Sometimes it really is a sh**hole

How would you describe this picture?

Once again Donald Trump is under fire for being Donald Trump. Trump made the mistake of believing that a private meeting with democrats would remain private. Dick Durbin, the loathsome lefty Senator from Illinois, emerged from the meeting on immigration reform and asserted that Donald Trump had made a number of interesting remarks. In its usual haste to pound Trump, the media seized upon and circulated them without scrutiny in order to exact the maximum amount of damage on Trump and misrepresented much of what he said. The language was more colorful but it was not a departure from past expressions.

BTW, Trump did not call Haiti a sh*thole country.

This all comes in the aftermath of Trump discontinuing the Temporary Protection Status program for a number of countries.

 Last week, the Trump administration announced that they would not renew “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) for nearly 200,000 Salvadorans residing in America, meaning that those individuals would need to leave the country by 2019, or face deportation. The administration had already decided in December not to renew TPS for about 60,000 Haitians and Nicaraguans, and may soon announce an end to TPS for 57,000 Hondurans.

Many countries in Africa are sh*tholes. Thing is, Trump is not alone that belief.

Huffington Post: The 10 Worst Countries For Human Rights

In its 2014 Human Rights Risk Atlas, global analytics firm Maplecroft revealed that in the past six years, the number of countries with an “extreme risk” of human rights offenses has risen dramatically.

Evaluating 197 countries on various human rights violations, Maplecroft classified 20 countries as having an extreme human rights risk in 2008. That number has since risen to 34. Of the countries with a high risk of violations, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Mali and Guinea-Bissau have seen the worst deterioration of their human rights situation, according to the report.

Geographically speaking, nations in the Middle East and North Africa account for the vast majority of the countries in the “extreme risk” category. With state repression of protests and widespread conflict, Syria ranks highest among the countries evaluated.

Several countries in sub-Saharan Africa also made the list of the top 10 worst offenders, primarily for ongoing ethnic conflicts and sexual violence.

However, state repression and violence are far from the only stimuli for human rights violations. In countries with emerging economies, for example, the potential for work-related offenses is growing.

I think that there are really two “types” of $hitholes.

The first one has to do with countries where governments are either corrupt or inept, and their citizens are forced to live in circumstances that are best described by the word “$hithole!”
The second describes a group of people who band together to $hit on others.
In that context, Washington D.C. is the world’s biggest $hithole, with the “toilet busters,” guys like Schumer, McConnell, McCain, Peelousey, Fineswine, Eddie Munster, etc. on “top of the heap” so to speak, being followed by the feckless turds, namely the “garden variety” Congressman or Senator who is there to get rich while trying as best he or she can to do nothing. Here you have the brainless dolts like Claire McCaskell, Peter King, Debbie Stabmenow, Linda Graham, and the like. And lastly, you have the “Black Turds,” the one’s you hope are in the process of getting cancer, like Sheila Jackwagon-Lee, Hank “Guam is Tipping Over” Johnson, Maxine Waters, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, that Ugly Mfer from Texas, and the rest of the Lawn Jockey Contingent.

Now Dick Turdbin has to decide whether he’s going to do a DACA deal with a guy who thinks there are sh*tholes in the world, or take the blame for failing to save DACA because of an obvious truth.

Trump made the mistake of believing that a private meeting with democrats would remain private.

I'm not sure President Trump made a mistake. My guess: Whatever Trump said, he expected it to be released in more or less this form. What we have here is the Left freaking out, again, over something that 80% of America agrees with. Even those who hate Trump mostly agree. Once more, the Left is losing focus on Trump's actual agenda, the substance, and paying attention to the superficial side of the administration.

Remember various areas of the USA that were sh8tholes until the Urban Renewal and “Beautify America” plans of LBJ and Ladybird?

It looks like some of the s*tholes of the world could use a little cleanup. Now if they could find a way to make the First world pay for it....

The execrable pig Dick Durbin called members of the military Nazis. For that he can never be forgiven. He will die hated and in infamy. Legions of soldiers and Marines will piss on his grave.

This is all more made-up, fake news by the liberals who are absolutely going bonkers about having lost the Presidency.

I simply do not believe anything liberals say anymore. If a liberal said the sky was blue, I would walk outside to verify they were correct.
