wow trump disavows the chant

those moments when sephyg and extha will defend more of Trump's trash than he will

also in his attempt at defense Trump is trying to claim he tried to stop them from chanting it, and "started speaking very quickly"

spoilers: he didn't

Good. That chant was very hard to think of any justification for. You can't send an American citizen back to their birth country.

It is not literal.

when you're such a strong bootlicker you can go further than red sox's already incredibly imaginative talents for coming up with dumb excuses for blatant racism

It is not literal.

But, heretofore the most natural understanding, in context, of Trump's slogans has always made sense.

Build the wall means build the wall.

Lock her up means prosecute Hillary for her crimes.

Send her back means what? To her district? That can't be right, because her district sent her to Congress in the first place.
---

It means figuratively send her to the shadow realm with uh, racist rhetoric.

on more uplifting moments for Ilhan Omar

My fault. I meant, Trump's tweet regarding them wasn't literal.

Obviously, he was saying Listen, brown women in Congress metaphorically go back to the countries you originally came from and fix them firstmetaphorically.

Countries their ANCESTORS originally came from, Tony.
---

But obviously only non white people should go back where their ancestors came from, and the natives from here should absolutely not go back to where they came from if we forced their tribe to move somewhere else

What he was actually saying was if you are going to be unpatriotic and Un-american then go back to the country you are from (family wise) because you obviously don't love America.
---

Never mind that his whole campaign was about something being wrong with America
---

Nothing about any of the squad is unpatriotic or unamerican, Trump ran on the presumption America sucks ass(and that's what was popular about the slogan - the idea America is bad but could be good), and you can't just move to another country. It's blatant race baiting.

I think the lack of logic for the chant is why Trump has disavowed it.

Not really. He expressed how much he loved his country, felt he could do good for the country, how we are the best in the world, but that we are losing our way and need to return America to greatness.

Not exactly the spin you are trying to put on it.

Explain what's unamerican or unpatriotic about the squad and explain why telling minorities to get out of America, the country they are from, knowing that you cannot just move to a different country because your ancestors were from there, is not race baiting. Also explain how their desire to change America into their vision of a better America is any different a motive than your claim for what Trump desires. When Obama was president, should Trump have simply left to Scotland rather than complaining or trying to change it himself?

Can we please put scare quotes around The Squad?

This is an editorial mandate

no but I will capitalise it if that helps

why is corrik twisting himself in knots to defend something that the fucking US Government has defined as racism?

I mean, I know exactly why

but seriously, why?

If Trump was undermining the President and Obama said it, I would assume he meant the same thing. Nobody is actually expecting them to move.

It's basically just a retort. If you don't like it so much, why are you here then. / You are not patriotic.

I have heard it before in conjunction with those who burn the flag and such. It's not exactly the most original comment, tho surprising from the Presidency.

Then again, that was his appeal to many voters. He wasn't afraid to say what he felt just like them and worry about politically correct mumbo jumbo and red tape.

So, it is not surprising that many Trump supporters were very pleased with that action by Trump.

Spoilers: The reason many Trump supporters are pleased with it isn't because they think those people aren't "patriotic." They weren't chanting "Send her back" because they think she's not patriotic.

Literally nobody was surprised by his comments or said they were original or would be unappealing to his supporters and we are all aware it is a retort. It's a race baiting retort that appeals to his audience of braying hogs because they are racist, petty, and moronic. It's not "telling it like it is" or brave, it's a childish retort that hand waves away legitimate concerns by suggesting minorities should blindly worship America and lick the boot or else.

Corrik, leaving the Trump tweets aside for a second, do the chants at his rally concern you at all? A mob request to deport an American citizen because she criticizes the President

Also, for a group that loves Trump "telling it like it is", they sure don't like it when people call THEM racists.

Debate lineups are out. Bernie/Warren one day and Biden/Harris another. Guess we get a round two for those two.

Honestly, the most interesting thing about Bernie/Warren being on the same stage here is whether they'll take any steps to distinguish themselves from the other.

Good for Beto that he's moved out of Castro's firing range lol

Here's hoping Castro claws out Biden in his place!

Another fun thing to do with the if you dont like your own country go somewhere else idea is to try and make it jive with locking people up for seeking asylum

I think my new biggest pet peeve is people who confuse "jive" and "jibe." I would like to send them back to their country of origin.

Sorry, my country of origin is also America

being a great attack dog is his thing, what better demonstration than tearing down the Biden while he's still
mistakenly viewed as the king!

first debate brought him to human levels, now we go for the knock-out

Well, Omar is Muslim and Bernie is Jewish. Bernie and Trump were born in the same city (Brooklyn). Bernie has a national following.

sure, those are important reasons too.

nothing in this post is answering cyclo's question. what did any of members of "the squad" say that's "unpatriotic and unamerican"?

unless you're saying that the answer is "i don't like the US so much," in which case the bar for being unpatriotic and unamerican is ridiculously low.

It is not on me to answer that. It is a subjective question which is rooted in your own opinions. It is the fact that Trump feels it is anti-american. Just like you may not feel it is anti-american to kneel during the anthem. Others may. The point is that he thinks they have been and said that because he feels that way.

trump is outright lying about what the congresswomen said to justify his claim that they're unpatriotic and unamerican. he said "THEY THINK EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS RACIST AND EVIL" (to be specific, john kennedy said that and trump agreed with it). obviously, this is totally absurd and none of the women said anything remotely resembling this.

its literally the same tactic as hitler. as capitalism only works for the capitalists- it deflects the anger onto the other (minorities, immigrants, women, lgbt, etc.) to split the working class. the real enemy is the powerful, not the weak.

Religion really helps a lot in that regard. It's those 'Judeo-Christian' values at work. Devalue non-Christians, devalue women, devalue LGBT folks. They even found a way to justify devaluing people on the basis of the color of their skin. (Some people think that the 'mark of Cain' was blackness. (Nevermind that even if the stories were true, that Cain's line dies when Yahweh decides "Welp, time to flood everybody.")

Corrik stop being such a disingenuous moron

LITERALLY NOBODY is saying that Trump is actually trying to successfully get Omar deported. WE KNOW it's 'rhetoric'. It's fucking vile rhetoric.

Like how when I call you a dumb ass motherfucker I'm not claiming you are a donkey that likes to actually fuck his mother. Oddly enough you're only capable at understanding the "real meanings" of criticisms when it comes to defending the garbage that comes out of Trump's mouth but when it comes to the criticism your capability to derive meanings from words goes out the fucking window.

Stop twisting your brain into mush to defend shit that even Trump had to back away from, have some god damn respect for yourself because good fucking lord none of us have a single shred of it for you if you're going to keep being this willfully obtuse for your entire miserable life.

i don't even get the "trump disavows the chant" thing tbqh.

trump: omar should just leave.
crowd: yeah, get her out of here.
trump: WAHHHHH I DISAVOW THIS.

There's nothing to "get." He's just a liar.
