That just about sums it up, doesn't it? On a debate about a resolution to take an anti-racist stance, those stating their anti-racist position are called "anti-American." I made the mistake of engaging on my local news page.
BIG MISTAKE HUGE!
apparently it wasn't racist because he didnt mention their skin color, and obviously they are the bigots
TIL its only racist if you mention skin color OR you disagree with the actual racist /sarc

This clip is bananas. Here's @kellyannepolls asking a Jewish reporter "what's your ethnicity?" while trying to defend comments the president made asking women of color who serve in Congress to leave the country OMG I want to throw her into the Grand Canyon. Everything she said contradicts everything she said before it as well as policy and what has happened in active real life. Period. She is a flaming garbage fire and just like the Kardashians should not have a platform for anything.

Richard Spencer, who started the united the right rally, has called Trump's comments "Racist" and don't think they contribute to the furtherment of white nationalism. As much as I don't like what he stands for I have to applaud him seeing the difference between racism and actual hate crimes and movements.

Stick her in a basement instead somewhere, under Rischs bridge, but let us enjoy the Canyon

Scalise wants everyone to play fairly and by the rules and the majority shouldn't flaunt them and "rise above the fray"
Let me know if anyone needs the Heimlich after choking on that

PP is in danger of losing funding, clinics are being forced to close, and they need someone not afraid to get into the political fray.

Sounds like there were also some management issues - aside from philosophical differences.

Tim Kaine: The EEOC cites “go back to where you came from” as a classic form of discrimination that violates civil rights. The President’s bigoted words are so contrary to who we are as a country that we literally have laws against them.

Minorly related to anything, but Robert de Niro got nominated for an Emmy for his appearance on SNL as Robert Mueller.

Justice John Paul Stevens has passed @ 99 years of age I about had a heart attack but realized that he is a former justice and not a current one. I need for all the justices to stay alive until Liz or Kamala becomes president.

Check it out! CNN found a panel of privileged white women defending what Trump's racist comments. One of says they are a POC and a legal immigrant. The pearls.... THE PEARLS!! ROFL and they claim for 4 congresswomen are all racist because they haven't reached out to their white fellow congresspeople. These GOP women see nothing wrong with Trump's comments
Clearly we are in the UPSIDEDOWN and these women as batshit crazy.

Haven't been paying full attention since work has been nuts and N got sick again, but have we discussed how Trump being a racist jerk... again... has successfully distracted everyone from him being buddy-buddy with Epstein?
ETA: Standard disclaimer that what he said was awful, I hate that Nancy got in trouble for calling him a racist, that rule needs to change, I'm appalled but not surprised Republicans didn't vote to slap his hand over this, and he's still a racist jerk. Again.

Again. Somewhat related -- MH thinks the Kellyanne/George Conway disagreement about Trump is a charade meant to distract about from whatever heat 45 is taking at that moment.

I buy the Kellyanne and George theory. They disagree so much publicly that it's hard to imagine it having no effect on the marriage.
I definitely think Trump is distracting from Epstein. It's very gross that this is how he does it and frustrating that it works.
