Discussion: White House: Dems Using 'Sh*thole' Comments To Stall On Immigration

Someone needs to inform the White House that the G.O.P. has a majority in both houses of Congress, and that the Democrats can’t “stall” anything.

They know. It’s all show. Blame the Dems for the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, for the wind blowing and the rain falling. It doesn’t have to be true.

The Trumpsters will slurp it all down.

(I wish the Dems were as powerful as they like to portray us…)

Oh poor Sarah Slanders she has to explain how even though the GOP controls every branch of government, they can’t get anything accomplished because of those pesky Democrats, not because they are simple incompetent.

“The President brought them all here, had a very candid conversation, which you guys were all witness to, on getting that done and laid out,”

So you’re saying that the media was in the room when the Dump called Haiti and African countries “shitholes”? I hadn’t caught that over the weekend.

When the going gets tough, the Republicans blame the Democrats.

If at first you don’t succeed, blame, blame the Democrats.

If you want to make omelettes, you have to blame the Democrats.

Trump prefers white gold. He gilds himself to hide his defects and insecurities as a human being. And his Republican apologists and accomplices help him paint by lying about the color choice.

Words and definitions matter, but in this case playing games over “house” and “hole” does not hide the belief and intent of the speaker. Simply calls attention to his disgrace.

Some defenders have stated Trump did not refer to persons or color, just countries. When he mentioned Norway in the next breath after referring to Haiti and Africa, he clearly conflated person, ethnic origin, and country while emphasizing the unworthiness of things not golden white.

Questioners must hunt down and expose to sunlight the deceptions uttered by Trump and his defenders each time that attempted whitewashing occurs. The guilty must not be let off the fool’s gold hook on which they all should hang.

Trump’s existence is a profanity.

This was not a ‘bipartisan’ meeting. It was a GOP meeting with a single democrat.

Irks me when this term is applied cavalierly - makes a meeting/effort appear to be something it is not. The first meeting when Don asked for a bill of love - was a bipartisan meeting with multiple members/leaders from both parties. This was not.

Stupid deflection by the WH - but believable enough for “the base” - which is all they care about - and allegedly who the phrase was used to impress in the first place (ala the DontheCon bragging phone calls placed to friends just after the meeting, but before the shit(hole)storm.)

edited to add - meanwhile what’s Nunez Not up to this morning:

Cotton seems to be trying a new variant of PInocchio and lies: I swear that his neck stretched several more inches with his account of the Trump meeting.

Trump started this whole thing when he repealed DACA in order to exploit the lives of 800k some people to get money for the stupid wall.

The president convened a bipartisan group of more than two dozen members of the House and Senate in the Roosevelt Room to discuss a possible resolution for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program…

Yet over nearly an hour, and with television cameras running, Trump took nearly every conceivable position in the debate: He backed a “clean” bill to extend DACA, protect the so-called “Dreamers,” and bolster border security, absent the more controversial immigration measures conservatives want; then, he said he’d “take the heat” for a more comprehensive immigration overhaul along the lines of what Trump had denounced as a candidate in 2016; later, he demanded that Congress fund the southern border wall as part of the initial DACA deal, reinserting the wrench that has held up the immigration talks for weeks.

Finally, Trump said he’d sign whatever immigration bill Congress could send him. “I’m not saying I want this or I want that. I will sign it,” he told the group.

Didn't see the presser. Did any goddamned journalist ask Sanders about the President's committment to sign whatever Congress deemed fit to address immigration for now? Did anyone ask her how it is Democrats are at fault for stalled talks when Trump had already committed to letting Congress decide the issue, safe from any objections on his part?

I guess that’s why you ‘polled’ how WELL the ‘shthole comments’ went over before you decided to distribute talking points for ‘your’ Senators Ms. Sarah. Oh yeah. We SEE you Sarah. You’re as big as liar as everyone else in that WH and for the majority of your ‘party’. Good Americans. Good patriots. Good God.

In the much vaunted public hour, where Feinstein almost kneecapped Trump on TV, Trump clearly said he’d sign whatever the people in the room wanted. He was very clear about it. Then he said no to the bipartisan bill they offered. Did I miss something? Halp!
