"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. ... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

He specifically targets Mexican immigrants, not mentioning "illegal immigrants" at all. Pure bigotry.

Also for #5, ironically Jeff Sessions who was in Congress voted against a DACA legislation, which eventually led to Obama making an EO decision. Now, he wants Congress to decide...

DACA was Obama's attempt at sidestepping congress. I am highly skeptical of executive power, therefore I wish to see the legislature end the dispute once and for all.

You do realize that Trump believes that Mexico deliberately sends in illegal immigrants, right?

Trump's idiocy is not lost on me. He thinks a lot of things are true, like China and Global warming. Doesn't excuse the bigotry in his remarks.

It's mostly a lack of information on my part that prevents me from holding an opinion on Arpaio.

There may be disagreements among those within the alt-right about "who is alt-right enough", but so long as they share the same characteristics it doesn't matter.


I am afraid, you might be slightly wrong there. It's an ultimatively fundamental disagreement about a very central question to almost every human group namely "Who belongs to it, and who can become part of it and who not?"

Eitherways this kind of generalization that does more than anything else support their cause. But go ahead and throw all the right together into one pot and lets see whats comming out there the next morning.

We'll start with the racial profiling and corresponding disregard for the fourteenth amendment, and go from there through the human rights abuses (livestreaming inmates using the toilet says hi).

No generalizations are bring made. Principles of the Alt-right are:

Hated of Jews, Muslims, and ethnic minorities. The use of humor, while also using Nazi rhetoric to attract vulnerable audiences.

To go back to your idea, yes there are disagreements within groups, and the alt-right is no different. You're not "alt-right" if your a nationalist, patriot, etc. But if you also meet the above principles, then their is no need for further debate.

So "meh" means "I don't think it's a big deal at all."
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

No, Trump is terrible, he lies and is just in it for himself. Right now he is doing what ever he can to appeal to his shrinking base and doesn't care about everyone who didn't support him.

Being against Trump is not a partisan thing.

I don't know about that. Trump would still be a shit president if he was incompetently trying to do things I approve of in between playing golf and talking shit on Twitter. He'd still be using America's highest office to profit himself and his family. He'd still be a detestable human being I'd cross the road to avoid. I'd prefer if he was freeing the weed or whatever while doing those things, but a bad president doing things I like is still a bad president.

Richard Nixon was facing near-certain impeachment by the House of Representatives, and more importantly, equally certain conviction for the Watergate scandal in the Senate.
He wasn't quite convicted yet, but it was rather close and effectively certain that he did what he was accused of.

If Donald Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio prior to his conviction, but near the end of the trial, what would you think?
