Trump Refuses to Disavow Death Threats Against Ilhan Omar

[_Gunnar]

Trump continues to get more and more despicable and hateful.

Yawn

And this kind of blindly indifferent attitude from his sycophantic, willfully ignorant base is one of the biggest reasons why.

Trump's idiotic supporters are idiotic because they don't see how empty everything they have to say really is.

What they have to say about Clinton: empty. What they have to say about corruption: empty. What they have to say about reality: empty. Etc.

They're damned useless to talk to, because they're idiots, liars and assholes, the worst possible combination.

People keep telling me they voted for Trump because they're hurting. Christ, I hope so. They deserve to hurt.

Well if you're looking for the deplorables to be hurting, I'm afraid you're going to be waiting a little longer. I didn't expect we would have a champion arrive on the scene with this level of guts and political savy.

I think it's a hoot how the Trumpers have turned from victory laps over Barr's "no collusion" caca to "Obama did it!" And how many have read the report? Very few. They're used to getting their hateful nonsense spoonfed through Rush, Ann and Sean. They're listeners and obeyers, not readers and thinkers.

Just read the report, folks. It's all there. And watch this and remember. How does this fit in with the Obama whataboutism? Answer: it doesn't. More lies by Trump and lies for him by his lying followers.

I wish Hamas and the Israeli government would get together and work towards relieving the suffering, hardship and injustice to which Palestinians are continually being subjected.

It's the Jews fault Gunnar. Maybe someday you can find a final solution to the Jewish question.

Nice to see you showing your true colors. I do consider an out Nazi superior to a closeted one.

Omar justly criticized Netanyahu's bigotry, hard right conservatism and corruption, which about half, If not more of, Israeli voters are also critical of and disgusted with. She was not speaking out against Jews as a people. It is not anti-Semitism to justly criticize faulty Israeli government policies that even a large proportion of Israelis are themselves critical of. What Ilhan Omar was guilty of, if anything, was a poor choice of wording.

This doesn't disprove her as being an anti-semite, given her body of work.
But more importantly you are affording her an argument to justify her behavior that you deny Trump when condemning him...your morality being founded only on partisan alignment without concern for policy.
