My Peruvian gf has distinctive Native American features.  While sitting at a sushi bar a little over a week ago, the Japanese chef stared then asked her if she was from Asia.  Next time I’ll have her answer, ‘Mongolia’, just to fuck with them.

I just can't avoid ye olde term "Mongoloid" for Down's syndrome.  This C-unit can't be bothered to learn Spanish well enough to understand native speakers, but I'm sure she's an expert on what Mongolian looks, and sounds like.  Instead of say Nepalese, Siberian, Thibetan...

I have a little trouble understanding Español when they talk too quickly, but I don't blame them for it.  Nor do I claim to be an expert.  This sounds a lot like a racist, trying not to sound racist.  Sorry, "Nativist," that must be PC for Xenophobic.

If you can't tell the difference between Spanish, and Mongolian, that's a little beyond "Belief."  Wonder what the First Nations Tribes feel about these new "Nativist" beliefs?

Native Americans came from Asia, so many will have Asian features.  As for thier language, I had no idea that Native American languages were offensive to anyone, but I guess there are all kinds of idiots out there.

Chris Wallace Debunks Sarah Sanders' Bullshit on Terrorists Coming Across the Southern Border

Sanders trotted out a typically absurd Trump administration claim: that “thousands” of potential terrorists are coming into the U.S. over the southern border.

Wallace played a clip of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielson repeating this lie at a press conference this week.

“CBP has stopped over 3,000 what we call special interest aliens trying to come into the country on the southern border. Those are aliens who the Intel community has identified are of concern,” Nielson said in the clip.

Wallace pointed out that this is, you know, not true.

“But special interest aliens are just people who have come from countries that have ever produced a terrorist, they’re not terrorists themselves,” Wallace said.

“The state department says, quote, ‘there was no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico,” he added, citing a government report from September.

Sanders responded by flatly repeating the claim.

“We know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border,” she said, before Wallace cut her off.

“I know the statistic, I didn’t know if you were going to use it, but I studied up on this,” Wallace said. “Do you know what those 4,000 people come where they are captured? Airports.”

“Not always,” Sanders replied, clearly grasping. “It’s by air it’s by land it’s by sea, it’s all of the above, but one thing that you’re forgetting is at the most vulnerable point of entry that we have into this country is our southern border. You have to protect it, and the more and more that individuals know that....”

“But they’re not coming across the southern border, Sarah, they’re coming and they’re being stopped at airports,” Wallace said.

Sanders made one last attempt to stand her ground.

“They’re coming a number of ways, they’re certainly, I’m not disagreeing with you that they’re coming through airports,” she responded. “I’m saying that they come by air by land and by sea, and the more and more that our border becomes vulnerable and the less and less that we spend time and money protecting it the more that we’re going to have an influx, not just of terrorists, but of human traffickers and drug inflow.”

She did not note how many terrorists are coming by dirigible or submarine.

Welcome to 1984.

Sanders is at the head of Minitrue.

[psiberzerker]

Why is he pretending to shut down the country?  He's threatening to keep it shut down, if he doesn't get funding for his racism memorial, but he has no control over the shutdown.  Even if he did, he'd blame someone else for the failure in government.

Look everybody, see how the government doesn't work when I'm president?  I mean, I'll shut it down until I get me wall!

Edit  Thanks Katiebee, for missing the point.: 

[Katiebee]

No, the press is doing its job and reporting what has happened. The editorials can make a statement about whom is responsible. The News organizations can only say it is happening and report the stataements of the players.

Which shows that the Press is trying to remain objective and not partisan.

[psiberzerker]

Okay, but they're carrying on the narrative that Trump has anything to do with the shutdown.  Of course they're doing their jobs reporting it, but they're taking the talking point from Trump.  He's taking credit for it, and attention away from the Senate refusing to fund the House.

[Katiebee]

The press doesn’t tell you what to think. That is the responsibility of the citizenry. We simply need smarter citizens.

[psiberzerker]

LOL, okay?  That was your point?  They got the story wrong, they listened to the wrong source.  I even bought it until I found out what really happened.

Almost as if I didn't let it tell me what to think!  Not going to say anything about this being the wrong thread, just going to press that one point?

[Katiebee]

You aren’t listening, or comprehending. The press has been fair and reported both sides. And yes, stupid people adhering to dogma because BENGHaZI mindset predisposes them to it is no excuse.

You want to rail at me because we don’t have partisan liberal needs? You can stop right there.
Democracies carry the seeds of their demise inherently in the fair and pballance mindset of political discourse and news. K

IT’s just like Ben Franklin said when asked why kind of government they had given the people. “A republic, Ma’am, if you can keep it.”
Democracies/Republics fall from within because their citizens become lazy and complacent, and follow demagogues who appleal to their fears and hatred.

So don’t go blaming the 4th Estate. They are doing their job.

[psiberzerker]

You want to rail at me because we don’t have partisan liberal needs?

I'm not railing at anyone.  I made an observation, and you picked a point about the press.  You want to rail at me for mentioning the press?  Go right ahead.

That was the last word of my post.  I said something about Donald Trump taking credit for the shutdown.

Why is he pretending to shut down the country?  He's threatening to keep it shut down, if he doesn't get funding for his racism memorial, but he has no control over the shutdown.  Even if he did, he'd blame someone else for the failure in government.

Look everybody, see how the government doesn't work when I'm president?  I mean, I'll shut it down until I get me wall!

I'm sorry I mentioned the press.  There, you happy?

He does control the shutdown by promising to veto any budget that doesn’t include an unnecessary wall.

Democrats know you can’t give into such blackmail or he’ll do it again and again like a fat toddler that screams for an unnecessary cookie until he gets one, he’ll just scream for a 2nd and 3rd unnecessary cookie.

[psiberzerker]

He does control the shutdown by promising to veto any budget that doesn’t include an unnecessary wall.

Impeach his ass!  Come on, WTF are we waiting for?  Yes, he retroactively took credit for it, and he's even managed to back-door in that stipulation, but that just means the Senate can prolong it by not funding his Racism Memorial, and then blame the stump. 

[Lois]

Trump has done more impeachable things than any President that's been impeached so far, but still we should await Mueller's final report.

As for threatening to declare a state of emergency so that he can build his wall, I hope he gets smacked down hard.

The only place I might support building a wall is in an area along the Mexico-Arizona border where crossing in the heat of spring-summer-fall is deadly.  Human remains are often found there and it is very remote.  But would a wall here really save lives?  Probably not. people would still have to watch the wall to ensure no one climbs it or digs under it or blows a hole in it ....

https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2017/05/12/arizona-migration-tracked-online-death-map-human-remains/

But even a wall here would be problematic.  Indian Reservations and private ranches straddle the border. By treaty with the Tohono O'Odham we cannot divide their lands or we violate at least one treaty.

So, problems all around.
