Trump's 's-hole' comments typify how the GOP uses immigration to energize its base

Like so much else, there is only hearsay.

[SteveinSATX]

I really don’t care if Trump said it or not but either way, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because I’ve yet to hear a single Trump hater accurately describe what he says, it’s always what he says and what “THEY” say he says, and it’s always wrong, 100% guaranteed all of the time.

No,the base is energizing the GOP on this issue.

Trump trolls better than any angler on the planet. Durban has said the bipartisan agreement went out the window with the "sh*thole" comments, so the budget is at risk.

Now the Demos will shut down the government in defense of sh*thole countries. Lmao, sh*thole included.

[SuperLuminal]

Whatever he said or didn’t say...Works for me!

[livius]

I think he may have said it in some way, that is, “well, these countries are ****holes,” or something like that. But be that as it may, he was right, and that’s what they don’t want to discuss.

We have given huge amounts of money to Haiti - and even if much of it was stolen by the Clinton foundation - but they still don’t have potable water or a sewage system, since all of the money has been stolen by the bureaucrats or the foreign rich (such as Clinton). The same is true with virtually every other African country, and most of the leftist Latin American countries.

Actually, most of Mexico, including Mexico City, doesn’t have potable water, although there’s a lot of wealth in the country and no reason they couldn’t build good water systems. Except that they don’t want to, because some bureaucrat probably owns the local water delivery system.

The people in these countries are trying to escape because their countries are dysfunctional, UN/US funded countries where there is no accountability, and something has got to be done about it. Essentially, the US is an escape valve for those countries.

And that’s got to stop and these countries have got to start being held accountable for their mismanagement. Especially since they’re doing it with mostly our “foreign aid” money.

NBC news is a real sh**hole.

[ManHunter]

Trump’s comments don’t “typify” anything dipshit, they represent and reflect our frustration with our tax dollars buying votes for the Progressive/Communist/Democrat Party.

[usurper]

Now Republicans need to ask themselves: How low are you willing to go?

We are just getting started snaperhead. The days of the dems selling out our country are OVER.

BTW: You can call us all the names you want, we don't care anymore butt munch.

Has Graham publicly confirmed that he personally heard Trump make the comment? I thought I read that Graham has made no public statement.

Graham told Tim Scott and Scott told a South Carolina newspaper. Graham confirmed Trump's "shithole" remark to Tim Scott

[DoodleDawg]

Graham and Flake say that Durbin TOLD them it happened.

Graham was in the room. He was there when it happened and confirmed it to other Senators.

[DoodleDawg]

Flake was not in the meeting so his opinion does not count.

Graham was there. Nobody who was in the room is confirming Trump's side of the story. They all say he said it or they say they don't remember.

[Fantasywriter]

So Graham has *not* publicly confirmed that he personally heard Trump make the comment.

[KittenClaws]

Now the Demos will shut down the government in defense of sh*thole countries. Lmao, sh*thole included.

Anti white and anti America jacks up the dem’s base.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Trump being Trump—Use comment as a carrot and stick—just as he did the ones at Rocketman Kim—now they are talking. This used to mold the immigration debate to his way of thinking. Watch—it will work too. I bet we will see a picture of Kim and Trump shaking hands soon (with Putin in the background). Trump will get our prisoners out and ship food in. North Korea will open up and become a tourist site.

Please don't export your primitivism

Under colonialism, advanced cultures export their governance to relatively primitive societies, gradually bringing them into the modern world. This was found to be exploitative and disrespectful of primitive values.

So we stopped, if not always voluntarily.

Primitive societies generally have proved unable on their own to produce modern culture without colonial masters, but feel they have a right to that culture. Their solution to the problem is to export the people to the governance, illegally if necessary, bringing primitivism's degradation to advanced societies.

It seems better for all concerned if the primitives stayed at home while upgrading to modernity under control of advanced culture. Call it neocolonialism.

Come to think of it, Bush's New Wilsonian dreams of exporting democracy at gunpoint were a step in that direction.

Something has to give. There isn't room in the northern hemisphere for everyone in the southern.

[DoodleDawg]

So Graham has *not* publicly confirmed that he personally heard Trump make the comment.

If you want think that then go right ahead. But the fact is that nobody in that room has come out and said Trump didn't say what Durbin claims he said. Loyalty doesn't seem to be the order of the day here.

[Fantasywriter]

The statement I posted is true. If it isn’t, then post a link to Graham’ s public confirmation that he heard Trump say what lying Durban claims he said. Flake hardly counts; he’s so consumed with Trump-hate that his brain is melting.
