Uggabugga, this is what I am taking about. See, this was a missed opportunity.

It should read: "Racist MAGAts make me ashamed to be American. Fortunately, the majority do not support The Racist and will make sure The Racist is not reelected."

Let no opportunity be missed!! Make sure everyone gets the message about racists being racist because racism!!!

Why is the right choosing to identify these four women as the controlling faction of the Democrat party -- when there are 20 other candidates who are actually trying to become the Presidential nominee?

This tactic of choosing to suggest that these four women are the head of some powerful movement to take over the country and make it socialist is very dramatic, simplistic and ridiculous.
"For 8 years the right trashed this country?" No, they did not! But Obama did. The "God Damn America" 'President.' He listened to that for over 20 years. As a young man, at Occidental, he advocated for the overthrow of the U.S. goverenment. In his own words, "We are just five days away from the fundamental transformation of the United States of America!" What did he mean? Well, anyone who knows about his past knows full well what he meant.

"Why is the right choosing to identify these four women as the controlling faction of the Democrat party?"
Because they are. The other 20 candidates are irrelevant, in terms of Party policy. Ocasio-Cortez and the other three freshmen are setting the agenda. The 20 candidates are forced to sign on, and they have. They are all pretty much in lockstep. "Free" stuff for all! Even for those who don't want to work! All have signed on to the "Green New Deal."

"Married her Dad or something?" This is a classic example of FAKE NEWS. This is just the kind of story for which the term was coined; someone claims something bad about someone with no shred of truth to it, and all the RWNJs believe it.
The allegation is that she married her brother to commit immigration fraud.

What IS known for a fact is that she committed tax fraud:
Quote:
"Minnesota campaign finance officials said last week that Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar misused campaign funds in violation of state rules. They also revealed that she had filed joint tax returns with her husband years before they were legally married and at a time when she was married to another man."

What the heck just happened to this thread?

As far as I can tell, 3 separate posts - that were pretty different - have all been tossed into one TRUMP IS RACIST thread.

Totally makes all the debates that were going on between posters incoherant.

So ... who’s the racist?

Here's a link:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...own_voice.html

Quote:
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks at Netroots Nation conference on Saturday: "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a ***** voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don't even show up because we need you to represent that voice."
Worst thread merge I've seen in a long time.
