Kids Are Quoting Trump To Bully Their Classmates And Teachers Don't Know What To Do About It

In the parking lot of a high school in Shakopee, Minnesota, boys in Donald Trump shirts gathered around a black teenage girl and sang a portion of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” replacing the closing line with “and the home of the slaves.” On a playground at an elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, third-graders surrounded a boy and chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

On a school bus in San Antonio, Texas, a white eighth-grader said to a Filipino classmate, “You are going to be deported.” In a classroom in Brea, California, a white eighth-grader told a black classmate, “Now that Trump won, you're going to have to go back to Africa, where you belong.” In the hallway of a high school in San Mateo County, California, a white student told two biracial girls to “go back home to whatever country you're from.” In Louisville, Kentucky, a third-grade boy chased a Latina girl around the classroom shouting “Build the wall!” In a stadium parking lot in Jacksonville, Florida, after a high school football game, white students chanted at black students from the opposing school: “Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump!”

Tweet thread, good bathroom reading:

1. Here's what seems plausible to me. Trump just likes Flynn. Thinks he's just a good white dude.

lol, so Comey testified today

He admitted to being a leaker

He admitted to being in collusion with the Clinton campaign

He admitted he told Trump that Trump was not being investigated, causing the New York Times and CNN to pull their fakes news stories

Btw, DC was pretty much shut down today, the bars were opened and offering free drinks for every Trump tweet during the testimony ... local news was advertising this morning for them..

lol, what a circus

lots of disappointed faces in the bars, Comey is in CYA mode, he is not giving them anything. Looks like Trump saying he taped the conversations has Comey on notice.

[Ari]

Your trolling must be this good to enter,

[erimir]

Comey telling newspapers about conversations he had that are not classified is not criminal in any way.

It is "leaking" in that he supplied the information without going on the record. Doesn't happen to be illegal or any strike against his credibility.

I see somebody has been reading his idiotic conservative talking points though. And coming up with some even more idiotic ones too.

[Jerome]

Lying under oath is a crime.

Comey said he leaked information in response to Trump implying through a tweet that he had tapes of their conversations.

Comey's leak was published on May 12th, meaning the paper had the information first, before Trump's tweet on May 12th.

Comey claims in testimony he did not leak the information to his friend until Monday night, May the 15th...

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Hard to say what Jerome's trying to distract from this time. The Dodd Frank repeal? AHCA behind closed doors shenanigans? His bloodlust?

Flo must disagree, dear. I’m about as old as that dear Senator McCain, and in my opinion he proved today that he is a credit to his age cohort.

Flo knows whiskey, and whiskey drinkers. Can you imagine an 80-year-old man in his cups all night long crawling out of bed in the morning, and — without even showering — throwing on his clothes and staggering down to Capitol Hill, where he manages to formulate a few intermittently coherent questions without even obviously slurring his words? All of which amounted to, "but her email!"

When you’re 80 and you can do that, young man, then you can criticize.

Jerome, do you like juicy pickles? What are you doing a week from this Saturday? (You can PM me if you'd like.)

[Miisa]

He got his phone back!

"Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!"

Late-night TV hosts have a field day with the Comey hearing - The Washington Post

Conan: “Today, House Speaker Paul Ryan defended Donald Trump’s behavior saying, ‘The president’s new at this.’ Ryan said, ‘And by ‘this’ I mean ‘following the law.’ ”

Meyers: “Then there was House Speaker Paul Ryan … saying basically that Trump was too dumb to know that what he was doing was wrong. So wait, the president is just learning on the job? Even at Chipotle you have to shadow someone for a week.”

4) When Trump didn’t tweet at all, and his staff kept him busy during the testimony.

Colbert: “Trump said he was going to live-tweet during the testimony. And he didn’t. Which means Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon managed to keep tossing Trump’s phone back and forth the entire time.”

Meyers: “President Trump did not post on Twitter … well, he thought he did, but his aide switched his phone with a Speak & Spell.”

Colbert: “There was a whole team at the White House assigned to keep Trump busy Thursday morning with meetings so he wouldn’t watch TV and tweet during the hearing. But they weren’t optimistic, saying, ‘If he wants to watch it, it’s not like we can say, oh, the TV doesn’t work.’ Oh yeah, he’s way too smart to fall for that. Have you tried turning the lights off and telling him he’s blind?”

Meyers: “It’s a sad state of affairs when the White House staff has to handle the president like a toddler on a road trip: ‘Okay, I got the iPad and the sticker book. Ziploc full of Cheerios, three binkys. I think we’re good!’ ”

Fallon: “Despite Comey’s testimony, a White House spokesperson said today is a regular Thursday at the White House. America was like, ‘Yeah. That’s what worries us.’ ”

[Jerome]

Trump implied again, at the press conference with the Romanian President, that he has tapes, and stated directly that Comey lied under oath at least twice.

This is the theater you were looking for.

[Watser?]

Trump keeps disagreeing with the Pentagon and the State Depratment as he trashes around like a lunatic bull in a Middle Eastern china shop...

TRUMP SLAMS QATAR FOR FUNDING TERROR AS TILLERSON URGES CALM

Which is actually good, because this creates a rift between Qatar/Turkey and their non-government allies in the region and the Saudi dominated axis which will stop the Saudis from going to war on Iran. For now anyway.

Trump again criticizes Qatar as his aides scramble to head off crisis with the U.S. ally

Meanwhile Turkey is cementing relations with Qatar:

[Jerome]

You don't seem to understand your point.

Are you for or against supporting countries that fund terrorism?

Btw, Pakistan has sent troops to Qatar.

"The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level," Trump said, echoing an allegation the Saudi-led group has used to justify cutting diplomatic ties to the tiny gas-rich kingdom. "We have to stop the funding of terrorism."

Aww, isn't that cute?! Our little boy is growing up! Seems like only yesterday ol' Donnie was cuckishly bending a knee in supplication to the monarch of the fundamentalist Muslim nation that leads the world in state sponsorship of radical Islamic terrorism.

No, you see there's terrists and then there's like terrists.

That's like saying Are you for or against countries?

[Watser?]

Which for the record I tend to be against!
