I linked it later, but I think the OP is pretty obvious that it was his comments at CPAC - which was also in the headlines all day yesterday.

You trying to cover yourself now? Again - you had no idea what comments I was referring to before you went into hyper-partisan defend-Trump mode.

He will carry this bullshit on for another 200 posts, it's his leitmotif.

I read the news - these were both prominent stories. Do you think I'm making these things up?

I'm always kind of amazed when someone calls for links for stuff like this, which is in the headlines. Maybe you guys really don't read or watch anything outside of the right-wing bubble?

Was your mouth open?

Sure. Lying is the kind of thing you do when you change posts and say "I know, right?"

But it's not what I did.

You did lie by quoting Trump out of context. It is why you won't put up the full context and content.

He clearly referenced his campaign, which the poem was about illegals, and then recited it again.

If you had a modicum of honesty, you could admit this.

Well, I guess that might be true - except for the part where he prefaces the comments with "think of it in terms of immigration"...

did he say "legal immigration?" he left it as "immigration"..
so the serious thing to do is to look at his positions/prior statements on immigration.

he's excoriated criminal illegal aliens and the damage they do..why do you need to widen it out past there
when he's not gone after legal immigrants as a problem. There is a need to reform immigration ( merit based)
but he's never called legal immigrants anything close to"snakes"

He has called some of their countries s-holes.

Please. Enough w/ this. You even go so far as to insert "criminal" with illegal - NEITHER of which he qualified.

My whole OP is about the tone of CPAC - which is getting a lot of media coverage, btw. It was negative & intolerant. Trump is a xenophobe, and he prefaced his "Snake" recitation by telling the audience to think of it in terms of immigration.

Case closed. I'm not going to keep going on & on about this. You admitted that you had no idea what remarks were being discussed.

shit holes go to quotas.
Illegal aliens are an economic threat- taking good jobs.
Criminal illegals are a security threat.

These are not difficult concepts.

With the bolded, you're mischaracterizing those remarks. He asked "Why do we want these people coming here?" He didn't limit it to a discussion around quotas.

gawd almighty..immigration limits are all about quotas..in this case more about restoring protections for immigrants from countries who had temporary protected status, which he had revoked.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” he said, suggesting the U.S. bring more immigrants from places like Norway, according to the Post.

I said he likened immigrants to snakes. By his own words, this is what he did.

It's just odd that you're still calling that a "lie." Not even his wonderful Grindness disputed that. These threads always surprise me; they get caught up in minutiae that I never expected, because I always think anyone who posts on a political message board actually reads or watches the news.

They don't seem to know the definition of "liken", as in "allegorize", "compare", "equate", or many others.

trump allegorized and compared immigrants to snakes. Case closed.
