trump is blabbering at one of his rallies and said this. I listened to the video a couple of times, I mean seriously it’s hard to understand what this fool means, and he pretty much said as noted below. Does ”poisoning the blood of our country” mean diluting it with blood from the countries he mentioned through mix marriages. Or the old “there is more of them than us” nonsense. I wonder how much the fact this country is losing its white majority has to do with this rhetoric? Acyn…. “Trump: They’re poisoning the blood of country.. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world not just in South America… but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia x.com/acyn/status/1736113307319210375?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw

These guys do…
The Lincoln Project….
“This type of rhetoric is dangerous and vile. He is blatantly copying language used by Hitler to construct a similar fascist regime.”
Random responses…
”Is it still unreasonable to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler? Or do we still need more time?”
”This is the most dangerous man in America and people cheering this. Please pay attention.”
“And still people will still say....
"Nah, it couldn't happen here*

I guess I did understand what he was saying. Mehdi Hasan… ”Classic Trump: say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like and it gets headlines, creates outrage. So wait a little. Then say it again, no one notices, no coverage, and it gets normalized and mainstreamed. Let’s be clear: migrants ‘poisoning the blood’ is Hitler rhetoric.” x.com/mehdirhasan/status/1736129309796897133?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwlucyg says we are doomed. I don’t disagree. But think we’ve reach the point where we should be scared, very very scared of this guy and his supporters and what they are saying and doing.

Ron Filipkowski….
”At his rally in NH today, Trump praised dictators Kim and Xi again for their ability to “ruthlessly control” their countries, and has now made Hitler’s “poisoning the blood of our country” rhetoric a standard feature of his rally speeches. Story …”

Demagoguery against "others" has always been one of the reasons his ignorant, mostly-white, lower-to-lower-middle income base cheers for him. As a malignant narcissist, he repeats the things that get him the adulation he craves. It is, as it has always been, a sickening spectacle.

Either way it is racist. But I am sure a few peas will be here in a few minutes to tell us that he really didn't say that or it wasn't meant that way.

Nah, they are all holed up in their hidey-holes until the latest shit storm blows over. They go to ground when it gets so bad that their fellow republicans are bad mouthing the psycho. This crap is so indefensible they don't have the guts to talk about it. The last time aj2hall asked hard questions on the Texas wants this woman to carry her nonviable baby to term thread, the one who moos went radio silent. Up until then they were mouthing all over the threads. Now in hiding until the honest questions and the missing top secret files are forgotten.

Yes, he is saying what you think he is!
Just caught a bit on CNN, that he is grooming us, everyone, to not be bothered when he actually starts putting immigrants in camps/jails deporting etc, also reporters and dissenters including Biden and Jack Smith into 'mental' hospitals.. we will be immune to it happening, and we will be next. The military will come for us... Wonder where that happened no so long ago...
BTW: I think Hitler used to poisoning of blood... White supremacists do also... Again, we are being groomed to accept or be locked away...

Well now I know where I heard it. New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat appeared on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, where she was asked about comments the former president made earlier in the day. Specifically, Trump once again said that migrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," repeating language purportedly used by Hitler and other dictators.*** She replied, "This is fascist rhetoric. The worries about polluting the blood of the superior race go as a standard of Nazism. It's not just the Nazis. It's also fascists, Italy. Mussolini literally talked about killing rats, to go back to Trump's use of vermin in an earlier speech. He talked about killing rats, who were bringing infectious diseases and communism into Italy. youtu.be/_xsUHOdv98o?si=evJqUkDhB7Js2nKTwww.rawstory.com/trump-expert-on-authoritarian-2666613133/

BREAKING: Florida man, 4 of whose 5 children were born of immigrant mothers, says immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” Ah but that must be okay. They're white immigrants, who look just like "us".

oning the blood of our country” mean diluting it with blood from the countries he mentioned through mix marriages. I think he means anyone coming from a country, who is not pale caucasion, white skin, is poisoning this country. I surmise: Anyone allowed with yellow, brown or black skin is poisoning this country.

Being Canadian, I don't follow U.S. politics as closely as most of you do, but I do pay attention. I have questions:
Why is this madman still allowed to spew his poison? What will it take for the people to stop listening to him?
He should be in prison by now, but he just keeps rolling along spreading lies and hate.

A friend at church this morning said the problem is that we just keep repeating everything …it would be better if we could all just ignore him and maybe he would just go away. But that won’t happen, I fear.
Remember when he used to tell people he was Swedish, and eventually had to admit that he was really German?

I’m all for ignoring him but unfortunately his followers seems to be getting more brazen. We can’t just ignore what he is doing to our country. I was hoping after he lost he would just sort of disappear and life would start to go back to normal which it kind of did and then he and they started getting louder as we get closer to the next election. They seem to be picking up speed.

I still want to know how he ever got elected in the first place! My kids were previously scared about him getting elected and I told them 'there is no way the US is going to elect a reality TV jerk to run our country'.

Seemingly new border state of Iowa GOP voters are embracing TFG worsening rhetoric up to and including full interment of all immigrants!! And Abbott has signed laws that are in violation of our Constitution for and all LE to arrest immigrants illegally crossing the border. THEY ARE SIGNED AS OF TONIGHT!!! Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continued his anti-migrant crusade on Monday with plans for a Brownsville signing ceremony for a pair of state bills that legal experts and rights groups say are dangerous and violate the U.S. Constitution. Senate Bill 3 allocates $1,540,000,000 for border security, including constructing contested new barriers to limit undocumented immigration from Mexico and helping communities enforce S.B. 4. As the ACLU of Texas explained, that bill "authorizes any and all law enforcement to arrest, and judges to order removed, anyone suspected of having entered Texas without papers." It also creates a state crime for unlawfully entering Texas from a foreign country—punishable by up to six months in jail or a $2,000 fine.*** Immigration is clearly a federal authority, and this legislation knowingly dances on the edge of constitutional cliffs at the expense of vulnerable children and families." *** "S.B. 4 represents a recipe for racial profiling, making ethnicity a shortcut to suspicion," she warned. "These new measures will not rebuild trust among immigrant communities that have long grappled with the specter of detention and deportation. To the contrary, they are poised to create a chilling effect, deterring immigrants from seeking necessary assistance or cooperating with law enforcement, and jeopardizing the safety and cohesion of Texan communities as a whole." Other critics have shared similar warnings. Jennifer Babaie, director of advocacy and legal services at Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, said earlier this month that "S.B. 4 violates the constitutional rights of individuals, disregards the safety of Texas communities, and encourages racial profiling and discrimination against people of color."www.rawstory.com/texas-gov-to-sign-harmful-and-unconstitutional-anti-migrant-bills/

I guess this answers the question... MAGA triggered by Black people in Jill Biden's White House Christmas show: columnist Kathleen Culliton December 18, 2023 3:29PM ET There’s a reason MAGA conservatives were unable to articulate what they hated about First Lady Jill Biden’s White House holiday show, argues Salon’s Amanda Marcotte. It's plain bigotry,” writes Marcotte. “The first smiling face we see in the video is a Black woman. Throughout the video, many of the dancers read as people of color and queer people. Plus, the music is jazz, not classical. We are apparently at that point in fascist development where they reject syncopated rhythms as decadent and emasculating.” Marcotte came to the defense Monday of the Dorrance Dance company’s tap dance to a jazz rendition from "The Nutcracker Suite.” The video spurred angry vitriol from conservative commenters who called the video — in which dancers in gaudy costumes dance through the corridors of the White House — “grotesque” and compared it to smut, writes Marcotte. But, writes Marcotte, critics were “stubbornly unwilling to offer any specifics about their objections.” Marcotte was willing to be more blunt. “MAGA has their reasons to beat around the bush, but that shouldn't stop the rest of us,” she writes. “Anyone with working knowledge of right-wing trigger points knows what fueled the outrage, and it's not just a general right-wing aversion to fun.” Marcotte argues the outrage wasn’t quite as sincere as it seemed. “This should be seen as part of the larger MAGA project to categorize increasing amounts of culture as ‘woke’ and therefore forbidden,” the Salon analyst writes. “They're gradually reducing the amount of contact Trumpists have with the outside world, until the only entertainment they're allowed is old Donald Trump speeches.” She concludes that ultimately this socialized censorship is unpatriotic, pointing to the uniquely American history of jazz and tap, and its foundations in immigrant, queer and Black communities. “It's all why, as silly as this right-wing rage over a harmless tap dance video may be, it's still important to take note of it,” Marcotte writes. “This is part of the larger and growing culture war, aimed at rewriting American culture in their own image, while erasing the way immigration, racial diversity, and queerness have shaped it.” www.rawstory.com/jill-biden-white-house-christmas/

They also had the traditional nutcracker with the Ukrainian ballet on other days. I’m sure they wouldn’t like that either. 🙄
