Have they already labeled Trump a racist? If not they will soon.

That is the equivalent of communist in the McArthy era. For all the mind numbed robots, young skulls full of mush, recent products of public screwl edumacations and those in Rio Linda, the McArthy era was when we nearly self-destructed in the 50s because people got it in their minds there was a communist behind every tree and all you had to do to destroy someone was to claim he was a communist. Countless innocent lives were ruined.

I’m railing against stupidity today over the freaks who know and care nothing for either history or tradition. The fools who are so stupid they mistake a peace monument for a civil war monument and tear it down, for the fools who destroy works of art that they otherwise know nothing of nor take notice of until their feeble little minds are whipped into a frenzy of hatred. They don’t even know how frail and easily led their little minds are nor that they are merely useful idiots who will be killed by their own masters if it is ever expedient.

The other side of skin heads, white supremacists and true racists are equally to blame for this current shame.

Trump is right.

His was only a comparison. They have since proved they are in fact whores. Between the whores of government and them I am not sure which is worse.

That’s the trouble with comparing politicians to prostitutes.
The next day you have to turn around and apologize to them.

I have more respect for actual prostitutes. Even skanky, dried up crack-whores ...

She would do less damage to the world selling $5 BJs on the streetcorner.

More likely they are sluts. A slut will do it with anyone BUT YOU.

Prostitutes are ALWAYS trying to get more for less. The homely toothless meth head gets very little but Lady Gaga and the top presstitutes get 10's of millions.

True. Most of the time the MSM gives it away for free as long as it helps leftist causes.

Truman is one of only a few truly great U.S. Presidents.

Truman and Reagan were the only Great Presidents of the 20th century.

Truman likened the press to whores. Reagan likened politicians to whores. Both were right.

And to think we desire to return to the press of that time when in fact it appears they are the same today as yesterday.

Truman may have been a New Deal liberal, but he had no use for Communist sympathizers or for social radicals. If he ran for President today, he'd probably be considered a right of center Republican.

The old-school "liberal" is now a thing of the past - they've been replaced by Neo-Marxist radicals and by militant anti-white bigots.

The snowflakes freak-out as if Trump is an anomaly.
No, we have had several Presidents in the past (Truman
and Jackson come to mind) who were Trump-like in various
respects.

These people are just wholly ignorant of history.

He was wrong.

Prostitutes do it for the money. Whores do it because they’re mentally deficient. The msm are whores.

I’d argue that the press is far worse. Prostitutes are actually doing the job they’re supposed to be doing.

In “That Hideous Strength” by CS Lewis, he opines that the only part of the newspaper not packed with lies is the Sports Page - and the SP was the only page honest average Brits ever read.
