And the continuous divisiveness, hate, bigotry, and malice that it takes to author tweets like this daily does not frighten you at all? smh
Cut and paste from a different thread - hope you do not mind OCD. So ... AOC was born and raised in New York and she's not white. What would any of you do if your kids went on a tirade about another person they met - and based on the color of their skin told them to go back "to where you come from " .... ? I know what the hell I would tell my kids and the discussion that would ensue. It's despicable. It's most definitely racist. And this is our POTUS ... and I have no doubt the Trump stooges will be applauding. Just wow.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

There's no excuse for it. But we both know people will make one up or try to find one. And most of the very same people will vote for him again. It's obvious the type of people he's really trying to cater to with this. But the GOP seems to be fine with it.

No its not acceptable but the problem is most of them in DC do/say things like that. We need to set term limits for all of Congress and to regulate the lobbying. I think Trump says/does a lot of stupid things but the reason I am for him is that I wanted someone who was not a career politician in charge for once, I think that is the only way we can clear up this mess.

The problem is, there are a lot of fine human beings to choose from that are not politicians. Upstanding people who do not say vile things and attempt to constantly divide our people through their rhetoric.
I can understand the idea of not wanting just another career politician. But the lengths you went to in order to accomplish that was terrible.
And no, most in DC do not say things like that. You may find a few, but not the many you claim.

I disagree, While I find some of the things Trump says or does despicable he does do some good things and I think he's done a good job at running the country plus I think that if Hillary had won this country we would be in an even bigger mess both in how the country is running and in the Political aspect.

No, this is not acceptable. It's racist (all but one who he is targeting with this tweet were born in America). Omar is the only one who was born abroad, however, she is a US citizen just as much as you and I. So, it is horrible, disgusting and appalling that this is even acceptable. It's also sexist as he often targets women and, in particular, women of color. The Republican Party should have the back bone to denounce this immediately. Whether or not they will remains to be seen.

Anti-Americans are 100% of the Democratic Party with a lot of Republicans too. This makes no sense. It’s not surprising coming from Sir Likeshisownposts. So as to not confuse you. Something can not be 100% something’s fault... but also some other things fault too. 100% means all. So if the Republicans are ‘a lot’ of the anti Americans then it’s impossible for the Dems to be 100% at fault. Did you not learn this basic stuff in school. Or did you go to Wharton, or trump U? I ask because you communicate as coherently as the turd in chief. Or are you implying that all Democrats are anti American. If so that’s as absurd as claiming trump isn’t racist.

I don't see anything racist. He is merely telling them to put up or shut up. He is telling them to go back to their district and fix things up so great so you cna show the rest of us how its done. Of course people like AOC couldn't manage a lemonade stand let alone fix a Congressional District.
Even Pelosi doesn't like these 4 morons. Thankfully they are one term and outs they won't get back in, the Democratic Party higher ups will ensure that.

I do not like the personal attacks in Trump's twitter. There is no place for that. But, I also do not like all of the hate I see coming from the left. They can say anything they want about Trump, Republicans, and conservatives. If Trump, a Republican, or a conservative say anything they disagree with they scream racists, bigot, etc....
For crying out loud many democrats are so small in their thinking they refuse to visit the White House when they win championships. Grow up!
If you do not like the President it is OK to disagree with him and debate what is right and wrong. But, this 3 years fit throwing exercise from the left is beyond tiring.

Anti-Americans are 100% of the Democratic Party with a lot of Republicans too. Anti-Americans... if you are not with trump you are Anti-Americans. If you are not a bigot you are Anti-Americans. If you want change that helps people you are Anti-Americans. More divisive rhetoric from the Trump camp and the brown shirts love it... smh SuperBrown (shirt) doesn't have a clue what it is to be a true American. He thinks Trumps hate is true American. If it were not so childishly small minded and pathetic, it would be laughable. But this "Anti-American" Potus is killing democracy one subpar intelect at a time.

So, the people that call everyone that disagrees with them racists, bigots, homophobes, misogynists, etc., are always given a pass, but the rest of us are just supposed to accept it. These 4 dems in question are the most antisemitic people in congress. The dems will vote them in over and over again if they get the chance, and never see their hypocrisy.

President Trump should attack socialism as anti-american and not the individual. I agree with that.
What I do not agree with is his comments as racist or sexiest where progressives always run to for protection.
These freshman congresswomen are grown ups and have thrown quite a few stones themselves. They have thrown hate at Jewish people and have no room to scream racist in my opinion.

One thing we can all agree on is that if anybody needs proof of our broken system the Twitter war between Trump, Pelosi and AOC is it. Instead of tweeting at each other perhaps it would be best to sit down and actually discuss how to work together to solve the issues at the border. First world problems = Social Media feuds/wars. Meanwhile, people are inhumanely imprisoned and dying on the border.

Its just sad that our political establishment has turned into this nonsense. Disagreement is a vital cog in the political machine that moves this country forward.
It is absolutely essential that people from both sides work together to produce solutions that can be acceptable to those from both sides of the aisle.
But the past decades have seen political discourse fall into a state of continual quarreling over which side is incapable of reasonable discourse....
Newsflash.
At this point, neither side is trying to address contemporary issues with the harmonious coordination that is necessary to steer the US towards a prosperous future. Neither side wants to concede an inch, while they repeatedly point fingers across the aisle for the current state of affairs.
The left and the right both share the core common characteristics required for progress....they are both made up of politically-minded human-beings, supposedly committed to public service.
However, it seems the whole of American political culture has devolved into tit-for-tat stupidity that places more value on assigning blame, discrediting opposing opinions through endless quibbling without any regard for reasoned discourse, and instead focusing on a deluge of unsubstantiated half-truths and audacious misrepresentations...
Its become a grade-school debate and the moderators are out to lunch. And the American people just eat it up...
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

The even sadder part of all this....If you apply for a professional job of some kind in todays society, they will frequently background check your social media.
If you behave online ANYTHING like our govt officials do, you will never have another professional job again.
