Man who's leading the largest crackdown on immigration in the last 100 years: "I want more people from Norway. Why can't we have more people from Norway?!"
Trump is a racist by any definition...

Corruption Junction:
On top of the unethical behavior these Kushner-Manafort emails show the extraordinary access and influence Manafort had with Trump transition team months after he was fired and months after it was publicly known he was under FBI investigation.

Pence is almost as big a liar as Trump...
Reality:
At this rate Republicans are about to make Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez President... Maybe that's why they keep promoting her...

She’s not qualified to be President of a Sorority Chapter...
“Unemployment is low because people have two jobs”
She would need to step up in class to be a simpleton...

Mark this day on your calendar -- on this day in history, paid liar Sander admitted to a "false statement" and sort of apologized but of course blamed it on the Council of Economic Advisers -- which should also generate worry about its competence. Clowns and liars led by the Liar-in-Chief Trump. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders apologized late Tuesday for wrongly stating that President Trump has created three times as many jobs for black workers as President Barack Obama did. At a news conference Tuesday, Sanders said Obama created 195,000 jobs for African Americans during his eight years in office. "When President Obama left after eight years in office — eight years in office — he had only created 195,000 jobs for African Americans,” Sanders told reporters. “President Trump in his first year and a half has already tripled what President Obama did in eight years." Sanders’s statement was false. According to official statistics, black employment in the United States increased by nearly 3 million jobs from January 2009 through January 2017. From January 2017 through July of this year, black employment has increased by about 700,000 jobs. Later Tuesday, the White House Council of Economic Advisers took responsibility for the mistake and published new data comparing black job creation following Obama’s elections in 2008 and 2012 with black job creation following Trump’s election in 2016. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/08/15/white-house-economists-apologize-after-huckabee-sanders-false-statement-about-black-employment-under-trump/

Just curious, are you aware that Donald Trump is currently President? His idiocy is no excision for hers... Other than you just admitting you're holding her to a higher standard than our current President there's zero point to what you're saying.. Name your favorite Pol and I can point you to him/her saying something stupid. Her gaffes aren't anymore ridiculous than your typical Congressman, and her knowledge is way more advanced than our current President. The reason why you guys are scared is because you can see her message resonates, and it will continue to do so because of the way Republicans have chosen to lead.

Free stuff for no work always resonates unless you are one of the humps working. At a time when we are what economist consider full employment you make the claim people don't wan't to work and just want things for free. People are working, and they're still poor because the system isn't working for them. Are you sure you're not a secret member of the let them eat cake division of the coastal elites? How are you all in on tax cuts for the wealthy, against almost any Government program that makes life easier for the working poor, and call anybody else elitist?

Free college, free healthcare, guaranteed income...Yippee!!!
Only one problem: nothing is the world is actually free.
For everyone who goes to college for free, two people pay more to make it happen.
I borrowed and worked to get through Georgetown. I did the same for law school. Would I have preferred free college and no debt? You bet Inwould have. God willing I will help my kids do the same.
I am just not a fan of the handout. Sorry.

I borrowed and worked to get through Georgetown. I did the same for law school. Would I have preferred free college and no debt? You bet Inwould have. God willing I will help my kids do the same. I am just not a fan of the handout. Sorry. Nothing scary about free healthcare but not having health care is pretty scary. I'm guessing when you were going through school it was a lot cheaper, but no free tuition proposals include private universities like Georgetown, so you would still have to do those things if you wanted a degree from there. On the subject of free college, Georgetown did a study on the benefits of a college education and they found College graduates earn $1 million more than high school graduates over their lifetime, and the income gap between the highest-paid college majors and the lowest-paid is more than $3 million dollars. The study analyzed wages for 137 college majors to discover the economic benefit of earning an advanced degree by undergraduate major. cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/the-college-payoff/Average cost of Public College for in state kids is about 10 grand a year. Seems like a lot of your investment would be recouped in the form of taxes paid on that extra income. It also seems like those people wouldn't need government assistance to get by so the government saves money there also. If Government gave a 1.5 billion in tax cuts to the rich, or invested 1.5 trillion in a more educated workforce, what action do you think would be a bigger boost for the economy and for the overalll health of our country?

All sounds great like so many socialist propositions. Right up until you run out of producers to fund those who only consume.
Also, free college etc means people have no skin in the game. Fail, don’t fail who cares I’m not paying.

I’d still like one of the trump supporters explain to me how they are not racist despite supporting a racist president, racist administration, who are carrying out a racist agenda. Their desire for a whiter America is obvious, I wish they’d just admit it rather than pretend they are supporting law and order or whatever nonsense they use to deflect the truth. Not a Trump supporter (I voted for John Kasich, who got a mighty 4% of the vote in the primary), but the best analogy to this was given by Salena Zito of the Atlantic: Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally, while opponents take him literally but not seriously. More should take him literally and seriously. Does every Republican out there want to repeal the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment? Of course not, but the 80 percent that say they support him see him as a provocateur. A coal miner in West Virginia or a farmer in Wisconsin has no friends in Washington, so when they see the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton living the good life, they aren't happy. Wall Street and Silicon Valley may be paved with gold, but places like Youngstown and Buffalo and Terre Haute are destitute. Trump is that TV character that is sticking it to the elite even if he is one of them, of course. They are willing to ignore the personal nonsense in order to afflict the comfortable. The other 20% of Republicans see him as an empty vessel at best and at worst an aspiring Recep Erdogan, with very little actually governing going on. However, they fear that if they speak up, state television (FNC) will drum them out of office. Every 20-24 years or so, America toys around with populism, but have only elected two--Andrew Jackson and Donald Trump. You can almost draw a line through history: 1896: William Jennings Bryan 1924: Robert LaFollette 1948: Strom Thurmond 1968: George Wallace 1992: Ross Perot 2016: Donald Trump Trump is the modern day "Lonesome Rhodes", a character created by TV and ultimately defeated by it. The 1957 movie "A Face In the Crowd" (featuring a sinister character played by a young Andy Griffith) showed how it might end this time around: The only problem is that Lonesome Trump could make a similar speech, and the 35% or so that support him no matter what will still support him. No matter what means no matter what. One of the few things Trump got right was his statement that he could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square, and it wouldn't make any difference.

Whack job clowns. Your Republican Party Wildfires strike California every year. But they’re getting worse, causing deaths and uprooting communities. But who is to blame for these increasingly destructive wildfires? According to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, it’s “environmental terrorist groups.” During a radio interview with Breitbart News, Zinke said that “environmental terrorist groups” are preventing the government from managing forests and are largely responsible for the severity of the fires. But fire scientists and forestry experts pointed out that climate change is the main factor behind the problem. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/08/15/ryan-zinke-blames-california-wildfires-environmental-terrorist-groups/?utm_term=.57f6cb36608e

Fail, don’t fail who cares I’m not paying. This a very bleak and pessimistic way to think... why are you so worried that folks are going to game the system as opposed to being happy for the folks who’ll benefit from it? The great majority of people who’d be eligible for a free education will use it to better themselves and their families.. Relax I doubt very many recipients become lifetime students at the taxpayers expense..

Fail, don’t fail who cares I’m not paying. Like Germany or France? Like Arkansas or West Virginia? There's already a lot of states that do it. You act like this is some radical position but the majority of developed nations provide healthcare and education to their citizens for free. The radical position is the American one. You're railing against a proposal you haven't seen, but plenty of states already provide free education. Socialist West Virginia just passed a law giving their residents free community college. Radical is giving 1.5 trillion in tax breaks to the wealthy while real wages have remained flat for about 40 years.... How do tax cuts for the wealthy pay for themselves? You have no worries about who was paying for that (because you aren't), and no comment on the current President reintroducing the country to trillion dollar deficits in a bull market, but invest in the middle/lower class and you've found Jesus again. Who's the out of touch elitist?

Instead of increasing access to a *quality education, Republicans are busy at work trying to figure out ways to make it easier to scam students and veterans... Make Trump University Great Again.
Republicans are trying to make AOC President...
