you can't help yourselves

Trump was swept into office as a pushback upon the divisiveness of Harry Reid and Barrack Obama

mid terms turned out perfectly for Trump with these four United States of by God America hating bitches..pushing the party further left and forcing the only Dems with a chance to come along for fear of being labled "racist"

Keep doing you and we will keep Trump ensconsed 

You are enabling the very thing that you hate....but the Republicans are "self-unaware".

What exactly is the point of this post? You don't seem to want to talk about any policies you support; you only want to talk about how policies taken by others impact the horse race. I don't see the presence of any principles or philosophy. You may as well be talking about who should be ranked in a pre-season football poll.

Thanks for illustrating another way how the business of the republic has been reduced to something akin to a pro football game. The players change all the time, so you're really just pulling for the jerseys. If the jersey you favor wins, you're a winner, too!

What do you stand for? What do you care about? What policies are good or bad for America?

Criticizing political strategy does not reflect a political philosophy. Do you have one? A philosophy that is.

My best guess is that you need somebody to blame for your addiction to voting GOP no matter what it stands for or who it runs. Your addiction causes evil, but you, like an addict, won't take responsibility. It's somebody else's fault that you indulge your habit. Daddy hit you or your dog got run over or the ebil libs are toopid. 

What are you?

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, has urged Capitol Police to increase protections for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and other progressive members of Congress, as threats against them mount.

On Monday, Thompson wrote to the Senate Sergeant at Arms Michel C. Stenger, asking him to convene an emergency meeting of the U.S. Capitol Police Board, which the sergeant at arms leads, to “re-examine the Board’s approach to analyzing the risk environment, setting thresholds for enhanced security for certain targeted Members, and evaluating threat streams with law enforcement partners in Member districts.”

Thompson wrote a follow-up letter on Thursday, in which he reiterated the need to provide additional security to four congresswomen of color — Omar, as well as Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — who have been targeted in multiple racist attacks by President Donald Trump and his supporters over the past week.

Are you projecting some kind of weird hive-mind you belong to on me?

What do you mean "what you were doing?" What was I, RomaVicta, doing? What are you talking about? How many illusory lefties do you imagine you warned based on observations you apparently imagined?

You're slipping further and further out of focus. I ask what you are and what you stand for, and you pretty much prove you're the creature I described. You don't know who you are without the imaginary libs.

A few handles days ago, I believe he mentioned the 2018 results were evidence that he was correct and that it was the right's dream scenario.  You know, owning the libs by allowing them to retake the house with four colored wimmens.

Owning the Libs by losing 41 seats in the House, multiple governorships and seeing the best Senate map in a generation for my party reduced to a two seat gain.

Sounds about right for his recent "logic." Good news for the Democrats, though, according to TTT logic, they won the 2016 election!

https://theminnesotasun.com/2019/07/18/commentary-the-congresswoman-representing-somalia/

I am an immigrant.

I want Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) to go back to the shithole country she came from.

And I want her to stay there.

I spent some time on the Internet looking for even one positive thing that Omar has said about America—but my search was in vain. Omar hates and despises her adoptive country unequivocally and unconditionally. She hates everything about America today, and she hates everything about the America of yesterday.

Omar hates white people. Omar hates Jews—and she is not shy about letting everyone know it (“It’s all about the Benjamins baby”). Omar hates our ally Israel (“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel”).

Ilhan Omar is a one-woman hate factory.

Maybe I missed a public statement where Omar praised America. But after looking through countless webpages and many gigabytes, I think I am on solid ground when I say: Ilhan Omar hates everything and everyone around her, except possibly her brother, whom she married, and perhaps the 9/11 terrorists who killed 3,000 people (“some people did something”—no biggie).

As an immigrant from the no-longer-with-us USSR, I believe I have as much moral authority as anyone to tell Omar: you should return to the country you represent and take up permanent residence there.

America can never measure up to Omar’s high standards—but no doubt Somalia will. Omar need not suffer in our land of toxic xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, lookism and speciesism—because she can live out the rest of her life amidst the tolerance, understanding, and mutual respect that Somalis are famous for.

(For those interested, Somalia today is still a land mostly of anarchy, fundamentally not all that different from what you probably saw in “Black Hawk Down,” with a civil war, Islamic terrorists slaughtering civilians, corruption, hunger, poverty, torture, rape, refugee camps, and all the other usual things associated with that jewel of East Africa.)

This past week, President Trump once again detonated the brains of the Left, when he tweeted (without even naming names) that those who came here and enjoyed all the benefits of this country, but had nothing good to say about America, can go back to their original countries. The reaction from the Left was instantaneous and explosive: Racist! Sexist! Nativist! Islamophobe! Bad Man! Really Bad! Trump is Hitler! Trump is Mussolini! Trump is a Dictator! Trump is Satan! We hate Trump!

As an immigrant, I would like to tell Ilhan Omar: I love America. America gave my family and me opportunities I never would have had anywhere else. Unlike you, I am proud to call myself an American. America is incredible and special. My family has never asked for a handout—but what my parents and I have, we have because we grasped the opportunities offered and protected in our new country. For these opportunities, we are eternally grateful.

Twenty years ago, I went to the Vietnam War Memorial for the first time. Even though I didn’t immigrate to this country until 1978, five years after the Vietnam War ended, and even though I have no personal connection to any of the 58,212 names listed on the memorial, I felt the specialness of that place. The sacrifice of the men and women who fought and died for my country was worthy of the deepest respect and contemplation. I have no doubt that Omar, were she ever to go to the Vietnam War Memorial, would feel nothing.

As an immigrant, I can assure native-born Americans that Ilhan Omar does not speak for immigrants. Not for Russian-Jewish ones like me, not for (I am quite confident) Latinos, Asians or Europeans. Omar and the vitriol she constantly spews is not typical of immigrants who come here legally. So I salute President Trump for once again sticking a fork in the eye of the leftist PC crowd, and saying publicly what millions of people are thinking privately. Republicans agree with him. Independents agree with him. In fact, Trump just gave us all even more reasons to vote for him in 2020. And if Democrats don’t agree—who cares?

It is worth describing here a peculiar phenomenon that most Americans have never heard of, known to Jewish immigrants from the USSR by a mocking Russian word razocharovanty—“the disappointed ones.” These were people who had difficulty fitting in at the social level they were once used to—without passable English, the “careers” that were open to them were mostly at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder. And so the razocharovanty wanted to go back to the USSR. As Joe Biden would say, “no joke.”

They didn’t hate America, but they didn’t see themselves as part of the American future, either. They missed their motherland, warts and all—and with rose-colored glasses, the warts didn’t look so warty. Nostalgia isn’t rational—it’s an emotion that exists outside rationality.

And then, miraculously, they got their wish! As a propaganda ploy, the Soviet government permitted the razocharovanty to return! They even chartered a plane to take them back—all roughly 200 of them. The Soviet state restored their pensions (maybe $50 a month in those days) and gave them apartments to live in (no small thing, in a land of socialist scarcity where the government devoted all its energies to building tanks and missiles).

Within months, almost all of the razocharovanty were back in Brooklyn. Spending time in the Soviet Union was the single best way to cure nostalgia. America, suddenly, looked better than ever.

And this brings us back to the heroine of our current events. I want to add my voice to President Trump’s recommendation: Dear Ilhan Omar, you should go back to Somalia. Forever. America’s freedoms are my freedoms—but you care nothing for them. America’s enemies are my enemies—but you think more highly of them than you think of your fellow citizens. America’s allies are my allies—but you hate our allies. America’s heroes are my heroes—but nothing they ever fought and died for, you find heroic or even worthy of a mention. America’s history is something I read and study—but you find nothing there to be proud of.

Ilhan Omar, when you go back to Somalia, we won’t miss you.

I haven't had much good to say about America for a while. Does that mean I can go back to...well, since I know at least some portion of my genome came from the SE and was perhaps Chickasaw it would be Alabama. Or is it the highest percentage of the genome? That's probably England. We're all fucking immigrants. Except for the Natives that survived our depredations. 

So where y'all going? 

 

Oh my. He's a real objective guy. Sho nuf straight up telling it like it is. https://muckrack.com/george-s-bardmesser/articles

Not that it was perfect, but people of opposing views used to be able to voice their ire and their differences on shows like Crossfire. And more civil shows (maybe?) like McLaughlin Group. I saw it in the later years, so they may have yelled and screamed in their youth.

We're all Americans. You can get together on a debate stage, or in an interview, or wherever and discuss ideological differences like human beings.

well when you're looking for someone to hold up as being less dignified than trump, the search is not easy.

they had to find a guy who's been dead for 10 years and an incident that happened 50 years ago.

that alone should tell you something.  bra-vo.

Wow. Just wow. I'm awed by how she handled that. 

I want to thank the hysterical right for introducing me to AOC and, through your vile acts, allowing me to see what a shining person she is. 

Even if I disagreed with her politics and policy ideas, I don't see how you can maintain any respect for yourself if you can't find a way to respect a person like this.

I didn't know about the details of the facebook group. I knew it was bad, but I didn't really think of it in detail. That organization needs to be thoroughly turned inside out by a thorough, independent investigation. Ten thousand tolerating rape memes. What percentage supported them?

If harm comes to one of these Congresswomen, I will despise my own country. Absolutely despise it.

Thanks, hate engine.

I might not be Roy Moore's biggest fan, but he still hasn't been convicted in a court of law of the girl-diddlin. He didn't do blackface. He solicits money from people breathless to send it to him, and then he rather ineptly attempts to carry out his crusades. In an alternate world, say, Louisiana, he might have been governor.

In short, Roy is deeply bent, but I'm not sure he's less dignified.

Less dignified than Trump is going to be a hard get.

Roy Moore was the only one I could grasp at the moment. 

Trump hasn't been convicted either.

Gohmert is a blowhard idiotic hateful sumbitch, but he knows how to behave. Usually. 

That's a real conundrum. Who in office at the moment is less dignified than the occupant of the WH?

I'll be honest.  I think now is the time for some of the other what, 36 new congresspeople to come out and start exerting their own leadership skills.

I'm talking to you Colin Allred. 

Being interested in health care isn't going to cut it.  You need to jump in the fray and show that there are some Dem Congressmen who are willing to take, whether they like it or not, some of the spotlight off of the squad.

Pelosi's comments about the Squad only having four votes should have lit a fire under all of you.

The vast majority is folks cheerleading AOC. There's probably a five or ten to one ratio af people praising her to people opposing her. I generally like her, but as someone who doesn't participate in social media much or watch any sort of cable news network, I'm not seeing that much attention on the right that isn't pushed an equal amount or more by the left.
