white people are running wild with this latest attack against them. got some dude dropping the N word in front of don lemon just to show how “united” we all are.

I can just imagine a side conversation between her and 45:

Reporter: We are not a shithole country!

45: What about <<mumbles and incorrectly pronounces a black neighborhood, then realizes he actually can’t name one>>? You know, black people.

Reporter: Well the whole COUNTRY isn’t like that. Things really used to be great back in the olden days.

ONE MILLION MOMS: "Someone just said 'shithole' on TV. Boycott @cnn! Boycott abc! Boycott @msnbc!"

ONE MILLION MOMS: "Oh, well, that's a 'horse of a different color.' Thank the Lord for such a man of God in the White House! Carry on..."

Heard this in the radio in the car this morning so no source to quote. Trump says he’s not going to the opening of the new US embassy in London because it was a bad real estate deal made by Obama. Insiders are saying it’s because he is irate that he will not receive a royal welcome if he goes. The queen refuses to meet with him. LOL.

Obama HAS to go to the wedding, that would be perfect!!!!!!

[calamity]

4speedy, he would definitely not be well received in the UK.
LOL that now he's saying he doesn't like the new embassy. OKKK you orange shithole

He also thought it was appropriate to drop a rack of slurs against latinx. I thought my husband was going to come through the screen.

Yes. And Trump tweeted it himself:

"Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"

Not directly #45 related but important. We're so screwed.

AP - BREAKING: Cybersecurity firm says Russia-linked hackers are laying groundwork to spy on US Senate staff.

AP - Cybersecurity firm says the same Russian government-aligned hackers who penetrated the Democratic Party have spent the past few months laying the groundwork for an espionage campaign against the U.S. Senate

I don’t want to keep pulling up yesterday’s thread, but you’re right about that Mudd guy. Sorry for offering up an excuse.

This is maddening.
We have serious security threats against our democracy, but because 45 is in the middle of it, people want to ignore the fact that this doesn't just impact now but our entire future.

As usual his word salad is difficult to follow, but it appears so.

DT - "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!"

Also, I don't remember reading anything about him saying "take them out"? Did anyone else see that reported or is he just making up stuff again?

DT - "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"

[miniroller]

Keith Olbermann: During the physical today, ask for a CT Scan and tell them about your compulsive lying.

Follow-up on the recording idea. Went well for Nixon.

And remember, the foremost ‘shithole country’ in the world today is @realdonaldtrump’s America.

Yes please start recording your meetings trump. That will absolutely help you.

The Illinois carpenter who commemorates shooting victims with wooden crosses is lugging 2,000 of them to D.C. on the 1st anniversary of Trump's inauguration to draw attention to the nation's gun violence crisis. chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora…

Official press release from the government of Botswana:

The Botswana Government has also enquired from the US Government through the Ambassador, to clarify if Botswana is regarded as a “shithole” country given that there are Botswana nationals residing in the US, and also that some of Batswana may wish to visit the US.




I'm so embarrassed and ashamed.

To be clear, the move was agreed to by the Bush administration, and was in response to new safety concerns after embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania

Is there where I admit that I find it strange how everyone is throwing the word s***hole around on TV? It throws me off. Yes, I am pearl-clutchy about this for some reason

Anyway, is this the worst thing he has ever said (as President)?? I think it might be. I was surprised that something he said could possibly surprise me, but I audibly gasped when reading about this last night.

What a disgrace

Um, they said S***Hole on NPR. Warned to turn it down if you have kids in the car. H & I just looked at each other 😐

[miniroller]

And of course there’s no ambassador to handle the international incident that the #shitholepresident caused.
IRT:
CONFIRMED: Haiti summoned top US diplomat over Trump's "shithole" comments. Currently no ambassador, so Charge d'Affaires Robin Diallo met w/ Haitian president.
