I first heard "go back to your country" as a kid before my first full year in this country from the neighborhood young conservatives. Don't think they just had a difference of political opinion with me. Anyone reading this that is not white and/or an immigrant not heard it? Now more than 40 years later to hear this from the president of the United States of America.
It might have been years after hearing "go back to Africa" that I was first called a "************" and my family has been in Virginia and North Carolina for more than 200 years (I can easily trace a plantation owner family to 1652 Jamestown and well... they made themselves part of the family).
Friday to Tuesday: America 2019, where the president's sexual assault victim gets pushed out of the news by the president's concentration camps for children, which gets pushed out of the news by the president's child-sex-trafficking bestie which gets pushed out of the news by the president's racism— Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) July 15, 2019

Hillary was right, although it has long been well-known to those of us they persecute, they simply are deplorable.
Hillary was right about everything. In contrast, Trump was (and is) wrong about everything. Even when he has a 50% chance of being right, because it's a topic that nobody knows the answer to, for example the guilt of the Central Five youths at the time that Trump denounced then, he is wrong. Put a coin in front of him, he will boast every time that he knows where it will land, and against all odds, he will always be wrong. He has a gift that way.
Waiting for Lindsey to say "they mean send her back to her district to work harder for her constituents. Also, she's a Jew-hating mooslim who is part of a terrorist's harem"
Just to save you a trip to the other Trump thread... here he is quoted in a politico article I posted there... Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters in the Capitol on Thursday morning that the phrase “send her back” was not inherently racist, and maintained that Trump’s attack against Omar was rooted not in racial animosity but instead provoked by her outspoken opposition to the president. “I’ve said before that if you're Somali refugee wearing a ‘MAGA’ hat, he doesn't want to send you back. You’ll probably have dinner at the White House,” Graham said. “The bottom line is that if you embrace his policies, it doesn't matter where you come from, he probably likes you,” he added.
How Graham survives in politics. The bottom line is that if you embrace his policies (and kiss his fat ass like I do), it doesn't matter where you come from, he probably likes you,” he added.
Graham's case in point made here. 'Infuriated' Florida Republicans disinvite Scaramucci from fundraiser for criticizing Trump for sending 'racially charged' tweet - and he hammers black chairman for 'condoning' racism Anthony Scaramucci accused the Republican Party chairman in Palm Beach, Florida of liking Donald Trump's racist comments. Chairman Michael Barnett is black.

C'mon... Catholics aren't Christians when not convenient. Due to bans, I've actually seen a lot more biodegradable plastic straws recently. Obviously they are much better than paper straws.
