Limp balls just said they are finding prayer rugs at the border.

He would not know what a prayer rug is even if he was laying on one. Hannity says Trump has buckets full of damaging information on Comey, Lynch and other high ranking democrats. Sounds like someone is getting nervous.

Breitbart.com Is Sure This Adidas Shirt's an Islamo-Mexican Terror Rug

http://gawker.com/breitbart-com-is-sure-this-adidas-shirts-an-islamo-mexi-1603045854

Heard the news? If you only consume the mainstream media's Obamaflecting pulp, probably not: There are Muslims sneaking across the U.S.-Mexico border. The scary kind, who pray. How do we know? Because always-patriotic, never-delusional anti-government militiamen have a picture of their prayer rug.

That's today's scoop from the brain trust at Breitbart.com—a sort of Tiger Beat for grandchildless grumps of grandparenting age who have bandaged their disappointment with xenophobia the way they bandage gashes in the fenders of their Buicks with "I DON'T TRUST THE LIBERAL MEDIA" sticker kits.

1. Here we see a waist hemline on the Muslim prayer rug.

2. This would be a sleeve opening on the Muslim prayer rug, just above the diamond-hatch red-and-white pattern so popular among lower-tier football clubs and militant Muslim prayer-rug salesmen.

3. Islamic scholars and Arsenal fans will immediately recognize "die marke mit den 3 streifen" here on the Muslim prayer rug.

BTW so somebody from the middle east would fly to Mexico or Central America and then
walk 1,000 miles and sneak into America carrying a prayer rug? Why not just fly into
America?

We made "sit-upons", so we didn't have to sit on the ground. Maybe they are finding things people are putting on the ground so they don't have to sit on dirt.

We wove them from folded newspaper and then covered them with oil cloth pieces from outdoor table cloths. Sturdy and functional, pretty too, fun to make.

He was at the border a few days ago. Is that the rug they found?

He was photographed at the trump buffet but I'm sure he must have a spare or two.

“Limbaugh and Hannity say” means absolute bullshit is going to follow.

Geez

One of my white patients recently converted to Islam - I work with addicts- He said he felt that was the answer to help with his addiction- He said, he felt it gave him some peace. These idiots need to get over their obsession with Islam.


There probably were not prayer rugs. But so what if there were?

I'm scared of some the Bible thumpers.

there was always racism and sexism and bigotry behind it somewhere, but usually you had to dig a bit to find it.

now, their most intellectual arguments tends to be little more than "hey, that person is black/muslim/hispanic/gay/transgender/etc."

Wed Jan 16, 2019, 02:19 PM

Below is a letter to the editor I sent showing the complicity of hate-radio in this shutdown.

Feel free to cut and paste and send to your papers and radio stations if you'd like.



"While Trump bears the brunt of the blame for this ignorant shutdown, we should not absolve our local propaganda radio station (insert radio call-sign) of their culpability. It was, after all, their most prominent hatemonger who bullied Trump into it. It’s what we can expect from a radio station that has done nothing but demonize and dehumanize over 50-percent of the community they are supposed to serve.

It used to be disgusting and comical when their most prominent propagandists called a young woman a “slut”. It used to be criminal when they broadcast Glen Beck and Alex Jones, raving about a conspiracy that one of our political parties was running a pedophilia ring out of a DC pizzeria. That one was pure “One Flew Over the Coo-Coo’s Nest” gold!

Now we have thousands of our friends and neighbors working without pay, furloughed, or laid off?

How comical is it that (insert city) businesses are losing millions in economic activity due to this hate-radio shutdown? (Insert station call-sign) owns this shutdown as much as Trump does, maybe more. They also own the economic terrorism being waged against our friends, neighbors and local businesses.

For those of you that are not able to make your mortgage payments and for those (insert city) businesses losing millions I say; “Keep a stiff upper-lip”. According to the hatemongers on radio...Mexico is going to pay your bills.
