Why is Trump attacking 4 congresswomen?

[JuliefromOhio]

I don't think you have to be "mentally disturbed" to hurl an insult.....Especially in politics. We had one Presidential candidate refer to supporters of her opponent as "A basket full of deplorables".....While many may question her judgment, I haven't heard of any serious calls for her commitment to a mental institution. At least, not so far.

Ms. Pelosi has been plenty dismissive of the Congresswomen in question, as if they were little more than annoying gnats. That's plenty insulting as well, and the Congresswomen were quick to voice their displeasure. That's politics. That's life inside the Beltway. And while this President revels in it, he certainly didn't invent it.

If you're bothered by it, you should be bothered by all of it. That seems unlikely, however.

Trump can be as racist and misogynist as he can be and his deplorable followers don't mind it. We all know why.

Your accusation of disloyalty toward my allegiance is ridiculous.
The Pledge of Allegiance has been controversial for a long time re: under God usage. Some objecting are atheists... other religions... etc.

------------------------
I pledge allegiance -- I promise my loyalty
to the Flag of the United States of America -- to the Flag symbolizing the USA, and all of its 50 states,
and to the republic for which it stands -- a country where people have the right to choose their representatives to form the government,
one nation -- a united nation
under God -- God willing / having faith in God
indivisible -- a country that cannot be divided
with Liberty -- personal freedom
and Justice -- fair treatment from the law
for all -- for each and every citizen of the country

The wording of the Pledge has caused controversies on several occasions; Jehovah's Witnesses consider saluting and pledging loyalty to a Flag idolatry, the phrase 'under God' has invited criticism from atheists and polytheists, and there are calls to make it more lucid, considering that it is primarily recited by school children, who are too young to understand its meaning.

In the 1950s, Eisenhower formalized/legalized "under God" and "In God we Trust." It was an anti-commie thing disregarding separation of church/state.

Interestingly, this coincides with Eisenhower getting baptized and probably guilt over his cheating on Mamie for years.

Do these anti-American scumbuckets ever criticize Trump?

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

   ....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....

1. Didn't Trump call them out for disrespecting Pelosi? Why yes he did, but all them men on your side(D) are too chickenbleep to do anything about it. No wonder you won't win in 2020.

Great post...Dems are always a source of amusement. It's Pelosi's "ba fungul" to the "unfab four." Maybe she will get these four to leave the party and then those who don't want to be in the "party of slavery" (D) will join the "unfab four" in a new party. Will this be the undoing of the Democrats party? Won't somebody need to go? Who will it be?

he is a bigot. he is sexist. he wants to be a bully. he has made a calculated decision to make bigotry and sexism and division his main re-election strategy, and all his actions, tweets, policies are designed to divide us along racial and political divides, not to call for unity to do better as A COUNTRY....to find common ground, to make us the leader in green energy, for example. to end the crippling deficits even in the midst of a great economy and no real combat troops on the ground due to stupid huge tax cuts for the rich and the already historically profitable big corporations they control or have so much stock in. he wants to pander to bigotry and sexism. he thinks it works. he believes it is how he first got elected, and to a certain extent he is right....but a lot of not very bigoted people voted for him or stayed home in the last election because hillary was such a negative force for all repubs and a lot of independents, and even a lot of sander supporting democrats. and he said he would clear the swamp, instead of making it deeper and wider. he said he would end the deficits, erase the public debt, and he has made both much larger. he has alienated our allies and snuggled up to and bent over for our enemies and for dictators that kill journalists and opponents.

he cannot win by just pandering to bigots. and he will lose by a large margin.

Only Trump's critics are bigots and racists. There was NOTHING racist in that justified tweet about those lying communist bee itches, and only an IDIOT thinks otherwise.

What separation of church and state?

The First Amendment which ratified in 1791 states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." However, the phrase "separation of church and state" itself does not appear in the United States Constitution. The states themselves were free to establish an official religion, and twelve out of the thirteen had official religions.

The truth kinda pits a damper in your point.

Trump read the Republican party accurately. They were doing racist dog whistles for decades while Trump used the bullhorn.

LMAO....."Occupy Democrats"! Why try to convince us of anything using this fake site? All they do is make up shit, puts it on FB (or other social sites) and you believe every word of it. Their memes are HUGE lies..... they twist, or completely post lies about everything. Why use them as proof of anything, we just laugh.

Good to see you back, Carol.
I disagree about Occupy Democrats' memes. I can understand your opposition though.
It's ironic you think their memes are lies, but you can't distinguish or accept Trump's accumulated lies -- consisting of over 10,000!

Why is Pelosi attacking the same four women and the four calling Pelosi RACIST?

Jim says it's because they're bigots and sexist!

where did they call pelosi a racist? what is wrong with disagreeing with someone? did she tell them to go back where they came from? do you even see the difference in disagreeing and telling black or brown or asian people to go back where they came from as if only white people get to have an opinion here? GET IT? NOD IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!!

Remember, Ilhan Omar's position is that "some people did something" on 9/11.

That's what you're defending.

I'm simply pointing out the obvious - That your outrage is selective.

It's worth noting that while you and the President may be opposed philosophically, you are very, very similar with regard to temperament. Perhaps that is why he gets under your skin so easily.

The president didn't mention any names.

So I guess the assumption proves my leftist democrats are the ones who are racists.

you are saying he was not referring to AOC, Omar, the muslim from michigan, and Tlaib, are the only two muslims elected to the House, and Pressley, the first black female elected to the house from Massachusetts? you are lying. these 4 women are known as "the Squad," and they are the only ones of any national renown speaking out about how awful trump is, how bigoted and sexist and corrupt, and only a trump stooge blindly trying to defend him could believe he meant any other freshmen democratic women who are muslim or black or whose heritage is puerto rican, since no other freshmen women are insulted and lied about by trump and fox.

President Trump said on Twitter Sunday that "'Progressive' Democratic Congresswomen" should "go back" to their countries — even though three of the four lawmakers he was seemingly referring to were born in the U.S. and all are American citizens. His tweets drew disgust from House Democrats, who called them racist and xenophobic.

"So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly ... and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run," he tweeted Sunday morning.

"Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how ... it is done," the president wrote. "These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!"

Mr. Trump was almost certainly referring to a quartet of newly elected non-white Democratic congresswomen who have been outspoken critics of the president and his administration. Three of those lawmakers — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley — were born and raised in the U.S. The fourth, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, came to the U.S. from Somalia when she was 10 and became a citizen when she was 17.

All four women, who have come to be known as "the Squad," broke ethnic and gender barriers when they were elected last year. Omar and Tlaib are the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress. Pressley is the first black congresswoman to represent Massachusetts. Ocasio-Cortez, at 29, became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
