Here's the CEO of Nvidia calling Trump a "genius" for "saying what's on his mind" when he called a reporter piggy. Just total cowardice and moral bankruptcy from people who know better.
Jensen is having no part of the “Quiet, Piggy” chat.

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

An awful message from an awful person. Not very Christian-like, I’d say….
I wish there was a precedent for what happens when a demagogue picks out a vulnerable minority group and labels them as subhuman. I wonder what the next step is and whether any innocent people get hurt. And I wonder whether the demagogue's followers go on trial when the whole thing is over.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Absolutely. Doing this remotely with drones or bombs is no different than pulling up in a boat and shooting them in the water. If this isn’t an illegal order, hard to imagine what could be.
And unlike some of the finer questions of “was the president’s inherent Art 2 powers in play”, shouldn’t offing people who are hors de combat be clearly known to be an illegal order all the way down the line to the lowest Seaman?

This reporter asks a legitimate, followup question—something the White House press corps doesn’t do all that often.
Trump isn’t used to this, and you can see how it gets under his skin.
Reporters need to do this more often, or at least come to the defense of those who are willing to do it.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

According to the GAO, more full-time Walmart employees receive SNAP benefits than any other employer in the nation. Perhaps Walmart executives should spend more time puzzling over the ethics of that. www.gao.gov/assets/gao-2...
