#TrumpGenocide trends on Twitter after Trump green-lights ethnic cleansing of the Kurds
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he wanted the expected ethnic cleansing of Kurds by Turkey to be done in a “humane way.”
And he was mocked on Twitter and on MSNBC after arguing that Kurds aren’t that strong of allies because they did not storm the beaches of Normandy during World War II.
With worries that Trump had green-lighted ethnic cleansing, he was accused of genocide on Twitter with the hashtag #TrumpGenocide.
Here’s some of what people were saying:
I think its so important to rewatch this piece about the Trump Hotel and Turkey on Al Jazeera. This piece is two years, but insanely relevant today. Features my projections.#TrumpGenocide #KurdsBetrayedByTrump pic.twitter.com/S3tzeJQPEM

Graham, Rubio, and the rest of you cowards are sending our allies to their deaths so Trump can personally benefit in Turkey.
You swore to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Everyday you don’t Impeach you break this oath.#TrumpGenocide

What Trump has done now puts him on the level of Hitler, maybe worse. He should be immediately removed from office and tried not only for treason but for war crimes and murder! A disgrace to this country, a disgrace to mankind! #TrumpGenocide

Don’t forget that Erdogan violently sicced his goons on Kurdish protesters on *U.S. soil* in 2017.
This is the same guy that Trump is trusting not to kill our allies the Kurds and who he’s invited to the White House.#TrumpGenocide #KurdsBetrayedByTrumppic.twitter.com/jGbzipbFAo

All these Republican Senators are voicing "concern" about how Trump is getting the Kurds murdered today – and yet if they came out in favor of impeachment, Trump could be ousted from office by dinnertime. These fucking cowards in the GOP make me want to throw up. #TrumpGenocide

If only someone could have warned you that Trump was dangerous and if we elected him, he would destroy us.

In 2016, then-anti-Trump Republican Sen. Linsey Graham proclaimed, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." It seems his prediction is coming closer to fruition.
Financial reporting reveals that the Republican Party was forced to send $1.3 million to ruby-red Texas as the election nears.
It was something spotted by ProPublica developer and ex-reporter Derek Willis Sunday.
"That's never happened before," he tweeted.
He noted that the Texas GOP raised $3.3 million in August, but nearly half of that came from their national parents.

What the London ‘Blitz’ reveals about how much pain and tragedy people can handle in 2020
It's hard to imagine how 2020 could possibly get worse. "If we lose Betty White," a friend said on a drive to the Supreme Court to lay flowers.
So many Americans have lost friends or family members to COVID-19. Thousands of Americans survived the virus only to desperately needed organ transplants and forever will struggle to breathe the way they once did. Others are still suffering without smell or taste even three months after having the virus. Millions of Americans are out of work. Debt is stacking up for those trying to survive in the COVID economy. A lack of health insurance can mean hospitalizations from the virus are putting people into bankruptcy.
MSNBC host Joshua Johnson noted that this year has been full of strife, with Americans having a lot to stand up about. Whether the slaying of unarmed Black men and police brutality, or healthcare, and the coronavirus, Americans are lining up to protest.
Johnson asked if people try to start tough conversations, how do they keep it productive, and when it's time to give up. In her book, We Need to Talk, Celest Headlee explains tools that people can use to have productive conversations about tough issues that help move the needle.
"Keep in mind that a protest isn't a conversation, right?" she first began. "That's a different kind of communication. The first thing is that our goal in conversations is not always a productive one. In other words, oftentimes, we go into these conversations hoping to change somebody's mind or convince them that they are wrong. You're just never going to accomplish that. There's no evidence. We haven't been able to -- through years and years of research we haven't been able to find evidence that over a conversation somebody said, 'You're right, I was completely wrong.' You've convinced me. So, we have to stop trying to do that. We have to find a new purpose for those conversations."
