This is 100% about comparing slaves, who were brought here against their will and held in captivity, to immigrants.

Yes, in a way he was insulting slaves as the term immigrant has negative connotations to many reps and certainly to the people who gave him his role.

I guess you cannot get your head around a black man in any way insulting slaves.

pretty much this. Bernie isn't perfect, but he's light years ahead of the pack on the most important issues.

Libertarians are always going to have tons of freaks and really weird dudes, that's what happens, those guys will clump together in whatever party is desperate enough for new members to take them. Regardless of what you think of "platonic" libertarian principles, the group as a whole is doomed forever because they're always gonna have the dude who wants to do a strip tease on stage at the convention.

BTW, I took the isidewith test back in 2015, here were my results:

You guys are amazing.

And if Samuel L Jackson doesn't speak for the left, I'm sure we can all agree that Einbert does!

I would think quotes like that are pretty abhorrent regardless of whether you favor the right or the left, actually.

But hey, maybe you can help me out. Explain to me what it is about right wing orthodoxy that makes what he said okay? I'm all ears.

Lets forget about Ben Carson being a moron.

Sessions lied under oath
Trump and Co. have many ties to russia
Trump lies on a daily basis

this is the important stuff.

And the CIA is spying on all of us. That's what's important. Or is it only important when Russia is the one spying on us?

No that's not the story. The CIA has a capability to spy if and only when they get a warrant. That's existed for awhile. The more relevant current story is whether the attorney general lied under oath to congress.

Trump money laundering through the Iran revolutionary guard is another exciting detail that would have seen Obama instantly hung out for treason

Chyna gave preliminary approval to 38 Trump trademarks as the president and his family try to launch branded businesses in the country, including hotel chains, security services and golf clubs, according to a report on Wednesday.

His comments are not defensible but much like 95% of the comments that come out of the Whitehouse sand Trump's cabinet it is not surprising.

You can tell the trump supporters who are wholly lost causes as they defend pretty much everything No matter how ridiculous or absurd.

Anyone else muse about the idea that Russia has stuff on Assange? If you go back to the very beginnings of Wikileaks almost everything they have done has served Putin/Russia interests on the world stage.

Which is why it'd be weird to protest it now. Everyone has assumed these things forever. People have "joked" about who is listening and watching my whole life and I go back further than the internet.

Didn't realize the significance of this news until this guy posted it - perfect cover for the Republican government to go after the CIA, which is presumably one of the few agencies standing up for America.

I still say "John Ashcroft is watching you poop" as an old throwback joke.
