The President of the United States has been told he's not welcome in an American city by an elected official.

Way to make a call for unity ! Unfuckingbelievable.


Texas House rep says Trump not welcome in El Paso after shooting

The idea of local officials trying to bar a President from speaking because they disagree with his political positions is just plain un-American IMHO.


Back in 1921, Alabama was deep-blue, and extremely liberal. Hard Core leftists ruled the government on all levels and they voted for the Snowflake Cox in 1920 by a 2 to 1 margin.

However, in October, all of the local official were very cordial in welcoming it and listened politely, even though they disagreed with Harding or his conservative message.

A century ago, people were a lot more polite, a lot more American than they are today.

Yes, and no matter what your personal views are about whoever the president is, you just do not show this kind of disrespect of the office.

I highly respect the office. I served under 5 presidents, many of which I didn't care for. But I served the Office, not the man. When the President doesn't serve the office he has chosen to separate himself from that office and get the respect HE deserves. That doesn't change the respect the office should be afforded. Trump does not respect nor bring respect to the office. And I show him exactly the same (actually more) respect than he shows me and others. And I believe the office deserves better.

Ok, but you still don't tell the president of the United States he is NOT welcome in your city.

Why not? You still believe that Trump is above everything?

The president of the United States is welcome to travel to any American city.
Anything less, is anarchy.

I didn't say he didn't. But the Congress Woman has the right to say that he's not welcome. He probably isn't but there is nothing that can stop him from visiting there if he doesn't mind a bit of negativity. Just ask Moscow Mitch in his most recent town halls in WV.

If the POTUS wants to go to El Paso. He will go and that Dem Rep can kiss his ass.

Mass shooters are murderous assholes who get guns. The gun is the tool. The person using it is the weapon.

Find a way to ban, control and regulate murderous assholes and there will be no more mass shootings.

Good luck with that.

She certainly has no power to keep him away, it's just disgusting that a community leader would publicly demonstrate her divisivness.

She's Mexican and sees herself as a mexican citizen and leader.

She is an American Congressperson. Notice the emphasis on American. And it's a free country no matter how bad you want to curtail other's right of speech when they don't agree with you and they speak out. You honestly think you are the only ones that have the right to make really stupid comments?

No one is trying to silence her, she is free to be as big a jackass as she chooses. No matter how irresonsible her comments are.

I'd say she is an un-American Congresschick. It would be the same if the Governor of Texas had told Obama to stay off his turf during the Obama Regime.

Of course, he didn't.

But I guess the rules have changed, eh?

 

[Anathema]

El Paso is considered to be one of the safest cities in the USA. The person who did the shooting at the Wal Mart is actually from Dallas. He drove 10 hours from Dallas to El Paso, and when he got there that morning, he started his shooting spree. No, the person who did the shooting in El Paso wasn't from there.

Yet the El Paso police were unable to protect or serve their community by stopping this horrible man from bringing his big gun and all that ammunition and other things into town and using them to assault the oooulation. Still doesn’t sound like a very safe place to me.

I love the way Democrat reps try to usurp imagined authority from municipal/state leaders.

The Dems get their way through audacity a lot of times.

She is a mexican who goes to mexico to counsel invaders on how to make phony asylum claims. She represents her people, who are Mexican, and her community, which is a mexican community. If Veronica Escobar is American at all, it is an accident of geography. I would bet she speaks fluent Spanish.

Many decades ago, I spoke passable Thai. Does that make me one? Of course, after decades of disuse, the most I can do is say hello these days and ask where the beer is. MOST of the Latinos in Congress speak fluent Spanish and some of the Whites and Blacks do as well. Does that make them Mexican?

I rarely say this but YOU are a Racist. Aren't you proud of yourself? Not many make that grade in my book but you made it.

The only phrase I know in Spanish is the basic greeting "Hey, ese, wassup holmes" I was at the FLL airport 3 or 4 years ago, and the rent a car chico was Spanish and he was sort of impressed.

One difference, Obama was more welcome across the nation than Trump is. And there is nothing unamerican about her expressing her personal opinion. So now you want to censor her and all the others on that side of the fence? You had better have a lot of black vans, black Choppers, Machine guns, and prison camps ready and willing.

Until he fired the first round, he was considered a law abiding citizen. This is Texas. His rampage only lasted 45 seconds. Now, that's a pretty good response rate of stopping him, I would say. Since it is Texas, I can bet that there were at least 10 armed citizens in the mix but not a single one pulled out that old hogleg and fired back. For those of you that have never been under fire, you won't understand why. Citizens with guns are usually more dangerous to themselves and others around them than they are the bad guy. And when faced with an AR with a 100 round mag (that hasn't jammed like Aurora) that's a lot of firepower and maybe just saving your own bacon is very high on your list of things to do that day.

Obama was more welcome because conservatives are more gracious and hospitable, even to a condescending horse's patoot like Obama. And to be fair to Obama, he did try to stay on his best behavior, at least during the beginning of his reign.

But I think that this new precedent is going to prevail if the D's retake the Presidency at any point in the future.

Obozo loved? Sure. Like that military funeral he was TOLD by the parents to stay away from because they and their son didn't want that POS there? But he showed up anyway, took a photo and left. You defend an Un-American Congressperson's right to free speech, but want to deny Trump the same. Remember, it's a free country and no matter how much you bitch and cry, Trump will be your President until 2024.

Really now. During the first days of Obamas Presidency, friendships and families were broken apart by the "****** in the Whitehouse". The open threats on his life was all over the place. So don't give me that crap. There was an all points race war started to get him out of office. But he stayed for 8 years no matter what you bigots and racists tried. I turned from being a Republican to being an Independent during the months before the election and wrote off some life long friends. I have family that I can't even talk with because it might end up going to the softened "Kenyan" all over again. The hatred is way up there and will be for decades to come.

What that tells me is that we still have an extreme race relations problem in this country and it's getting worse each day. 8 years ago, it's was the Blacks. Today it's the Browns. What next, the Purple with the Pink Spots People if one gets even close to being elected President? Move over, bigot, you need to get out off the way so we can learn to live as Americans.

You still don't get it. A President is not a normal Person and should never be treated as such. And a President should NEVER forget that. The President has standards that he has to hold himself to that are far above what you and I do. Oh, all Presidents slip up once in awhile (GWB and Bill are two examples). But at the end of the day they go back to the high standards demanded of a President. Sorry, no more free rides. Trump did sound Presidential yesterday and I gave him credit for it. But to give him a whole series of free rides like you want just ain't going to happen.

We aren't talking about Obama. Last time I checked, he termed out. We are talking about Trump. And no, we aren't talking about Hillary either. Try talking about this without bringing up Obama, Bill or Hillary. Bet you can't without having your head explode. If I supported Trump as hard as you do with his normal day to day actions my head certainly would explode.

I never made any threats of any kind against Obama and don't know anyone who did.

People did have a problem with his Extreme policies, for sure- from the Porkulus to Cash for Cluckers to the ACA. But not because they didn't like his ethnicity.

I remember feeling happy when Barry Soetoro was elected, seeing all the black people I know with a look on their face thinking their "ships had come in". When others are happy, I'm happy.

Texas House rep says Trump not welcome in El Paso after shooting

The Texas congresswoman who represents El Paso on Monday said President Trump is not welcome in her district as the community mourns the death of 20 people following a mass shooting Saturday.

“From my perspective he [Trump] is not welcome here. He should not come here while we are in mourning,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”




The El Paso shooter allegedly wrote a white nationalist manifesto ahead of his attack in the community near the border with Mexico, and many Democrats have pointed to the president's rhetoric as encouraging violence.
Escobar said it is “probably unfair” to say the shooter came to El Paso as a result of Trump holding a rally in the city, but she said Trump needs to reflect on his words and actions at rallies that could be encouraging violent attacks such as the Saturday shooting.

He still owes the city money....they should serve him with papers to pay up if he shows up.
