Trump - “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

[Anonymous]

''We have become a nation of whiners,'' said Finn Bergesen Jr., director general of the Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry, Norway's largest business trade organization. ''Everything is wrong, yet we are living in the best country in the world. People complain and complain -- because we have everything.''

Well they’re sure as sh!thole not going to want to move here, then?

And if anyone was still wondering why Puerto Rico is in shambles after the hurricane, still half of the remaining population without power, hundreds of Americans dead, this shithole remark makes it all pretty clear.

At this point, they may as well stand by him and be completely marginalized by those who have a brain and a heart.

Nazereth was a shithole too.

It is time to start shunning anyone - and I mean anyone - who continues to support this presidency.

That seems to be the strategy, to focus on the actual immigration questions, and avoid the clear evidence of the President's emotional and mental deterioration.

Flake has also confirmed it.

That's one Republican with guts. Dick Durbin (D) has confirmed it. Also in the room were Lindsey Graham R SC David Purdue R GA Tom Cotton R AR Dick Durbin D IL Kevin McCarthy R CA Bob Goodlatte R VA Mario Diaz Balart R FL. Let's see if any of these Republicans speak up against Trump.

Good for Lindsey Graham to have some guts.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C.) and Tom Cotton, (R-Ark.) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) were also present in the meeting and were surprised by Trump’s remarks, the Post reported.

Durbin told reporters that Graham “spoke up” when Trump made the remark. He praised Graham for his “political courage.”

"My colleague [Graham] spoke up and made a direct comment on what the president said,” Durbin said, according to MSNBC. “For him to confront the president as he did, literally sitting next to him, took extraordinary political courage and I respect him for it."

Norwegians say, "No thank you".

https://www.yenisafak.com/en/world/thanks-but-no-thanks-norwegians-reject-trumps-immigration-offer-2972458

"On behalf of Norway: Thanks, but no thanks," tweeted Torbjoern Saetre, a politician representing Norway's Conservative Party in a municipality near Oslo.

Christian Christensen, an American professor of journalism at Stockholm University in neighbouring Sweden, tweeted:

"Of course people from #Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they're poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women in political power. #S***hole"

Norwegians also dislike Trump.

Four out of five Norwegians questioned in a new survey have an unfavourable impression of the new US president, Donald Trump. They like Russian President Vladimir Putin more than Trump...Norwegians now clearly have little if any confidence in Trump,

“Racists have needed Haiti to be poor since it was founded. They pushed for its poverty. They have celebrated its poverty. They have tried to profit from its poverty.

They wanted it to be a shithole. And they still do.

If Haiti is a shithole, then they can say that black freedom and sovereignty are bad. They can hold it up as proof that white countries—and what’s whiter than Norway—are better, because white people are better.

They wanted that in 1804, and in 1915, and they want it now.”

Great thread here by Jonathan Katz, Duke professor and Haitian history expert.

So "expert" Katz says that Haiti generated Europe's wealth, was able to repay what Katz says were vast sums, but now is a shithole and it's some white person's fault.

OK.

So Haiti's plight and status as the world's poorest country is the white man's fault?

Good Lord, where has accountability gone
