    I'm sure it was a total "accident."

    Trump's not racist! Name ONE thing he's ever done or said that's racist!*

    * And therefore, in light of this standard response from most Trump supporters, affirming his total and complete lack of racism, neither could anything that happens at his convention be racist.


    Apologies if this post seems childish, but this being actually a typical response from Trump supporters, it very clearly illustrates the insane childish level of discourse with and among adults who support Trump. Once they've convinced themselves, or been convinced, that he's not racist the actual facts of his decades-long racism and that of his supporters becomes......well, not factual in the alternate reality. It's insane.


    Also; the proper response to the question posed being, of course; "Which decade would you like an multiple examples from?"

    Trump's never ending LIES about migrants being violent are certainly racist.

    FB_IMG_1721439658376.jpg

    EXAMPLES OF TRUMP BEING RACIST . . . .

    * Trump falsely claiming migrants are violent

    *Trump calling migrants "animals" who "infest" our country

    * Trump saying migrants are "poisoning the blood" of our country

    * Trump frequently criticising cities that are mostly black or have black mayors

    * Trump saying laziness is a trait in blacks

    * Trump falsely claiming President Obama wasn't born in the US

    No need to apologize Jo. Almost all of your posts are childish. We’re all used to it so much that we have come to expect it from you.

    As we've come to expect those with your political beliefs to support a racist.*


    * who is also a twice-impeached, lying serial adulterer, rapist, convicted felon who accepted help in an election from Russia and enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election.

    You must be so proud.

    This is at best a third hand quote made by Sen. Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate where they have priviledge.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news.../25/did-donald-trump-really-say-those-things/

    “Laziness is a trait in blacks”
    This is a secondhand quote, something that someone has alleged that Trump said. So it should be viewed with some skepticism.


    Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino President John R. O’Donnell, in the 1991 book “Trumped,” claimed that Trump once said that “laziness is a trait in blacks.” Here is the full context for the statement, as described in the book. O’Donnell relates a conversation with Trump about a finance employee, who happens to be black and who O’Donnell believes has shortcomings.

    In my post, I provided a link which described this as a secondhand quote from a book by author John R. O'Donnell. The linked article also included the following . . . .

    "In an interview with Playboy in 1999, Trump remarked that “[t]he stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a f—-g loser. A f—-g loser. I brought the guy in to work for me; it turns out he didn’t know that much about what he was doing. I think I met the guy two or three times total. And this guy goes off and writes a book about me, like he knows me!”

    And your link says exactly what I was saying: Reid quoted (misquoted actually) O'Donnell recount of his recollection of what Trump supposedly said. So there is no firsthand evidence that he said this.

    As stated in your link, Trump stated that the accounts were probably true before years later claiming that they weren't. Do you think a confession is evidence?

    No. My linked article does not say what you were saying. Neither the meme I posted nor the linked article even mention Harry Reid.

    All parties acknowledge that this is a secondhand quote. So, of course, there's not going to be "firsthand evidence".

    But then, Trump himself admitted in an interview that what the author said is "probably true".

    Where is the video? Where is the picture of the gesture? Who are the people making this claim? Was the black protester one of the people trying to replace the American flag?

    I assume this is the clip in question, but without seeing the video I obviously don't know.

    Well according to a certain contingent, racism doesn’t exist in 2024, it’s a figment of the left’s imagination…and on the off chance that it did exist, it’s only Democrats who are racist, not Republicans.

    That’s exactly how I feel when I read Jo’s posts. If you weren’t funny sometimes I would feel the same about yours.
