    Obama actively endorsed "Black lives matter", and Trump is quite possibly the most pro-Israel president we've ever had, and he's the racist anti-semite because arguments from silence and word-twisting can insinuate that?

      Didn't you know? Nobody in this country was ever accused of racism or antisemitism until Trump was elected.

        No he hasn't. It's almost unanimously agreed upon by reasonable Americans (that aren't named Tlaib or Omar) that anti-Semitism is bad. It's only been normalized by the radical fresh faces of the new Democratic House. So fresh... SO FACE!!

                I believe that's known as "tokenism". Because, you know, only a vile racist would surround himself with black people.

                  Abrahama Lincoln was actually not very fond of black people. He didn't believe in slavery but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that he didn't like them. Donald Trump is very good at instilling fear of other races in people. His racism is more indirect.

                    Lincoln's views on black people evolved significantly over his time in office; by the end, his views were much more positive.

                    Bull kaka. Quit taking the crazy pills the Democrats have been feeding you. They're the party that's been exploiting racial division on a massive scale for decades.

                      At least he seems to have that affect on Democrats. Have you seen what they've been saying about Israel and the Jewish community lately?

                        A bit strange that YOU think the democrats are feeding me something given that my views on Donald Trump are based solely on what he has authorized called for and his actions not on what anyone tells me to think. I only left the Republican party a few months ago and never actually read a singluar news source, I read EVERY news paper and media outlet I could get my hands on before making my opinion. Try again.

                          Much of the mainstream media is joined at the hip to the Democratic Party; the aggregate of the same is rather likely to reflect that. Your personal animus towards The Donald might possibly have a hand in coloring your perceptions as well.

                          ETA: Unless you really want me to respond to something here, I'm unsubscribing. It's time to step away from politics for a bit to focus on more important things.

                            You mean “reasonable Americans” claiming in response to chant’s of “White lives matter” and “Jews will not replace us" at Charlottesville, that “there were good people on both sides”. Gotcha!

                              Once again, you're an idiot media tourist who knows nothing more than what the media spoon feeds you. The wanna-be Nazis were not the only ones at Charlottesville. There were several flagger groups, some that want nothing more than the preservation of Southern monuments and the freedom to fly the stars and bars. The chant "white lives matter" was in DIRECT response to the racist BLM movement, and the fake Nazis were the only ones calling out Jews. The flagger group from my home town actually forced the fake Nazis away from the statue that was under seige for most of the day. I personally know a member of that group and have for over 35 years and I trust her report over the fake news account any day.

                              And you still avoided the argument. Reasonable people know anti-Semitism is wrong.

                              And you've also not engaged with the topic of this thread, so cut out the derail or leave my thread.

                                It’s kinda interesting really, there’s an anti-Semite democrat congresswomen and liberals would rather talk about basement dwelling loser ‘Nazi’s’, from 2 years ago, with zero political power, than the anti Jew congressional democrat.
