The context and import of President Trump’s remarks are not simply that the countries are “shitholes.” It’s much more than that. It’s that we don’t want people from those countries because the awfulness of the countries attaches to the people themselves. Speaking of whole classes of people, specifically people of color, as basically garbage – is not only disgusting but entirely of a piece with the campaign President Trump ran in 2016 and the policies he is implementing as President today.

Thoughts on Shithole and Racist Xenophobia At the Heart of Trumpism

It’s not the *word* (and PLEASE spare me the THINK OF THE CHILDREN outrage). It’s the racism.

Remember to keep publicizing that Trump is an orange piece of shit 2018!

it really isn’t a matter of ‘other teams would do it too’ no one is naive enough to think that a team in a league that is over 90% white males is going to completely boycott a WH meeting but the timing of it all is what’s fucking me up

in the same 24 hour span, the first mlb player chose to kneel for the national anthem, the president called the guy who started #TakeAKnee a ‘son of a bitch’, and the most nfl players that ever have in one day all sat or didn’t show up for the anthem

and THAT’S the day when you decide to comment on your ‘apolitical’ bullshit? 

also fuck outta here because under this administration there is no ‘apolitical’ if you plead ignorance, you’re pleading your white privilege and you’re taknig a side. 

here’s to hoping at least some of the pens still don’t show up

Imagine how much Trump would hate that, having a Middle Eastern man interrupt him.

a middle eastern jewish man

A middle eastern jewish man born in Palestine who gave away free healthcare and chased capitalists with a whip.

Something for all the “But Mike Pence!!!” types still arguing that we shouldn’t try to impeach Trump.(article)

Thank fuck, someone explained this more eloquently than I could.

(Though another reason this galls me is that Trump should be impeached because he has violated more laws than any president in our history. He needs to be punished for that. Saying that he shouldn’t because you don’t like the guy who comes next is attempting to game the system in much the same way the Republicans have been. Impeachment isn’t about trying to get the president you want. It’s about punishing the ones who break the law.)

I try to keep politics off this blog but god damn

Impeachment isn’t about trying to get the president you want. It’s about punishing the ones who break the law

Plus there’s that whole thing were Drumpf is a massively greater danger to the rest of the world  than Pence would be. I get that Pence could do a lot of damage to the US, I do. But he is a hell of a lot less likely to bomb random places because he was looking for a headline or somebody egged him on. On a worldwide scale, a massive step up.

The cover of the next Stern, a German news magazine.

The title Sein Kampf (transl. his struggle) is a play on the title of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf (transl. my struggle).
