Now I don't mind the political Left gratuitously and cynically playing the Race Card until they come down with political carpal syndrome. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of ideological parasites. But it is fascinating to watch after decades of SHRIEKING "Racist!" and "Racism!" for everything under the sun -- and dealing from that deck like demented fiends for all eight years of Obama's administration -- finally they are beginning to shoot themselves in the foot as Trump simply laughs at them and then turns their own race card playing against them. Two weeks ago Trump was a racist for telling a group of radical nation hating leftists to go home, do some good, and then come BACK and tell us how they performed their miracles . . . and the majority of the nation did not buy into the belief that what Trump said was in fact racist. Only the chronically propaganda Kool-aid gulping left's core constituency bought into the leftist lie . . . and THEY will swallow anything that MSMBC or CNN tells them to swallow. Now Trump is exchanging words with do nothing Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings for being -- let's face it -- a self-serving politically partisan rump-hole; and so Nancy Pelosi immediately SHRIEKED that Trump was racist for the high crime of . . . being White in a political confrontation with a Black. That's it. That's the terribly racist thing that Trump did. He stood up to a Black politician. The audacity of the man! Psssst . . . guess what's going to happen next as a result Nancy and Cummings as you both do your very best to brand Trump with the mark of a racist? People are going to react by realizing that NOTHING Trump said was in any way, shape, or form racist; and thereafter his polling numbers will rise yet again. The Dem Party's leadership and their propaganda machine -- otherwise known as the mainstream media -- haven't just jumped the freaking darn shark, they have used a rocket in order to orbit the poor toothy fish. Enjoy.
Orange Man bad, Russia, Racist and on and on and on. In the meantime LA, SF, Baltimore and other major cities are turning into 3rd world shtholes and nobody seems concerned. Why is that?
It's because the mainstream media started effectively working for the Democratic National Committee decades ago -- although most people didn't realize it -- and since until about a decade ago they controlled what would or would not be designated 'news worthy' they provided the Dem Party and its politicians the necessary political cover to never EVER be called to account for the hideous job most of them do most of the time while being in long term control of a city or region. But now the MSM is no longer the sole purveyor of 'news' and so now people are considering things that Dem Party politicians really don't want the average citizen to be considering.
You know these folks weren't wrapped too tight to begin with, remember they that believed in and voted for Hillary. I think that on election night they had a collective mental break down. They were completely convinced that Trump could not win and why wouldn't they be? After eight years of Obama they thought that the Republicans shouldn't even bother to run because the country now belonged to them exclusively and how dare Trump run. Now they live in some sort of alternate universe where they recognize that Trump won but somehow he's an illegitimate president and somehow they're going to prove it. TDS is real and I think because even conservatives made light of that it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. This is a response to sudden unforeseen trauma and because they've always lived in a fairytale world they have no means by which to cope. This is why they toss around the race card because the believe that anyone that doesn't think the same way as they do must be racist. It is their default explanation of everything the right believes in. For example, who would have ever thought that the American flag would be considered racist?
It is because the Dems **** up everything they touch but I'm down with that.Think about this, what's happening to LA, SF and Baltimore is what happened to Detroit. The Dems ran Detroit into the ground and it will never recover. On the national level Detroit has zero political power. For way too long political power has been concentrated in large cities on both coasts. What's happening in LA, SF and Baltimore is only the beginning. As they decline, political power will return to the heart of America, in the hands of actual Americans not those who were born here but hate our country.
Any one who has known trump for any length of time knows that racism is only one of his many flaws. https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history
How manywomen have the Greedy Old Party got representing them in our congress and senate.Not very many!! How many people of color are in the congress or senate representing the Greedy Old Party.EVEN LESS.
72% of the country is white..it's not racist until he makes it past 72 judges without nominating a non white one
Democrats withhold support for minority judges nominated by Trump By Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times - Sunday, July 14, 2019 Amul Thapar broke new ground when he became the first federal judge of South Asian descent in 2007, and over the next decade he built a record as a well-respected jurist. When President Trump nominated Judge Thapar to a seat on a federal appeals court, the American Bar Association unanimously graded him “well qualified.” Yet when the son of Indian immigrants came up for a vote on the Senate floor, not a single Democrat backed him. The process played out the same way for Neomi Rao, a daughter of Indian immigrants whom the ABA rated “well qualified” but who was confirmed only on a party-line vote, and for Michael Park, a Korean American, and Kenneth Lee, a Korean immigrant. None of them earned a single Democratic vote. It’s tough to square that record with Democratic senators’ complaints about a lack of racial diversity or female presence on the federal bench, conservative court watchers say. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/14/trump-minority-judge-nominees-get-no-democrat-vote/ The only people Democrats hate more than white Republicans are minorities --- because they are considered apostates. Not a single Democrat vote. How disgustingly racist!!!
Well if we are going to discuss quotas then one would expect that 28% should be non white. According to your logic once he got to 72 he would then have to appoint 28 in a row.
Like vanilla ice cream? You're racist for not liking chocolate ice cream. Like chocolate ice cream? You're racist for liking dairy products/milk, as milk is white. Don't see race? You're racist. Actually see race, as per Progressive dogma? You're also racist. And a xenophobe. Keep quiet about issues? You're racist. Talk about issues instead? You're still a bloody racist. The label "racist" have lost all meaning and power because it's been thrown around like candy in a candy store for, what, a decade now? The label "racist" is nothing more than an attempt at using fear of being labeled a racist. Sorry, but it's lost its meaning and power, and the Left have but themselves to blame. And now that the race cards are finally being turned against the race baiters and actual racists? Boy are they objecting to it.
And your words won't matter, because you, like me, are most likely a white male and thereby automatically a racist. It's has gone past the ridiculous stage- the whole scenario is extremely childish, like grade school kids having fun making fun of others, calling people names to trigger anger,m cause trouble. A strong, health nation requires a substantial proportion of strong, healthy people- yet he left is cultivating the undisciplined, grade-school bully attitude and mentality. They have succeeded in making the word "Racist" virtually meaningless, and in so doing diminished the validity and ability of those who are genuinely working to end racism. Frankly, it's clear to me they don't give a tinker's damn about that. It's simply political cannon fodder... for people far too immature to be allowed access to any position where political cannons are available, such as congress.
Basic problem is that Trump is such a dick that it’s hard to tell if his dickish behavior is just him being a dick or if he has other motivation.
Democrats are not used to a Republican that does not roll over for their political correctness and false accusations.
If that’s how you want to rationalize the actions of a Drama Queen - whatever - polls show most people think it’s just the actions of a dick, but I realize you’re very emotionally invested in him.
It's pretty obvious that he has talked to black judges and they refused. Since Democrats didn't offer a single vote for Trump's black nominees, it's clear that black judges refused the nominations for fear of reprisals by Democrats for leaving their plantation. Democrats are some of the nastiest people to ever slither around the earth
As an explanation for the political Left's collective dementia in this regard, it works for me. I have to admit that disliking Trump simply because he IS Trump, is something that I can sympathize with since Trump's personality grates on my nerves. It's just that I recognize that in general his goals and policy attempts to move this nation forward, are good things; and so I separate what I personally think about the man's character from his tremendous accomplishments. I have been puzzled as to why both RINOs and their leftist political allies so much rely on pure emotional reactions where Trump is concerned. It seems to be an immature response.
Conservatives see a colorless and gender-less society when looking for qualified people. Liberals are always looking at people's skin color or their gender and letting the world know they are counting and keeping score. Liberals think they are so superior.
I agree and I am technically worse that a White man having the audacity to opine on the Left's endless playing of the Race Card for political reasons since I am a man with a brown skin tone and therefore am firmly in the catch-all 'Uncle Tom' zone of having been brainwashed by the EVIL conservatives . . . since I could not possibly have made the political decision to have moved rightward all on my own. This makes me very dangerous indeed since I am welcome among other people of brown skin tone and can . . . talk . . . to . . . them. I am the political Left's nightmare. If too many of my type move rightward then it is political 'game over' for them.
Maybe I'm out of the loop and missed when Trump has said or done something racist. I'm not talking about defending himself against someone of color I'm talking about a truly racist remark or racist action. If he is such a racist as the liberals claim maybe they could post a quote here where Trump actually used a racist term. That should be easy for them. I'll keep an open mind.
OMG! That would no doubt put you in some kind of special category! Not sure which pigeonhole it would be- but I'm sure they could find one to classify you. Continue your work; giving them nightmares and confusion their predispositions and assumptions is a worthy cause. Our minds don't come in colors or races- until they are programmed with prejudice. Some programmed poorly can never escape, because they can't think for themselves, can't get out of the box. I used to tell my self-improvement students that the players never get to see the game; the actors never get to see the play. I recommended that they mentally create a place as if they were watching their lives like seeing a play from a balcony seat, and find out if they still like the role they are playing; still believe that what they have perceived others to be still holds true. If a person can do that fairly, it usually changes a lot of things they believe. There are good and bad people among all of us, regardless of race/color. The trick is to ignore what is claimed or said, and let the conduct of people become the language you read them by. I am "prejudiced".... against those who can't recognize that what we do is what makes us who we are; against those who will not or cannot regulate themselves, mentally discipline themselves. Not our color, not our heritage, not even our education or wealth. People like Omar- who with obvious prejudice is willing to say "We should fear white men" are without question the worst racists of all, and yet use that same evil as a political tool. Incredible lack of character and morality. You have to want to be mentally independent, have to want to have 20./20 vision of events in order to achieve it.
