    That's quite a bit of a stretch; conditions in the U.S. are no where similar to Nazi Germany or Rwanda.  Trump said something extremely dumb as usual but to say this a step toward genocide is pretty stupid.

    Many would argue that failing to see that genocides occur in steps that begin with this vile dehumanising is what's stupid.

    Also, pointing out that Trump is using Nazi rhetoric isn't the same as calling Trump a Nazi or suggesting that we will soon be committing genocide, which is not what this Catholic Priest was doing.

    When you use language that overlaps with hate groups of all varieties, you should be called out on it, period!

    Just had a talk with my Dad and im feeling a little frustrated, probably due to a shitty day at work more so than anything. Anyway, he is 70 and a blue collar, union democrat his whole life. He informed me that they dont have anything on Trump and he wont get impeached. "They may have something on his friends, but they dont have nothing on Trump. We sure as hell dont want Pence in there, hes the real freak." Lol. 
    Unfourtanely, i tend to agree. He also, like many people in these threads, isnt confident about the midterms either and he totally sounded off on Pelosi and Schumer. "What the fuck is their plan?!"
    So then i come home and read that apparently Mueller informed Trumps legal team that they wont indict the president?
    So yeah, just one opinion. What the fuck does he know? He just sitting around all day sucking down oxegyn from his tanks anyway. Lol. Peace.

    Listen I know the steps and I don't see this as a step.  He said something stupid but I don't see this as an indicator of genocide.  

    by the way, is trump talking about legal or illegal immigration?

    Does that matter? Does it make people more “animal-like” if they are illegal immigrants?

    Some crazy reading about the Cambridge Antalylica testimony today. Probably nothing that would be surprising considering the constant and unbelievable headlines that have filled our news cycle everyday and what we have already learned about that organization, but wow.

    Did you think about this before you posted? Read it and consider what you're saying. Class, status, race, religion, sex, legal or illegal; all people or all animals. By calling them animals it gives insight in to the mentality of him as a person, but we already knew this. Why do you feel the need to minimize and defend it?
    It's a hopeless situation...

    No my point was that legal immigration made this country what it is. Both sets of my grandparents came here from Ireland’s and Lithuanian And made their lives better. It would be really really messed up if he was calling legal immigrants animals. Sorry I don’t include illegal as well, juggling around five kids makes the mind weak sometimes lol no one should be called an animal.

    Mcgruff, I think in isolation, to refer to people as animals is merely inappropriate and insulting. To dehumanize them in the context of justifying treating them like animals, however, treads into dangerous territory. I think that’s an important part of this that James Martin didn’t focus on. This is like when people talk about Israeli behaviour towards Palestinians: when someone calls it genocide, the reaction is to say “it’s not genocide”, and all of a sudden, people debate the degree of embellishment rather than the problem itself. That’s a crappy practice. Wrong is wrong. Whether this leads to a genocide, or whether it is abhorrent and seriously worthy of concern, at least the latter should be acknowledged.

    Don’t be fooled, this is not about illegal immigrants. It’s about Team Trump Treason losing, in the form of more illegal border crossings and obstruction of justice. His obstruction of justice.

    Tell pops they said he won’t be indicted so that trump can’t plead the fifth when he’s interviewed. It’s savvy lawyering. Indictments aren’t needed to be impeached anyway, and they can be handed out later if needed.

    Don’t be fooled, this is not about illegal immigrants. It’s about Team Trump Treason losing, in the form of more illegal border crossings and obstruction of justice. His obstruction of justice.

    Trump refers to some undocumented immigrants as ‘animals’ at roundtable - The Washington Post https://apple.news/AKGLYFlCeQOqqHryZbTu9Rw
    I never knew that about The Oakland  Mayor. That’s pretty messed up what she did.
