The president does need to keep a filter in place at all times, IMO, as it's clear there will almost always be someone around willing to feed his every word to the press.


It is like a bizarre backward version of "The Emperor has no Clothes" except now the "emperor" is calling out the "others."

Just like the old term: "Call a spade a spade."

He meant it when he said he doesn't have time for total political correctness. I would have said the same thing in a different way, but I suspect the reaction would still be the same.

I have no trouble with the language.

Frankly, I have no trouble with red skin, black skin, yellow skin, brown skin,or white skin, but I am most weary of thin skin.

Leftist corruption one of the reasons it, and many other countries, remain shitholes - brought to the world by the progressive globalists. Billions in aid to these shithole places, the people stay poor, hungry and living in filth, yet the corrupt leaders get rich living lavishly and well fed. And yet somehow calling it out is the bigger offense.

All their fake outrage. I have a list of shitholes the left is free to move to, put their money where their mouth is. Go make them a better place.




Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

In my view, what Trump REALLY needs to do is find out who leaked the conversation, and then fire them with prejudice!

More of that deep swamp crap.

How about putting the suspects on the lie detector? It is long past the time to start cleaning up that swamp. And it seems a portion of it is in his camp.

There were multiple people in the room from both parties from what I understand, so it really isnt a leak.

Most of the shitholes in the US were built into what they are by the left.

shitholes

A social experiment was carried out in Puerto Rico in the 60s.

The objective was to locate housing projects adjacent to well-to-do and almost-there well-to-do subdivisions. It was expected that those in the housing projects would learn and assimilate all the good traits, attributes and characteristics of their upper class neighbors.

You, the reader, have three chances to figure out what happened.

Many of these countries have refugees in the US with Temporary Protected Status - meaning they are not subject to deportation because it is too dangerous to go back home. If your country is so dangerous that you have to flee to a foreign land, then your country by definition is a shithole.

It may not always have been a shithole and there may come a day when it is no longer a shithole, but for the time being, it is a shithole.

So which is it Democrats? Are these countries shitholes or can we let the refugees' temporary protected status expire and send them home?

In Haiti, the poor eat cookies made of dirt. Actual dirt. At least here they get Twinkies.

Yes, my friends. Haiti is a shit-hole. One of many in the world, and in the US for that matter. Most of which are ruled by leftists.

Why is a shit-hole a shit-hole? Is it the land? The very dirt? Is it the geographical location? No. A shit-hole is a shit-hole because it is populated by shit-heads.

Are all of them shit-heads? Possibly not. But a significant portion are in fact shit-heads.

So, if we indiscriminately import into our country large numbers of these people, many of whom are shit-heads, it is obvious we will be importing a lot of shit-heads.

Doesn't it make our country just a little more shitty to have more shit-heads? Yes and no. For most Americans, yes it makes things just a little shittier. And for some a lot shittier.

But not for everyone. You see we have our own native shit-heads. Here they are called Democrats. Our shit-heads need a constant stream of new shit-heads coming into the country voting for them and for more shit, preferably free shit. At least it is free for them. The rest of have to pay for their free shit.

So there you have it. Now, you know why our shit-heads support immigration of shit-heads from shit-holes.

True, but he can publicize it. Not to mention having nothing to do with the asshole, and work against him/her at their next election campaign.
