About a dozen people, both Republicans and Democrats, were in the room at the time, including South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin.

So who else thinks Graham called the press faster than the RATS did??

Lindsay does have that elementary school hall monitor air about him, doesn’t he? Bet he ran to the press as fast as his fat little legs would carry him.

As for the vulgarity, he said it in a closed meeting and obviously didn't intend to say it to the general public with the naughty word.

DJT had to know this would leak out. So being a closed door meeting means nothing. At first I thought very bad for Trump and us. Now I think using the words "shithole nations" is a plus. It wakes and shakes people up and tells the truth. Dems know this shithole word is accurate. It's just that they favor immigration from such nations and not Norway for obvious reasons.

Don’t call Mexico a shithole nation. They are something like the 17th most wealthy nation and the 2nd most obese. Of course the wealth distribution is very lopsided and half of Mexico is run by narco cartels. But they are not a Haiti or Guatemala. And better off than 95% of Africa.

DHS asks State Department to suspend visas for countries who won’t accept US-deported citizens
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug 23, 2017 | Anna Giaritelli / FR Posted by 11th_VA

The Trump administration is considering suspending the visas of some citizens in countries who have “refused to accept or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals,” according to multiple reports Wednesday evening.

Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have refused to take back people in the U.S. who are in the country illegally and been cleared by immigration courts for removal, according to the Washington Times.DHS requested in a letter to the State Department that it suspend visas to some citizens from the four countries, though it’s not known who would be affected.

“When we receive such notification, the Department of State works to implement a visa suspension as expeditiously as possible in the manner the secretary determines most appropriate under the circumstances to achieve the desired goal,” a State official told Fox News. While a presidential candidate, Trump promised to take more action to get countries to take back people the U.S. sought to deport. Eight of the 20 countries that had fought the change are now working with the U.S. government to take back their citizens.

“The secretary [of State] is having conversations with those countries. We want to bring those countries into compliance. We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens,” the State official said. “We are having different levels of conversations with those countries and imposing different things upon them based on what we think will work best with those countries.” (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...

"The Democrats seem intent on having people and drugs pour into our country from the Southern Border, risking thousands of lives in the process."

All this crime--drugs, sex trafficking, shootings, robbery, etc--are the expense the American people endure so the DemonRATs can exploit a guarantied vote. The cost of all that crime is money from our taxes. The homeless epidemic is caused primarily by heroin coming from our southern border. These homeless junkies are turning our cities into shit holes. The costs of supporting these junkies is coming out of our taxes too. Pretty sick isn't it?

The Left is entrenched in Alinsky tactics. These tactics do not strive to influence thinking through reason. Instead, they strive to denigrate, intimidate, censure, bully and destroy their opponents with lies. Alinsky learned his method by studying Al Capone’s mob while at the the University of Chicago. Alinsky said this about his time with mob: “I learned a hell of a lot about the uses and abuses of power from the mob, lessons that stood me in good stead later on, when I was organizing.”

The DemonRATs are nothing more than mobsters with a veneer of respectability and an addiction for power.

Mexico is also a racist nation where the lower, darker skinned native Mexican “morenos” are dominated by the upper, lighter skinned Castizo who are descendants from Spain. It is the Castizos who are shoving out the morenos into America. This racial cleansing is never talked about by the American Left. Why not?

In my mind, President Trump called a spade a spade. From a check with Google: “To “call a spade a spade” is a figurative expression which refers to calling something “as it is”, that is, by its right or proper name, without “beating about the bush”—being outspoken about it, truthfully, frankly, and directly, even to the point of being blunt or rude, and even if the subject is considered coarse, ...”

"Sissies who have never worked on a construction site may be shocked by the way our president talks. Our president worked on construction sites for most of his life. F the sissies!"

Yes and those in certain "public service jobs" that use it as a tool of stress relief and camaraderie. What isn't said Duckworth is is that our streets are metaphorically paved with gold. I talk to parents (and the kids) that are doing missionary work, in places like Haiti. They get it after doing it.. What has me flummoxed after all our aid, and tons of our young minds going to these places to help, build and lift their spirits, nothing seems to get better.

Why? IMHO? The lack of the Rule of Law, which is where Obama was going with his edict style of rule, and no constitution like ours, and perhaps no focus on a "higher power" aka G-d.

He may have been less than what the press might deem as Presidential with the remark, but compared to Hilda's anger at the S.Service and LBJ meeting people while he is on the john, and DerSlickMyster doing what he was doing with the Intern, this is small potatoes.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,”

And Norwegians apparently.

Shouldn’t have? Let’s see, the nation is arguing about s******e countries, what constitutes a s******e country, and whether or not we should be letting in people from places that really are, whether we admit it or not, s******es.

Trump’s gonna win that argument.

You know what I call that?

Winning. Bigly,

Yeah - I’ll say it again. I was speaking about not trusting anything any third-hand person reports. What Trump said was the blunt truth. I’m not offended by that at all.

Confirmation: (all I wanted - because I hate the liars):
Trump Twitter 1/12/18 7:28AM:
“The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!”

Exactly.

I am a member, and very frequent attender of a fairly conservative, Baptist church.

I made it no secret who I backed, during the election.

I make it no secret that I LOVE what has been happening.

Some people have been turned off because Trump speaks in and of vulgar things to them.
NO DIFFERENT than the way MYSELF and my co workers talk.
ESPECIALLY when things get a little amped up,
Which is fairly regularly.

I read somewhere last year that it is estimated Trump took 1/3 of the union worker vote.
This, from a group that all you hear is Democrat, Democrat, Democrat.
There were a few guys that openly talked about liking Trump.
Or others talking about hating Hillary, which amounted to their endorsement of Trump.

Every guy in construction could smile, when Trump said “grab em by the pussy”.
That is EXACTLY what us guys would say.

More points to him for HAVING THE BALLS to say it.

In the past, WE have complained about immigration from shithole countries.
Again, he’s just saying what we think, in the ways we think and say it.
And he has the balls to actually say it.

He’s not talking like Joe Pesci, where every 3rd word is a vulgarity.
But the 24/7 media makes you think he is.

I've been to the DR, but not to Haiti.

WONDERFUL people.
But poor POOR.

Average income in the town we stayed in, was $600 A YEAR

Dirt floor shacks, usually only one or two rooms. If they have electricity, its from two common household wires, run over head, one house to another. They have 1 or 2 lights and IF LUCKY, a tv.

While there, it was oft discussed how Haiti was a 3rd world country, just in comparison to the DR.

The President is right. He didn’t say “take them out.” ;-D

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!
