Hyporcrites!
I've been thinking a lot the past couple of days about the legacy of LBJ - a president beloved by liberals for his attention given to domestic social issues.

He used to crap with the door open while holding conversations with staff members. His language was famously peppered with naughty words.

But ... that was back in the day when people paid attention to actions, not words. In this new Puritanical age of liberalism, traipsing through the streets dressed like a vagina is perfectly acceptable, but coarse language spoken in private isn't.

Gossip has a tendency to change what's actually been said.
Yeah, they will never get that though.

I do agree that we do not need "economic" (mooches off of taxpayers) being brought into the country and these come from 3rd world countries which additionally have a devastating effect on the areas where they settle bringing 3rd world living standards with them.

As long as we have homeless people, including families, and people who choose between eating and buying their medication, etc., just no to economic immigrants and especially those that are here illegally, and countries mentioned do have people here illegally.

Americans First. We can no longer be the dumping ground of the world's poor, we have our own growing population of poor to deal with.

Did Trump say this publicly or in private? If publicly, than I agree it is terrible. If in private, big whoop. I am sure MANY presidents have said worse in private. Only difference is, they did not have little leakers running out and tattling.

And what's their opinion on the American version of censorship? - blood, gore and violence are perfectly OK, but people get all up in arms when they see a woman breastfeed in public.

Trump is now claiming he didn't say it. BUT BUT BUT -- if he didn't -- why didn't the White House release a statement yesterday about this. They have an army of media people to deal with these things.

He said it. Can't own it.....and is now having to lie about it.

Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture but in my mind you are correct and Trump is hurting his chances on getting his agenda into motion every time he spouts off whether it’s the truth or not. I mean what he said is the truth. Everyone knows it.

Quotes like this (which we hear all the time) are the reason the KKK and the American Nazi party supported him. And this is who the Evangelical "Christians" support? Really? (Facepalm)

C'mon Republicans, is this how you want to be seen? Because these days you are.
He wants an immigration system similar to what Canada has.

That makes Trump and Republicans like the KKK and Nazis?

Get a freaking grip.

If it wasn’t an official, public statement the President didn’t say it. That is one of the oldest rules.

I was born and raised in The Netherlands, another one of those liberal utopia countries. I moved to the States because of the high taxation, the terrible health care, the nanny behavior of the government and the rampant corruption with the welfare state. You know, exactly what the liberals envision for us.

And people in The Netherlands wants nothing to do with the Polish (they happen to be mostly Caucasian), since they are less educated and bring crime with them.

Sounds familiar?

The democrats will shutdown the government to protect 800,000 illegals? Bring it on.
