I see this sort of thing as evidence that some disease is breaking Trump's brain.

Trump's wife was born where?

And his mother.

And his first wife.

This talk is all designed to keep his name in the headlines and rile up the racist losers that love him.

How this piece of garbage is the GQP is really quite the indictment of just how f**ked up our nation is.

And his supporters ate it up. Fascism is coming, America. If not Trump then one of his clones will eventually win an election and we'll be in a fight for our lives.

Dotard Calls Migrants "Animals" In Michigan Speech

Yawn ...

He's really going to have to kick it up a notch if he wants to get some of that free outrage press he craves. Maybe rip apart an illegal immigrant toddler on stage with his tiny hands. Or bite the head off a COVID bat.

What this means is he used the word "animal" and "immigrant" on the same speech.

This is old and tired

You'd think people would be intelligent enough not to post click bait.

But here we are.

I own the truth.....and you're just one of the god damn liars.

WASHINGTON " President Trump lashed out at undocumented immigrants during a White House meeting on Wednesday, warning in front of news cameras that dangerous people were clamoring to breach the country's borders and branding such people "animals."

-----"dangerous people"....murderers/ rapist / drug dealers and other democrat supporters.

"Sheriff Margaret Mims of Fresno County said the statute barred Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities from using her databases "to find the bad guys,"

"the bad guys"....people who murder and rape....people you obviously want to be here and don't give a damn who or how many

they murder..the younger the better apparently.

Anyone who violently and intentionally murders another innocent person is an animal. Instead of fretting about what they are called we need to make examples out of them as a deterrence to others. Prove guilt and then make them accountable. Why does the left typically fret about what they are called?

Calling murders animals is totally fine in my book (which is precisely what he did). But leave it to Rein to post a misleading story and Rcade to promote it to the front page.

"Precisely."

Hmmm. that is an interesting word.

It indicates that your current alias has data to substantiate the assertion.

So, what data (a.k.a. URLs) does your current alias have to support that assertion?

Illegal Immigrants Have a Low Homicide Conviction Rate: Setting the Record Straight on Illegal Immigrant Crime
www.cato.org

... The homicide conviction rate for illegal immigrants was 2.4 per 100,000 illegal immigrants in 2015, which is lower than the homicide conviction rate of 2.8 per 100,000 for nativeborn Americans. Legal immigrants still have the lowest homicide conviction rate at 1.1 per 100,000 legal immigrants. Those rates are similar across the years for which data are available. ...

So, by those statistics, your alias would also consider Americans to be animals?

Trump crossed that line this month when he pardoned Michael Behenna, who had been sentenced to prison in 2009 for unpremeditated murder in the killing of an Iraqi detainee and released on parole in 2014 after his sentence was reduced. www.cnn.com

Snoofy, someone who murders another human in cold blood is already dehumanized and thus an animal.

This story has about the same "truth" as the bloodbath comment fail that the media tried and fell flat on their face with a few weeks back.

Again, anyone who is legally or illegally in this country who murders someone else is an animal and quite frankly needs to be put down.

The irony.

Dehumanizing murders is dehumanizing NAZIs.

Are you sure that was part of their plan?

Oh I see.
You are saying isn't humans who murder other humans.
That whole thing where "guns don't kill people, people kill people" isn't good enough any more.
Now it's guns don't kill people, and people don't kill either.

Only animals kill people.
And it's okay to kill animals.
It's certainly better to kill animals than people.

You can see how dehumanizing people makes it easier to kill people.
Everyone can see it.

Snoofy, legitimate question ... are you smoking crack?

#31 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2024-04-05 12:43 AM | Reply

Dehumanization is the denial of full humanity in others along with the cruelty and suffering that accompany it.[1][2][3] A practical definition refers to it as the viewing and the treatment of other people as though they lack the mental capacities that are commonly attributed to human beings.[4] In this definition, every act or thought that regards a person as "less than" human is dehumanization.[5]

Dehumanization is one form of incitement to genocide.[6] It has also been used to justify war, judicial and extrajudicial killing, slavery, the confiscation of property, denial of suffrage and other rights, and to attack enemies or political opponents.

#34 - You'll be waiting a long time if you wait for that poster to post anything truthful or factual. I do have links handy, but they show that Americans (U.S. Citizens) have the highest rate of murderers, followed by legal immigrants, and at the bottom with the lowest murder rates, undocumented immigrants. Of course that all makes sense if you step back and actually bother to think about it instead of letting some demagogue play on one's base (lower) emotions whip you up so you don't bother with that whole nasty "thinking" thing.

"Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find"The claim that immigration brings on a crime wave can be traced back to the first immigrants who arrived in the U.S. Ever since the 1980s and '90s, this false narrative saw a resurgence."
"

www.npr.org"

Here in South Florida the hypocritical Cuban American community should be ashamed of their support for any candidate that calls them animals but apparently they don't think he means them too.
They are staken believery wrong, he mesns all brown skinned people born outside the U.S. and even their children who were born here. He doesn't believe in birthright citizenship.

He seems to be doing just fine with the free outrage press here.

By the way, does anyone have the ticker for the exact count of how many lies this politician has told?

Yes killing murders seems reasonable, they broke the social contract.

Too bad, not sad.

Lumpers on this site denigrate Trump supporters by calling them MAGAts yet never a concern about law abiding citizens being dehumanized, oh no

Only murders in snoofys eyes can't be dehumanized.

We did not invent the term maga or the movement. And they proudly wear it on their freakin hats and t-shirts and flags. On the other hand YOU invented the imaginary term "lumpers". No one identifies with it but you.

But it's obvious you can't see the difference.
