Trump stirs up the nativist pot (again)

President Donald trump made news again for all the wrong reasons yesterday after lashing out at Democratic representatives Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib in a usual daily tweet storm of his, which no one can control or mitigate. While trump is known for taking shots at people, his latest anger took a dark and bigotted turn when he suggested that the congresswomen not only hated America but should "go back to the countries they came from and fix them." Already as usual, the conflict pits the people who always hated trump against the people who always loved him, and there's few people on the fence. Trump doubled down on his statements and accused the freshmen congresswomen of being "racist and vile" (isn't that ironic) and demanding democrats apologize for defending them.

Now a lot of people probably are wondering my opinion on this issue, so this is where my thoughts come in. Seriously what the actual hell was he thinking when he tweeted that? Does he understand the connotation when you tell someone of a nonwhite background to "go back to where they came from and fix the corruption there?" And how are some of them supposed to go back? Rashida Talib was born in Detroit michigan. Last time I checked, despite the war zone levels of violence Detroit is very much an American city. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was born in the Bronx and is of Puerto Rican heritage, meaning her family has been living in America technically since 1898. Ayanna Pressley is African American and her ancestors probably were brought here against their wills two hundred years before Donald's even got off the boat. Omar was born in Somalia but spent most of her life here and is a US citizen. Of course trump's most die hard fans are doubling down as well, but this isn't even dogwhistling any more in my opinion. So what are your opinions on this issue NSers? Have you heard of the latest controversy surrounding the president, one of thousands he's been involved in?

Trump will continue to yell and stamp his feet because it's the thing that gets his base really horny. It's his most powerful tool for 2020. The Democratic Party is PROBABLY going to nominate another boring centrist type with zero "political sex appeal", and if they do, they will DEFINITELY lose. (Not that I'm complaining too much, on account of I hate both parties bitterly)

Currently they're debating whether it should be Harris, Biden, or Warren. So we got the pro intervention "dick Cheney was a decent guy, I got along with segregationists" biden, the crooked prosecutor kamala harris, and Elizabeth warren, a woman who lied about being native american. This is not how you win against trump

Well you don't win against Trump with AOC either.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Well, we don't really have much of a historical precedent for AOC. The point is: whoever beats Trump must be someone who can actually excite people. The DNC's top picks don't fit the bill.

But that's how you look progressive so Democrats can stamp their feet and scream sexism when the female candidate (because it will be a woman) loses.

That's one of em. But you're forgetting that Trump won at least partially because it was either him or Hillary.

With news like these I'm always eternally grateful that even the shortest route to USA from Finland involves Arctic Ocean and bits of Canada in between. It continues to scare me that that [self-censored-word] is technically in control of a large amount of nuclear warheads and ICBMs. I'm just hoping he loses in the next election so hard that he'll become a political nobody.

As matter of fact, that is so:

South China Morning Post wrote:If Donald Trump – or any US president – ordered a pre-emptive nuclear strike, could anyone stop him?

The answer is no.

Not the Congress. Not his secretary of defence. And by design, not the military officers who would be duty-bound to execute the order.

As Bruce Blair, a former nuclear missile launch officer and expert on nuclear command and control, has put it: “The protocol for ordering the use of nuclear weapons endows every president with civilisation-ending power.”

She took a gene test that claimed she was like 1/1000 native American and multiple tribes have already called on her to stop claiming she's native when she isn't part of the culture. She's not native dude

A significant problem is that the die-hard followers would adopt the same mentality, cement that belief in themselves, and heed no rebuttals.

If Rashida Tlaib was a serious politican in Palestine I gurantee the Zionists and Hezbollah would have a field day in what remains of the West Bank and Gaza.
