This man is. . . no man at all. He is a frightened, aging bitter reminder of our. . . ugliest past.
For what little Herr Trümp's odious remarks might actually mean -- they are preserved here, by the Wa Po:
“. . .So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump tweeted. [Ed. Note: the PEOPLE of this nation elected them -- to do EXACTLY that, chucklehead.]
Pressley was born in Cincinnati, Tlaib was born in Detroit and Ocasio-Cortez was born in New York. Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia; her family fled the country amid civil war when she was a child, and she became a U.S. citizen as a teenager.
All four women won election to Congress in 2018.
In a follow-up tweet, Trump suggested that the four Democrats should leave Washington.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” he said. “Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”
Democrats on the Sunday morning news shows responded with outrage.
“That is a racist tweet. Telling people to go back where they came from? I think that’s wrong,” Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) said on “Fox News Sunday.”
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called Trump’s tweets “another effort to divide people along lines of religion, ethnicity, origin, and create a country where there can’t be unity.”
“Unfortunately, there’s an American tradition of telling people to go back where they came from,” Luján said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It’s a very bad tradition that we need to weed out of our nation, because we are a nation of immigrants. That’s who we are by our nature for hundreds of years. But you don’t expect to hear it from the president of the United States. . . .”
Actually -- from this savage idiot. . . I do expect it.
Onward -- no raids here in the city of big shoulders, yet.

Good morning~I hope you are well.
Is this another lawsuit?: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/15/politics/trump-administration-end-asylum-protections-central-america/index.html
Yes — indeed, I am well. All quiet on the ICE raids front, in the Chi. . .
And yes — as I read the treaties on asylum the US has signed — now codified at 8 USC. . .
His purported “administrative rule” violates the procedural due process would-be asylees are accorded, under long standing law.
So he will lose in the courts. Again. Moron!
Namaste — enjoy a. . . Warm day!
