Holy 'Holes'

"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here." - President Donald Trump (Allegedly)

Trump denies saying it.  Republicans in the meeting where it was supposedly said say he didn't say it...But Democrat Senator Dick'Head' Durbin says he did say it - and he leaked it to the press.

It sounds like the way Trump would ask this question, so let's just assume he did say it.

"President Donald Trump is absolutely right. Africa is a continent of shit...When you have heads of state who mess with the constitutions to perpetuate their power. When you have rebel factions that kill children, disembowel women as saints, who mutilate innocent civilians. Frankly, it must be said that it's crap." - Mamady Traore (West African Sociologist)

"The idea that you are not allowed to say that they’re pretty crummy countries, Haiti for example or El Salvador, I’ve been in both of them - that’s why people are leaving them to come here…So I don’t understand what the sin is. You’re not allowed to point out that other countries aren’t as good places to live as America?...The people who left those countries, some of them rode trains all the way through Mexico or they hid in the wheel well of a plane to leave, they would agree with that. So why the outrage?...You have to lie and pretend...We’ve gotten to a place where no one can be honest about anything." – Tucker Carlson

Truthfully, I'm praying he did say it.  And I'm hoping he's smart enough to force an answer out of Congress when it comes to the matter, because the reality is we don't need any more people coming to America who have nothing to offer it...Remember, our immigration policy is supposed to help Americans - work, add to the economy, pay taxes, etc.  It is not a welfare program for the worlds worst off.

And his question wasn't just about Africa or Asia or South America.  It was about all of the world - most of which is a "shithole"!

For those who are offended by Trump's profanity (or mine), get over yourself.  He talks like we all talk, and I don't want to hear the 'He isn't speaking presidential' BS...He was in a private meeting, and Dick'Head' Durbin is the one who decided to run out to the press with it.

Also, don't kid yourself for a minute into thinking Trump is the first Prez who's ever spoken like this...Every President in modern memory has - including Obama.  If anything, Trump is quite tame compared to some of our better cursing Presidents.

Here's just one article about this topic.

So back to the original issue:  We better all hope and pray Trump, or someone with half a brain, is thinking about the people we let in the U.S.  Because if we don't get control of it soon, we are going to become just like the countries all of these people are fleeing.
