President Trump attacked Democrats in Congress over immigration in his weekly address Saturday, blaming the party for refusing to close "loopholes" that allow gang members including MS-13 members into the United States.

In the video message, Trump singled out House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), accusing her of trying to "protect" MS-13 members who he again described as "animals" in his remarks.

"MS-13 gang members are truly, and you’ve heard me say it, animals – and yet Nancy Pelosi and Washington Democrats continue to protect them and to push for open borders," Trump said.

"The record is plain: Washington Democrats voted against Kate’s Law, they voted against legislation to deport gang members, and they voted for Sanctuary Cities where these violent criminals hide," Trump continued. "Democrats in Congress have opposed every measure that would close these immigration loopholes and bring the slaughter to an end."

1. He has a weekly address?

Hes on tv 24/7. And still needs to say things? All of it doesnt amount to shit.

[Calista241]

15. That really irritates me too.

Obama had nowhere near as much coverage as Trump does. I feel like if Trump looked out the window to check the weather, there'd be 50 stories about it, and several hours of tv coverage.

24. President Obama WORKED.

Fixed the country from economic collapse, jobs, healthcare etc etc etc. Kept his head down and did his job w humility. The world leaders loved him. I sure did/do too.

7. Here's one I found from last year:

Police: MS-13 members in Maryland stab man more than 100 times and decapitate him

As many as 10 members of the MS-13 street gang lured a man into a park in Wheaton, Md., spoke with one another over walkie-talkies as he arrived, stabbed him more than 100 times, decapitated him and then cut out his heart, according to police documents made public Wednesday in Montgomery County District Court.

5. The Appeal of Demagogues

Why are so many people swayed by bombastic, bigoted, chauvinistic leaders?

For some reason, we've recently been hearing a lot of the term "Demagogue" mentioned in the press and on social media, the blogosphere and in political chatter. Any guesses as to why?

As you probably already know, that word refers to someone who may be charismatic and often bombastic, and is able to use his oratorical skills to appeal to the baser, more negative side of people's feelings. Examples of these darker parts of our psyches are prejudice, bigotry suspiciousness, resentment, hate, racism, aggression, rage, violence, retribution, paranoia and ultra-nationalism.

Some well-known demagogues of the past century include Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Huey Long, Benito Mussolini and others. But here's a paradox: The louder these demagogues intoned, the angrier they became, the more hateful their words and the more popular they became. They raged against terrible imminent threats inside and outside the country from evil others who "caused" the misfortunes in society. They were capable of swaying their impassioned audiences to join their vitriolic campaigns against these nefarious targets.

From the article you'd swear this guy was describing Trump, but it was written in 2015. It just so happens Trump checks all the boxes. The sad part is you don't have more people calling this kind of shit out for what it is.

6. Here is the Democratic Weekly Address

(since many on DU think Democrats hide and don't do these )

[Cha]

13. Thanks for the Democratic Weekly Address, BRDS!

Frank Pallone alking about sexy health care and how the trumpshites are trying to take it away.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Aloha Cha!

And yes, Dems are trying to put our messages out there - particularly regarding the assault by Republicans who are trying to get rid of requiring insurers to cover people with "pre-existing" conditions!

[jayschool2013]

8. Might as well let Little Goebbels (Miller) go on camera

At least we could hear the propaganda in the original language, German.

[ck4829]

9. Question: Is it MS-13 shooting up schools, music festivals, Waffle Houses, movie theaters, churches?

Yes or no

[Mopar151]

22. Only in Central America!

Not entirely "true", but close enough for a Republican.

Donny Dumbass. Jesus Christ on a hoverboard, this fool is thick. He is locking up refugees fleeing MS-13 because they may be MS 13? This makes as much sense as every other time the mopes have gotten jacked up about refugees. They still wake up sweaty over the thought that All Kayderh is smuggling in an A-bomb disguised as a bale of pot!

[jpak]

10. What? No mention of "Crooked Hillary"?

He's slipping....

[dalton99a]

11. "There is an MS-13 around every corner waiting to rape your blonde daughter and steal your F150"

"and millions more are pouring in!"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. MS-13 is the new Benghazi. Just as bogus as that and her emails. . . . nt

[renegade000]

14. Yeah, the MS-13 line of attack worked so well in VA last year...

Maybe it plays better elsewhere, but from my perspective...

[Devil Child]

16. MS-13 is very real

But anytime Trump drops MS-13 it becomes code word for migrants to whip up hatred in the base.

[axm]

17. 2 years in and Donnie

is still blaming everyone but himself for his failures.

Cry me a river, Dotard.

[mwooldri]

18. Remind me who has the majority again?

If the Party of Trump wants to pass certain laws, it could.

[yuiyoshida]

20. I seriously can not watch this... I am sick and tired of

Seeing his LYING MUG in my face. I am seriously exhausted OF seeing and Hearing thiS FUCKING ASSHOLE.

[smirkymonkey]

29. I so hear you!

This, exactly!

[sakabatou]

30. Same

[yuiyoshida]

32. Hey great to see you

again

[sakabatou]

33. *waves*

[scarytomcat]

21. If someone is killing people and committing other crimes why aren't law enforcement people

locking them up.
They should hit these gangs hard and drive them out.
It is the sanctuary cities law that is helping lock these criminals up. Without the law they get away with crimes on people that can not expect justice.

[Mopar151]

23. There are LOTS of other criminals too!

Sanctuary cities are not the problem.

[noneof_theabove]

25. Dang did people fail / sleep through history.....

From web search "ms-13 history"

MS-13 - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-13 - View by Ixquick Proxy - Highlight

Mara Salvatrucha (MS), also known as MS-13 is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s

We ran them out [to the south] and then they came back with a vengeance.

27. Hey Trump... fuck you!!!

[sakabatou]

31. I wonder when the last time Trump blamed white supremisists for any violence
