Sgt Jay Jones - It is truly amazing how all these people That have never met Trump or been around him in any way.
Can say how Racist he is.
I myself have found it to be that the people that scream to loudest are the most guilty. Just look at good old Rev. Al Sharpten, Jessie Jackson. All Race baters.
Along with Plosie and Shumer. (Just all you War Heroes out their) The only jobs these two have created is for Human Trafficking. Someone has to keep The Brown labor (What can Brown do to for you) (George Lopez) force coming. regardless of Human cost. let them die in the Desert or in cargo containers. Some one has to Clean their homes and cut the grass, And work the fields. To hell what it does to Families. Along with so many of them being forced to bring drugs into the U.S.. Then to work Fast food jobs Because the is NO SKILL required to do them. Then others get jobs in construction. MOST UNDER THE TABLE. That Just being one part of all this Racist Crap. Look at who built the inner city Housing projects. To keep all the Minorities together in place with no work to speak of.
Creating misery and desperation. Which lead people to steal and do and sell drugs.
Yes that is your caring DEMOCRATS in government.
Keep the people confindend despret, Give them some food stamps and some cheese every now and then and tell them the same thing over and over.
No a are not on the Masters farm any more. you are in the conncreat one.

Sgt Jay Jones Texas isn't an island. Much of the support and supplies came to Texas via land through various church groups and charities. Texas is Republican and a help yourself and your neighbor place. Puerto Rico is Democrat; wait for the government to show up and save you. That's not about race. It's geography and attitude Sgt Jay Jones

What we have is 4 anti-Semite, anti-American and anti- law enforcement (especially CBP/ICE) congress women. Trump has called BS on their BS not because of their race but because of their ideology. They happen to be 4 women from various backgrounds. What they share is a similar ideology. Learn the difference.

Sgt Jay Jones - I'm very aware of the Rice case, the outside investigations, and the firing of the officer. When it has been appropriate to charge an officer criminally, I've been all for that, such as in the case of Yvette Smith in Bastrop County, Texas http://mimesislaw.com/fault-lines/yvette-smiths-murder-should-be-news-but-its-not/ or the case of Philando Castile in Minnesota http://mimesislaw.com/fault-lines/officer-jeronimo-yanez-will-face-a-jury-for-killing-philando-castile/

I stated for a long time that the investigation of officer involved shootings needs to change. An outside, preferably state agency needs to do the criminal investigation, and the report needs to be turned over to a special prosecutor. If not prosecuted, the entire report and all evidence needs to be made public. The only thing the officer's agency should look at are policy violations. If indicted, the officer should be immediately fired.

Not much of that is happening though, and in the case of Loehmann, he should not have been criminally charged. And it cost the District Attorney his job at the next election, but he did the right thing.

Capt Gregory Prickett - the one case that truly perplexes my heart is the Sandra Bland case. I will never believe she hung herself. She was too much of a fighter to commit suicide. There is a dead cat on that line and God sees everything.

Alright.
After reading and commenting on several of these articles pursuing more or less the same things, I for one say enough is enough.
IS THIS ALL WE HAVE IN CIVIL DISCOURSE? NAME CALLING?!
Trump is the President, duly elected under our Constitution. He beat the candidate everyone thought would win, and the same folks that liberally call him a fraud, a traitor, a racist, a colluder with Russia for years are just appalled, APPALLED! that Trump does and says the things he does. Never mind that they were just fine dismissing so many things said and crimes committed by their gal, Hillary. Such hypocracy would lead one to reasonably conclude that maybe, just maybe all this outrage is feigned and not grounded in reality, but rather political expediency.
Trump won. Don't like it? Vote for someone else come 2020. Looks like we have a long list of challengers to choose from.
There are so many things that are important for the Government to address,
How is that budget coming?
How about the debt ceiling caps?
What is going on with the border demands attention, How is that comprehensive immigration reform coming?
Remember those DACA kids you all were melting down about last year? Had to shut down the government over that for two months. I haven't heard boo about them since.
How about that North American Trade Agreement. Getting that ratified there Senate?
Allegedly, the whole planet will end in 12 years (where have I heard that before... 1989 or so, as I recall) and demands immediate action. Man, with this much action going on, we are doomed. No wonder they can't be bothered to address the Social Security Trust Fund.
That's OK. We will take the whole month of August off, as usual.

JESUS CHRIST!
Do your job.
Or shut up, fall in, and follow your "leaders" like lemmings.
But spare me your crocodile tears and faux outrage. You are full of shit.
At least Trump is doing something about what is going on, That is more than I can say for most of these fools.

Actually - not a whole bunch. I've never been a Trump fan as he always came across so arrogantly. Still does. But - he is doing in office what he promised.

Now, let's turn this around. [Almost any congressman/representative's name] has a history of lying, cheating, stealing, enabling others to commit crimes, etc while representing us, the People. A **LOT** of it is, of course, swept under the rug. Laws do not apply at that level that apply to us.

What I am tired of is the double standard - even here. POTUS so-and-so is an angel, (next) POTUS what's-his-name is an absolute devil. The last POTUS to DO what he said was, IMHO, Reagan. The one before that was Kennedy. Clinton was a pandering sex-addict that lied through his teeth about it. Bush (2nd) enabled the Patriot Act - a foul piece of legislation. And the list goes on.

The other thing that get's my goat is labeling **EVERYTHING** a racist statement. Really? Would that, in any way, hold up in **ANY** court outside of the court of opinion? Is DT perfect? Hell no! Is he doing what he promised? As much as he can with EVERY social outlet and centrist or left leaning politician trying to BURN him and not focusing on their jobs. It is a civil war playing out on Facebook, Twitter, Google and other platforms with the majority of the MSMs as the field generals.

I am a conservative (little "C") not a Republican. I am as much of a Constitutionalist as I can be with my limited education. I am aghast at the treatment we, my brothers and sisters at arms, are giving each other. "This is my opinion and I WILL shove it down your throat" is the marching order it seems. It is the main reason I don't read/post on RP much anymore.

Um yeah. And before you preach how we should turn the cheek and be better by rising above it all; just note one of the biggest offenders in the name calling is Donald J. Trump going back to his pre-candidate days, his campaign, and now while in office. No president has spent more time creating offensive, childish nicknames for his critics and opponents than Trump. Being in the WH does not put him above the law and above decency and respect. If he uses a racist trope you call him out on it like you would anyone else. Had he used an anti-Semitic trope while in office like he did during his campaign while talking to a room of American Jewish Conservative donors, he should be called out on it. The fact there is a law in the books of Congress that states no one in Congress can call the president a racist or hold him accountable for statements deemed racist or bigoted tells us how deeply rooted the problem is in our country. America was defined by its fight against tyranny yet it feels like the last 240+ years, politicians have been injecting laws in Congress that would create and protect a tyrant that assumes the office on partisan lines.

And if you want to talk hypocrisy, he's criticizing the Congresswomen for criticism of the government and how change is needed so they should get out. He made similar criticism for years so maybe someone in government should have told him to get out. Criticism of government and leaders is critical to our democratic republic. To take that away is tyranny.

MAJ James Woods - I agree to a point. However, all the name calling in the world doesn't make shitty policies attractive, or good policies bad. That seems to be the argument being made. It is a stupid argument.
So while I am just fine with calling out bad behavior, I find that the ability to do so with Trump vis a vis the Anti-Semitic tropes that Ilhan Omar used a few months back illuminating.

1SG (Join to see) - Who's making the argument that name calling makes "shitty policies attractive or good policies bad"? I didn't realize that's what this is all about. I thought it was about a man-child who doesn't like being criticized, told he's unpopular, or told what to do in general. Most people in Congress are used to criticism of one's policies as long as you don't include name calling, racist, sexist, bigoted commentary.
So what anti-Semitic trope do you reference? The one about a US politician shouldn't sign a loyalty pledge to the Israeli government? The one about US politicians being bought by pro-Israeli government lobbyists to push specific Israeli government foreign policies? The one that says AIPAC doesn't represent the views of all Jews in the world? Those are anti-Israeli government, anti-Netanyahu criticism, and anti-AIPAC criticism. I'll say it. Some politicians push specific pro-Israel/anti-Palestine foreign policy cause they take money from AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobbyists. "Its all about the benjamins." Guess what, politicians push specific anti-immigration/anti-asylum/anti-refugee foreign policies cause they take money from pro-Nationalist groups and donors with ties to White Nationalists. "Its all about the benjamins." Guess that makes me anti-White American.
Trump told a room of American Jews while being covered by press that Netanyahu is their Prime Minister too. Now if that's not a trope about the American Jewish community should have dual loyalties then I can no longer reason with some people. In context, Omar never told a group of Jewish people or in public said the Jewish people are evil, bad, corrupt, or have dual loyalty. She's only criticized the Israeli government, their leaders, their policies, what she views in her opinion the ruthless treatment of Palestinian citizens (note she does not support Hamas or the PLO) and US politicians that takes money to enable foreign policies that should be questioned.
I only wish all sides would do the same and condemn racist, sexist, bigoted, prejudicial behavior PERIOD. How many times did Steve King expose his racism before the GOP finally (slowly with hesitation) put their foot down? Or defended a racist anti-Omar 9/11 poster in the halls of the WV legislature on GOP appreciation day? I'll stick to facts and minimize bias as much as possible.
