In my previous role, I was in charge of regional cooperation to save tourism in Eilat. We brought here 1,500 from Akaba and thus we deported, without making any effort, the illegal workers who infiltrated here and were a sanitary nuisance."

    Kara went on to make another harsh statement in the speech he made, calling for media outlets that broadcast "fake news" to be given the death verdict. His words were received with a round of applause. The communications minister said: "Everyone who brings [sic] fake news, will bring upon themselves the death verdict and there won't be fucking fake news anymore.""

    We mustn't ignore the delicious irony that BaldnBare, a purported virulent Anti-Semite, is praising Israel and using the words of an Israeli to support Trump's remarks. Is Baldie (gasp)(((((((((((((((Jewish)))))))))))))))))) ????????????????????

    The mouth on Kara sounds similar to that of Scaramucci.
