“Many are speculating that this ‘sh**hole’ story was drummed up to distract from Project Veritas’ bombshell undercover video exposing Twitter’s tactics to ban people who support Trump.”
 
Misfire. This is and remains subject specific - Trump has systematically undercut the Dem bargaining positions on the immigration issue - this is now convenient to bring out and spread around to try and undercut the President, give cover to dodge responsibility of negotiation failure, and pin the stink of legislative failure on the President. They're trying to out-Trump Trump and gain some fabricated moral high ground PR advantage.

I think he said something similar, or as some have said he said it but not about Haiti. I think during the election he called some country a hellh*le so possibly that is what he said instead of what they are claiming. He admitted he talked rough, he just denied they were accurate about what he said.

Didn’t O call Libya a $hitst*rm? I guess that is okay because it was O.

The former top commissar of Meh-e-coh, Vicente Fox, today defended his shithole state of Meh-e-coh when not even addressed by Trump. Fox got the one up on Trump by prempting him and admitting to the world the sad state of the failed country.

So what if he did say it? If the countries were heaven on earth, they wouldn’t want to come here would they?

IIRC, there have been any number of presidents in my lifetime that used cuss words in “private” meetings. Does Dick Durbin seriously want us to believe he has never used a cuss word?

Wouldn’t be my choice of words, but it is the blunt truth, there are countries in the world that are hell on earth, and run by tyrants.

Rule Number 4.

Ignore it. Limbaugh had a great riff on this and how it is no big deal...leftists have us all marinating in their filth and vulgarity and now are using Rule number 4.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

I despise Alinsky’s rules for radicals and everything Alinsky stood for. He actually stood for nothing but gaining power and keeping it.

The Left are always Liars, they must lie to gain and keep power. They have no other choice, if they don’t lie, no one would vote for them.

Not only the Left, but all forms of Totalitarianism are Evil.

Progressive
Socialist
Marxist
Fascist
Communist
Dictator
Islamist
Bureaucrap

ALL forms of Totalitarianism are Evil!

All True.

Oh, foul language? Hillary is one of the worst. Just ask the Secret Service. Or just ask BJ Clinton.

Also Lyndon Johnson. Talk about foul. That fact is legend in Texas.

Couldn’t agree more and the web will undoubtedly catch some on both sides which will benefit us all....funny how the hunters are sniffing the wind and finding out they have now become the hunted - kind of like the Big White Hunter that got taken out by a raptor on one of the Jurassic movies....oops....

Suddenly the FBI can do no wrong. Why, it destroys their morale to even suggest out loud that they might be mistaken about something. Until the MSM starts reviling the FBI publicly again, and concocting conspiracy theories about them, they are suspected members of the deep state.
