Two years before Donald Trump thought migrants from Latin America were “bringing crime” and “rapists,” he had become an advocate for fair and comprehensive immigration reform. Back in 2013, NBC News reported a meeting between the billionaire GOP frontrunner and “youth immigrant leaders Jose Machado, Diego Sanchez and nationally renowned Dreamer Gaby Pacheco of The Bridge Project at […]

It’s not true that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump only represents the extreme wing or “crazies” of the GOP. As a leader in numerous polls, Trump exemplifies the party’s true colors: xenophobic, mean-spirited and pro-1 percent. Despite how the other GOP presidential candidates or Republican leadership try to distance themselves from his vitriolic language, Trump’s boorish […]

Just play the tape from earlier tonight. We must insist on assimilation. Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. We need to tell folks who want to come here come here legally. Learn English, adopt our values, roll up your sleeves and get to work. I’m tired of the hyphenated Americans and the division. You so […]

Kelly, mi’ja, la cagaste. Mate, you cagated it royally. And no amount of mealy-mouthed, yo-no-soy-racista-mea-culpas are going to be enough. Apologies not accepted. Not in my house. This was not a misspeak, or a foot in mouth, not a slip, nor a verbal stumble. This was a spectacular fall. Let’s go back to the particulars, […]

Two days ago, this video was posted to the Explore Branson Facebook page by Luis Diaz. This is what Diaz posted with the video: I arrived to Branson, MO on Thursday, July 16,2015.

A new video from the Democratic National Committee’s Rapid Response YouTube channel is focusing on the recent Donald Trump controversy, which continues to dominate the current coverage of the 2016 presidential primary season. Besides calling out Trump for his comments about Mexicans and Mexican immigrants, the DNC video is trying to link comments from current […]

This needs very little explanation. Just watch this 57-second clip and realize that in the end, Donald Trump has no flipping clue about anything. (The Occupy Democrats YouTube video has over 200,000 views, but this Facebook share has over 14 million views and growing.) Mexican Laborer Has A Message For Donald Trump! Posted by Eman […]

Donald Trump has had a really bad week. First, NBC. Then, Macy’s. This Buzzfeed article, too. And now, even Emmitt Smith is out. Emmitt Flipping Smith. The Trump fallout continues to spiral, and today, Trump (with the help of Breitbart and The Daily Caller) is now so desperate, that he is aligning himself with President […]

If Donald Trump ever becomes President of the United States, we are fucked. The following interview with José Díaz-Balart is NOT parody. It’s real. We could break this down and analyze it, but it kind of speaks for itself.

This happened tonight via Twitter. @deray tweeted out the video clip of a CNN interview with South Carolina state representative William Chumley (R) about the current debate to remove the Confederate flag from the state’s capitol. It is perhaps one of the most bizarre and ridiculous comments we have yet to hear about the recent […]

You all remember Rep. Don Young, right? How can you not forget this? Looks like Congressman Young is back, but this time the Alaska Republican is now visiting Puerto Rico to raise money days before he is scheduled to hold a hearing about the island’s political status.
