January 13, 2018 Trump's s-hole comment long overdue...but not enough By Geoffrey P.

Trump needs to affirm what he said, and expand his remarks, without revision. No apologies for truth-telling this time.

When you find the used sh!tpaper thrown behind the perfectly operable toilet, you know the last user was from a THIRD WORLD SH!THOLE COUNTRY.
So, President Trump, you should insist that Senator Durbin resign. This is not the first time Senator Durbin has lied about what was said in a meeting with a president.
Senator Durbin, the ball is in your court. Will you do the honorable thing? I'm not holding my breath.
Reading the book called Monrovia Mon Amour by Theodore Dalyrimple chronicling a trip he made to Liberia. It tells you everything you need to know about why Trump is right.
