Coconut head Ilhan Omar is a massive disgrace to Muslims in America. If people perceive that she represents Muslims, the Muslims are in big trouble. She is UnAmerican by any measure. She also must be investigated for marriage fraud and treason.

Actually, mangled isn’t the right word. You got everything right-accept the accent. (État). The only reason I even noticed is because the French AP Exam was this year.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I know that. I expect Mueller is going to stick to the report; at a minimum they hope him clarifying things in the report will turn the tide against Trump. But when you have the DOJ offering to help Mueller (who doesn't work there anymore) and Barr himself saying that if Mueller chooses not to go, we'll protect him. It just sounds so fishy and an desperate attempt to stop Mueller in my opinion. Just let the man speak, what could go wrong?

UK leadership contenders criticize Trump's lawmaker tweets

British Prime Minister Theresa May and the two men competing to succeed her condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's berating of four female lawmakers of color but stopped short Monday of calling his remarks racist.

Trump tweeted Sunday that the liberal Democrats should go back to the "broken and crime infested" countries they came from. All four are American citizens and three were born in the United States.

May, who is set to step down next week following her resignation over Brexit, thinks "the language which was used to refer to the women was completely unacceptable," spokesman James Slack said.

Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the two politicians in the runoff to replace May as Conservative Party leader and U.K. prime minister, agreed.

Johnson said Trump's remarks were "totally unacceptable in a modern multiracial country."

"If you are the leader of a great multiracial, multicultural society, you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from," he said during a debate with Hunt.

His political rival echoed the sentiment.

"I have three half-Chinese children," said Hunt, whose wife is Chinese. "And if anyone ever said to them, 'Go back to China,' I would be utterly appalled."

But Hunt — who as foreign secretary is Britain's top diplomat — balked when asked whether he would call Trump's comments racist, instead noting that the United States is Britain's closest ally.

"It is not going to help the situation to use that kind of language about the president of the United States," he said

Johnson declined to answer when he also was asked if Trump's words were racist.

The comments come at a testy time for U.K.-U.S. relations. The trans-Atlantic relationship has been rattled in the last two weeks by the Mail on Sunday newspaper's publication of leaked diplomatic cables from Britain's ambassador in Washington criticizing the Trump administration.

Trump responded by calling Ambassador Kim Darroch "very stupid" on Twitter and cold-shouldering him. Darroch resigned, saying he could no longer do his job.

Trump defended his tweets about the congresswomen, taking to Twitter again Monday to demand apologies from the four Democrats and claiming "so many people are angry at them and & their horrible & disgusting actions."

I am sure this is going to be a good way for UK Leadership to attack Trump given that they're heading towards an ultra-extra-hard-brexit and will be even more alone then. All alone.
