    What measures would you quantify in saying a country is a ****hole? How about crime? How about poverty levels? How about murder rate?

    Are you trying to deny that this is not happening?
    Yes, you can demonetize videos because your advertisers don't want their brands associated with, say, racist toxicity. Why wouldn't you want to do that, if you wanted to retain those advertisers? You're quite an unusual free marketeer today.

    Someone's going to draw lines, even if you think they're arbitrary. In that particular case, the bus is going to be driven by the people who are paying the bills. It's fairly impractical otherwise. ****, even the social network the Pepe nitwits started for themselves censors content.

    I realize that you must have some trouble recognizing racist and anti-Semitic trash, considering some of the twitter folk you post here.

    Unfortunately the odds are against people that grow up in that world to become distinguished individuals. Those that do will certainly pass a hopeful merit based immigration test which should be a pillar of our new immigration policy.

    Even the worst of people can make valid points. As someone who has actually dealt with antisemitism his entire life I assure you I can spot people who truly hate Jews.

    I'm just a stickler for people throwing around the idea of truth when discussing opinions.

    But these things are quantifiable. Would you move to those countries?

    I'd bet a fair amount of money that liberals refer to the deep South in the USA as a ****hole on a daily basis.

    I'm guessing nobody cares

    I think you would be correct if this was coming from a person who communicated in a clear way, but in interpreting Trumpism I think the implication is more along the lines of why would we arbitrarily let in immigrants from ****hole countries? My guess is that's how Sarah Huckabee Sanders will interpret the comment in tomorrow's press briefing. We also don't know what else was said by Trump. Remember that he said something similar about Mexico when he stated that they aren't sending their best, and later tried to clarify by saying that I'm sure some are good people.
    thank you weso1!
