With the continuing pressure of an impeachment inquiry underway and the never ending flow of damning and controversial news, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday with a racist and anti-Semitic rant.
In one tweet, Trump singled out members of Congress Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-CA), who are both Jewish, and “AOC Plus 3”, referring to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and three other congresswomen who are all women of color, calling them “savages.”
“Can you imagine if these Do Nothing Democrat Savages, people like Nadler, Schiff, AOC Plus 3, and many more, had a Republican Party who would have done to Obama what the Do Nothings are doing to me. Oh well, maybe next time!” the president tweeted.

Journalists and presidential candidates alike reacted on Twitter, pointing out the bigotry contained in the president’s rant.
Beto O’Rourke called Trump’s tweet dangerous, writing, “When he calls 6 members of Congress—all women of color or Jewish—’savages,’ he wants you to think of them as less than human. Like when he calls immigrants an ‘infestation’ and says ‘no human being’ would want to live in Baltimore. We can’t be surprised when violence follows.”

Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman pointed out how blatant the president’s racism was, writing, “wow he’s calling two Jews and a Hispanic ‘savages.’ It’s all out in the open now.”

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank also pointed out who the president chose to single out in his tweet as compared to how many support impeachment overall. “See how he does that?” he wrote. “More than 200 House Democrats support impeachment, but the ones he singles out as ‘Savages’ are two Jews and four women of color.”

After the bigoted tweet, Trump then sent out off three rapid-fire all caps tweets, all within a minute of each other. In the first, he framed himself as the victim: “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!” And then he tweeted his original campaign slogan: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” followed by his imaginative new slogan: “KEEP AMERICA GREA
PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!

Throw the man in jail for 50 yrs. for anti semetic comments! This is totally funny!!
Typical of hypocrites; lay the law down for the little man, yet they can’t even keep their own law. Again, funny!!
This place is nuts!!
“This place is nuts!!” YEAH BUDDY!!
I won’t give ya any trouble for calling policy law, sis. 😉
Martist, good, because I certainly know the difference. Just repeating what “they” term it as. It’s all just a bunch of corporate policy pawned off as law.
I know you do, Katie.
And hey, that gray man stuff really works.
Even on line… 🙂
Hal, please clue me in on “gray man stuff.”
I was being facetious due to the comment above, Katie.
And here you go,sis…

Hal, that’s funny! It wasn’t a gray man stunt, just called it what they call it; “law”
Bye the way, is it cold where you are?
Not that. I was referring to you calling me Martist. LOL…
No biggy of course, but like that Linda Ronstadt song, it BlewByYou.:)
It is 63, overcast, and sprinkley.
Oh ok, now I completely get it. I thought it was Martist I was responding too. How funny, I just now noticed it because you brought it up.
Glad you’re not frozen yet. 🙂
Note the names of those kvetching and saying anything he said is “antisemitic”, even though NOTHING was said about kikes and WE ALL know chump doesn’t get any joo-er than the most diehard of joos.
They’re stacking their own deck and tying up the loose ends so that anything LESS than giving them “lip service” will be considered a crime.
Martist, where did you learn the word, kvetching? Do you read the dictionary in your free time? LOL.
Looked this one up for the definition. Great to have another word in my vocabulary.
When I’m reading and come across an unfamiliar word I can’t proceed until I’ve grabbed the dictionary.
Very astute observation, Katie! Actually. I have always enjoyed etymology and yeah, I do read the dictionary simply to enrich my mind. I just never wanted to be insulted by someone without knowing I was being insulted! Good eye. 😉
I pick the dictionary up too and read. So many words & so many different meanings for 1 word many times.
The dictionary is very good reading and one doesn’t have to fight with philosophy.
Word-talk, I can’t resist it.
The word thing takes another leap when you create your own word/words. Sometimes when I’m speaking or writing my husband will say to me, “That’s not a word; you made it up.” And I ask him how he thinks words got started anyway. Somebody made them up. If you need a word and there’s none already in existence to fit that need, make one up. It’ll catch eventually. The tech industry does it all the time, but their words ain’t as soulful as ours. (grin)
On a side note… There are some who assert that language (especially English) is constructed with code, much of which, word-by-word fosters subservience. Fun to catch those and annihilate them.
🙂
.
The reason I have such an extensive vocabulary is because I was a voracious reader when I was young, Martist… especially loved to read science fiction & fantasy. Every time I came across a word I didn’t know, I went straight to the dictionary. In eighth grade, I tested at a 3rd year college level in spelling & reading comprehension. It has served me well.
“When he calls 6 members of Congress—all women of color or Jewish—’savages,’ he wants you to think of them as less than human.”
Absolutely true.
At least in the case of ‘or jewish’.
“Off-the-Rails President Takes to Twitter in Anti-Semitic and Racist Rant”
(Laughing!) What a effin JOKE!!
Yeah! And then the bastard went COMPLETELY APE SH!T!!, grabbed the Football, his daughter and son in law, hijacked an Uber cab to the coast where they stowed away in a shipping container on a freighter bound for Saudi Arabia where they were shuttled to a safe house to meet Epstein and enjoy Penis Alota (err ahh. I mean Pina Colada). Afterwards they all limo(ed) off to their favorite country in the Middle East. When Congress found out they gave a standing ovation.
You heard it here first on ‘Hate Speech with Hal Apeeno’.

Hey, galen. 🙂
I seen your comment that you shipped. Thank you.
Not only did it help this website. It will also be equipment used to reinstate our B of R’s/Common law.
The reason for the comment here is due to the fact that I don’t know where or when I can comment for now. Not sure why yet either.
You’re a good woman, sis.
Thank you, Hal. I believe all our efforts are adding up.
🙂

Pretty funny considering Trump is a raging Jew and a Zionist. They really are desperate. It shows.
