Once again, President Trump has flaunted his scorn for the media-defined norms of the American political conversation. Under those informal rules, Republicans can be labeled racists with impunity and America can be trashed as irredeemably racist, evil, and shameful. But any criticism of people of color for expressing such views is racist, as Nancy Pelosi discovered so recently.
Many Republicans have internalized these norms, knowing that their colleagues in professions dominated by an educated and credentialed workforce have scorn for Trumps attacks on the four freshman congresswomen Nancy Pelosi ruefully dubbed The Squad. Their neighbors in upscale communities are equally likely to be aghast that anyone would mention that people who frequently proclaim a racial and ethnic identity that sets them apart from just plain Americans would be reminded that, unlike Communist East Germany for instance, they are free to leave. And they can come back after showing how well their ideas work in places they imply America has impoverished and oppressed.
President Trump has, from the beginning of his campaign, cared not a whit about the criticism he receives for violating those norms. He believes that those rules of the game slant the conversation toward victories for the Left, eagerly enforced by the Mainstream Media, academia, and the cultural institutions dominated by progressives.
He also knows that people who already believe him to be a vulgar, racist, unacceptable occupant of the White House (as Ilham Omar called him yesterday, unwilling to concede that he is a lawfully-elected president) will criticize anything he says. So, there is no loss to him in provoking that camp.
The key group that he must worry about are the undecided voters who swing elections, and the much-vaunted suburban women, who shun harshness and who live in neighborhoods where Trump may be less than popular.

Also Republicans must not fight back in any way, even to the slightest degree. Any resistance will cause an enraged freak-out reaction, which the MSM will amplify.
George W. Bush was a fervent believer in the "informal rules."
The diddly squat squad
Liberals are free to criticize at will but how dare conservatives criticize them.
For the photoshop experts can you type in Motel6 on Ilhan’s towel.

I agree, my wife wishes he wouldn't call people sleazebags, doesn't think that's the right language, but she will enthusiastically vote for him over the radicals.
Not so much as a scintilla of evidence to support this. Trump won precisely because those women voted for him over sick sad Cankles 2:1. They voted for him then, theyre gonna vote for him again when the opposition is hoodrats raising their hands to give free medical care to illegal immigrants, when this suburban woman cant afford to have her kids cavity fixed.
Jihad Squad
No, not “Meet the Squad” unless you are referring to a Nazi, Communist or ISIS execution squad.
They should be referred to as “The Squatters” as in my friend Liz Warren, AKA among Indian tribes as “She who squats with buffalos”.
These women would have been great at Auschwitz, the Mt. Scopus Massacre of over 50 Jewish medical students in Israel during the war for independence, Potma slave labor camp complex in Siberia, Lil Kim’s family personal gulag known as No. Korea, Red China’s genocide against the Tibetanese, Castro’s firing squads and torture house led by Che (Colin Kaeperknicks’s favor guy), Hoxha’s Albanian House of Pain and Death, the Ortega Brothers secret torture and execution cells in Nicaragua, and the ISIS and Iranian torture and mass murder “bread and circuses” shows.
These people are psychopathologically “sick” and need to be politically destroyed like the rabid/feral rats that they are.
“Suburban mothers” are finally waking up as to just how sick and dangerous they are, TO THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN MAY ONE DAY DISAGREE WITH THESE “SQUATTERS” AND SUFFER BADLY FROM IT.
Remember, ANTIFA is nothing but the street arm of these traitors and they know where you live. Just ask Tucker Carlson.
LOL! I thought it was a marshmallow.
The Cleopatra hat
I like that too.

And Joni Ernst and Kevin McCarthy have proved themselves disloyal, and thus expendable.
The news headlines popping up on my iPhone all refer to POTUS Trump’s “racist” Tweets, EVERY time.
Unfortunately, most folks don’t bother to actually research what was actually Tweeted by POTUS Trump, but rely on the DNC Media Headlines to inform themselves.
Seeking out the Truth in our Republic shouldn’t be a difficult task, but the DNC Media makes it so.
I wish more people would understand that fact.
I have to wonder if God has not sent Trump, like Samson, to take down the temple of the wicked.
“He also knows that people who already believe him to be a vulgar, racist, unacceptable ‘occupant of the White House’ (as Ilham Omar called him yesterday, unwilling to concede that he is a lawfully-elected president) will criticize anything he says. So, there is no loss to him in provoking that camp.”
In for a penny, in for a pound. lol.
It’s a Tiger by the toe
They aren’t just Fake News, they are The Fake News DNC Media Propaganda Machine. They prove it over and over again.
Can’t wait until POTUS Trump’s Rally tomorrow. It will be like pouring Nitroglycerine into the fire.
