This is what happens when the U.S. president is an openly blatant racist:
Louisiana Police Officer Suggests Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Be Shot In Facebook Post
How long until someone really takes a shot at someone from The Squad, or some other Democrat or person of color?
Postscript: The police officer has been fired.
Trump, who cannot stand criticism, and his sycophantic lackeys like to claim that criticizing the president (when that president is Trump) is unpatriotic, even treasonous. This is of course, bullshit.
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. In an editorial, this is what he had to say about criticizing the president:
The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

This is just one example of why TR is regarded as one of our greatest presidents, and Trump will be seen as one of, if not the, worst.
Today Trump held another white-nationalist pep rally in North Carolina and ended up with a crowd chanting “send her back” as he ranted against The Squad. This is only going to get uglier.
How long until we start seeing hundreds of pointy white hats in the stands?
I mean, we’re talking Donald Trump here. There is no limit to how low he will go with his racist, white-nationalist rhetoric. If the House of Representatives actually gets around to passing a resolution condemning his latest attacks against the Congresswomen he hates so much, he will only turn up the volume and throw more verbal red meat to his base.
At this rate, we are likely only days (if not hours) away from Trump openly stating that he wants all non-whites to “go back where they came from.” And Tim Scott will probably applaud.
Trump’s latest racist screeds attacking non-white Democratic members of Congress do not even come with any attempt by anyone in his so-called administration trying to excuse them. Remember, this is now the “we don’t do press briefings” White House. It would seem that the people who “work” in the White House press office just sit around with their feet on their desks watching Fox News all day. But I digress…
No Republican of any significance has challenged or criticized Trump’s blatantly racist comments, nor will they. Trump is their meal ticket for staying in power, so they will continue to be spineless sycophants, heaping praise upon their dear leader.
Pardon me while I go throw up.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): Gutless
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.): Spineless
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.): Man of Fear!
They all thought threats to their careers more important than threats to our institutions.
On Monday, October 30, 2017, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said that a “lack of ability to compromise led to the Civil War.” So I would like to ask him a question.
Mr. Kelly, what sort of compromise position is acceptable when you are talking about slavery?
You may have been a general once, but now you are just another clueless asshole enabling Trump.
