Him being there is as intended, so there's no way he'd leave. He's been pretty loyal to Trump so far.Seems appropriate. I'm sure there will be objections just because its her and a presumption there is no racism

Ocasio-Cortez Calls On Stephen Miller To Resign Amid White Nationalist Email Leak
“He’s still at the White House shaping US immigration policy," the freshman Democrat wrote after the Trump adviser's emails to Breitbart were revealed.www.yahoo.com
See post below.Lol the WH is not denying that the emails are Millers but instead has decided to call reporters asking questions about them antisemitic on background. What a bunch of useless fucks.
Dems are smart enough not to wear it on their sleeve like dumb Repubs while using it to loot the country and thus creating much of the divisions you see today.Dems always making up racism where there isn't any.

Pubs hate, just hate, to be reminded of this.Yes he said that. Yes he was a racist old coot...you're also completely unconcerned that he said this in reference to Southern Democrat anti-Civil Rights strategy, which led to them motivating old racists to flee the democratic party and hijack the GOP in "perpetual protest."
And these old racist fucks that make up the foundation and the columns of the GOP tent are still litigated Civil Rights today.
LBJ continues to be 100% correct.
You're on a roll today. LBJ wasn't advocating the strategy but illuminating the strategy, dragging it out into the open in order to let folks know that they were being had.Dems are smart enough not to wear it on their sleeve like dumb Repubs while using it to loot the country and thus creating much of the divisions you see today.

plus it probably added to leading him not to run for a second termYep. LBJ understood himself & the culture in which he was raised. He recognized & overcame his own prejudice to do the right thing for America. He was also horribly wrong about Vietnam, something that overwhelmed the country at the time & his legacy today.

I don't know if I agree with that. There were incentives in terms of locking up the black vote for Democrats which make me question such motivation.
When LBJ signed the civil rights act he said (correctly) that Democrats had lost the south for a generation. Are you saying he thought this was to his electoral advantage?
I actually don't know enough. I was taught in the past about that motivation. This Snopes page provides some context: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-voting-democratic/
I think it's fair to say from those statements that LBJ had awareness of advantages to pursuing the civil rights act apart from it being the right thing to do.
Lastly, the historical evidence suggests that far from being concerned about securing future generations of black votes, one of Johnson’s main worries — which, to his credit, didn’t prevent him from pushing for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — was losing the votes of white Southerners.
He Knew he had doomed the democratic party in the south. But, he did the right thing. Country over party.When LBJ signed the civil rights act he said (correctly) that Democrats had lost the south for a generation. Are you saying he thought this was to his electoral advantage?
Gotta love it how the Democrats are somehow responsible for one of Trump's senior advisors being a white supremacist racist shitbag. There's bothsides, and then there's just blatant lying.
They are what happens when a group of people became so authoritarian in mindset that they begin to perceive any exercise of freedom by another group of people as a threat to their own freedom.Liberals do something bad: 'Liberals are bad!'
Conservatives do something bad: 'They only did it because liberals are bad!'
I can quickly name 5 just in this forumSo, uhh, who isn't ashamed that our President has a white supremacist as senior adviser? OTOH, who isn't surprised?
