  1. Well, they have around a 70 year tradition to uphold.....
  2. Bishop says she found out Trump visited historic DC church by watching it on TV http://Bishop says she found out Trump visited historic DC church by watching it on TV
  3. Thanks to Trump, American fascists no longer need to work in the shadows.....
  4. Only if it is guaranteed to keep Trump out....
  5. And clear the park of people who were protesting peacefully. For their own good.....
  6. Empathy, humanity, and unity In America, the help wanted sign is hanging out, for someone to do what Donald Trump is completely unwilling and unable to do.
  7. Obama pens an essay on the situation today: "Throughout American history, it’s only in response to protest that the political system has even paid attention to marginalized communities," he said. "But eventually, aspirations have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices — and in a democracy, that only happens when we elect government officials who are responsive to our demands." "The bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both," "Change would be most impactful at the local level. The elected officials "who matter most" when it comes to reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work as state, city and county officials." Voter turnout in these local races is usually pitifully low, especially among young people — which makes no sense given the direct impact these offices have on social justice issues, not to mention the fact that who wins and who loses those seats is often determined by just a few thousand, or even a few hundred, votes,." Think about the specific changes we want for their local criminal justice system and police department. The more specific the demands are, the harder it will be for elected officials to just "pay lip service." “It’s natural to wish for life ‘to just get back to normal’ as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us, but we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly ‘normal’
  8. Cotton: Trump should use Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty military to cities https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/500449-cotton-trump-should-use-insurrection-act-to-deploy-active-duty-military-to
  9. Anyone see the irony of Trump posing, these days, as the "law and order" President?
  10. If you look at most right wing comment sections on political sites.....they still haven't got over the fact that a black man was President.
  11. Detroit was painfully slow to adapt to the changing consumer market, and the oil crisis in the 1970s and early 1980s. They failed to recognize the threats from Japan and Europe. There was more and more demand for affordable, versatile, and fuel efficient cars. Detroit continued to design and produce heavy, expensive gas guzzling cars...loaded with "options" that consumers paid extra for. The massive layoffs, soon followed.....
  12. Of course the plan is to get Russia in there. Putin's useful idiot still working it.
  13. Agree, but it is reasonable to blame a President who completely eschews the proper and needed response to the situation, and irresponsibly throws tons of gas on the fire, just to further his own perceived political interests.
  14. Despite those spurs, Trump would run right out there....without a gun. Playing at manly law and order President - more raw meat for his base... Pathetic.
  15. Something along the lines of "concerned" Republicans....
  16. So, Tucker Carlson slams President's statement on Minneapolis and calls him ‘America’s Chief Racial Arsonist’ Turns out he was talking about Obama!! Black is White and Up is Down. These right-wing opinion shills.... are really something else
  17. Everybody knows that the media is the enemy. The President has said so.....
  18. I'm practicing self-isolation, after looking up the term pandemic, in a dictionary....
  19. Ok, so who actually trained those monkeys? Need to look into this....
  20. Obama made a statement about the situation, which sounded suspiciously like something a actual President would put out.....
  21. So, after all that blather, the actual response to China is: Criticizing Xi directly? Imposing new tariffs on China? Suspension of potential trade deals? Nope But Trump does plan to revoke Hong Kong’s preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of China!! The trade and investment relationship with Hong Kong that is distinct from the mainland, shielding the city from the US-China trade war. That will really help the people in Hong Kong, moving forward. Xi must be have a good laugh, there.
  22. Cancelled due to poor ratings....
  23. March in the street, wearing Nazi gear and promote fascism.....and the President calls you "good people"
  24. At this point Trump simply sounds like some homegrown version of a Russian bot.
  25. Articulate as well... Trump speaks at level of 8-year-old, new analysis finds: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-language-level-speaking-skills-age-eight-year-old-vocabulary-analysis-a8149926.html Of course, this may actually be appropriate for a certain amount of his target audience.
