“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.
If Trump thinks that Kamala Harris should claim she’s Indian because she has an Indian mother, then Barack Obama should claim he’s white for the same reason.
Too bad no one in the press will bring that up to him.
I heard that at Jessica’s party, while everyone was playing 7 Minutes in Heaven, we were making out in her mom’s car and that our mustaches got tangled.
I also heard that we put gerbils in each other’s butts, which is ridiculous since we only used hamsters.
I’m going to start using mayonnaise treatments on my mustache, but I need a shower all the time. I guess I can get a mustache hairnet and line it with plastic wrap.
You ain’t wrong, but the bars there are exactly my kind of fun. That’s why we play there. It reminds me a lot of my ex, actually. Dirty, loud, a little dangerous, and open to the public.
I think there is a difference, but I’ve seen your arguments with people on here and know I’m far outmatched! I’m gonna be like Trump debating Kamala and chicken out.
This also feels like it’s implying some transphobic stuff, while also trying to paint the dems as mentally ill. “They don’t know what gender they are, now I guess they don’t know what race they are either!”
“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.
He’s a parody of himself. If there wasn’t a real threat behind his existence, I’d happily do nothing but laugh at the ridiculousness of his claims.
I like how he said there were “black jobs.” I guarantee you that before someone asked him what black jobs were, he was thinking of things like doorman, shoe-shine boy, bellhop, maid…
I was in a nasty argument with my mom last night about her use of the racist slur “illegals”. I told her that people can’t be illegal. She replied that shes not a racist and that they’re illegal because they broke the law. I shot back, “oh, so, since you got that speeding ticket, that makes you an illegal?” “No! They committed a felony!” So I said, “oh, so Trump is a 34 times illegal then?”
She said, “that’s different!”
“Why? Because he’s white? See, that’s why you’re racist.”
She texted me later, saying I was following a “Marxist script”. I texted back, “oh, yeah? What script did Marx write that said brown people were ‘illegal’, but white people weren’t? Was it in the letter to Lincoln praising him for freeing the slaves, or in Das Kapital? Because I must have missed it. Why don’t you send me a copy of where you read that.”
She was upset that you wouldn’t agree to a sane interpretation of her feelings - she’s resolving all cognitive dissonance in her favor, and feels persecuted when others don’t do the same. When instead she just needed to recognize that if verbalized logic made her feelings sound insane, that’s because maybe her feelings are the problem, and those feelings need more, not less, scrutiny.
He compared the 2021 insurrection to the protests in Minneapolis and other cities in 2020 following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and to more recent protests at the Capitol last week by demonstrators opposed to the war in Gaza. Trump falsely claiming that no one was arrested in those other demonstrations and that only his supporters were targeted.
As Trump made the comparison, a man in the back of the room shouted out: “Sir, have you no shame?”
“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
There’s some other good stuff in there but that’s the one that stood out to me as new.
“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. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said
“I didn’t know about this thing, so it didn’t happen until I knew about it” is a concept my child needs to learn about, not a presidential candidate…
Latinos, especially older ones that escaped authoritarian regimes that pretend to be communist, I get. They are terrified of communists and socialists, which is how the Republicans paint Democrats. It’s almost like triggering PTSD for some of those folks.
Yeah, and I wish that were it! Honestly. I totally get it, too. But in our case, my die-hard MAGAt aunt and her son both crossed the border illegally. They’re not old or uneducated. Our government has never been authoritarian or communist during her lifetime. Like, she even has another gay son, ffs. I don’t get it. lol
Yes. There are a decent swath of votes who vote Republican but aren’t tuned in super well. Studies show that only about 30% support trump directly. That leaves 15% to 20% of his voters who simply vote the party or vote based on “it’s better for my wallet”
By running on racism and other distasteful platforms, it will chip into that normies pool, and they are likely to not turn out. Not all of the normies will see it or be affected by it, but if even 5% of the voting population chooses to not vote over voting for trump, it will be a disaster for trump and down ballot Republicans.
I guess the good thing this indicates is that black people as a population have significant voting power if the Trump campaign tactic is to alienate Harris from black voters
Now we know why they gerrymander so hard, b/c otherwise their ghouls probably won’t even come close to being elected
Wow who could have seen this one coming? Trump used this platform they gave him to spread racist evil shit. What a PR disaster for them and a PR Boone for Trump.
I’m not sure this was quite the boon for Trump. He hasn’t faced anything but soft ball Fox News reporters for years, and just made headlines for pitching a fit after being interviewed by actual journalists
The people who are into evil racist shit already know everything he has to say on that front. The people who aren’t into the evil racist shit but only watch other specific sources that don’t show it, don’t normally get to see that side of him.
First of all anyone who doesn’t know Trump’s into evil racist shit by now is unreachable and that seems like a moot point to me. But again the message of this event is not in the people who watched it. It’s the victory of Association. Trump to his base; see the blacks had me in to tell them the truth and now they know how it really is. That’s going to be the message. And there are going to be a few racist that he’s going to reach with this who might not have voted before. People who weren’t inspired by the idea of voting against old man Joe Biden are going to be paying a little more attention now.
Liberals and leftists have never understood this about conservative politics. Conservatives completely control narratives. Actual events actual facts never matter. That’s exactly why for instance they wanted that audio testimony of Joe Biden when they already had the transcripts. Same exact thing. It’s not about what’s actually said it’s about the easy picture the easy sound clip the easy message. You can’t give them easy openings. You have to make them work for it. When they have to sell their people on facts and arguments and policies they fail.
The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he’s running to lead the most powerful country in the world.
The fact that he is even a contender says more about America than anything.
I stopped laughing at Trump a long time ago … I now point my finger at the American population.
I have hope for the US because of Harris but if Trump wins it, the world will never look at the US with any bit of respect (if there ever was any left) ever again.
Intelligence (and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence as an abstract trait) is probably normally distributed just like the vast majority of other biological traits, so the mean is the median
The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he’s running to lead the most powerful country in the world.
This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.
