Lesser of Two Evils


What is the lesser of two evils -- Trump calling the country Haiti a "shithole" or the Clintons' stealing $1.3 billion of earthquake relief funds from this same country? See: National Review Article.

Sidebar; President Truman once called something a "pile of manure." A reporter then asked Bess Truman if she couldn't get her husband to say "fertilizer" instead of "manure?" She replied that it had taken her many years to get him to say "manure" ...

Your cited article is written by an avowed Clinton Hater, Dinesh DeSousa (another biased Dartmouth alum.) Too bad there is no proof to back up the claims.

So you now automatically dismiss any new written by Trump haters? May I suggest you go to that well researched and documented book, "Clinton Cash". Also Hillary's brother then got the first gold mining license in Haiti for 50 years. Coincidence? Nah, can't be ...

Quiz: who called Libya a "shit show" in 2012?

Trump? NO Bush '43? NO Gingrich? NO. Obama? YES

BTW we have some marvelous shitholes right here in New York, Newark, Camden, St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, and LA.

Libya WAS a shot show after Khadafi. Other than the common denominator of “shit”, the definitions of shithole and shitshow are really different.

Schweizer said that his research uncovered no proof of a quid pro quo. Was that your "proof?"

George W. Potts said...

U think the context was Sudan, Somolia, and 2 others ... not the whole of Aftica.

And what do they all have in common? (it begins with a "D")

George W. Potts said...

So what if Trump used "Hell hole" ,,, would that have been OK?

Did you read the book? Are you just throwing around more gorilla dust?

Still no good. But ad hominem is far better than blasting all the people in a country. Prejudice by definition. All the Trump interpreters say that he really meant people who qualify for entering the labor force. But why must the pundits interpret the POTUS?

I think you are forgetting that Trump's supposed quote came from Durbin. Did he take any liberties?

George W. Potts said...

Not the one I was thinking of .... but I am reporting you to the NAACP ...

I am constantly amazed how media types (particularly Mika and Joe) know exactly what is going on inside Trump's head ... but never know what he is going to do next.
