Leaked off-record conversation by Mary Trump. She has her own issues. Just remember, the base she is discussing typically votes for Democrats (because of their courting of trade unions). Democrats actually give them concessions (the most meaningful structural racism via restrictions on labor). In spite of his rhetoric, Trump gives them nothing.
No Joe, this is Donny's sister Maryanne. You are thinking of Donny's niece Mary, who also acknowledges the truth about Trump.
Hard to keep up with the Trump family members who know how bad the leader of the American conservatives is. Very hard. I don't hold this one against you.

Have you noticed that right wingers have a common hatred, fear or dislike of immigrants? I don't know what you call it but they all seem to share it. But in real life, they likely get along fine with people that are Mexicans and that are also illegal. Many of the most fervent right wingers even employee illegal immigrants. They mow their yards. They build their houses. They do their tile work.
It is easy to say it is racial but that can't be the case because many hispanics have this same hatred of hispanic immigrants even though they were once immigrants. (yes, they like to claim it was different for them because they worked hard to get here). It is easy for right wingers to claim that they just want them to come legally and they will be fine with them. But many do come legally and they still hate them.
My theory is that it is a glass half full thing. Fox news gets them whipped up into thinking they are coming to take what is rightfully theirs. Even though they are not. Unless they want to work in the fields picking produce. And what makes it even more difficult to understand is most of the right wingers are strong bible thumpers too on other issues.
Many Bible thumpers believe that being religulous gives them moral backing to hate, discriminate, and cheat in the name of god. Almost any behavior is justified this way in their minds.
If anyone ever tells you "I'm a good christian" you are about to get cheated hard. Actual good people don't need to say it, they do it.
But the bible commands Christians to treat the poor, the immigrants and the fatherless child with kindness, love and generosity. It does this literally hundreds of times. Do they have a pass from J Christ himself that they are exempt on that stuff?

it's a fear of change...those people are called conservatives for a reason, and trump says' 'make america great AGAIN' for a reason. They don't want change away from their view of the world.
these people feel that the culture of America is at risk by letting in too many new people, especially if they are from 'sh'thole' nations.
These conservatives want to preserve the essential character of America because the essential character of America IS THEIR CULTURE, so the conservatives get furious when newbies come with other cultures and do not take on the old WASPy existing culture.
Honestly, I am sympathetic to the idea that we have to preserve the cultural golden goose of America - that we need to preserve its core and yes too many immigrants would dilute that. The protestant work ethic is no joke and basically only exists in nations that are the children of Europe. And some in Asia too. I think we should all want to protect that.

For those that need more proof that the GOP can't govern. Today we learned of McCarthy physically assaulting a fellow member of his party that voted against him. And at a congressional hearing a GOP Senator rose to his feet wanting to have a schoolyard fist fight with a UAW leader on the floor of a hearing televised on CSPAN.
But other than that, the GOP is doing great things for America. You might even say they are making American Great again.
Can people generally easily cross the borders of North Korea, China, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Japan and the southern border of Mexico? I don't think so.
This is a really amusing post. Have to congratulate you, Sally.
So, you are looking up to the models of North Korea, China, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Iran? Hmmm, interesting bunch you are holding up as models.
Japan is an island, just in case you missed it.
Oh, and "the southern border of Mexico" - best example of all! Aren't you among those complaining bitterly about all the migrants coming to the US from Central America? How do you think those Central American immigrants get here?
Here's a quick hint for you - what country lies directly between the US and Central America such that any Central American migrant must pass through this country to get to the US? Any ideas what country that might be?
The House Freedom Caucus took an official position against House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) plan to avert a government shutdown, which he will aim to pass with support from Democrats on Tuesday. “The House Freedom Caucus...

I have to admit. I did not have one a GOP congressman sucker punching another GOP congressman for the way he voted on my right wing Incompetence Bingo card for this week.
But I do see that we already had a spot for a female congresswoman calling another a whore.
The Biden administration is set to approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq, a decision that comes just a month after the Tehran-backed...
Individuals can choose to be charitable to this extent, but the government should not, because it is not their money and, quite frankly, they don’t have money to give. We ran a $1.7 trillion deficit last year. So, in effect, we are taking loans from China to pay for Biden’s bungled border policy. In the end, we all pay for this through inflation.
If you are religious and wish to be charitable, then do so with your own money, not everybody’s money.

I am no fan of establishment/swamp RINOsaurs like McCarthy. He needs to leave DC. McCarthy deserves to get his ass kicked.
