The legitimacy of your presidency is in question. The corruption of your administration is not. You are a national stain and an international embarrassment. You are anti-intellectual and pro-impulse. The same fingers with which you compulsively tweet are dangerously close to the nuclear codes. You are historically unpopular and history will not be kind to you. It is all so dizzyingly distressing.
But what irks me most is your targeted attacks on historically marginalized populations as a political ploy to secure the support of the racists, misogynists and homophobes.
During your campaign, you pathologized black people and generalized about their daily lives, ultimately making this pitch : “What the hell do you have to lose?”
You hovered over a taco bowl and insisted, “ I love Hispanics !”
You told CNN , “I love the Muslims. I think they’re great people.”
All of these were lies, demonstrated by your actions in office. Your hostility toward minorities and your courting and coddling of the people who hate them has become a standard practice of your presidency.
We see that in your continued attempts to institute a Muslim ban and your continued insistence on building your wall of hate.
We see it in the way that you attack Antifa but make excuses for white supremacists.
We see it in the way that you attack N.F.L. players protesting police violence, while you encourage police officers to be more violent. We see this in the way that your Justice Department is moving to return to rigid, racially skewed drug policies that helped to fuel our unconscionable level of mass incarceration, a phenomenon Michelle Alexander calls “the new Jim Crow,” while also returning to a reliance on private prisons .
We see this in the devastating contrast between the ways you have talked about and treated hurricane victims in Texas versus in Puerto Rico.
We see it just this week in your “ending a humanitarian program that has allowed some 59,000 Haitians to live and work in the United States since an earthquake ravaged their country in 2010,” as The New York Times put it.
Trump is clearly, blatantly, virulently hostile to people who are not white and non-Christian. That is not a statement of opinion, but a statement of demonstrated fact.
During the campaign, Trump tweeted: “Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.”
And yet, it is Trump who is proving to be a threat to the L.G.B.T. community, particularly to transgender Americans, with his ban on trans people in the military , his rescinding of federal protections for trans students, and his Justice Department’s reversal of a policy protecting trans workers .
Trump repeatedly said — or tweeted — during the campaign that he respected women. Anyone who had been at all aware of Trump or had access to a search engine knew that was a lie. But then, as real-time proof, the “Access Hollywood” tape was released on which Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women. And women came out in droves to personally accuse him of sexually inappropriate behavior, the kinds of accusations that people are now losing jobs over.
To add insult to injury, Trump the Groper has just thrown the weight and word of the presidency behind Roy Moore the Alleged Pedophile, choosing the claim of a single horrible man, even aside from the allegations, over nine women who seem to have nothing to gain by coming forward.
Trump not only doesn’t respect women, he doesn’t even hear women.
This man is a pathological liar. He commends and conforms to anyone who pretends to love him, whether they are Russians or racists. He is inherently a patriarchal white supremacist and it seeps out in all sorts of ways, but it is most pronounced in the way that he attacks people who are not white and male.
When you accept those truths, everything else makes sense.
But accepting the truth is not the same as accepting the liar. Trump is unacceptable in every possible way, and must continue to be met at every turn with the strong arm of defiance.
That is why today I recommit myself to resistance, and so should you.
Trump does not now and has never had the majority of the American people with him, although a site like NT with it's parade of Trumpian ignorance and bigotry can sometimes make it appear that he does.
The Resistance to Trump will end when the need for it ends, and not a minute sooner.
there never was a "need", only the hatred of the anti-American left
Of course there is a need. He is the most unqualified, corrupt , dishonest, and buffoonish president in American history.
The them it was a need. How else would they show the world that they can't handle defeat other than throwing a temper tantrum like a brat in Wal-Mart? After all, Trump did say mean things.
No that would be Baraq Hussein Obama. No skills, no experience, no qualifications at all. He was only elected because he was a well spoken black dude.
He was downright blunt and a bully of sorts, and dispensed with the politically correct bullshit. How refreshing after the previous eight years. That's why I voted for him, and would again.
And that is what was (and still is) needed. I see the "resistance" as nothing more than a group of adult children throwing a temper tantrum because the mean parent is now running the show.
you are channeling obama again...
trump is the best president we have had in my lifetime and the first to keep his promises.
example:
destruction of the liberal world order? tis a done deal.
happy thanksgiving
double post... is the site experienceing turkey induced lag?
Cheers
how oxymornic is that?
growing older is not the same as growing up.
Cheers
They may get older but the maturity is that of a 4 year old. They make that evident every day.
and there is serious debate about well spoken......
We have millions of armed veterans like myself who have taken an oath to defend Trump from all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC
I took an oath to defend my COUNTRY from domestic enemies like Trump and his whole slimy oligarchic gang of grifters. It would seem that you have your priorities all screwed up.
And there is no expiration date to that oath.
We have a different world view. the Democratic Party and the Establishment Republicans are enemies of the Republic
That is why we are committed to defending the Constitution from the Democrats and the Establishment Republicans who despise the Constitution
Is this the oath of the #Resistance?
Oaths are an interesting thing ... The Military takes an oath, as do members of Congress, Justices and the President ... etc ... in order to be become a naturalized citizen there is an oath / pledge to support and defend the United States of America's Constitution, thus protecting the Republic .. the #Resistance oath just seems to be against all things Trump.
I am not a Trump fan, nor was I an Obama fan - yet one is the President and one was the President, my personal opinions did not / does not take away from my respect of the office .. thus the man in it! Sucks don't it!
One can respect the office of the president without respecting Donald Trump, so I am not sure what your point is.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving JohnRussell ............ I have nothing else for you!
I've noticed.
You’re starting to sound like America’s next mass shooter.
Good deal, I have noticed that you like to argue petty things - I believe you know exactly what my point was / is regarding taking of an oath - yet the only comment made was something anti-Trump ...
Good luck with yourself!
Sorry Perrie if I violated the Code - I did it as politely as I could!
I believe I have seen you defend Trump here from time to time.
If that is not the case, accept my apology.
We've heard all this before John. What's your point? You still don't "get it" do you?
As you can see, this idiotic resistance has been an epic failure, and the Democrats continue to lose any remaining credibility and influence they may have once had.
All this whiny, crying, poor me shyt from Hillary and her fellow shysters is getting a bit old and boring. The voters thinks so too.
Don't say we didn't warn ya when the next electoral wave next November comes in and washes even more liberal stench away
Your thoughts are nothing but Fox News boilerplate, which is why I skip over them without a second thought for the most part.
There is absolutely no evidence that Trump is popular outside of his 35% base. The country needs to stop letting a minority of idiots dictate national discussion topics.
Trump has lied or misled , in public statements and comments, more than 1600 times so far this year.
You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this piece of shit that disgraces our country every day.
Just a couple of things
There is no Muslim ban. There is a moratorium on allowing citizens of certain select countries that will be not be allowed entry into the US and amore stringent vetting process is going to be used for them in the future. The vast majority of the Muslim world has no such restrictions.
Antifa deserves all the scorn and attacks it receives. That you even come close to xecending them and their actions show just how much you hate the US and what she stands for. Do cite where he has ever made excuses for white supremasists
How words come back to haunt us:
“We know, in our country, the difference between leadership and dictatorship. And the peaceful transition of power is something that sets us apart,” Hillary Clinton told a crowd of about 1,600 at the Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland.
Hillary- the wannabe dictator
Hillary is an insane and corrupt crook.
Sounds more like you just admitted that you would be a stalker. And from what we've seen, a stalker who will freak out at every little thing the President does.
that is why he hangs out here at the new stalkers .com
ha
Most Americans do not support this travesty you people elected. Get that through your thick skulls.
you can not speak for "most people"
and after 4yrs of better than obamas 2% GDP, more secure borders, less taxes, and more jobs?? trump will be re-elected easily.
to be honest here... 20/20 is already in the bag
You do see the contradiction in that statement don't you?
I’m thankful for the resistance. They’ve been resisting since he came down the golden escalator and did a great job of motivating conservatives to get out and vote. Trump couldn’t have won without them.
That's true. He couldn't have won without them. Sometimes I wonder if we don't give them the credit they deserve. Thanks Liberals!!!!
Wasserman found this neat nugget near Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Trump far outperformed Clinton. In this part of the state, the only real bright spot for the former secretary of state was the precinct that contained a country club.

It's the same old story, all those Liberal men fighting with the women for women's rights, but when the truth finally comes out we finally realize they really were fighting with the women for women's rights. The only thing is it was the women who were fighting for women's rights against all those outspoken Liberal men pretending to be something they weren't. The article above......
Now don't forget to accept those truths from the Slimes who has dedicated much of the last century into this century to fight Capitalism with Socialism, actually promoting Communism at every opportunity they could along the way. These are the kind of people who tell you one thing when they are doing something else, or to put it plainly, lying, twisting and trying to fool the people, who aren't fooled any longer as you have witnessed.
