BigRedBuster Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Let's not pretend that immigrants have been welcomed with open arms in the past. I think Polish and Italian immigrants particularly would not say they felt welcome. The difference now is, that "not being welcome" is coming from the top of the heap in the oval office. 2 Link to comment

Looks like there is a bus in the back, I could be wrong, maybe two or three of them. It has been awhile since I taught this but I think this was like late 40's? And we are shocked when we see militant Islamic terrorist teaching 5 year olds how to shoot a gun at some guy tied up and teach them hatred - and rightly so. But we have had our own history to deal with that is filled wt similar hate. These pictures display it clearly. 2 Link to comment

zoogs Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Plus, it's not even going to work: https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/pro-trump-media-bristles-as-john-kelly-limits-what-gets-to Quote Cernovich said he's not worried about the choking of information lanes to Trump because, "if it's good enough, Don Jr. will give it to him." The source close to the administration confirmed that fact, though with a far different response. "Don Jr. is a huge problem," the source said, saying he passes questionable articles to the president. "He needs to be a galaxy away from that place." Even if it did -- why should General Kelly be the one who gets to decide this? This is cartoonish incompetence. Link to comment
TGHusker Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Any wonder why Trump didn't strongly denounce the alt right protestors. They would be 'his army' if he were impeached. I can imply that from Roger Stone - trumps inner voice: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-adviser-roger-stone-warns-091246640.html One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has warned a bloody civil war would erupt if the US President was impeached. Roger Stone predicted "an insurrection like you've never seen" if politicians sought to remove the US leader from the White House and claimed any politician who voted to topple him "would be endangering their own life". Talk of impeachment has endured throughout Mr Trump's presidency amid allegations of collusion between Russia and the billionaire Republican's election campaign. Support for his removal from office has risen to 40 per cent among the American public, according to a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) earlier this month. But Mr Stone, a long-time Trump confidant and former official in Richard Nixon's administration, suggested impeachment proceedings would lead to an armed uprising among the President's supporters. "Try to impeach him, just try it. You will have a spasm of violence in this country, an insurrection like you’ve never seen," he told entertainment website, TMZ. "The people will not stand for impeachment. A politician that votes for it would be endangering their own life." Asked if he believed there would be "some sort of civil war" if the President was impeached, he replied: "Yes, that's what I think will happen. "Both sides are heavily armed... There would be violence on both sides." The Republican strategist and self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" claimed he was "not advocating violence" but "predicting it". Mr Stone, who was an adviser to Mr Trump's presidential campaign and is thought to still speak to him regularly, said: "The people who are calling for impeachment are the people who didn't vote for him. They need to get over it, they lost." He added: "Sorry, he whipped Hillary Clinton's ass. It's over, you lost." A former US labour secretary this week became the latest high-profile Trump critic to call for his impeachment. Robert Reich said the President was a "clear and present danger to America" and must be removed from office. Democrat Representative Steve Cohen last week said he intended to introduce articles of impeachment against Mr Trump over his response to white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Like I've said before, I want this idiot out of office. BUT....if he is impeached, it needs to be for something so obvious to a vast majority of Americans that it's without question he should be gone. There would be the total idiots like the KKK or Nazi's that will try to cause problems no matter when it's done. He's the first President in almost a century that has given them any kind of support.

zoogs Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yeah, there is NOTHING he could do to cause Trump's army to abandon him. But for the rest of us... It should already be obvious by now. It should have been obvious this time last year. It should have been obvious last November. The fact that it's not means, I fear, that the vast majority of Americans do not want to come around. What "question" can there possibly remain? Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 How much of a difference would the reaction be to these: Trump is impeached Trump loses the 2020 election ans he screams that it was rigged and the fake news/Dems/Ukrainians worked to overthrow him ? Link to comment
