7/14/19: Sunday morning, a splenetic president decides to attack four members of Congress, all women of color.
Time to tweet:
So interesting to see
“Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose
governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and
inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at
all), now loudly......
....and viciously telling the
people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth,
how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the
totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back
and show us how....
....it is done. These places
need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough.

Geography fail: one of the lawmakers was born right here in Cincinnati. |
Reaction to this trio of tweets is – shall we say – less than positive among the general population. First, three of the women were born in this country. Second, most Americans still believe in the U.S. Constitution and checks and balances. Members of Congress are free to criticize a president. Third, the First Amendment guarantees free speech and expression to all.
Fourth, many Americans sniff racism in the tweets – Trump
attacking people of color again – “crime infested places” often being code for,
“dark-skinned people are always dangerous.” (See: 7/16/19.)

TRUMP’S MOOD does not improve when a new batch of leaked cables from the British ambassador in Washington has him describing Trump’s decision to abandon the Iran deal as “diplomatic vandalism [emphasis added]” to spite his predecessor.
Trump and his advisers, the ambassador explains, had no “day
after” strategy on what to do once they killed the deal. (See: 9/15/19.)

IN OTHER NEWS, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) tries to stave off defeat in the 2020 election (if he’s not already in jail for misusing campaign funds) by putting out an anti-Islamic mailer to raise campaign funds.
On one side, we have a picture of the terrorist attack on the 1972 Olympics. Hunter’s opponent in 2020 will be Ammar Campa-Najjar, whose deceased grandfather is alleged to have had ties to the attackers. It shouldn’t matter, since his opponent is not responsible for what happened half a century ago. Still, for context, we should mention that Campa-Najjar is a Christian. On the back we have this “warning,” designed to create maximum paranoia among the grossly uninformed. “Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ammar Campa-Najjar ... these three radical Democrats want you to forget their anti-semitism or family-terrorist ties!”
Hunter adds, “But as a Marine I’ll never forget the 1983 Beirut bombings and the 1972 Olympic murders!”
It is worth noting that
Campa-Najjar was born in 1989. I think we can assume he hasn’t “forgotten” the
attacks.
Meanwhile, Hunter and his wife are accused of misusing campaign funds as recently as 2016. Rep. Hunter has blamed Mrs. Hunter, but prosecutors recently submitted evidence showing Rep. Hunter used some of the funds to carry out a series of five affairs.
Since polygamy is allowed under
Islamic law, you kind of wonder...did Rep. Hunter ever think of converting?
