Yep, if these are lands of sunshine and happiness, then why are people desperate to leave?

[mowowie]

the repubs want to lose for the same reason i wish i had a job that payed very well with zero responsibility.

What a bunch of loafs that occupy the senate. I have no problem with the President said or didn’t say in a closed meeting. This guy Flake needs to go, as well as Turbin Durbin!

[shelterguy]

“”””Sen. @JeffFlake to me just now:

“The words used by the president — as related to me directly following the meeting by those in attendance “”””””

As related to me???? In plain English he meant to say.... I heard some gossip from some of my fellow Trump hating democrats......

Flake, let me help you again with what President Trump is doing:

[AndyJackson]

Yes, I am not sure I see the downside to Trump admitting he said what is already on everyone's mind and what most of us have said from time to time in colloquial conversation.

So I presume Trump is telling the truth that, regrettably, he cannot take credit for the words attributed to him and that these folks are lying. Did Kelly find another WH leaker?

"The most disheartening thing to me is, my belief that, that was the first time words that hateful have been spoken in the Oval Office of the White House," Sen. Dick Durbin says http://cbsn.ws/2mngMu4

Dick don't know Jack. LBJ alone said things that make the "S**thole" comment look like Sunday School talk by comparison.

I wonder if Trump wants to drop the whole DACA deal entirely, and this is just a good excuse to walk away from the Senators who are running the charade on that side of Congress.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I knew that nothing good would come from that confab.
There are currently just 4 Senators marginally on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
Cotton, Grassley, Paul and Cruz.
That’s it.
The rest are on the side of illegal aliens and their employers.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

It's not good to give the media a full night to call you racist without rebuttal.

That is just laughable.

[\/\/ayne]

Is there anyone who is not an imbecilic, rage-filled Trump hater who "heard" it?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[chris37]

I’m sorry, Jeffy, but hearsay is inadmissible .

[dfwgator]

"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who heard Trump say 'shithole'...I guess it's pretty serious."

[jospehm20]

I like turd world dumps myself.

[Sacajaweau]

Where do they get hateful out of that?

It's like me telling my kid that his room looks like a pigpen. That's certainly not hateful.

[TheStickman]

Cuz’ ol’ Senator Flakey is Captain reliable lololololololol

[Gasshog]

Go Trump! Tell it like it is. Shove the PC crap up theirs!

This is nearly as good as all the money I am making in the market this month.

Winning!

What a bunch of loafs that occupy the senate. I have no problem with the President said or didn’t say in a closed meeting. This guy Flake needs to go, as well as Turbin Durbin! This is what the media reports as news now??? I guess they heard of what LBJ used to say in his meetings!

[wiseprince]

Trump just said those weren’t the words used. That can mean anything. He’s just saying they didn’t get the quote 100% correct. I personally don’t care, he happens to make a very valid point.
