Yeah, give these dirtbags their own country, sure... The UN should be ashamed. Godspeed to the IDF in bringing these animals to room temperature.

Again, more fluff. America's President should do what is best for America, and screw what world leaders may think. The world in general needs to be less dependent on Uncle Sugar and more dependent on themselves. Talking to dictators and murderous regimes is simply good policy. As Churchill said, "it is better to jaw jaw than to war war". But in any case, elections are rarely fought over foreign policy. It's the economy and domestic issues that rule.

Y'all might want to ask the American people about that...

You are right in the first sentence. She is a black woman. That was all it took-Biden promised to nominate a black woman back in 2020, and he did. As for the rest, dear God she is awful. "She fought well...." "She is a strong advocate....", what fluff. She is aware that she has been elevated far far above her level of competence- it shows in her constant nervous laughter and the way she speaks. She knows nothing about the economy, immigration, crime, the issues that Americans actually care about. Part of me wants the GOP VP nominee to be Tulsi Gabbard so I can watch Tulsi rip Kamala a new one again on the debate stage.

Yes, by all means. Recognize a state. A state that murders gay people. A state that oppresses women. A state that teaches hate and death to its children. Listen to Rushdie. He knows what he is talking about. He has felt first-hand the reality of Islamic states.

Again, moving the goalposts and deflecting. Back to the point- was it accurate, or even helpful, for Biden to refer to this as an epidemic? Given the reality of the situation.

Yeah, but the so-called "popular vote" is a meaningless number to throw around. Both parties and candidates know that the College is the key, and campaign accordingly. In Canada, we have the same situation. For the past 2 elections, the Liberal Party didn't win the "popular vote", yet they won a plurality of seats in Parliament and were able to form the government. Them's the rules. There really aren't that many countries that elect leaders by pure vote AFAIK.

Yeah. Too young and too white. The 'base' of the Democratic party would go mad if Kamala were spurned for a white dude, even though he is gay. These days, the power of the gay is waning. I think Wes Moore would be a viable candidate in the future. Seems bright and has leadership qualities.

Absolutely. I am hoping the GOP picks someone normal. VP Pence was a great pick. Humble, personable, a bit country boy charming.... he would have been fine as an interim President. That is why I am hoping for Doug Burgum as the pick. The Democrats are stuck with Kamala Harris, a total disaster. That is another reason why voting for Biden is fraught with danger.

Oh, I agree. The whole "Impeach (insert Democrat here)" thing is ludicrous. But back to the video in question. I am waiting for the fact checkers to get ahold of it and dig into the truth of what it is. There will be no Trump dictatorship. He'll probably be dead before his second term is over. Same as Biden if Joe wins.

FYI, you can see the whole terrible montage at the beginning of this clip;

Ah, but now you are moving the goalposts. Typical. So, have you actually seen the 'dreaded' Unified Reich clip or not? If not, you should perhaps refrain from commenting on it. This is why the country is fatigued. The screechers in the media constantly bring up such irrelevant crap to feed the belligerently uninformed and keep them hopping about the Bad Orange Man.

I have seen it. Definition of a nothing-burger. Nothing in it references or talks about or promotes a 'unified reich'. The words, in very blurry print, appear for about one second on a newspaper template background that has a Trump slogan on top. The words are part of a newspaper headline from the pre-World War ONE days of the German Empire. Nothing to do with Hitler, Nazis, etc.

You mean, someone put together a montage of fake headlines, used a classic old newspaper template, and briefly, in fuzzy small letters, those dangerous words appeared for about 1 second. Is THIS what you are so up in arms about? Are we back to the old "Trump is Hitler" shibboletha again?

I'll take that as a "no", shall I?

Trump said it?

I agree, very troubling indeed. But it does not show racism among the police. Rather, to me it shows a level of institutional paranoia, mixed with poor/inadequate training, and an over-reliance on force rather than on technique. But even with all that, only 34 unarmed black people killed by police. Hardly the "epidemic" that was touted.

When did Trump say "reich"?

Interesting also that the graduating students at Morehouse were less than impressed at the dubious honour of hosting Joe. It was such an obvious political pander, given that blacks are starting to favour Trump more and more, that the students wanted to be left to celebrate on their own. But no. Joe needed his moment. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/graduate-morehouse-seniors-focus-students-biden-ahead-presidents/story?id=110349353 "All of it shows that the school is more concerned about leading its sort of political agenda before it is celebrating the students that make the school worth something," said sociology major Marq Riggins. He, along with other seniors at the historically Black college for men, expressed frustration to ABC News over the commotion the president's appearance was causing and how it was drawing attention away from their own celebrations.

...so that means what exactly about the deficits that Biden is running up? Trump for his faults had Covid as an excuse. And I thought it was stupid to lockdown AND pay everyone FWIW.

My God, you people really have it bad, don't you? Trump must truly be a master of real estate. He has been living rent-free in your heads for a long time.

I'm sure it must be easy to find out though. With so many Morehouse grads working for biden... I couldn't find any. Can you?

No. According to the Police Violence Report, a total of 95 unarmed people were killed by police in 2023. Of those 95, 34 were black. Tragic and stupid, but hardly a national epidemic. And no data as to how many were killed by racist white cops, since a large percentage of police are themselves black or hispanic. https://policeviolencereport.org/ There IS an epidemic of black men murdering black men though. Something in the range of 8,000 or 9,000 black people are murdered by OTHER black people every year. So tell me, which is the true epidemic?

Nice, but it leaves out the Biden years. Why is that? I will refer to Statista for the latest numbers; https://www.statista.com/statistics/200410/surplus-or-deficit-of-the-us-governments-budget-since-2000/ Trumps three pre-covid deficits were 0.5, 0.7, and 0.98 trillion dollars. Covid was 3.1 trillion in 2020. Biden's Covid deficit was 2.8 trillion in 2021. Then, after Covid, 1.4 trillion in 2022 and 1.7 trillion in 2023, projected at 1.8 trillion in 2024. So yeah, Trump's Covid deficit was slightly bigger than Biden's. But after Covid, Biden is still overspending at a rate that Dangerous Don never came close to doing.

His commencement address at Morehouse was truly shameful. He was talking as if it were the 1950s. Some examples; "What is democracy? What is democracy? That Black men are being killed in the street. The trail of broken promises still leaves Black communities behind. What is democracy? You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does it mean? As you've heard before, to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure." How evil.
