Probably. Every plane landing here probably does too.



Probably also true. Just less than the people already living here.



Oops.



Definitely true.

So I gave him credit for three somewhat accurate statements out of four. Only one was super racist and offensive. Actually way lower than his usual percentage.


The context was illegal immigrants, though, that is the point of contention. It was not "all Mexicans" as built-the-racism AT P&N likes to suggest.

go away russian.

I have to give him credit for making a thread all about himself...lol! We're 153 posts in to this thread and one out of every six of them is Comrade Slow, slogging away at it in his dacha, chain-smoking cheap cigarettes and swilling cheap vodka.

Like the Russians running their nations industries, he thinks volume is superior to quality.

i love how he will fight about literally anything for hours on end but the moment you call him a russian he will not comment on it. Its like they have orders from on high that if you dont engage the accusations they will go away.

I see that the Republicans REALLY DID think that when they gave thousands of dollars to Trump, it would remain secret. Now they are upset that their dirty little secret has been revealed, because it might cost them money. They wanted to give money to morally bankrupt dumpster fire like Trump, but not have anyone know about it. Now they are pissed. When they watched all those pieces on FoxNews about Hillary donors... where did they think that info came from? Phone calls to the donors themselves?

So they're ashamed to be Trump supporters? Got it

Nobody said you couldn't troll people. Trump is being blamed for causing mass shootings and inciting violence with his words and actions. Since most people are regularly combing through GOP donor list, I guess Castro's actions are not unusual? Any person with an IQ about 4, knows that Castro is listing names of people so they can be shamed and harassed by the tolerant left and maybe become targets of the Dem's brown shirts.
Bottom line --NOBODY CARES!! QUIT WHINING!!

It shows how crazy this country has gotten. Even other leftists are saying that Castro was wrong for this and that it is dangerous. Someone searching out a piece of particular publicly available information is a whole different ballgame than an elected politician putting up the information in lights with the intent of harassment. I cannot believe how dishonest some posters here are being over this, party over logic.

"When they go low, we go high." Remember that? L O L
I totally agree!! Hell that doesn`t even include the Republican party....now thats a problem...hahaaa

I speak of "the left" because there is a pool of people that do consider themselves leftists, liberals. Do you not agree with this? I am referring to that pool of people and the policies they stand for, generally speaking.

Alex Jones is known to say some wild things, and his reputation reflects that. I'm not for him inciting harassment or violence, but at the very least what a private citizen does isn't the same as when an elected official does it.
Wrong!! If a private citizen does it in public it is the same!!

How does the quote below translate to 1) all people in Mexico are rapists 2) all immigrants are rapists 3) all illegal immigrants are rapists? You guys are making gigantic leaps from what was said to what you are implying was said.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.”


I feel like you guys would scream racism if someone pointed out that there was a lot of crime in some neighborhoods in Chicago or Detroit, etc. You guys put the emphasis on race, YOU make the racism.
I didn't say he said "all Mexicans were rapists" He said most Mexicans crossing the southern border are rapists (paraphrashed)

So is there evidence most Mexicans even crossing illegally are rapists?? Or did you pull that out of Trump's ass?

Is that why whenever Islamic extremism occurs, you demand that we ban an entire religion, but whenever white supremacy occurs, you claim that 'leftists' are 'manufacturing racism'?

What Muslim ban are you talking about? The one Obama did?

Trump didn't suggest it over where one was born, he was talking specifically about a portion of illegal immigrants coming across our border. Why do you guys lie? If Trump is so bad you should be able to crucify him based on real facts, you shouldn't need so much embellishment.
We all know that Illegal Aliens = Illegal Immigrants = Undocumented Immigrants = Immigrants = Trump is a racist.

Nice way to think about it. Since we have crime, it's ok if more comes in.

When someone in Catro's campaign tweets information about conservative donors that is available to the public, the conservative response to Castro's campaign manager is:

@MayaRupert
Last night after a bunch of people feigned outrage over – from best I can tell – @castroforcongress seeing public information and tweeting about it – someone found my personal cell phone number and texted me a series of racist, misogynistic and anti-fat threats and insults.

Oh the poor, triggered conservative that was driven to attack a woman. Over nothing but freely available information. It's almost as if they don't want people to know that they donate to Felonious D, like maybe they are ashamed for people to know it...lol!

So much for the First Amendment because an elected member of the Federal Government is retaliating against citizens because they have differing opinions and politics. Progressheviks are not even trying to hide their totalitarian ways anymore.

You still haven’t showed harm. The fact that you’re pooping peach pits over this suggests that we should take a closer look at those donations.

When an elected politicians publicly names nonpublic people, that donated to political rivals, along with who employs them, I guess it just a nothing burger. Just a PSA from Castro so we can know who the Nazis and white supremacists are. I'm sure you want to go and punch each one.

Nyet, Comrade Bull! I know that this may be hard to understand but our country has information about political donors that is available to the public for exactly the reason that Castro is using it. To inform people, which his campaign is doing. Everyone gets to do this, nobody is restrained from doing it. Conservatives can go ahead and do the same thing (to no effect because the left doesn't have a Trump-type...lol!) so nobody has any advantage here. It's just pointing out information that is available to the public.

The purpose is to inform people, something that is completely foreign to a Russian, thus I can understand your confusion, Comrade Bull.

Or, perhaps stop eating at that one guy’s barbecue place?

You realize that your lot’s biggest problem is that you assume that we think like you—that when Castro tweets his distaste for someone, we all want them dead and gone. You fail to realize that we’re not ruled by our basest fears and animal instincts, that we’ve PROGRESSED.

The guy who gave us Moscow Mitch to throw at McConnell, has this to say about the big money Trump donors:

“The president never tones down his rhetoric. In fact, for those of you who are funding Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, you may want to take note that because you keep writing checks to this president it’s on you, it really is, because you are funding this white supremacist campaign,” Scarborough said on "Morning Joe." The former Republican congressman called out the “CEOs,” “business people,” “millionaires and billionaires” who are donating to Trump despite what Scarborough said are continued white supremacist attacks by the president. “It’s your money that is funding this white supremacy because you won't tell him to stop. You won’t tell him 'talk about the economy and I’ll write you a check, keep up the white supremacist attacks and I’m gonna ask for a refund,'” he said.

“Why is that? Are you a white supremacist? Does your company support white supremacy? Does a corporation that you run, do they support white supremacy? Because the attacks and the attempts continue.”

So I think it's best if we keep publicizing the names of his donors, especially the big ones, for all to see. If conservatives want to fund the campaign of a white supremacist President then let the people see who is paying his way. The only people voting for Trump in 2020 will be white supremacists, neo-NAZIs and their sympathizers.

Name them and shame them.
