    Donald Trump sees his tweets as a laser pen, and the Democrats as cats.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        No it is not a correct citation of the Tweet, this is the edited back peddling politically correct WHITE washed version.

        That is not all he stated in the tweet.

          Actually, it is. What is not correct is the cherry-picked quotes from (at least one of) the women. First, I can find no place where any of the women said "America stinks." Then, if you look at Rashida Tlaib's quote in context, instead of the cherry-picked snippet, you will see that her reference to "calming feeling" was a reference to the fact that it was her people (the Palestinians) who gave up land and space to provide a safe haven for the Jews who were so badly persecuted. She was expressing pride in her people, while simultaneously regretting that this safe haven had been forced on her people. That is, of course, the very heart of the ongoing Middle East conflict: people were displaced to make room for a Jewish state, creating significant tension and animosity in the region.

          I haven't looked into all four quotes, but I suspect the other three were equally cherry-picked to create this meme.
          The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

            We are not referring to the quotes of the women, but the citation of Donald Trumps Tweet, which was a racist generalization.

                  No, in reference to Donald Duck Trump's racism. Your citation as a matter of fact did not reflect the Tweet by Trump.

                    Thst cartoon is moronic. To criticize something you see wrong with our country is not anti-american, it is the exact opposite. It is THE reason we have the right to free speech. We are explicitly allowed the right to say whatever we like about our government. In fact, not only is Trump racist, he is creating an atmosphere in his attacks on the press and his attacks on these congressmen where he is trying to invoke hostility against institutions and people that use their fee speech right to call for change or to criticize his presidency.

                        He's not a racist.

                        Although I like how you defend the free speech rights of those who say vile things about America, but not the free speech rights of Trump who criticizes those women for the vile things they say.

                          And yet, all 4 of them refused to answer when directly asked if they condemned the firebombing of the ICE facility by the Antifa thug. And according to Chuckles Schumer, silence is implicit approval.

                            He is allowed to criticize their policies. Heck, he's allowed, legally, to make racist remarks. But then, so are we allowed to criticize him for making them.

                            But to the point, had he stayed with criticising their policicies instead of attacking their ethnicity, we would be having a very different conversation.

                              Exactly. Maybe those of you on TWEB making hourly use of ad hominem as a substitute for argument cant quite see it, but by attacking them and their ethnicity, the real problem with these congressman is completely lost and whatever negative response might exist to those policies is even reversed.

                              In this case, Trumps attacks on these congresswomen has given them a pass on their bad policies by shifting focus away from their bad policies and onto Trump's racism.
