You do realize they were heavily slammed for this by many different Jewish organizations and the vast majority of academics specializing in the holocaust, right?
You really don't have the grounds for derailing this thread with pedantry here.
Why are so many of you convinced Trump is some evil mastermind?
Again, I totally apologize for my earlier posts. Thank you for saying it better than I could. I shouldn't have used the term tinfoil hat.
Some of y'all need to check the #NeverAgainIsNow Twitter hashtag and see the work Jewish groups (y'know, the ones that had atrocities committed against them) are doing and how they feel about current circumstances and stop shitting up the thread by tone policing.
Actual jews have told me that in person. It's not an abstract thing that I pulled out of my ass. But you're right. I need to learn and do better.
Yeah. It's disgusting, but whose mind is going to be changed by this who wasn't already against Trump?
That said I am glad the resolution exists. It needs to be said and people need to be on the record.
187 voted against a measure that stated that being American isn't defined by race.
4 of them voted to support that measure. You can absolutely begin to work them but the other 187 are fucking dead in the water.
Minx never fails coming into the most sensitive threads with the absolute worst takes. Your judgement is so off it's legit scary that you're an officer. Legit fucking scary.

I guess what I'm saying is that he didn't lose that 10 points. Ultimately, those independents stuck through all the other horrendous shit he's done and this already slid past the GOP mindshare who are now stenciling the squad as the racists that hate America. I don't have faith this truly moved the needle for these independents - that's what I mean.
How do you define modern day? It's been a cult since Reagan.
And are rich. Can't quite put my finger on why poor white folks vote for them 🤔
I mean they lost 3000 kids.
The stories those kids will have once they're found will be monstrous.
Well then let Jewish posters express their offense if they feel it.
Personally, as a Jewish person, I'm fucking enraged whenever people try to limit terms like the Holocaust to just what happened to the Jews. Never Again means never fucking again, not never again but only related to Jews. We have clearly been seeing escalation in white supremacist language and actions. I have had people who lived through WWII and who personally heard Hitler on TV sounding the alarms about Trump before he even won the presidency.
Me not agreeing the holocaust is here = scary I'm an officer. I don't see the correlation but you are entitled to your baffling opinion.
You are right I suppose I shouldn't assume Jewish people would be offended. I guess I just think people are delusional if they truely believe America would replicate the holocaust, one of the biggest genocides in modern times.
there was a very similar conversation happening when an exhibit titled "America's Concentration Camps: Remembering the Japanese-American Experience" opened up at Ellis Island back in 1998. this was the ultimate conclusion after several hours of discussion between jewish american and japanese american groups.
Under Reagan, HW and W there was a modicum of traditional party/ It has always been pro-Big Business and always had religious nuts in it. But the complete zombification, complete destruction of any thought whatsoever has been so thorough and so complete, you won't find any other mass movement that became a cult so quick. Donald Trump is the Republican party.
That's my question. "Republicans are racist, on the record" Who is that going to sway exactly? Everyone already knew.
It didn't start that way. It took years to get there, and it looked a hell of a lot like this in the beginning.
OP the vote you're taking about was a vote to condemn Trump's recent racist Tweets. It was basically a show vote so that Democrats could project solidarity and look like they're doing something in light of Trump's racism. All the accomplishes is putting a House condemnation on the Congressional record, and had the R votes won, there simply wouldn't be a condemnation on record. I agree that it's sad and frustrating how many elected officials refuse to call these obviously racist Tweets racist, but this thread grossly mischaracterizes what this vote even was and what it means that 187 people voted against it. This was a nothing vote.
Yeah okay, so now you can't read? Where did I say anything about holocaust comments. I responded to this portion.
"As much as people don't want to admit it, we have to work with the other party to get things done"
You said this in a thread about a party that couldn't even fucking work with Democrats to label an outright racist statement as racist...
Like wow, imagine being that dense. Working with the "other party" only seems to roll one way it seems, thats whats truly baffling. Thats why I called out your judgement, and being astounded that you're in a position of power that could cause real harm to people out there. Cant fade that shit.
We're between stages 7 and 8 on the 10 stage scale of genocide. If you don't think it can happen here (hint: it already has in the past) you are the one that is delusional.
Thinking that history can't repeat itself is the height of delusion.
I honestly don't think you need to be Jewish to call the state of our country holocaust like.
OP is calling this shit like they see it our country is fucked up. Kids are dying and anyone who could be considered "other" is being blamed for our nations problems
Feels like a crazy lead up to something horrible

To find some sort of compromise where kids aren't being kept in cages away from their parents and for no wall to be built. We obviously need to reform our immigration while still knowing who is coming into our country. I'm no political expert but I doubt this can be done until the dems win 2020.
I don't agree with us being on 7 or 8 at all.
You didn't quote me so how would I know what comment you were referring to. Working with the other party from either side is how the government has worked for.... Forever? I don't see how I'm the dense one here.
I think I might see the problem here. Have you been frozen in a block of ice for the last 15+ years?
Because if you haven't, this seems to indicate you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in the world since at least the election of Obama.
Republicans have always been the party of the president when in power. Reagan and both Bushes said and did truly vile shit and the GOP always had their backs. Trump just can't read from their playbook since hes a functional illiterate.
dont worry, we just compromised with a bill that gives them money to expand the camps, while at the same time not promising any improvements to the conditions of those in them
wait a second, what does 'compromise' mean again?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
So great to see how unified the Republican Party was on today's vote concerning statements I made about four Democrat Congresswomen. If you really want to see statements, look at the horrible things they sa
....visible members of the House Democrats, who are now wedded to this bitterness and hate. The Republican vote was 187-4. Wow! Also, this was the first time since 1984 that the Speaker of the House was ruled Out of Order and broke the Rules of the House. Quite a day!
