Reps. Omar, Pressley, Tlaib, and AOC Press Conference on President Trump's tweets.
- Thread starter Brewm0nt
- Start date
Why am I not surprise that the poster who tone polices:
And plays victim while dismissing abuse claims:
is telling women of color to shut up about their harassment?
Twitter is complete garbage. You're better off not giving a flying fuck what ever is trending on Twitter. That shit could be Russian bots for all we know.
God, this planet would be so much better off without Twitter. What a cesspool of disinformation and hot takes.
I just can't even believe Trump is trying to call someone else a foul mouth. The problem with Trump is he is so vile and amoral that when he tries to use a moral argument it falls flat. His excuse he only men Omar when he used plural words is comically pathetic. It does seem that this time besides the GOP and far-right wingers everyone else saw this for what it was which is outright, overt racism.
Once again, white moderates put the burden and the risk of standing up for what's right on people of color.
Democratic leadership, where the fuck are you?
Oh right telling these women to shut up and know their place.

Everything I said seems plainly obvious to me. Not sure what you're asking.
And this is telling those women to shut up?
You said Democratic Leaders are telling them to shut up. Where?
Here's hoping unless Grandpa Joe wins the nomination.
Then again, Cheeto said equally worse things in the campaign and still won.
Have people already forgotten the series of events that led Trump to single out these four women in the first place? He didn't start the news cycle that culminated in this.
Guess that's why Pelosi is rushing to put that resolution to a vote, hoping that people will forget everything she's done to put a target on their backs (especially Omar's).
It's probably important that people remember that the reason any of this is happening is because of the Squad had enough of Pelosi trashing them in interviews and punched back after the most recent reminder from The Queen that they're just "four people"
The likes of that ghoul don't just get to turn around and jump on the Good Press Bandwagon now
The Problem Solvers Caucus is a gaggle of hideous monsters who could hardly be distinguished from centipede creatures in dim lighting
Calling them the "child abuser caucus" is generous

Did you miss what started this and caused Trump to jump in and defend Pelosi?
This is a misrepresentation of the facts.
"Don't publicly refer to party colleagues as racists and child abusers" is not the same as "shut up and know your place".
Yeah, that was a week ago, and I think Trump's racism has backfired and has now united Democrats. Or at least put their differences aside for now. Thats what I"ve been hearing on MSNBC and CNN at least.
That's what started this though. That's what Trump picked up on.
Sure, but I thought people were talking about NOW. Instead of driving a further wedge between Pelosi and the freshmen democrats, or just doing nothing and letting the democrats infight, he's united them against him.
Mark Pocan did that. Pelosi did not publically criticise him.
But the ones she put down were AOC, Tlaib, Rashida and Omar.
Yes but are the bigots and assholes who support him a minority in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan? We were already in the majority last time around.
Right except she personally apologized to Mark Pocan who is a white male for calling them the child abuse caucus and didn't do shit for the women minorities. Hmmmmmmmm
Your schtick doesn't work anymore
In what sense are they reunited though.
Pelosi is just tweeting weak bromides.
It did a good job of taking the spotlight off the embarrassing behavior of dem leaders yeah, but it's done nothing to """""unify""""" anyone but the Squad themselves. The narrative that "the dems are setting aside their differences to stand up to Trump" disintegrates when you look at what started this situation in the first place, and how it's going to continue to go.
The Pelosis of congress still hate the Squad-types. This will continue to be made clear now that they don't have any problem speaking out when Pelosi throws pot shots. Or, more likely, Nancy will go on to keep her stupid mouth shut to avoid making a stink like this again.
It's a shame since folks really need more of this back and forth within the party to proceed so that they can see past these painfully transparent MSNBC and CNN narratives of "See! They're all on the same team and getting along!!!"
TFW When you only have one tactic and everyone can see right through it.
Trump played himself yet again but Pelosi's response should've been way more aggressive than the milquetoast tweet we got
The Squad is just gonna keep laying it out there over and over tho

lol %Rump basically said, all but telegraphed that the Dems would have no choice but to embrace them now that he's attacked them in that fashion. If Pelosi wants to change her tune now or just let all the other leaders chime in and sing praises of the Squad that would also be smart.
how it is he has such a clear view of this, I don't know. and it's kind of scary, tbh. he basically gave them a bridge, and the smart dems will cross it to defend them and declaim Tramp.
lol, this is a real post.
Hey its ok, its inevitable that people like Pelosi will end up taking credit for the talents of the people she spent months firing potshots at.
I know we shouldn't post count shame but it's really fucking tiring when we see the same <500 post alts come in here with their concern trolling
Just a refresher, the person who called the Problem Solvers Caucus the Child Abusers Caucus got this treatment;
Contrast this;
So is it about unity or is it about something else

Actually, tone policing is a very common form of the know your place microagression.
Also, that's not the only time Pelosi has attacked and singled out these young women of color.
I hate saying this but most of my family is fully supportive of Trump's racist agenda. Yes that makes them racists. But... we're a minority too. We're Indian. WTF.
Do think about why the response is weak. It's both enlightening and depressing
Minorities signing off on racism against other minorities isn't a new thing. The "Fuck you. I got mine" phenomenon is far from being exclusive to white people. In fact, pitting minorities against one another is a tried and true tactic by the powerful to keep people from focusing on who their ire should truly be aimed at.
Yeah, Dems really tryna square away how this all happened. Lets break this down a bit,
This all started because Pelosi's trash ass wanted to beat on the Progressive sect of the party. So much so that we saw Repubs, Whiny McCain and Clown himself jump in to push a wedge issue in the matter.
Did people forget the thread we had last couple days? People (including me) were pissed at Pelosi's weak shit and still are and it was dominating the news cycle. But what we see now is that Clown being Clown utterly fucked up and pushed to far. He thought he could bet on orange and went completely overboard with the rhetoric. It was a terrible tweet, but him coming out today and hearing it spew from his mouth? Man... the double down was incredible.
Clown did what he did best, sucked the air out the room and made everyone focus on his banality. Media is having a frenzy railing on him, overtly labeling his words racist. So its an opportune time to run the media circuit on Clown Man, easy lay ups.
This is compounded with Pence and the ghost ICE Raids (supposedly) that just happened.
Its super intruiging to watch but like every flashpoint, this will blow over eventually until the next hot topic pops up. However, don't let this fool you into thinking theres Dem unity.... wtf Pelosi look like if she still didn't show up for our Reps when Clown takes a big shot like that. Its the only fucking reason she's pushed to do this half ass "resolution".
Maybe she'll fucking learn that taking shots at her progressive members sends the image that its an open frenzy and will stop with the bullshit, a smart leader wouldn't need to be told these things.
Don't know about that Obama statement but at least he's admiting his administration has people including children living in cages.
White supremacy doesn't just affect white people. Everyone is vulnerable.
Show your family what Bannon things about south asians. And some light passages of The Camp of the Saints. That's the material that's inspiring Trump's racist agendas.
