Trump sounds like Hitler again, dehumanizing black immigrants. Sounds a lot like how he referred to the "Exonerated Five" when he was advocating for innocent black children to get the death penalty.
Trump is a horrible human and worst president in American history. |
yeah do not let this hate-filled man get close to power ever again! |

The Pope said "he doesn't know". That's pretty damning for Trump, actually, given the Catholic church's stance on abortion. |
He should stay out of politics entirely as he is supposed to. I don't think his statement helps Harris at all. It just gives cover to both sides. |
And yet some people think he’s fit for POTUS. |
Because their hate for others was the only reason anyone could gravitate to Trump in the first place. He knows less than nothing about the founding and history of this nation. He only ever knew how to take advantage of people and laws. He has less than no respect for institutions, decorum and tradition. He's been scummy his whole life, but he hates the same people they hate, and that's all that was ever required of him. He makes people with inferiority complexes feel good about themselves by convincing them they're actually superior, when they clearly are not. And MAGAs are of course, the real victims. |
And, shocker, he and the GOP won’t do anything to actually thwart illegal immigration. They are the ones who are actually hiring undocumented people and drawing them up here. The suckers fell for it - hook, line, and sinker. |
An illustrative story. I grew up in a very Catholic family. Had to miss a statewide championship for a HS EC to attend mass on a holy day of obligation. I didn’t want to be confirmed my junior year of HS, and was told I got confirmed or I was being kicked out of the house (so, the Spanish Inquisition brand of Catholicism). I went to college and never went to church again unless I was home for the summer or a holiday, because mass attendance was a condition of coming home. I pretty obviously left the church and never looked back. I now stay in an AirBNB when I visit my parents because a condition of staying with them is my kids and myself attending church and I’m not doing that— especially to my kids. I had an unplanned ectopic pregnancy with an IUD. After I had already had my two kids, when I had been married ten years. No irresponsibility or extra marital hanky panky. Because of the irregular periods and general adjustment to the IUD, I didn’t know I was pregnant until it ruptured. It was a very touch and go dash to the OR while my DH signed forms at 1 am and was scary as f&&k. And traumatizing for me. Like, flashbacks and PTSD trauma. Almost dying while your kids watch will do that. I obviously lost the tube, which, honestly, was small potatoes considering how close I had come to dying. Also technically an abortion. We called my sister, the only family nearby, and she refused to come and watch my kids “so I could have an abortion”. When my mother found out, she refused to talk to me for a long time because I’d had an abortion. She said she couldn’t have a relationship with me because it was too painful. Seeing me (and her grandkids) just reminded her that she wouldn’t see any of us in heaven— me because abortion is a mortal sin and her grandkids because I hadn’t had them baptized (although if you are Catholic, you are probably thinking the same thing as I am— that my mom kitchen sink baptized my kids the first moment she was alone with them. Which, whatever, it’s just water. Bigger fish). And then she talked to her priest who said my abortion didn’t “count”. She called me all excited that there would be no he11 for me. And could not understand that the whole experience had been, for me, hellacious. We now have a very superficial, talk once a month relationship. I just can’t. The Church is crazy on abortion. Just b@tshit crazy. Now, they have never been anything but misogynistic, racist, and hateful towards LGBTQ, so those issues don’t even factor in for the Pope. But, the poor, the sick, the migrant, the hungry, kids being shot in school? They all take a backseat to abortion, which is one of the few mortal sins— automatic he11 that you can’t pray, confess or atone your way out of. Priests diddling kids? Confess and be forgiven. Abort to save your life? Directly to he11 don’t pass go. It’s just crazy. |
Trump did a lot to stop illegal immigration in his first term. He implemented Migrant Protection Protocol. He signed Safe Third Country agreements with Central American nations. He signed an executive order for their expulsion. The numbers at the border were way lower under Trump than Biden. He will end all of Biden’s open border policies and reinstate his secure border policies. That’s why I’m voting for him. |
You are such a sucker. |
Why is he supposed to stay out of politics? |
That is a crazy story. I'm sooo sorry. I also grew up in a conservative, religious, protestant home. I had a chat with my pastor once about abortion. I asked if he would choose to abort if his wife's health was on the line, and he said yes. So, I said, do you think the fetus cares what the reason is? Abortion is abortion. Of course, he came up with all kinds of reasons the abortion he would choose is acceptable. I used to be "pro-life", but I realized later that the "pro-life" movement was not about the babies but about punishing them wh0res. |
Churches are exempt from taxes and part of the deal is that they stick to religion and not serve as PACS. Not that stops them. |
