Then send the little girls back home and fix it. Instead of running in circles, trying to make racist comment out of anything and everything. Yep, if they did go fix the problems there,,,,, That would be Making America Great Again.. But, We sure as hell don't want to do that.
Or replace a racist tweet with misogyny. Calling them little girls is offensive. Racism and misogyny....rolled up into one easy-to-open package.

Anne Coulter actually said that her ancestors were not immigrants, they were settlers. I didn't know that. White people are settlers = Good Brown people are immigrants= Bad. Got it? Yea, I got the drift is to this into a racist thread.

Seattle is a very vibrant capitalist city with companies such as Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon, Costco and on and on that have a worldwide footprint. Anyone that calls Seattle a socialist city is ill informed. There has been s steady relocation of homeless camps by the authorities for years.
Drugs...I just heard a report about the 70 billion opioids that have been sold in America. That's big pharma and the folks they support in the Repo-Con party killing Americans.
Do something about THAT OC. Here Don is a different view.
Gee whiz , don’t you think I know all about that. But if we are dying why have we been the city with the most cranes for many years now? Why does Amazon have 9000 job openings? Why is the influx of people always more than predicted? Why is there a massive housing crisis of affordability due to demand leading to so many homeless? Why do homeless come here from all over due to our temperate clime? Has it even been 80 degrees yet in July while you have 113? Does it ever go below 25 in the winter? Rarely if ever, so yes we have plenty of homeless but LA has 60,000. Let me know when King Trump gives a shit and also what YOU would do about it. In themeantime my truths about my vibrant capitalist home town remain just that.

It is Sinclair that mandates all of their stations run pre-produced far-right propaganda pieces. Many of the employees quit rather than work for Sinclair. Many more wish they could quit. I refuse to ever watch a single one of their news broadcasts. They are that bad. I happened to be out of state when this piece (series?) ran, so I missed it. I have NO reason to go find it now. It is from a Sinclair station, and thus automatically highly suspect.

If you were calling for the GOP to nominate a different candidate for President in 2020, I could buy this line of argument. I don't hear you doing that.

I don't see any hate from them. but you probably don't see any from Trump.

Wasn't it more like... 1) Settlers were people who came to North America before the country was formed. 2) Immigrants request entry after the country was formed. You truly don't know that ?

Wasn't it more like... 1) Settlers were people who came to North America before the country was formed. 2) Immigrants request entry after the country was formed. You truly don't know that ? No, settlers are people who come and occupy and work new lands. Often, and in our case, they came in the name of a people from away and took over land that actually belonged to someone else. We had "settlers" in the West late into the 19th century. However we had "immigrants" coming into Boston in the 1650's. It can be argued that "settlers" as we know them are unlawful. And you didn't know that? Why I wrote what I did... The ignoring of native cultures would be another subject in my estimation. Quote; While the two terms have different dictionary definitions, in the real world it is a semantic and often political difference.
A Mexican who moves from Mexico to Montana (a sparsely populated state) or even a 3rd World country like Haiti looking for work is called an immigrant in both cases, even if by the technical definition, they would be a settler.
A Westerner who moves from their home country to a 3rd world country like Haiti or a developed non-Western one like Singapore looking for work is called an expat in both cases. 100 years ago, they would be called settlers.
Exact same circumstances, but different labels.
Further, the dictionary definition of the term settler allows for the revision of history (ie Anglo Europeans settled the empty wilderness of the American continent vs the reality that multiple Native American nations were actively removed from their lands to make space for waves of European immigrants), diminishing the humanity or even existence of the natives being displaced in order to satisfy consistency with cultural ethical codes. No one wants to admit to genocide (see Turkey, Japan, etc), especially when the foundation of your nation relies upon it. Better to change to goalpost on what constitutes civilization or established culture/human settlement such that the natives fail to meet the standard. That way you don’t feel too bad about moving in and taking over “all that empty space.”
There is also a lot of semantic hoopla made about the fact that an immigrant moves from home to a “recipient culture” while a settler establishes a new society in the (“empty”) new land. If that’s the case, why are Chinese in Canada or US not considered settlers? The existence of Chinatowns and the existence of Chinese-only social infrastructure duplicating what already exists (banking, medical, education, etc) for well over a century point to a group of people more culturally committed to their homeland than to the natives they are joining. Further, look at the displacing impact Chinese wealth being stored into real estate has on house and home rental prices, displacing millions of natives across the west coast of the US and Canada. Those are the dynamics of the sentantic definition of settlers. Yet westerners will forever label it as immigration, ignoring just how much it mirrors their own occupation of the Americas.www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-settlers-and-immigrants

You mean they should become part of the group that lowers the eye, bows to the ground, kisses some ass and answers to anything with “ yes sir, Mr. President!” Those are puppets not people that represent each at least 700000 of their constituents each. And if Trump would have the decency to speak “polite English” for longer than a day maybe they will show him some respect. As it were he just keeps insulting everyone including people that support him

No kidding! He's such A LIAR! He's the one who started the "Send her back!" shit, and now he's blaming his supporters, like he had nothing to do with it. WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he was unhappy with his supporters chanting "send her back" after he assailed a young Democratic congresswoman who he's suggested should leave the country. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump claimed he tried to stop the chant, which came after he recited a litany of complaints about Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who fled to the U.S. as a child with her family from violence-wracked Somalia. Video shows the president pausing his remarks, appearing to drink in the uproar and not admonishing his supporters as they chanted. "I was not happy with it," Trump said a day later as some prominent Republicans criticized the chant at the president's re-election event. He said he "would certainly try" to stop the chant should it return at a subsequent rally. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trump-says-not-happy-with-backers-send-her-back-chant-1.4513868

Why is the worst part the fact that she's white? How do you know she's not part of the Right? What are her other political views?

Posted this on another thread but seems appropriate here as well. "Okay Mr. President. Here is an excellent example of what a true leader did. He is someone you might emulate."

This is exactly how it was taught to me. Not the brown people part, no one really mentioned the brown people in Canada. But the rest of us were settlers. It's a bit of a shock to realise that is not how everyone sees it.

It's a bit of a shock to realise that is not how everyone sees it. Indeed. And in your part of your country, like my part of mine, many of you probably are descended from people who came "way back", so it all seemed right. I can't speak much to Canada, but here all of the "hoards" that came later were all "immigrants", regardless of color. At one point or another they were all despised too. However it is a lot easier for an Irishman or an Italian to eventually "fit in" than it is a Cambodian or a Somalian. Even in the latter though, I see a lot more ire directed to the Somalian than the Cambodian. I wonder why that is? I honestly don't remember anyone complaining about immigration until the last few years. Okay, by that I mean 10-15 years. It started with people from Toronto who started making cracks about the term "visible minority", saying they weren't minorities anymore. It's only in the last couple of years that I've heard people complaining about the cost of immigrants. And complaining about "them" bringing their feuds and gangs with them from the countries they were trying to escape because of feuds and gangs.
