Indeed.

Powder keg was the word used in Europe.

The reports I read only said that he protested verbally against the Israeli actions in Gaza, in support of the Palestinian people. If the reports were accurate, then he was exercising his right to freedom of speech granted by the constitution.
Being against the killing of 50,000 Palestinians is a humanitarian issue. Many jews take that position. It is not being anti-semitic to criticise the actions of the Israeli government and it is not supporting Hamas.
Actually providing material or financial support for a terrorist organisation would be a criminal offence. That would be a matter of facts, the evidence would need to be tested in court.

You think MAGA understand the difference between communism and socialism?

They were called Eskimos when I was a kid and Eskimos they shall remain.

I am sure that our African American brothers and sisters will be delighted to know that, in an anti-woke campain we will revert to calling them ni**ers, after all, that was the moniker used for a couple of hundred years in the US.

I guess in between stuka models, virgin mary statuettes and syrupy whiskies he can call just about anything just about anything, really.

I don't think calling an Inuit an Eskimo is similar to calling a black person a nigger*.

I did not google any of the history around it but VocalNeal advises that Inuit are just one type of Eskimo.

I think it would behove the left-wing language police if they dialled down their obsession with political sensitivity around words.

It is just one part of what makes them come across as priggish and pointlessly censorious.


*It is OK to type the word 'nigger' if you are discussing it rather than using it as in insult. The word does not possess magic talismanic destructive powers. The terror of merely writing the word is one of the symptoms of the current hysteria around the BLM political bogeyman of racism. The problem of racism in the west is a microscopic fraction today of what it once was, but the smaller it gets the more debate time it seems to consume.

Of course not, they struggle not to breathe through their mouths.

At the end of the day, he is a petulant child like the orange moron he worships.

Why am I not surprised that you are perfectly comfortable using that term.

The constitution, due process, and the rule of law, apparently don’t mean much under the rule of Orange Julius Caesar.

Because he’s quite obviously a bigot, and he decides what language is, or is not offensive.

I think there is a useful distinction to be made between 'using' a word and 'discussing' a word.

Just semantics, from Mr. Bigot.

Were these el salvadorians legally entitled to be in the usa or not?

We don't know.

That's the problem.

And when asked by a judge to provide documentation, the WH has basically told him to fuck off.

First of all, I think the word you’re looking for is Salvadoran. Secondly, many of them are Venezuelan, and have never even been to El Salvador.
Lastly, it doesn’t fucking matter if they were legal, or not. The right to due process, under the Constitution, covers everyone on US soil. Doesn’t matter what your immigration status is.

Are you saying that people suspected of being either from el salvador or venezuela were arrested without ANY checks on their passports, ID cards or immigration status and summarily deported.

Even in trumps america i find that hard to believe.

shocking

beachbound, you are one of many blinkered lefties who, even if trump negotiated peace in the ukraine and the middle east, found a cure for cancer, opened the borders to every grifter in the world and then donatex both his kidneys to an african orphan with HIV, you would still be full of spittle flecked hatred.

No, I just prefer to live in reality. Anyone who thinks that Donald Trump is capable of a selfless act is an idiot. He’s incapable of empathy. A conman, nothing more, and this is all a grift. He made $2.4 billion off his first term, and he has every intention of doubling that, this time around. That’s why he filled his cabinet with flunkies, and yes-men.

hes a politician, what do you expect. at least his vices are out in the open and visible to anyone with half a brain. better than the virtue signalling leftie hypocrites whose vices are hidden in the faux concern they exude as nauseam.

they are all the same, they just wear different suits.

Left wingers have elevated the 'rights of the individual' to almost religious levels of sanctification in recent decades.

There are other axes of moral justice that should be considered when applying the law.

One of those is the good of the community. Community tends to figure more strongly in conservative political opinion.

The vast majority of the community are happy to see the backs of what are almost certainly the lowest of the low when it comes to dangerous criminals who are not even entitled to be in the US in the first place.
