Trump makes worse comments every day that DIRECTLY insult or denigrate persons, places or things …. WITH INTENT. AOC had no intention of a derogatory remark against "the memorial", just against the original, inhumane use of the facility. We ALL should remind ourselves … or BE reminded, of the mistakes of history! You GO, girl!
Well, I HAVE seen Trump on the "International Stage", and I actually WOULDN'T LMMFAO, it was to embarrassing! AOC didn't MEAN it the way it was taken. In this ridiculously "politically correct" environment it's hard to NOT offend SOMEONE …. but it's SO easy for Trump to do so …. to ANYONE! ;-)
On February 19, 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. More than two-thirds of these people were native born American citizens. They were confined in inland internment camps operated by the military.
PUSSY WHOOPED was FDR a DEMOCRAT ??????????????????????
On this day in 1942, 10 weeks after a Japanese carrier force bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order that led to the forced removal of some 112,000 Japanese-Americans, most of them U.S. citizens, from their homes, to be relocated in internment camps in remote locations away far from the West Coast.
Of 127,000 Japanese-Americans living in the continental United States at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, 112,000 resided on the West Coast. About 80,000 were second-generation, U.S.-born Japanese who held U.S. citizenship or third-generation children. The rest were first-generation immigrants born in Japan who were ineligible for U.S. citizenship at the time under U.S. law.
On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issues Presidential Proclamation No. 2537, requiring aliens from World War II-enemy countries–Italy, Germany and Japan–to register with the United States Department of Justice. Registered persons were then issued a Certificate of Identification for Aliens of Enemy Nationality. A follow-up to the Alien Registration Act of 1940, Proclamation No. 2537 facilitated the beginning of full-scale internment of Japanese Americans the following month.
AL you have your head stuck in a DARK AND REMOTE PLACE ???????????????

Come on you LITTLE LEFTIST GURL what you got to say ?
Seventy-five years after the fact, the federal government’s incarceration of some 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent during that war is seen as a shameful aberration in the U.S. victory over militarism and totalitarian regimes. Though President Ford issued a formal apology to the internees in 1976, saying their incarceration was a “setback to fundamental American principles,” and Congress authorized the payment of reparations in 1988, the episode remains, for many, a living memory. Now, with immigration-reform proposals targeting entire groups as suspect, it resonates as a painful historical lesson.
The roundups began quietly within 48 hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. The announced purpose was to protect the West Coast. Significantly, the incarceration program got underway despite a warning; in January 1942, a naval intelligence officer in Los Angeles reported that Japanese-Americans were being perceived as a threat almost entirely “because of the physical characteristics of the people.” Fewer than 3 percent of them might be inclined toward sabotage or spying, he wrote, and the Navy and the FBI already knew who most of those individuals were. Still, the government took the position summed up by John DeWitt, the Army general in command of the coast: “A Jap’s a Jap. They are a dangerous element, whether loyal or not.”
That February, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, empowering DeWitt to issue orders emptying parts of California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona of issei—immigrants from Japan, who were precluded from U.S. citizenship by law—and nisei, their children, who were U.S. citizens by birth. Photographers for the War Relocation Authority were on hand as they were forced to leave their houses, shops, farms, fishing boats. For months they stayed at “assembly centers,” living in racetrack barns or on fairgrounds. Then they were shipped to ten “relocation centers,” primitive camps built in the remote landscapes of the interior West and Arkansas. The regime was penal: armed guards, barbed wire, roll call. Years later, internees would recollect the cold, the heat, the wind, the dust—and the isolation.
TROLL can you remind me of the PARTY ALLIANCE of FDR ????????????
Actually, I would RATHER be on the "other side" of Obama and Hillary's comments. They're not NEARLY so "vile" and they would even have to be deserved. Unlike Trump, who's vile with anyone that doesn't worship and agree with him, theirs were either called for or deserved for good reason. Give it up Bronto, comparing Obama and Hillary to Trump is comparing apples to rotten cabbage! ;-)
As you know, I don't call people Nazis because it diminishes what actual Nazis did. I CAN, however, call a concentration camp, a concentration camp when it's actually a concentration camp..
Here's what Merriam Webster says:
".. a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard..

Hello poochy boy:
Yeah, I've been watching you pull out your hair.. Musta posted 25 times about it.. Dude! Of course, you have no clue about what's going on around you.. Poor fellow.
My POINT was, that WE HAD concentration camps in the US - not WHO was president at the time..

".. a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard..
Technically regular prisons are concentration camps under such a broad definition. In which case, concentration camps are not inherently bad things.
"a place where large numbers of people (such as...) are detained or confined under armed guard"
That is a perfect description of any prison. If we are defining concentration camps as places of detention, concentration camps are necessary for western society.
These would be the first concentration camps in world history that people ran to and intentionally gave themselves up to the authorities to go to..
They are detention centres you retard. Are you literally so stupid that you don't understand what detention means? It means you can't leave. You cheat, lie and distort everything you see, hear or read, just like your ancestors, the Nazis:-
Applying the term “concentration camp” to the indefinite detention without trial of thousands of civilians in inhumane conditions — under armed guard and without adequate provisions or medical care — is not just appropriate, it’s necessary.
Well, okay then—but surely the right can let Ocasio-Cortez get away with implying certain parallels that are hard to miss between, yes, fascism and Trump’s behavior. We have no reason to suppose Trump desires to herd Mexicans and Central Americans together and put them to death. However, we have every reason to see his actions and statements as manifestations of the kind of ideology that has led to horrors of that kind. Ever floating, if not spelling out, the idea that violence is a permissible means to a glorious national end; the cult of leadership Trump encourages; the suggestion that the openly bigoted members of the alt-right are essentially good people whose views constitute a legitimate counterpoise to those who combat racism—only denialism explains how anyone could not see glimmers of likeness between Trump and Messrs. Hitler and Mussolini.
Stop changing the subject to an attack against the left every time you get caught telling lies you pathetic Nazi. Why did you claim these people in detention WANT to be detained?
Secondly, most find border patrol and turn themselves in voluntarily
Most illegal immigrants turn themselves into border patrol voluntarily?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Please sir, detain me ! Detain me! I need to be detained!!
Well, okay then—but surely the right can let Ocasio-Cortez get away with implying certain parallels that are hard to miss between, yes, fascism and Trump’s behavior.
You are deliberately misquoting the article. The part you have quoted is a general statement about Trump's behaviour, not a specific reference to his use of detention camps.
No he didn't. Your false equivalence is pathetic. I read the article and the basis of it is that Obama once kept migrant children on an army base for four months before sending them back home. Obviously there is quite a difference between that and literally keeping children locked up in concentration camps as Trump is doing.
and in all likeliness they will never see home again
None of them have been held longer than the law allows. Trump literally has no control over the laws enforced by border patrol, and if he tried, the courts would overrule him.
No he didn't. You just openly admitted he sent them all home to their families. Perhaps you'd better make up your mind before you continue. Did Obama send the migrants home or did he detain them?
None of them have been held longer than the law allows.
The law allows you to detain them indefinitely you stupid cunt:-
US ruling to expand indefinite detention for some asylum seekers
The law allows you to detain them indefinitely you stupid cunt:-
Point? Trump border patrol hasn't held anyone indefinitely, and children and parents must be let go in about a month. Secondly, we both know you don't give a rat's ass. You trash these same peoples' beliefs and refer to people with their beliefs as multiple obscenities. You're fake.
There are people sacrificing to help poverty stricken people all over the world. You aren't one of them.
Obviously. Obama sent them back home to their families. Trump has them locked up in an SS style death camp
The Democrats literally blocked legislation to provide supplies to these camps, and they are the exact same camps that have been used for decades.
Also, the exact same things the left is calling Trump a Nazi for, Obama did the same or worse while the Democrat media and leftists smiled and fawned over dear leader.
The Democrats literally blocked legislation to provide supplies to these camps
I think we have safely determined by now that nothing you say is ever true. It is either false, half the story, less than half the story or a total and complete misrepresentation of the facts. Besides that rather obvious point, are you expecting people to be angry because Democrats won't send supplies to your death camps?
The Democrats literally blocked legislation to provide supplies to these camps.
Liar. Trump demanded 4.5 billion dollars for a fake emergency he created for political ends and the Democrats laughed him out of the building:-
Democratic spending leaders have said any funding would be limited to humanitarian aid, mostly for families and unaccompanied minors. But a majority of the Hispanic Caucus 38 members said they are deeply skeptical that the Trump administration would use the funds for the humanitarian crisis instead of enforcing the White House's border policies and still want the House to take a harder line against Trump.
You literally tried to represent Churchill as a leftist
Cool. You literally admitted your wife has left you and your penis no longer works. I'm really not interested in your random changes of subject every time I prove you are a liar, but thanks anyway.
to take credit for him taking on the Nazis.
Churchill literally said, "I am an English Liberal. I hate the Tory Party, their men, their words and their methods." Why don't you go right ahead and explain to us how he was lying.
Also, the exact same things the left is calling Trump a Nazi for, Obama did the same or worse
But he didn't though. You've already tried that lie. I debunked it. Are you running out of lies again, Herr Bronto?
There is no equivalence between Obama deciding to house children in a temporary facility for four months before sending them home, and the SS style death camps presently being run by the great orange fuhrer. Zero.
They are the exact same facilities used for decades.
Liar.
Is it fair to use the phrase "concentration camp" to describe the Trump administration's string of prison camps, detention facilities, and other installations meant to incarcerate immigrants in highly concentrated numbers? That question has been a subject of national debate since at least the summer of 2018. Thanks to President Donald Trump's new plan this week to expand the prison camp system, including the repurposing of a former Japanese internment site
The horrors of Trump's prison camps have been clear since at least 2018, when The New Yorker published images of the prison for children in Tornillo, Texas. Searing reporting from ProPublica included recordings of children screaming and an exposé of secret detention facilities. This past fall, the New York Times broke the news that the Trump administration was secretly deporting immigrant children to the Tornillo camp. At least 24 immigrants have died in Trump camps. Journalist Jonathan Katz catalogued the intentional savagery at these border camps, including torture through sleep deprivation, freezing-cold conditions, children stuck in vans for over 37 hours, detainees confined to dog kennels, starvation, and a lack of basic medicine.
Quoting leftism to prove leftism, eh nom? When libs say Nazi it means some old white guy who's never hurt a soul, and when they say concentration camps they mean facilities they used when they are being used by a right winger.
If it were me, I wouldn't feel obligated to give law breakers beds, food or anything. You had those things at home. Sadly, even with my position, I donate more to help these types of people than you do. You must feel super gross.
Literally only you could link The Washington Times and The Gateway Pundit, then accuse someone else of partisanship twenty minutes later. You are literally delusional buddy.
When libs say Nazi it means some old white guy who's never hurt a soul
I'm not a liberal you fucking retard. I'm a socialist. Just like the Nazis you enthusiastically throw everything which disagrees with you into the same pot to make it easier to attack.
when they say concentration camps they mean facilities they used when they are being used by a right winger.
As you have just seen for yourself, they do not mean that. They mean this:-

There is no equivalence between Obama deciding to house children in a temporary facility for four months
Bwahahaha! If Trump held people for four months, the left would burn down their own houses, gnash their teeth, rent their clothes, and begin casting spells on Donald Trump.
Do you even read the replies people write back? He has just this year expanded the criteria to detain them indefinitely. Do you understand what the word indefinite means?
You're acting like you think I condemn holding them for years. I don't.
Oh, so you openly admit you agree with detaining migrants indefinitely in concentration camps? OK, cool. I admire your courage because if I were a Nazi I would never, ever admit it.
Oh, so you openly admit you agree with detaining migrants indefinitely in concentration camps?
Not really. I'd put them on a plane to a liberal European area to see the leftists scream bloody murder when their virtue signaling no longer is politically expedient.
OK, cool. I admire your courage because if I were a Nazi I would never, ever admit it
You've already admitted it though. You literally said that if we didn't assimilate to Corbyn's Socialist army, you'd kill us. You know. Hitler's position.
But you just did openly admit that. You do not understand what the word "condemn" means and hence used it in error. Now you are going to try to change the subject, because that's what you do every time you write something stupid and/or false which somebody else points out.
Now you are going to try to change the subject, because that's what you do every time you write something stupid and/or false which somebody else points out.
Not really. Hitler created camps, and burned and gassed people alive, which is your position if someone opposes Corbyn. And Trump has killed no one, thus nothing like Hitler and you.
I'd put them on a plane to a liberal European area
Mhm. Hitler tried to do exactly the same thing shortly before the Holocaust started. Well, he tried to send them to Africa, but same difference.
You've already admitted it though.
Oh, I have? Thanks for letting me know. I don't know where I would be without people like you to tell me what I believe. I mean, let's face it, telling other people what they believe is definitely not fascism, is it? Oh heavens no. Redistributing wealth to the poor (like I actually do believe) is what fascism is. Everybody knows that.
Obviously it isn't true because that's Communism: the very thing Hitler based his entire political career on exterminating from Europe.
It was Hitler's position to rob and kill one group to give their property to another.
Returning property to its rightful owner is the opposite of theft. Hence, when you rob society of the value of its own labour and society one day decides to take that value back from you, then that is the opposite of theft.
Your "analysis" literally begins with the phrase "fuck the Jews", which preys on the myth that Jewishness was incompatible with Nazism. In fact the reality is that Hitler had around 150,000 Jews fighting for him in the German army, several high-ranking members of his own party (including a general) were Jewish, and he was partially financed by Jewish-American money.
In fact, let's go further. Zionist Jews in Germany collaborated with Hitler during his ascension to power in the 1930s and, funnily enough, under the terms of their agreement in 1933, Hitler was to give them Israel. He furthermore (i.e. Hitler) passed a law which permitted only the swastika and the Zionist flag to be shown on public display in Germany. The SS literally trained Jewish militants in armed combat in preparation for their proposed move to Palestine.
Now, that's not really an analysis, but it's quite a lot broader than, "fuck the Jews".
Your acusation was that Trump is doing Nazi things.
That isn't an accusation. That's an observable fact which has been pointed out by everybody from political scientists to Holocaust survivors. Did you think his ex-wife was lying when she said he had a book of Hitler speeches in his bedside cabinet?
Right. That's why the pictures look more like fun camps
So, according to you, the pictures of Trump doing Nazi things look more like fun camps? That's what you're going with? Lol.
Right pal. And when the Nazis used to release pictures of themselves doing stuff, they always made them look as sinister as possible, because everybody knows the purpose of propaganda is to make yourself look sinister. Amazing how you and I seem to be the only people who understand this Bronto. We must be the two smartest people on the planet, right buddy?
That isn't an accusation. That's an observable fact which has been pointed out by everybody from political scientists
Not convincing nom. I put leftists all under the term leftists. Their claims to being experts means dick. They're hacks. Nothing more. They have no credibility.
To Holocaust survivors.
Other holocaust survivors say the opposite. The BBC forgot to interview them. They forget or refuse to interview a lot of people. They probably won't be interviewing Hispanic border patrol agents who refer to these illegals as "invaders" any time soon.
Oh, the man who literally claimed "Joseph Goebbels was an open Marxist" isn't convinced by factually accurate information? What a complete shock. I would never have guessed.
I put leftists all under the term leftists.
Exactly, and since you are so overtly a far right extremist, anything to the left of Mussolini is to you "a leftist".
In fact, it's even more bizarre than that, isn't it? Because you also believe MUSSOLINI was a leftist, right buddy? Lol.
I think readers should take a short break just to contemplate the insanity of a person who literally believes Benito Mussolini was on the left.
Their claims to being experts means dick.
Oh, so experts are dicks now? Interesting. Got any more snippets of fascist wisdom for us?
They're hacks. Nothing more.
Yes, the old, everybody who disagrees with me is a French spy narrative. We've heard it all before, Adolf. It's old and boring.
Other holocaust survivors say the opposite.
Laughable.
The BBC forgot to interview them.
But you did, obviously.
They forget or refuse to interview a lot of people.
They only agree to be interviewed by people their fellow survivors compare to the Nazis? Interesting. Cool story bro.
As you know, I don't call people Nazis because it diminishes what actual Nazis did.
Lol. Shut up you imbecile. You pull out the anti-Semite card anytime anybody disproves anything you write, despite the fact you're not even Jewish. You distort, lie and prey on myths and half-truths just like your partner in bullshit, Brontoraptor.
".. a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard.
Which conveniently includes Guantanamo and other offshore detention facilities opened by Republicans. You don't need to go as far back as WW2. Republicans not only opened up concentration camps, but furthermore approved the widespread use of torture within said camps.
Your crimes against truth are verified by the historical record, Excon. Indeed, thanks to you not being very bright you confirm them every time you duplicitously try to brush off legitimate criticism by accusing everybody who gives it of hating you. I don't hate you. I don't even know who you are. But I do know bullshit when I read it.
This right here SUPER STUPID proves how IGNORANT you are and you typed it - In fact, we interned Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WW II..
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (/ˈroʊzəvəlt/,[1] /-vɛlt/;[2] January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. A member of the Democratic party
On February 19, 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. More than two-thirds of these people were native born American citizens. They were confined in inland internment camps operated by the military.
Confused ATHEIST you are as DUMB as a SACK OF HAMMER HANDLES ! TRUTH is something you will not know because you are not OLD enough to know the TRUTH !!!!!!!!!
TROLL when your back is against the wall and TRUTH of your PARTY POLITICS does not work then all you have left is too fold and have no defense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER STUPID you speak of HATERS yet you are ONE !!!!!!! How is it you can JUSTIFY who you ARE ??????????? I got to ask the QUESTION are you ANGRY because you were BORN ??????????????????
The conservative "Do Nothing" Congress would not allow the closure. They, "Un-American-like" had a traitorous meeting and agreed to let him pass NOTHING, make him FAIL, make him a one term President! They succeeded in stopping the passage of a few things … like closing "Gitmo" and the criminal reform … thingy. ;-) Fail? Nope. One term? Nope. The only President since Ike to be elected TWICE with over 50% of the popular vote! Could it be that …. he deserved it??? The people thought so, evidently. We haven't had ONE President elected with a deserved 50% since, and I think I can guarantee that we won't have again, in the next year or so … if s/he's not Democratic, that is. ;-)
I don't disagree. Can you name something the Democrat House has done since being elected? Me neither. Looks like they are trying to outdo the do nothing Republicans.
The people thought so, evidently. We haven't had ONE President elected with a deserved 50% since, and I think I can guarantee that we won't have again, in the next year or so … if s/he's not Democratic, that is. ;-)
Well yeah. When the media is willing to skew reality by 20%, they can get whatever reality they want to spin.
For example, Trump was down 13% in media polls. He won in an electoral landslide, meaning, their polls may have been offby as mush as 20-25%.
The point? They have Trump at 42% approval right now. Add 13%, 20%., 25%, whichever one you want. Gnaw on that for a minute Al...
In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government and authorized a payment of $20,000 (equivalent to $42,000 in 2018) to each camp survivor. The legislation admitted that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."[26] The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion (equivalent to $3,390,000,000 in 2018) in reparations to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) inspected the camp in June 2004. In a confidential report issued in July 2004 and leaked to The New York Times in November 2004, Red Cross inspectors accused the U.S. military of using "humiliating acts, solitary confinement, temperature extremes, and use of forced positions" against prisoners. The inspectors concluded that "the construction of such a system, whose stated purpose is the production of intelligence, cannot be considered other than an intentional system of cruel, unusual and degrading treatment and a form of torture."
Cool. So Democrats put Japanese American citizens in internment camps, and the Republicans got them reperations
Cool. So torturing and illegally detaining thousands of Arabs is fine because Ronald Reagan signed a bill in the 1980s apologising for detaining Japanese civilians 40 years previously. How about you shut your stupid, toxic mouth you pathetic Nazi. Nobody is interested in your sleazing your way out of every and all criticism with attacks against the left. They are interested in why Republicans redefined torture to mean "enhanced interrogation". How about you explain that to us instead of talking about the 1930s?
