comment about immigrants poisoning the blood of the USA. I happen to be one of those immigrants. I my life I have worked mostly for either the church or the state. I have led a wining City of Tacoma Initiative, ran for US Congress, helped lead a campaign. I ran a peace and justice organization for 4 years and co-pastored a UMC congregation for 3 years among other jobs. I chaired a Refugee choir, was on an immigrant welcoming team.
I would compare my work in the US with trump's...if u wish to talk about poisoning, life in the mirror you orange anus

(22,883 posts)She emigrated from Scotland to the U.S. in 1930. Not only that, but she's a beneficiary of the dreaded chain migration, because she came here to join her sister, who had emigrated here earlier! 😱
That's right, Trump is the son of an immigrant mother and the grandson of an immigrant on his father's side! The horror!

(5,107 posts)..a fault. And your example, like 10s of thousands of others now and who came before, continues to prove that. Trump is an idiot. Unfortunately seems like @ 50% of the country is the same ilk. Scary!!!

(602 posts)More than 6 years ago we were told, very explicitly, that Trump's bedtime reading included a book of Hitler's speeches. Now he is echoing what he read so enthusiastically. Why is anyone surprised?

(22,757 posts)No lower pieces of shit than nazis. Really he's digging his own grave for 2024 if he is the nominee. And that's not a given no matter what his poll numbers are. A whole hell of a lot can happen between now and then.

(24,779 posts)I just had to rant when hearing that worthless asshole dissing a whole class of people. I guess it hits home because I am a part of that class. All my life my mom had taught me to listen to what politicians say and be alert to fascism. She suffered deeply in World War II as a child.
