    That's exactly what I mean, it doesn't matter if the racism took place in the 90s or the 70's or whenever or by whomever. it is discrimination full stop.

    Not what I garnered from your posts.

    Which read as, Trump is a Cretin to everyone he isn't racist.

    The reality is Trump is a racist Cretin as long as everything else.

    The cretin has no problem mocking disability or dead soldiers, but you think a trip across the bridge to racistville would be one too far.

    He isn't a card carrying member of the Klan, but you don't judge someone by that high bar.

    My GP is a bit shít, yeah yeah but Harold Shipman.

    He can't compute the other way.

    It's like trying to get car keys off an aggressive drunk.

    Comey is probably the reason he won the election in 2016.

    The sad thing is he knows this could get people killed... and he just doesn't give a ****.

    And whoever voted for him and supports him know that too.

    Not only is he not a card carrying member of the Klan, long before it became fashionable to ask him to denounce white supremacists, he did exactly that:
    Now I understand that David Duke has decided to join the Reform Party to support the candidacy of Pat Buchanan. So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, - Mr. Duke, a Neo-Nazi - Mr. Buchanan, and a Communist - Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.

    https://www.factcheck.org/2016/03/trumps-david-duke-amnesia/

    The denouncement didn't last, when Duke endorsed the Donald.
    Tapper, Feb. 28: I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism of former KKK grand wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be treason to your heritage. Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don’t want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?

    Trump: Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. OK? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know.

    Ahhhhhh...What's a white supremacist?....dohhhhhh!

    I believe the pertinent question here is why it became fashionable to ask him if he was happy to be endorsed by a white supremist?

    I mean, what part of his behaviour would give the impression to white supremists that he was thinking along their lines? I'm mystified.

    I am genuinely mystified why this became a line of questioning. Part of the problem is I do not remember when it started, I just sort of became aware of it when it was already a big thing.

    Why did it start and what did he do to suggest he supported white supremacists?

    I am not asking what got white supremacists supporting Donald Trump, I am asking what got journalists thinking Donald Trump supports white supremacists?

    Why didn't he just say the only answer to that question?

    I'm an Australian and my experience has been the country has always been a far better place and done better when it has had left wing governments, the Hawk and Keating governments in the 80's in particular. It was the left wing government of Kevin Rudd which used helicopter money to stave off the GFC, and it worked. Left wing governements gave Australia one of the absolute best health care systems in the world, and one of the best superannuation systems of compulsory retirement savings. The right wing government of Howard introduced a GST (VAT) and allowed foregn companies to gain control and almost all the benefit from Australia's mineral resources.

    A left wing government introduced free tertiary eduction and it changed the country. Then a right wing government abolished it and copied the disasterous American model of education as a business.

    The right wing governments powered by neo-con policies, sold off state assets to the wealth classes leading to the country now having some of the most expensive electricity in the world. I really could go on and on about the financial evils perpetrated by Australian right wing governments.

    New Zealand has a left wing government lead by Jacinda Ardern, one of the most admired world leaders today.

    The UK only has the NHS because of a left wing government. How's it's current right wing government doing? Highest number of covid deaths in Europe, Brexit and dire financial consequences predicted by the Bank of England.

    Yeah, but...something, something, socialism...

    Okay, why did he begin a wild goose chase for Obama's birth cert?

    The thing is, the american left is not interested in better access to education for everyone, they want the end results now. So they don't push to have more women and minority engineers graduating to solve their issues with diversity and gender pay gap naturally, they want to force the corporations to solve it artificially. Or wealth disparity, instead of improving the life for the impoverished, they want to make it difficult for the rich. So, you see, there's good socialism, and bad socialism, and now the bad kind is pretty prevalent everywhere.

    I agree he clearly did know who Duke was. He blamed it on a dodgy earpiece, but I suspect that is nonsense.

    I suspect the truth is instinctively he believed it was not a good idea in an election which every would count, to start saying I don't want peoples votes.

    Which would suggest to me that he is a man entirely without any principles. Although, to be fair, that's pretty easy to see from nearly every action the man takes.

    Purely politically motivated, rather than racially, I would think. That he did it to curry favour and build support within the Republican party would make more sense to me than to he did it to promote his white supremacist credentials.

    So he courted the vote of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

    Grand so.

    Yet again project Veritas prove themselves to be nothing but liars on the whistleblower story. Still won't stop the usual suspects on here from trying to champion whatever their next batch of lies are, though.

    As I said was obvious yesterday, much like Tara Reade, when this person became aware of the legal implications of lying to investigators and making false reports they immediately changed their story. Reade refused to name biden specifically to investigators while happily doing so on TV, while this eejit is happy to peddle lies on YouTube but outright recanted them to investigators... and stated they weren't even his own allegations, but those of PV who wrote the fecking thing for him.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/postal-worker-hopkins-ballot-pennsylvania/2020/11/11/c9b70eda-2470-11eb-8599-406466ad1b8e_story.html
    In an interview this week with federal agents, a Pennsylvania postal worker walked back his allegation that a supervisor had tampered with mailed ballots, saying he had made “assumptions” based on overheard snippets of conversation, according to an audio recording of the interview posted online Wednesday by activists who have championed his cause.

    The two-hour recording shows that Richard Hopkins recanted claims he had made in a sworn affidavit that top Republicans cited over the weekend as potential evidence of widespread election irregularities and fraud.

    Hopkins told federal investigators on Monday his allegations were based on fragments of conversation among co-workers in a noisy mail facility in Erie, Pa., according to the recording.

    When an agent from the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General asked Hopkins if he stood by his sworn statement that a supervisor “was backdating ballots” mailed after Election Day, Hopkins answered: “At this point? No.”

    He also agreed to sign a revised statement that undercut his earlier affidavit.

    ...

    During the recorded interview, however, federal agents repeatedly reminded Hopkins that his cooperation was voluntary, and Hopkins agreed to sign a document stating that he was not coerced.

    Asked by an agent whether he had legal representation, Hopkins said Project Veritas had a lawyer on retention “in case there’s anything that happens.” The agent told Hopkins that if he had a personal lawyer, “I would make whatever efforts possible to have that person here.” Hopkins said he didn’t have a lawyer.

    Hopkins also repeatedly expressed regret for signing the initial affidavit because it overstated what he knew and witnessed, according to the recording.

    He told agents the affidavit was written by Project Veritas.

    He said he was not fully aware of its contents
    because he was in “so much shock I wasn’t paying that much attention to what they were telling me.

    Ah Ah.

    You are at it again.

    You are excusing racism by claiming it was motivated by something else.

    Tut, Tut!

    Just looking at that tweet - He @'s JohnKennedy and the Justice Department trying to get a response , but he also includes Maria Bartiromo.

    He's not getting his updates from a staffer or directly from the Senate Committee room like you might expect the President of the United States might.

    No, he's just watching Fox News!!

    That's the President , sitting alone on his couch tweeting at the TV.

    Pathetic.

    Some of which are tweets denouncing Fox News and saying 'Newsmax' is the place to go to for news now.
