Trump tells Democratic congresswomen to 'go back' to 'fix' countries they came from

Yes, it is.  An unbelievably large fraction of Trump supporters approve of his actions.  That means they're absolutely clueless about why the things he says and does are horrific and mostrous.  So the satire and critique needs to be at a 3rd grade level to reach as many of them as possible.

I don’t think Trump’s supporters are entirely clueless regarding his actions.

 

What he feeds them is hatred and cruelty. The more hatred he spews and the more cruelty he displays the more they support him.

 

Hatred and cruelty are the whole point of his Presidency and the whole reason for the support he receives.

one would need to be blind, deaf and dumb to not recognize a socialist agenda. the rule of law is about protecting all americans regardless of ethnicity, or religion. although their socialist states have largely failed i do have admiration for che guevara, a physician, and fidel castro, a lawyer as they were highly intelligent and highly educated and spoke with clarity.

Admiration for a couple of murderous thugs. The mind boggles at the nonsense that comes from leftists.

BTW I misread your pseudonym first time, accidentally reversing the syllables, easily done. Might I humbly suggest that you could have chosen better, of course it's "Dam jai koon"

In America you would be branded a racist because you called them "colored women" instead of "women of color." That's how crazy it is in America. But of course they have every right to mock you as an "old white guy."

I don't see the equivalence but you'd be right about that for a native speaker as saying colored woman is not done. I see your point about the absurdity of that particular example.

Unbelievable?  Have you been asleep the past 4 years?

This whole stunt is nothing more than throwing red meat to the dogs!  It's not going to repel or attract anyone, except bolster admiration from those who were already with him.

 

Hey, I heard Melania was seen shopping for a bunch of new suitcases...

Yes. But only if one didn’t read the entire post and simply took those two words completely out of context to make a pointless point about political correctness.

i am far from a leftist but i refer to utopian dreams that in theory sound wonderful though in reality and application have failed.

[atyclb]

all i can say is that those who seem to make it their lifes work to bash and condemn the current president would be better served relocating to the united states and working closely with the democratic party to help insure the dem candidate will beat trump in 2020.  frankly all the ranting on thai visa forum (a relatively insignificant forum) seems like lots of effort and energy wasted.

It is somewhat odd that so many people that have moved to a much better country than America is rant hours a day about a country they don't even live in. It's almost like they aren't very happy where they are or something.

Well, an eight year old can understand it. Is that a plus in your book? Not especially sophisticated but I'll send the short bus round and see what the kids think.

You seem oddly focused on those who bash Trump and entirely indifferent to those who bash Trump's opponents. I guess you hope that they stay put wherever they are because you're a lifelong Democrat?

Seeing Collins unseated would be a double pleasure.

Whereabouts in Maine? I have some land there. Yes a vote in Maine would be a really useful contribution to the dems. Especially as Maine splits it's vote anyway.

I just find it amusing that the usual suspects scream "It's me! It's me!" 

If nothing else, Trump knows how to play them!

may i humbly ask if you place aoc into this category

 

keep in mind i am a lifelong democrat but a free thinker

Absolutely. I love her! Her politics are way too radical for me, but she is far, far smarter than Trump (an easy hurdle for sure) and she is also far more articulate than the bumbler. And she tells it like it is. How refreshing is that?

 

Any may I add she does not despise people of color, and is not hateful, a divider, and a source of inspiration for extremists.

considering where trumps intelligence is placed far more smarter does not mean too much. there are intelligent democrats for sure but based on what i have seen/heard of aoc, her ideas and her analysis and responses as well as comments personally have to say she is not too bright, photogenic yes.

I am very happy living in the USA. This site is somewhat akin to people having to inform some Japanese soldier holed up in the backwaters of the Philippines for the last 50 years the war is over and everything is okay.

 

Nobody back home obsesses this much. If you moved away to escape the "nanny" state and politics why do you come and whine 5 times a day? It seems like you don't have anything better to do.

You spend your time trolling a website for people living on the other side of the world from you?  As Trump would say: "SAD!"

 

I lived in Thailand for 12 years, but family concerns recently forced me back to the US.  I hope to return to Thailand in the near future, and I stay abreast of things in Thailand through TV, Line, and FB. 

 

I can assure you that in the US people who care about the future of the country are somewhat obsessed about the incompetent in the White House.
