Even better is tomorrow Durham will announce a developement in the investigation, according to Barr!

Nothing burger! The FBI lawyer will plead guilty to modifying an email that did not let it be known Page may have worked for another agency. This has the Republicans mad that after all this time NOTHING has turned up in Durham's investigation to date.  It is hilarious that the next step is to go after the current FBI director who is a trump appointee. Gets funnier everyday. Watching Graham get all wound up over it is perfect!

Kamala Harris has serious baggage: kept prisoners locked up for use as slave labor, arrested parents of truant kids, loves Antifa, hates the Second Amendment- for starters. But frankly, most of the choices Biden's handlers came up with have serious baggage as well.

Ah, that's why the Trump campaign and posters on here are scrambling to come up with something against her.

 

Looks like there ain't much.

45 is a racist. Duh.

And? She is not and was not in the slave trade. Neither were her parents or grand parents. There are many decendants of slave owners.

 

trump supporters really grasping at straws here.

Well maybe she can kick in a larger share towards reparations then. Her father wrote about the family history of slave ownership.

Not a lot of scrambling needed. It's all in the open, but will the far lefties even look. Their rage against anything not aligned with their narrative gets cancelled.

This line of attack is stupid and ridiculous. Regardless of her ancestors history in Jamaica do you think voters will think that means that she is in favor of slavery? 

 

45 fans are desperate. Have some dignity.

Her connections with Black Americans are weak at best. After all didn't she disproportionately send many to prison in California?

I can agree with you, but what about reparations for blacks. Is that not ridiculous as well? Why should I have to pay for something my ancestors had zero to do with.

 

If it could be proven Trump's family at sometime were involved in owning slaves do you not think it would be news. It would be talked about nonstop on CNN and the like.

The Trump supporters and campaign are the ones who have to look and come up with the goods. And so far there ain't much.

Don't forget that a big, big part of the vote will be for or against the sitting president, so that should make it easy, right?

Well trump is rasist there is no doubt about that and marching with BLM is imo an honorable thing and it’s also our 1th amendment right keep in mind March and or support I as a white guy old enough to rember the 60s quite clearly stand in solidarity with the BLM movement that does not mean I support arson or vandalism it means I support equality and accountability

You'd be surprised that there actually is majority support for some form of reparations. No not direct compensation but social change to repair the generations of damage that started with slavery but continued with Jim Crow laws, real estate redlining, unbalanced incarceration rates etc. 

It's worth a discussion anyway. 

 

45s case is very different because of his own record of draft dodging and racism its stickier to know about his family background of draft dodging and support of white supremacist ideology, even possibly a KKK connection.

And I assume you're in favor of paying reparations to account for the sins of your ancestors. blm is nothing but organized homegrown terrorists.

They are not terrorists. That kind of rhetoric is sick and disgusting. 

 

There have of course been some bad actors on the street. 

 

They do not represent the BLM movement. 

 

In fact some of them are false flag right wingers. 

 

Also of course looting is not protest. Looting does not represent the BLM movement.

No I'm not surprised, politicians are standing in line to apologize for their "white privilege" 

 

"Even possibly a KKK connection"  You understand the hypocrisy here - Harris had family who owned slaves is not a big deal but show one pic of Trump's grandfather shaking hands with any kkk person and it would be a non stop news story.

 

More to come on Harris background.

Tell that to the business owners who lost everything or the police who were injured or lost their lives.

 

Tell that to the 100's of cops who are laid off in Portland to pacify the terrorists aka blm, antifa. They looted and burned till the city to it's knees. Oh please blm we'll defund the police if you stop looting and burning. Now that's truly disgusting.

No! It's not hypocritical at all and the reason is the presidents own long and disgusting history of racist actions and speech! He continues with that filth today with racist and misogynistic attacks on Harris. 

 

You will not hear Harris support slavery today or in the past. 

 

 

Get the difference dude?

There is no mainstream support for that and you know it. Those criminals deserve to be prosecuted and I'm sure Biden Harris agree. Such bad actors do not represent the BLM movement

And I'm sure blm is taking credit for what the terrorists accomplished, do you think Portland decided to defund because of peaceful protests, I'm sure they voted to defund because their city can't survive the destruction.

OK enough of this. Please provide concrete evidence to prove Trump is a racist. His gargantuan efforts to include black workers in the economic boom was incredible. Those jobs, we remember, we NEVER coming back, yet Trump brought them back. I have never heard Trump speak ill of blacks, unlike Biden who recently claimed blacks are not "real blacks" if they didn't vote for him, and that black culture has no diversity compared to other ethnicities such as Latinos. Both howling examples of racism. Trump is not a racist, and your repeated misinformation without credible supporting evidence is becoming very silly. You don't like him, fine. But stop making up lies, as per the forum rules. TY.

Always interesting to read / know the positive and negative background of a politician candidate for a high position.

In my country, one has to read the comments of the opposition to know the negative, the allies for the positive.

I suppose it is the same in every country.

OK so, Harris will have to answer for her ancestors,  while Pence will have to answer for the US Pandemic handling and death toll. 

And US voters will decide what matters most.

As you insist on calling a well justified American domestic protest movement BLM a terrorist movement I have come to the conclusion that I cannot be bothered to engage at that truly sick level. 

 

That's the rhetoric of dictators.

 

Domestic protest is terrorism. 

 

No it is not. 

 

Pick up random peaceful protesters in unmarked vans. The stuff of the likes of Putin. 

 

So have an interesting election season and goodbye and good riddance.

Still beating that "majority vote" thing, I see. In the US it's irrelevant, as you very well know, as the founding fathers made it impossible for the largest states to dominate the election of POTUS.

 

The ones beating up drums are Trump supporters who keep bringing up imaginary majorities (regular, huge or silent), and expectations regarding voting figures and outcomes. Pointing out that neither is supported by fact or precedent is relevant.

 

If the majority thing isn't relevant, though, why is it a thing with Trump supporters to go on about landslide elections victories, majorities and the like?

You appear to actually take polls seriously, when they have been proven time after time to be erroneous.

However, if they showed Trump ahead, would you be accepting them?

 

The poles did not actually prove "erroneous", other than to people who can't properly understand poles. The "time after time" bit serves to drive this point home.

What's the racial mix of the 100 cops who will lose their jobs? Seattle has been actively recruiting minorities.

...and like other police forces nationwide, been teaching them them ol' mighty whitey repression tactics such as racial profiling, chokeholds and the like.
