"I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black," former President Donald Trump said.

    What a weird thing to say especially to the National Association of Black Journalists. What a weird old man.

    Man who doesn’t understand vaccines, wants to inject bleach to cure covid, and adjusts hurricane maps with a sharpie also doesn’t understand genetics or systemic racism: also overtly racist in his confusion.

      it’s not ‘confusion’. he knows exactly what he’s saying. and it’s for the cult members playing the home version, not those in attendance.

    I don’t know why I went into that article expecting the “happened to turn Black” comment to be the worst bit of the Trump quotes in the article.

    “She’s way too tough on crime when she’s being so soft on crime!”

    These guys have been slinging bullshit for so long they have covered themselves in it.

    Going to have to describe this as flat-out racist. He’s not trying to meaningfully explore his policy positions or anything, but to excite a bunch of haters into voting.

      You’d have to have policy positions in order to explore them.

        There are lots of policy positions; he just doesn’t want to own up to them.

            I wonder if he wants that more than immunity. Or if it’s immunity he’s really after.

              I think if he thinks it will benefit him, he wants it. After seeing this “performance” and almost getting shot, he might just want out. I’m sure he won’t try to blame it all on the Sofa Seducer. I’m thinking he may have picked the Loveseat Lothario just for that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
