Trump rips Democrats over MS-13 'slaughter' in weekly address
Source: The Hill
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 06/16/18 10:53 AM EDT
President Trump attacked Democrats in Congress over immigration in his weekly address Saturday, blaming the party for refusing to close "loopholes" that allow gang members including MS-13 members into the United States.
In the video message, Trump singled out House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), accusing her of trying to "protect" MS-13 members who he again described as "animals" in his remarks.
"MS-13 gang members are truly, and youve heard me say it, animals and yet Nancy Pelosi and Washington Democrats continue to protect them and to push for open borders," Trump said.
"The record is plain: Washington Democrats voted against Kates Law, they voted against legislation to deport gang members, and they voted for Sanctuary Cities where these violent criminals hide," Trump continued. "Democrats in Congress have opposed every measure that would close these immigration loopholes and bring the slaughter to an end."

(36,827 posts)For some reason, we've recently been hearing a lot of the term "Demagogue" mentioned in the press and on social media, the blogosphere and in political chatter. Any guesses as to why?
As you probably already know, that word refers to someone who may be charismatic and often bombastic, and is able to use his oratorical skills to appeal to the baser, more negative side of people's feelings. Examples of these darker parts of our psyches are prejudice, bigotry suspiciousness, resentment, hate, racism, aggression, rage, violence, retribution, paranoia and ultra-nationalism.
Some well-known demagogues of the past century include Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Huey Long, Benito Mussolini and others. But here's a paradox: The louder these demagogues intoned, the angrier they became, the more hateful their words and the more popular they became. They raged against terrible imminent threats inside and outside the country from evil others who "caused" the misfortunes in society. They were capable of swaying their impassioned audiences to join their vitriolic campaigns against these nefarious targets.
From the article you'd swear this guy was describing Trump, but it was written in 2015. It just so happens Trump checks all the boxes. The sad part is you don't have more people calling this kind of shit out for what it is.

Donny Dumbass. Jesus Christ on a hoverboard, this fool is thick. He is locking up refugees fleeing MS-13 because they may be MS 13? This makes as much sense as every other time the mopes have gotten jacked up about refugees. They still wake up sweaty over the thought that All Kayderh is smuggling in an A-bomb disguised as a bale of pot!

They should hit these gangs hard and drive them out.
It is the sanctuary cities law that is helping lock these criminals up. Without the law they get away with crimes on people that can not expect justice.

We ran them out [to the south] and then they came back with a vengeance.
