You know what kind of a person makes a blanket condemnation of half the country as being racist simply because they hold a different view than themself? Yep. A racist. Here's your tag. Wear it with pride.

To the 1st bolded, at least 2 of "the squad" and likely 3-4 of them reference fairly often a pride in their heritage. They ALL like to decry the direction 45 is trying to take the country. (It's politics; that's what Congress Critters do when the President doesn't have their letter after his name.) He said, quite ineloquently, the countries (territory in AOC's case) that these ladies come from ( how ever many generations ago) have a lot of problems; rather than complaining (& doing nothing but complain) about this country, he told them ( or at least some of them, he never identified which he was referring to, but yet they and everybody else assumed it was all 4) to go fix your country of pride and then once you've helped fix there, then show us how to fix here. Is that boorish and crass. Yup. Like most everything he tweets. But is it racist. Not really, IMHO. Though would have a much harder time arguing it weren't xenophobic. As to not telling Sanders to go back to where he's from, where is it Bernie's roots come from? He's Jewish, but no data on where his ancestors emigrated from, and haven't heard him wax poetic about his homeland. 45 has given him flack for honeymooning in Russia. Pretty sure he's also mocked liberals that have threatened to move to France but didn't move there. Is that him being racist or just his typical in your face annoy those that don't agree with him. As to the 2nd bolded, that seems very plausible.

And AOC also said 'we don't run away from a land we love' which inadvertently says Omar doesn't love Somalia as she sure as heck got out of there. Might that be because it is a ###hole?

1st off, like 50-75% of 45's tweets, this one was cringeworthy. And, it was fairly predictable that it would be interpreted as being racist. But, what he actually said (as opposed to what people interpreted what he said) doesn't seem to be racist. (Although it would be interesting to know how many Congresswomen have migrated to the US; only know of 1 ottomh for certain (Omar).) He had to have known that the tweet would be interpreted as being racist. Really not sure what he was going for by sending it out. Because it seems to be more of a shoot himself in the foot moment than his usual stuff. Do expect that his base (and many others as well) will like the 'rather than be here complaining about how horrible the US is, why not go to the place you come across as expressing more loyalty towards and make that a better place and THEN work on 'fixing' here' sentiment but, like so much else he tweets, it was more divisive than necessary and seems to have been counterproductive.

Pretty sure you've got ours confused with the Swiss version.

They're nucking futs. And it really doesn't seem that they fully understand just what a war they start would look like, nor how it would end.

The problem with Johnson is he has an NTC & simply can't see him waiving it to go from the Presidents' Trophy winner to the Sabres. I expect Cirelli would actually be a good piece coming back for Ristolainen, but the Bolts need to shed salary now, not add to it. Cirelli would fit in as the 2C now and could be the 3C if Mittelstadt or Cozens ever reach their potential. Originally, wasn't too keen on a potential Risto / Cirelli trade, but one of the posters on SabreSpace (Randall Flagg) has been making a convincing case. RNH would be a great trade for Buffalo if Botterill could swing it. Too bad Chiarelli is no longer the GM there.

Truly awesome!

And as soon as we're all dead she'll probably love it even more.

Interesting. My fervent hope is that grownups reclaim that party and they get back to more centrist policies. It's not happening any time soon, but that still is the hope. It would be nice to see them actually go back to being the "working man's" party. (Insert "person" for "man" and close enough.). And not just in lip service but actual policies. They haven't been there for decades, but that is the hope.

Of course, the flip side is they know the sheeet that's coming down is real & know who's likely to get caught up will cause the electorate to break (relatively) heavily for 45 so running a centrist that's "electable" is a lost cause this time. UNLESS they can run out the clock, make it look like 45 is just as dirty as Epstein, and get "lucky" with a recession next year & then they get their desired loon into the office. And they didn't end up needing a guy / gal running as a centrist (like 42 did) so by doubling down on a weak hand they either lose as they expect & will have had their ideas out being discussed for 4 years when they aren't running against an incumbent so they have a strong chance OR their loon actually draws 3 cards to an inside straight.

Twitter, that great forum that allows morons to go against Lincoln's old maxim. He definitely removed all doubt.

Well, he does respond back that ACCESS to health care for illegals is common sense and further clarifies that as access to Emergency services. And a case can be made for that. But the question asked of him was should they receive free health care. Which granting them that is ludicrous on several levels.

Definitely on board with you for the 2nd caveat but not for the 3rd; not sure about the 1st but leaning towards it. Unless law enforcement has some sort of probable cause they shouldn't be allowed to force someone to take off their mask. However, if they did / do, then not removing it could / should be a violation, but not a felony. And, if on private property wearing a mask, the owner or his rep should be allowed to remove you for wearing a mask if there's a policy against it; but simply wearing a mask on somebody's property shouldn't by itself be punishable by jail time.

If no transcripts of his testimony are generated, how does one catch him in a perjury trap?

Better. Venison veal. Yum.

Really?

Seriously, no Rob Reiner amongst that cast? Was sure that'd be right down Meathead's alley.

Awesome. Have wanted to check the Athletic out for a long time & finally did.

Could be worse. She could call them the Beels.

What's weird about it? He was the CMO & then the team President/CEO. He wanted to build the ties to Ra-cha-cha AND help his Alma Mater. Training at Fisher was a Win win for him.

Hmm, Brandon canned, then the team looks to move TC away from his Alma Mater. Nope, no coincidence there.

Because she was a CIA plant. Kennedy 's REAL wife, Marilyn Monroe, WAS killed (suiciding rivals wasn't a Clinton invention, you know; that was actually the aliens idea). Sheesh. And you claim to say "not saying it was aliens, but aliens.". Well, not saying ...

The school DIDN'T approve that version of the speech?!?!?! Shocking. Good for her; but hope she doesn't ever need an official copy of her HS transcript again. 'Cause for some reason REALLY doubt that speech will make the administrative staff any more responsive to her.
