Monday Open Thread | Trump has been bashing the U.S. for years

Posted on July 22, 2019 by SouthernGirl2

Trump has CONNED the hell out of white America, pretending he’s so patriotic, hugging the flag, while accusing 4 Congresswomen of color for talking down about America when he is the one who has bashed America into the ground. Be aware of those draping themselves in the flag and accusing others of not being patriots. He showed the world who he’s beholden to by siding with Russia over US intelligence agencies in Helsinki. He stole his way into the White House! He GOT y’all! And he and Putin must be laughing it up at how he has hoodwinked America.

The president spent the week blasting four minority congresswomen — three born in the United States and the fourth a naturalized citizen — saying they should “go back” to where they came from because they’ve criticized the U.S.

But do you know who’s sounded a lot like a hater of the U.S. himself, over and over again? President Trump.

He has a long history of bashing America, its leadership and its people. He even wrote an entire book, “Crippled America,” about all the problems he’s had with this country, setting himself up to “make America great again.”

We took a spin through the archives of Trump speeches and media appearances and put together a far from complete compendium of the unkind words Donald Trump has had for the US of A, some of which even came since he moved into the Oval Office.

    The Trump admin’s new “expedited removal” rule should terrify us all. It will allow ICE officers to approach ANYBODY in the U.S. (w/o probable cause) & demand they prove they’re a citizen or have been in the US for 2 years. If they can’t, they’re deported.

      “..A Washington, D.C. police officer has been taken off patrol and placed on administrative duty after colleagues reported he’d threatened to shoot First Lady Michelle Obama.

      The Washington Post, which first reported the story, cites several police officials.

      The officer being investigated had worked as an escort for several official movements, the Post reported, and had allegedly shown to several of his fellow officers a photo of the gun he would use to attack the first lady.

      “We received an allegation that inappropriate comments were made. We are currently investigating the nature of those comments,” D.C. Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump told POLITICO.

      https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/politics/first-lady-michelle-obama-threat-dc-officer-162280566.html

      “..An MPD officer with the department’s special operations division is allegedly being investigated by his own department …The officer in question, who is now on desk duty and is a 17-year veteran, has occasionally served on Mrs. Obama’s motorcycle escort.

      The Washington Post says the threats were made Wednesday, during a discussion among officers about White House security. The Post also reports the officer used his phone to show a picture of the gun he would use.

      Sources tell ABC News the remarks, while offensive, appear to be an off-hand comment, perhaps intended as a joke.

      A White House spokesman said President Barack Obama was also aware of the investigation but had nothing to say about it, and he referred questions to the Secret Service.

      Ordinarily, a verbal threat directed at the president can result in a felony charge.

      Sources tell ABC News the officer will likely face administrative action, versus criminal charges…”

      “…A District police officer accused of threatening Michelle Obama has been cleared of administrative charges related to the first lady but was found guilty of posting a derogatory job description on social media and depicting the president as a communist, his attorney said Monday.

      Members of a departmental review board ruled that Christopher Picciano, a 17-year veteran who was a member of the elite presidential motorcade detail, should be suspended without pay for 40 days for conduct unbecoming an officer. His attorney, James W. Pressler, said his client is weighing an appeal. The city had sought to have Picciano fired.

      “We’re pleased that he was exonerated of all allegations that he made threats against the first lady,” Pressler said. “He has maintained from the beginning that it was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke.”

      But during the investigation, detectives found troubling though unrelated postings on the officer’s LinkedIn and Facebook accounts.

      Those included a communist emblem — a hammer and sickle — superimposed over a campaign poster of President Obama and Picciano’s self-described job description as “zoo keeper of the MPD.” Angry with the D.C. Council over a vote to curtail pension benefits, Picciano wrote on Facebook about taking a rifle to a tall building.

      Pressler described the postings as social media musings that weren’t to be taken seriously, though panel members expressed concern during the May hearing about Picciano’s fitness for duty.

      Picciano, who has been working in evidence control for the past several months, would like to remain a police officer in the District but has given up on returning to the motorcycle unit that escorted the president and other dignitaries around Washington. “Realistically, I don’t think he has that expectation,” Pressler said…”

        Al Franken was also seriously considered a dark horse favorite presidential candidate… and the quickness to take him out at the knees by several of those who were also launching a run, even though couched (unconvincingly) in ‘protecting women/disgust at predators’ etc., was anything but..

        It was all brazen self-interest …Flagrant opportunism lamely masquerading as ‘principle’..

        Bolstered of course by the selectively raucous crowd of ‘feminists’ …who pick and choose when to speak out on stuff …and who to defend, and who to take out..

        Same folks who ironically are so much more outspoken, outraged and wildly offended by any ‘slut-shaming’ of the imported Birther 3rd wife, than they have ever been of actual sustained dehumanizing racist attacks on the historic black First Lady..

        None of the Dems in Congress who were calling on Franken to resign had one lick of evidence. And, they wonder why I never send them one, red penny! They can keep begging. I’ll support individual Dem pols, but the DNC and DCCC can forget about me giving them anything. I was more than fed up with them when PBO was in office and they failed to give him their full support.

    What drove the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer into Al Franken denialism?
    In a startling turn, the ordinarily terrific reporter Jane Mayer veers deep into Al Franken truther territory
    AMANDA MARCOTTE
    JULY 22, 2019 8:00PM (UTC)

    The defenders of Sen. Al Franken are perhaps the single most embarrassing group of allegedly progressive people in the Democratic coalition. Franken, who resigned from the Senate in January 2018, was accused by eight different women of sexual impropriety. Most of these accusations were both serious and credible, in that the women making them were mostly liberals who had no apparent reason to lie about Franken’s behavior toward them. Despite this, Franken’s defenders are married to the delusional belief that it’s all just a frame-up and that if he’d had “due process” in the form of a Senate ethics investigation (run by Republicans, who control that chamber) he would have somehow managed to prove this.

    Now, in a truly baffling move, New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer — who has an otherwise excellent record of exposing sexual harassment and abuse — has put out a frankly hackish piece defending Franken and giving ammunition to a year and a half of bad-faith arguments coming from his defenders who really ought to know better. In a lengthy article that’s framed as if it were an exposé, Mayer gives grist to conspiracy theories that paint Franken as a victim and minimizes the fact that he was accused of groping by four women — two of whom put their names to the accusations — and of forcible kissing by two other women. She makes great hay out of how some women remain anonymous, gliding past the fact that while the journalists who interviewed them did not share their names publicly, they have confirmed their identities.

    The focus of Mayer’s article, like the focus of the incoherent conspiracy theories that preceded it, is the role of a woman named Leeann Tweeden, who kicked off the cascade of accusations against Franken by sharing a photograph in which he appears to be pretending to honk her breasts while she’s asleep. The photo gave credence to Tweeden’s claims that Franken groped and kissed her against her will.

    Mayer presents a strong case that Tweeden’s accusations are false. At best they were result of a miscommunication but more likely they reflect the fact that Tweeden is a right-wing operative who has, in the past, elevated the false accusation that Barack Obama faked his birth certificate.

    The problem here, however, is that even if the first accusation was an old-fashioned right wing rat-f*cking, the next seven accusations were not. The accusers were, in order: A fan of Franken’s who said he grabbed her butt during a photo, two women who say Franken groped them at fundraising events, a soldier who says Franken groped her during a USO event, another progressive politician who says he forcibly kissed her, a Democratic aide who says he tried to kiss her, and an Atlantic writer who objected to the way Franken grabbed her waist.

      The Democrats sacrificed a good senator based on allegations from several women, allegations that can never be proved one way or the other, to show their allegiance to #MeToo. It was a rush to judgement led by an opportunist who saw herself as the logical heir to Hillary Clinton, and #MeToo was going to launch her presidential campaign. Kirsten Gillibrand, the #MeToo warrior, fierce defender of women’s rights, blah blah blah.

      Well, as it turns out, very few people are interested in Kirsten Gillibrand’s campaign and she really ought to end it along with all the other zero and one percenters who are clogging up the race.

        Gillibrand is not so much being blacklisted for Al Franken, as much as she’s being punished for publicly invoking Bill Clinton’s shenanigans and declaring when asked, that Bill Clinton should’ve resigned, too..

        Where she was once favored by the Clintons (who can forget how the Clintons hand-picked Gillibrand and blocked Caroline Kennedy’s senate ambitions for daring to support then candidate Obama over Hills)

        ..And favored by association by the Clinton crowd at large, of course – ‘feminists’, deep pocket donors etc., Gillibrand immediately became persona non grata and instantly shunned …and is now at the receiving end of the Clinton wrath..

        The Clinton crowd shifted their support to the other woman who also very callously and opportunistically threw Al Franken under the bus..

        Only difference is that unlike Gillibrand, she didn’t have the guts to also call out Bill Clinton’s even more appalling behavior.. And so is now rewarded by the Clinton crowd ..

        This was never about principle or integrity or doing the right thing …or defending women..

      I’ve previously shared some of this stuff with the fam..

      FYI, Susie Buell Tompkins – co-founder of the NorthFace and Esprit clothing brands – is one of Hillary’s best friends, and a Clinton megadonor … She like the other now largely mute and MIA Clinton ‘bestie’, Lynn de Rothschild, also hated/hates the Obamas with a passion.. but also expected them – no, demanded – that they get on the campaign trail in 2016 to get bestie Hills elected..

      “…Democratic Donor Who Shunned Kirsten Gillibrand Over Al Franken Backs Kamala Harris. Susie Buell Tompkins decried Gillibrand’s push for Franken to quit the Senate. But Harris also called for him to resign.

      Susie Tompkins Buell became one of the first high-profile Democratic donors to publicly condemn Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for the role she played in calls that led Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) to resign his seat amid sexual misconduct allegations.

      Buell, a prominent California fundraiser … has just days after Franken left office, made national news, highlighting the lingering support from him ― and anger at Gillibrand ― among some members of the Democratic donor class.

      “I have supported [Gillibrand] for many years. Will I going forward? To be determined,” Buell told The New York Times in January 2018. She added that she was also considering whether to withdraw support from other Democratic senators who had joined Gillibrand in saying Franken needed to go.

      Yet last week, Buell went ahead and announced that she was supporting Sen. Kamala Harris of California in the already crowded field for the Democratic presidential nomination. Her backing comes despite the fact that Harris also called for Franken’s resignation.

      Gillibrand has largely borne alone the brunt of the criticism over the forced departure of Franken, who was popular among the Democratic base for his often biting criticisms of President Donald Trump.

      Her party colleagues ― including other 2020 presidential contenders ― have not faced the same blame over their stance on Franken.

      Harris’ campaign declined to comment on Buell’s criticisms and whether Gillibrand has been unfairly singled out on the Franken issue.

      Gillibrand has long been one of the most outspoken members of Congress on issues of sexual assault and harassment, pushing for reforms on campuses and the military. In November 2017, she earned a reputation for being willing to call out members of her own party when she said Bill Clinton should have resigned as president over his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky…”

    Trump Administration Announces Changes to Citizenship Test

    Yesterday 1:06pm

    Because the white nationalists immigration hardliners in the executive branch just can’t help themselves from showing their true colors, Trump administration officials announced major changes to the mandatory test required to become a naturalized citizen of the U.S.

    In a statement Friday, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday that it will revise the agency’s ten-question civics test that our “stable genius” president probably couldn’t pass even if a family-size bucket of original recipe KFC was riding on it.

    “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is revising the current naturalization test with improvements to ensure it continues to serve as an accurate measure of a naturalization applicant’s civics knowledge and that it reflects best practices in adult education assessments,” the statement read. “The goal is to create a meaningful, uniform, and efficient test that will assess applicants’ knowledge and understanding of U.S. history, government and values.”

      It all got even more ramped-up years ago once the media started their coordinated scare drumbeat of how America was projected to become a ‘minority-majority’ country by year 2030..

      And then media proceeded to put out periodic editorials wondering if minorities when they become the majority, would subject the formerly white majority to the same discriminatory mistreatment that white folks routinely and generally mêted out to them..

      It was a barely disguised dog-whistle rallying call … And they all responded just as expected..

    Love It or Leave It: An Open Invitation to Racists, White Nationalists and Supremacists to Leave America
    BY Spandan

    Dear racists, white supremacists, white nationalists and accomplices:

    You have heard your president, and from the rally chants you have been feeding him back, you are in love with his message about America: love it or leave it. But if you really, truly agree with his message, it’s time for you to pack your bags and get a one-way ticket out of this country. You hate America, and you need to leave.

    Don’t you see? America has rejected your beliefs – and you have rejected what America stands for – over and over.

    Your ideological ancestors got their asses kicked in the Civil War by American patriots who wouldn’t stand for your temper tantrum to allow you to secede just because these ideological ancestors of yours thought white people should be able to own black people. You can whine about confederate statues all you want. You can put as many confederate bumper stickers as you want right above your truck nuts. But the fact remains that your side committed actual treason – took up arms against the United States – and lost. Your love affair with the symbols of traitors and losers is in reality a symptom of the fact that you don’t love America.

    So, leave.

      Go away, Kirsten Gillibrand, just go away.

      From the article,…the Presidential candidacy of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been plagued by questions about her role as the first of three dozen Democratic senators to demand Franken’s resignation. Gillibrand has cast herself as a feminist champion of “zero tolerance” toward sexual impropriety, but Democratic donors sympathetic to Franken have stunted her fund-raising and, Gillibrand says, tried to “intimidate” her “into silence.”

    It is always nice to see HRC getting any of the massive credit due her. After all, the main reason the VRWC kept her in their sights is because they recognized the very real and capable threat she posed to their long term agendas by not just her foresight but also her ability to find and then show a better path. They had to destroy her credibility, they had to destroy her in all ways, yet she never gave up, and in the end it still took Russia and Comey to cost her an election where she STILL managed 3 million more votes than the “winner”.

    HRC was and is a hero of mine, she deserves not just mad respect, but all honours as well. The greatest tragedy politically of my lifetime for the western world I would submit is the way craven and venal white people allowed their fears to be so manipulated they allowed their greatest political enemy of the Cold War to “elect” their President. NO ONE who believes in democracy should EVER find such a thing acceptable. That shows the GOP truly is the party of treason because for them it ended up being better red than led by a domestic political party and leader like HRC.

    The world suffered a loss beyond words when Vlad’s candidate won the election with GOP blessings all because they feared one woman. One can judge a person by the nature and quality of their enemies, and HRC on that front has the best references possible IMNSHO.

      In case you don’t understand the demographics of Prince George’s County, not only does it have a large Black population. That population is among the most educated in all the United States. Telling a room full of Black Professionals that they should be happy for a warehouse?

      They got away easy with their death threats on the historic black First Lady.. while her husband was Commander in Chief, and presided over much of the various arms of government..

      Nothing’s stopping them now that one of their very own racist white supremacists – installed by a hostile foreign entity, now reigns supreme – and has very publicly given them license to do as they please..

    Dems condemn Trump’s actions as racist and refocus debate on “kitchen table” issues. But more voices now tell 2020ers that’s not enough – they need to speak directly to their racial vision to combat Trump’s white ID ptx. This is the kitchen table, they say

      A glaringly calculating, empty fraud.. a vacuous, soulless film flam artist.. Just like her adulterous multi-divorced, geriatric con of a sugar-daddy turned husband.. two shallow, ignorant, narcissistic, criminal, character-deficient peas in a pod… both of them ..so vacant and dishonest and callously self-involved – with little intelligence or substance between them.. fake/fraudulent riches, with no formal education, and no intelligence or heart to speak of – or to make something of the opportunity afforded …hollow, self-serving gauche nouveau ‘riche’..

      The vapid Birther 3rd wife’s laurels …Not even one charity had her on the board, nor is she known to have aligned herself with any humanitarian cause whatsoever (unlike other kept women who at least tried to get off their tush every so often to give the perception of ‘heart’/‘caring’… or at a minimum, try to look like they were at least justifying their existence). But then, she and the rest of the treasonous kkklan embody the very worst qualities – flaunting dubiously amassed high-ticket material stuff and disposables, all while being as cheap, ungenerous and as tightfisted as Scrooge..

      This surgically remade cheap, plastic, uneducated imported eurotrash moll, botoxed into stupid, self-serving robot status, is the perfect match to the crass, dumb, incurious aging narcissist..

      America has truly fallen to a heartbreaking basement low..

      A traitorous ignoramus with the limited vocabulary of a delayed 6 year old and the intellectual depth of a gnat, squats in America’s WH, courtesy of Vlad, along with his even more illiterate, dumb, shallow, soulless moll turned 3rd wife …with all of the equivalent of a high school diploma..

      America has become a caricature of itself.. with vapidity the order of the day.. and integrity, character, decency, real class, intelligence, empathy …all falling under the rubric of things folks can all but ignore for now …and at the rate things are playing out and being reframed as part of a sustained gaslighting effort, probably, forever..

      If by “trophy wife” one means illiterate, plastic surgery reconstructed and extensively augmented face and body, with overdose of Botox, fillers, oversized silicone ‘kidneys’ – of which there’ve been multiple iterations, including those courtesy of the American taxpayer, colored contacts …with almost no original body parts left, then I suppose ..

      But a trophy wife is typically something the procurer is very proud of, and one the procurer believes that other shallow men will envy him for having..

      But not even the treasonous buffoon is proud of his cheap acquisition of a 3rd wife …he doesn’t even want to be around her, and very few envy him having her …and even fewer are interested in her..

      This vapid pos is not even up to snuff to even be designated as ‘trophy’ .. ‘Trophy’ wives at least typically have something going for them: youth, talent.. some perceived superficial ‘value’.. And for what it’s worth, trophy wives are acquisitions that the procurer proudly flaunts.. But even with all the cosmetic surgeries and a 24/7, endlessly monomaniacal obsession with, and a complete devotion to the exterior – designer wardrobe, endless fittings, make-up, full-body plastic surgeries, the woman still has zero appeal.. is only more robotic and stiffer than a corpse – a Walmart mannequin is far more interesting, has far more appeal, far more substance, more humanity and so much more going for it..

      But for some reason, this vapid, vile, pathological liar of an imported euro trash Russian asset, in her mangled English, gets to have a public forum to demand to see the birth certificate of the historic President..

      For years she brazenly lied about having a college degree, which she did not, lied about speaking 5 languages – which she clearly doesn’t. Not even a rudimentary grasp of the French, Italian or German she and her fans previously boasted she was fluent in – besides of course the hello, and a couple of trite phrases every tourist knows..

      Without prompting, she brazenly lied as she puffed-up, narcissistically boasted to Matt Lauer that she’d written her convention speech herself – until it was found to be plagiarized from the historic black FLOTUS – and the callous, self-absorbed, lying Birther then turned around and blamed it on a speechwriter..

      She boasted about immigrating to America “the right way”, (a lie), while insisting that those brought to the U.S as children (mostly brown and other minorities, who only realized later as young adults that they were undocumented), be deported back to their parents’ countries of origin. And when asked, she insisted that anti-Semitic and violent death threats by her Alt-Right supporters, directed at a female Jewish journalist who investigated and reported that she didn’t have a college degree (and that she had an out of wedlock half-brother back in Slovenia – courtesy of her also very dubious father), were ‘provoked’ by the female Jewish journalist-victim herself..

      Designer accoutrements and endless primping, do not cover up an insecure, vacant, evil soul. Neither do blatant lies about nonexistent college degrees or lies about being a polyglot, compensate for a glaring lack. Nor do hooking up with a dubiously ‘wealthy’ married, treasonous geriatric adulterous con man..

      The double Ivy League educated historic black First Lady would never have gotten away with even a millionth of this… and in the eyes of even some of the ‘leading’ politicos and media types, she – even after proving herself again and again, still remains to this day, ‘suspect’ and ‘unworthy’… and ‘other’… while these folks consider the imported, congenital liar of a moll turned 3rd wife, somehow, more ‘deserving’, more ‘worthy’, more ‘entitled’ and even more hierarchically ‘American’ than the upstanding, double Ivy League educated direct descendant of slaves who legitimately and honestly, by dint of hard work, pulled herself up by her bootstraps and not only did good, but excelled by every metric..

      And all these politicos/media types – white supremacists and alt-right sympathizers, all; …racist in slant and mindset.. there’s little doubt the effect their racially-skewed perspective on their tone and their coverage.. with their barely disguised desperate attempts at coddling and repeatedly absolving the imported birther 3rd wife and her megalomaniac traitorous procurer …forcibly trying to normalize and legitimize her and him …and allowing her and him, endless do-overs.. with slate wiped glean again and again..

      Just for good measure, imagine what a young, proud, unapologetically black, dark skinned student like a Michelle Robinson had to contend with at Harvard Law, with a so-called ‘liberal’ professor like Alan Dershowitz.. a man who values and endlessly kisses up to all manner of dubious types as long as they’re white… included that procured by his fellow dubious Lolita-revelers and their procured …including an imported euro trash moll of questionable character; all while he’s openly contemptuous and condescending to the honorable American-born, direct descendant of slaves who’s walked her talk with integrity and dignity, and done everything by the book..
