The Trump Presidency 15

[Babbylonian]

Breaking: House passes resolution condemning President Trump's comments. Republicans Will Hurd, Brian Fitzpatrick, Fred Upton and Susan Brooks and independent Justin Amash joined Democrats in voting for the resolution, which passed 240-187.

Wow. Four whole Republicans. Another proud day for the GOP.

 

[Delphic Oracle]

It was quite a raucous ride to get there, though.

Cleaver abandoned the chair, obscure rules about not being able to call a spade a spade, volleys of accusations, what a mess.

Respect to the individuals, though. The German moron in the White House will not be happy about them.

I legit wonder who the first Republican that Trump tries/succeed to kick out of the Party is gonna be.

 

[Stacyhs]

Expect to see TrumpTweets attacking those 4 GOPs and Amash any time now. Because you know they're coming.

 

[Steve]

Agreed.

The GOP "leadership" is pathetic.

Along with every member of the party and everyone who has voted for them and does not speak out against their rampant racism.

 

[Paul2]

Under House rules, you explicitly can't say the President said something racist:



Linky.

I'd love to see the exact text of that House rule, and some confirmation that, apparently, it was passed when the Dems took over the House.

That part.

One could describe her loyalty to the contract and the effort she goes to defend the president as a strong character trait and demonstrates initiative.

One could also say sawing off your own foot is a way to spend a pleasant afternoon.

Precedent is a broken reed when Trump is involved.

There may be cultures that think that. There have been societies that have placed a premium on a duty to defend one's boss.

Führerprinzip comes to mind.

Their relationship is traditional : Trump initiates, Conway responds (or at least pretends to).

 

[BobTheCoward]

Exactly. Loyalty commonly reoccurs as a positive character trait.

 

[Trebuchet]

I suspect that her point during the interview was supposed to be that everyone has somewhere other then the US that they're "from" if you go back in their family tree, so anyone can go "back where they came from" regardless of race.
It was still stupid.

More likely, she knew the reporter was Jewish and was then going to claim the four Congresswomen were anti-Semites because they don't wholeheartedly support Israel.

Another sad day for the Party of Lincoln.
I think you can see smoke rising from Honest Abe's tomb in Springfield Illinois at what Dishonest Don is doing to his party.
It's the GOP turning into something as subservient to Dear Leader as the Reichstag in the 1930"s that I find very dangerous to our democracy.
I am sorry, but I do not see a peaceful, not violent ending to this. The rot in the GOP has gone to far. They will do anything to stay in power. Time to give serious thought to the reset option in the declration of Independence.

Have fun, guy;you are getting your own version of Donnie with Boris.

Yeah, answering an ethnic slur with another ethnic slur is the way to go.

If that was her plan, and I really hadn't thought of that, then I'd say she was racist.

I don't know if that was her plan, however. The attempted point fizzled in a pile of crap, whatever it was.

Yes, and they were called Nazis.
