Bay Area Guy said...: The "Get Trump" Squad will soon merge with the "Organization of Caribbean Anti-Shithole League" to really, I mean, really go after Trump now.

They will get shit done.; 1/12/18, 1:49 PM
Limited blogger said...: We once gave our supervisor a bag of grommets as a gift.

He was always saying his boss just 'tore him a new one'.; 1/12/18, 1:52 PM
Kevin said...: Remember when Barack Obama referred to Americans as Teabaggers in an interview?

Remember when the media didn't go ape and Dem Congresspeople didn't feel the need to distance themselves from his comment?

Remember how he wasn't called a homophobe? Or linked this to his "evolving" stance on gay marriage to show that he really, truly hated gay people?

Remember how it was just snickered at and let go?

Good times.; 1/12/18, 1:54 PM

Comanche Voter said...: Ah Susan Collins--keep clutching those pearls sweetheart.; 1/12/18, 2:00 PM
Oso Negro said...: Yes, some countries are shitholes, and their citizens want to flee. Unfortunately, they bring their same shithole cultural practices with them. We are expected by our "betters" to like this and if we do not, we are surely racists. If this doesn't stop, we are going to have another shooting war in the USA. It will be horrible.; 1/12/18, 2:02 PM
Nonapod said...: Once again, Trump easily drives the discussion in this hyper-polarized social media mob mentality era. Interesting times.; 1/12/18, 2:14 PM
Bilwick said...: Barney Frank said, "Hey, Susan, I thought we'd agreed I could be first!"

Along the lines of Kevin's post above, there's a good comment on Glenn Reynolds "Instapundit" blog. It's from blogger Matt Welsh and is accompanied by a woman wearing a pretty graphic vagina costume. Mr. Welsh's comment is, "The people who wear vagina costumes and call their opponents 'teabaggers' are super offended by Trump's vulgarity."; 1/12/18, 2:14 PM
Martin said...: I suspect that is real but the right side which probably had teh word "comment" was cripped out.

Having thought it and visualized it, I can't un-think it.

Damn!! I feel like 50 million brain cells just died.; 1/12/18, 2:19 PM

Let's be honest. Haiti is a shithole.

We should try to think of ways to help that don't involve lining the pockets of dictators and the Clinton Crime Family.; 1/12/18, 2:41 PM

“Rep. Mia Love, a Utah Republican and the only Haitian-American in Congress, called on President Donald Trump to apologize Thursday after reports said he questioned why the United States was allowing immigrants from “s---hole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.

“The president’[s] comments are unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values,” Love said in a statement, noting that her parents, Mary and Jean Maxime Bourdeau, emigrated from Haiti and made their home in America. “This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation.”

Her parents, she said, took an oath to their adopted country and “took on the responsibilities of everything that being a citizen comes with.”; 1/12/18, 2:51 PM
Matt Sablan said...: Intemperate language is a big f'ing deal.; 1/12/18, 2:54 PM
Chuck said...: Personally, I just don't care how anybody feels about Trump's comments. I just want there to be no doubt about what he said.

That is where Althouse was, a few hours ago.

If Dick Durbin (and Lindsey Graham, and others I presume) say that Trump said "shithole countries," and Trump says that he never said it, that is the story that interests me. Not because I care about "shithole countries," or the people who flee "shithole countries" or who live in "shithole countries," but rather because Donald Trump felt the need, and even the privilege, to lie about it.; 1/12/18, 2:56 PM

“New York (CNN)Private Emmanuel Mensah went off to serve in the Army National Guard, but it was back home where he made the ultimate sacrifice.

Mensah died trying to rescue people from his burning apartment building last month in the Bronx, New York, in the city's deadliest fire in more than 25 years, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

Mensah, 28, had immigrated from Ghana in Africa and was a permanent legal resident in the US. His story has taken on new meaning in the wake of President Donald Trump's reported vulgar comments about immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti and some African countries.”; 1/12/18, 2:57 PM

Then-Capt. Ademola Fabayo speaks to prospective lieutenants at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., on Nov. 9, 2012. Fabayo – a Nigerian-born American citizen – earned the Navy Cross, which is second only to the Medal of Honor in recognizing combat valor.
CHRISTOPHER ZAHN/U.S. MARINE CORPS

The bloody Sept. 8, 2009, battle in Kunar Province's village of Ganjgal is one of the U.S. military's most traumatic in the long war in Afghanistan. Five U.S. servicemembers were killed, prompting soul-searching about whether the U.S. troops in the field were adequately supported, and it led to two Medals of Honor - the nation's highest award for valor in combat.

But the battle also is something else: A lesson in how the U.S. military is a kaleidoscope of cultures, races and religions, with units pulling together to meet common goals under occasionally brutal circumstances.

That reminder seems timely following a Washington Post report Thursday that said that during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers focused on immigration reform, President Donald Trump asked of people from African countries, El Salvador and Haiti: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"“; 1/12/18, 2:59 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “U.S. Sen. Tim Scott said he talked to fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham about hearing President Donald Trump's "shithole countries" comment and Graham confirmed to him the president said it.

Graham, Scott said, told him the reported comments are “basically accurate.”

“If that comment is accurate, the comment is incredibly disappointing,” Scott also told The Post and Courier on Friday morning.”

Why? Perhaps because Haiti was and is indeed a shithole?; 1/12/18, 3:03 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Intemperate language is a big f'ing deal.”

It’s not the intemperate language, it’s the blatant racism.

Why do we need more Haitians? We should have more people from Norway.”
Trump; 1/12/18, 3:05 PM
Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan said...: I am impressed that Trump was able to piss off both Ann Coulter and Mia Love on the same issue. That takes some serious skills, my man, serious skills.

Mia Love:

The President'[s] comments are unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values. This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation. My parents came from one of those countries, took an oath of allegiance to it, and took on the responsibilities of everything that being a citizen comes with. They never took a thing from our federal government. They worked hard, paid taxes, and rose from nothing to take care of and provide opportunities for their children. They taught their children to do the same. That’s the American Dream. The President must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned.; 1/12/18, 3:08 PM
Mark said...: These idiots are really clueless as to how all this backfires on them. Just as they expressed faux outrage by saying "pussy" over and over and over and over and over, by going 24/7 with repeating "shithole" over and over and over and over, they've proven to the world that they are not outraged at all, but instead get some sort of perverse juvenile pleasure out of it. And it isn't making Trump look bad, it's only making CNN, et al. to be what they keep repeating.

I mean, do they really think that in condemning Trump, by repeating "shithole" over and over and over and over people will suddenly be drawn to CNN? They will say, that's the kind of news organization I want to listen to?; 1/12/18, 3:11 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Why? Perhaps because Haiti was and is indeed a shithole”?

Has it occurred to you that it’s not the fact that the countries in question may indeed be shitholes, he’s denigrating the PEOPLE who come from those countries. Stop dancing around what Trump was getting at. We all know what he meant, even you Trumpists. You agree with him on the caliber of immigrants coming from those countries and revel in his bigotry.; 1/12/18, 3:11 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: Where is George Carlin when you need him.

JohnofAustria said...: Oh no, a President who accurately describes things. Whatever will we do?

I propose we change our immigration policy to accept only people from places to which liberals say they will flee.; 1/12/18, 3:18 PM
Jim at said...: I love getting lectured by shitholes like Inga.

For, it's not the country. It's the people.; 1/12/18, 3:21 PM
Sebastian said...: Wait, I thought El Salvador was such an awful country that people fleeing an earthquake there still cannot possible return 16 years after the fact, for fear of ruin.; 1/12/18, 3:22 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: Its interesting how Trumpists are trying to say that everyone is upset over the use of the word shithole by the President in an effort to distract from it’s true meaning. It’s not the use of the word shithole and you know it. It’s basically referring to the people that come from those countries as shit.

“Why do we need more Haitians? We should have more people from Norway.”
Trump; 1/12/18, 3:23 PM
Fabi said...: "We all know what he meant, even you Trumpists."

Inga the mind reader! Why don't we wait and find out what he really said before you divine what we all knew he meant about something he may or may not have said.; 1/12/18, 3:25 PM
Sebastian said...: Prog logic: it would be evil to make illegal aliens return to their shithole countries of origin; but calling those countries shitholes is evil.; 1/12/18, 3:27 PM

Durbin and Scott have said what was reported about what he said was true.

Michael said...: Inga

Why, then, did he not single out the other side of the island of Hispaniola? The people of the Dominican Republic live on the same island and are brown and black people. They don't live in a shit hole.

And do you think it is a good thing for African Americans to have competing black people come into the country? Blacks without resentments about slavery? Blacks who bust their asses to succeed often at the expense of African American competitors? While it is so satisfying to call up the "racist" insult, the fact is that curtailing African and Haitian immigrants is likely a boon to American blacks.; 1/12/18, 3:30 PM
Vance said...: Inga fled the last thread when it got to uncomfortable, including her racist statements that people from Haiti are more deserving to come to America than Norwegians.

She did acknowledge that the only reason she cares is because she can bash Trump as a racist without any attempt at all in explaining why Trump is wrong to want Norwegians instead of a people who cannot even use a toilet (literally--Port au Prince, the capital of Haiti, does not have a sewer system.)

Further, she admitted that she wants to keep out Norwegians (Icky Whites! The Horror!) while admitting gang raping Muslims by the tens of millions and Haitians and everyone else who cannot function in American society without becoming criminals and turning violent.

The Democrat party openly admitted they only want immigrants to come here to vote Democrat; they do not care at all about them other than that. Inga and her buddy Chuck are the same way: More immigrants means it's racist to be against them.

That's the only reason, right Inga, to not want a people that the US Navy has to hose down with salt water to try to stop disease from piles of crap they leave everywhere. Literally.

How about we import a whole bunch of Haitians and put them in your house, Inga? To poop on your floors and lawn and infect your children with diseases, like has happened every where Haitian refugees end up. Guess that's your real desire here.

--Vance; 1/12/18, 3:31 PM
Jim at said...: I also love the blatant dishonesty from the left.

Trump spends a good portion of his day - Wednesday - with the Prime Minister of Norway. Even has a presser with him.

Next day, Trump makes comparisons between shithole nations and a nation fresh on his mind? Why, that's racist.

Here's a pro-tip, leftists:
If everything is racist, nothing is.; 1/12/18, 3:31 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: I have been to Norway. Norway is NOT a shithole.; 1/12/18, 3:33 PM
Bilwick said...: Tsk, tsk, guys. Don't expect logic from Inga. That's cruel. Besides, logic is only a tool of the white patriarchy.; 1/12/18, 3:34 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Norway is NOT a shithole”

Exactly.; 1/12/18, 3:34 PM
Francisco D said...: I see that the cut and paste queen has her virtual scissors on hand.

It's very difficult to have an intelligent discussion with someone who has neither digested nor understood the information they put forth, often in a manner than hides the context and meaning.; 1/12/18, 3:36 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: It’s logical to vote for a bigot when one is a bigot. Hence logical Trump voters.; 1/12/18, 3:36 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “I see that the cut and paste queen has her virtual scissors on hand.”

I see the fraud who says he’s a psychologist still is obsessed.; 1/12/18, 3:37 PM
Fabi said...: "Basically accurate."

Why the modifier for accurate? Accuracy is binary -- it is or it isn't. "Basically accurate" means it isn't. Lulz; 1/12/18, 3:40 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: “Norway is NOT a shithole”

Exactly.

I have been to Haiti and it is still a shithole.; 1/12/18, 3:40 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “I see that the cut and paste queen has her virtual scissors on hand.”

Have you ever read the book “Running with Scissors” or see the movie Francisco? You could’ve played the part of the psychologist, you’re a natural for the part.; 1/12/18, 3:42 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “I have been to Haiti and it is still a shithole.”

No one is saying it isn’t. But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings. Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs.; 1/12/18, 3:45 PM
Fabi said...: "But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings."

Did Trump say they weren't human or declare them "shit"? No.; 1/12/18, 3:48 PM
Michael said...: How is it helpful to African Americans to have black immigrants from the third world suddenly become qualified affirmative action candidates? I can see how it might be helpful to the Democrat party, but not to African Americans.

Can you help me out with this, Inga?; 1/12/18, 3:48 PM
Michael said...: Is it possible that Inga and her cohorts prefer non American black people? Could it be that they are less, how shall I put this, intimidating, less demanding, less threatening? More compliant? More grateful?; 1/12/18, 3:51 PM
Curious George said...: "Inga said...
No one is saying it isn’t. But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings. Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs."

Achilles said...: Inga said...
Its interesting how Trumpists are trying to say that everyone is upset over the use of the word shithole by the President in an effort to distract from it’s true meaning.

Inga descends into blatant dishonesty. Unexpectedly.

When you can’t rationally discuss a topic decent people admit it. Leftists just start lying and calling their opponents racist. You are not a good person.

The best thing for Haiti would be to take all of their corrupt leftist leaders and the Clinton cronies and hang them. We will need to do the same here at some point to avoid Haiti’s(and Detroit’s) date.; 1/12/18, 3:53 PM
Wince said...: "Go figure it, a guy like Moyez living in some subterranean shit hole...all the while he's walking around with $15 million in the bank."; 1/12/18, 3:54 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “Did Trump say they weren't human or declare them "shit"? No.”

Not in so many words. His meaning was very clear to most rational people.; 1/12/18, 3:54 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “You are not a good person.”

Coming from an unstable extremist.; 1/12/18, 3:55 PM
Gahrie said...: No one is saying it isn’t.

Yes they are...that's the whole point of being offended at Trump for supposedly telling the truth about places like Haiti....it's a truth you aren't allowed to talk about.

But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings.

Human beings who created the shitholes they live in.

Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs.

Actually given the tribal and insular nature of those societies, my humanity is better than theirs.

Now my intrinsic value as a human being is the same as theirs.; 1/12/18, 3:57 PM

"No one is saying it isn’t. But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings. Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs."

Igna, my DNA builds a better human being than theirs does. By my lights. Your mileage may differ. Especially after those Muslims finish corn-holing you.

Get it through your head, we're not one big happy family here. The Europeans wiped out the native Americans. Do you think the native Americans were happy about being wiped out? Did they get warm fuzzy Igna feelings watching their children die? No, I think for all their faults, they were probably a better model than you are.; 1/12/18, 3:58 PM

“I have been to Haiti and it is still a shithole.”

No one is saying it isn’t. But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings. Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs.

If you were honest you would admit that is what trump said.; 1/12/18, 3:58 PM

If you weren’t a Trump sycophant who is a seriously confused young man who has fallen prey to extremism, you’d see the truth of the matter.; 1/12/18, 4:02 PM
Achilles said...: dreams said...
I'm afraid the crooked Dems and the crooked liberal media are going to get Trump killed.

I don’t think they succeed.

But if they do that will be when the real fun and games start. The army would be involved by the end. Trump is very popular in the Army.; 1/12/18, 4:03 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: Inga said
No one is saying it isn’t. But the PEOPLE from those shitholes are not shit, they are human beings. Your humanity isn’t any better than theirs.

There is a reason why Norway is not a shithole but Haiti is.

It's the same reason that the DR is not a shithole but Haiti is.

My humanity is just fine. Thanks for your concern. Not that I want or need it.; 1/12/18, 4:03 PM
Gahrie said...: Not in so many words. His meaning was very clear to the Left.; 1/12/18, 4:04 PM

White supremacy in action, building better human beings.; 1/12/18, 4:09 PM
Jupiter said...: Inga said...

"My concern was for the people who come from those shithole countries, NOT you."

Yes, we grasp that you are deeply concerned about the welfare of people in other countries and could not care less about the welfare of the people already in your own, unless they happen to have arrived recently. We're just having a hard time understanding why that is.

And what's with the pink poodle? "One sick puppy"?; 1/12/18, 4:12 PM
Achilles said...: Inga said...
“If you were honest you would admit that is what trump said.”

If you weren’t a Trump sycophant who is a seriously confused young man who has fallen prey to extremism, you’d see the truth of the matter.

His own words:

“Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians.”

Even Jake Tapper at CNN admitted that shithole had nothing to do with Haiti.

But the truth doesn’t matter to you. I am not really interested in trying to find common ground with the anti-Trump crowd. You are disgusting people. You know that the Clintons raped Haiti and helped make it a shithole but you only care about the accurate description of the country because you can twist it and get more power over other people.; 1/12/18, 4:12 PM
MountainMan said...: Trump is evil incarnate but when our golden-throated former president used similar language everyone was OK with it.

You have concern for the people from Shithole countries? Good on you. Me too. It would be horrible, deplorable even, to live in one of those places. But how is that your problem? Or mine?; 1/12/18, 4:13 PM

I note some words missing from this condemnation. Words like "incorrect", or "wrong".; 1/12/18, 4:21 PM
Achilles said...: Inga said...
It’s logical to vote for a bigot when one is a bigot. Hence logical Trump voters.

Make no mistake this conflict is existential. Inga and her fellow travelers will never allow us to live free. They will say anything and do anything to make us live under their rule. They have been like this for years. The name changes but the results are the same. Kulaks, Jews, Trumpists. They always have a target. Socialist communist progressive same same. The violence they are committing and condoning is just what they do.

Haiti is living under Clinton cronies. The Clintons used the US army to install a government and they have been running a slush fund through that country. Democrats literally turned Haiti into a shithole and enriched themselves doing it. But Inga cares as much about actual Haitians as she does about the truth.; 1/12/18, 4:22 PM
Night Owl said...: Trump is vulgar. He's a native New Yorker and we're vulgar people-- yes, even the upper West-side Manhattan-born snobs. As an example, growing up in Brooklyn, I often heard the word "shithead" used as a term of endearment, as in "come ova hee-ya, ya little shithead, and gimme a fuhkin' hug."

But lots of people, not just NYers use the word "shithole" to describe third world countries. Get ova it, youse shitheads.; 1/12/18, 4:22 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “But how is that your problem? Or mine?”

Do you consider yourself a decent moral human being? If so then think about how you and your fellow Trumpists speak and act. Indecent would be more apt. Deplorable even, but is it too late to redeem yourselves? I hope not. There were Republican voters in Alabama who remembered that they cherished their decency more than their politics. What do you cherish more, your human decency or being Trumpists?; 1/12/18, 4:22 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: Inga said......

My concern was for the people who come from those shithole countries, NOT you.

A few comments ago you agreed that such places were shitholes. Most rational people are very clear about the meaning of your racist and bigoted statement.; 1/12/18, 4:23 PM
Achilles said...: Michael said...

Inga

You have concern for the people from Shithole countries?

If she actually cared she would accept the accurate description of their country as it has become at the hands of the Clintons and do something about it. She would rather lie about what was said and use it as a tool to gain more power over other people.; 1/12/18, 4:27 PM
gnome said...: It's a little indiscriminate to refer to African nations as shitholes. I tend to think of the Northern African ones as medieval hellholes and only the sub-Saharan ones as shitholes.

"Do you consider yourself a decent moral human being?"

No. I don't kid myself, like you do. I consider myself a Father first, a husband second, a citizen third and a killer ape when push comes to shove. Which it does with depressing regularity, especially in societies with a lot of "diversity". Those "vibrant minorities" have a way of sticking a gun in your face. They can't build one, but they can use one.

You are a lot like me. You would prefer that the bad things that happen in this world don't happen to you. The difference is that you also want to feel good about what a wonderful person you are, without actually making any personal sacrifices. So you adopt high-minded "moral" positions that you expect others to pay for.

Leigh said...: @Mark's comment re media's unceasing repetition of "pussy, pussy" and now "shithole, shithole." This reminds me of Scott Adams's observation that media's constant repetition of Trump's "very stable genius" tweet just reinforced in people's minds that Trump is a genius; the only question is whether his genius is "very stable." Per Adams, "very stable genius" makes people "think past the sale."

Now the media is repeating that some countries are shitholes. That just serves to reinforce Trump's "shithole" claim -- and on close examination, "shithole" holds true for many of these countries. Haitians in Miami will attest to the shit-holiness in their home country, thanks to the Clintons.

And we don't get many immigrants from non-shit-hole, well-functioning, peaceful countries, now do we? Indeed, non-shit-hole, well-functioning, peaceful countries won't even take most immigrants, even U.S. citizens. Ever tried to immigrate to Canada without having a net worth well north of $1M or a firm job offer? Media won't tell you this, but forget about it. Ain't happening.

Comey tweeted the "tired huddled masses" statue of Liberty quote, which characterizes immigrants as "wretched refuse."

A Republican congresscritter had used the word "niggardly" to describe the amount of funds appropriated for some purpose. One of the less well educated Democrat (but then I repeat myself) Congressscritters promptly shrieked that use of the word "niggardly" was RACIST!!!!!!!.

But Inga when you use the word denigrate--do you mean that you intend to give a formerly black person from Haiti a bleach job? That's the kind of question that somebody with the brainpower of say Hank Johnson (Guam will capsize if you put one more soldier on the island) or Jim Clybourn might ask.

Leigh up above has a point---most Western countries e.g. Canada have a merit based evaluation for accepting or rejecting potential immigrants.
