So she's too black to be president and not black enough to be black.
Right... What a racist weirdo.
Many people are saying he's the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.
Also a rapist.
And a fraud. And a felon. Who shits himself a lot.
Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.
Maybe it's because they're weird too? Which is also a bit weird. Do we still call them Trumpers or just weirdos?
I've been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I've learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it's too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I'd chime in with a "Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?" or "Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women's health care?" etc
It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting "small government" and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I've had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go "hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint". They're also typically fans of my case that I don't care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.
My two cents
He's the bigliest weirdo in history. Record-breaking. They're all saying it.
He's going to start some birther shit at some stage as well. Claim she was born in Jamaica or some shit.
He's already claiming she's Canadian because she lived there when she was 12 and that's where her mother worked at that time. So we're aren't long now from demanding long form birth certs.
"I paid some detectives to go up to Canada and you wouldn't believe what they found! Why yes, they're the exact same guys that have been in Hawaii for a decade looking into Obama, why do you ask?"
He'll probably say she was born in both Jamaica and India. She's Schrodinger's presidential candidate (and analogy that is even more relevant after Vance's stupid 'cat lady ' comment).
The joke on The Daily Show the other day was that she's too young to be president and too old to be a woman...
Yeeeah. See, corporate news? That’s how one writes a headline.
You could learn something, corporate news. Trump’s idiocy, his racism, his blatant unethical - often illegal - activities can just be spelled out. You don’t need to pretend he’s just another normal guy out here doing normal things. That’s the lie, corporate news. You see that?
They are so feckless. So many titles are basically “Trump Questions Harris’s Race at NABJ Interview” like it’s wasn’t insane.
This headline: chef’s kiss
This entire interview was a headline gold mine. Even Fox News was having trouble spinning this as anything other than a disaster.
“Are you with ABC?” Trump continued. “Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network, and I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.”
Uh, it’s “faith”, dipshit. “Came here in good faith” is the expression. Good spirit(s) are when you’re happy.
Are you just, like, stroking out all the time? Or is that just you being a stupid motherfucker. How could we tell?
Hey maybe he was just happy until he heard the first question?
Or until he realized that he was at the NABJ convention rather than NAMBLA.
Cannot help himself. This won't be the last time
He's just a confused old man.
You're thinking about Mr Biden again, sir. Don't you worry about it. Let's check your diaper and get you back to the TV Room, OK? Don't forget your special red hat.
From the people who brought you "one drop of blood", we present you "not black enough" AND "not really black".
Scratch your head and phone a friend while you wrap your head around the latest double speak.
Watch in amazement as they subdivide diverse groups based on superficial differences, like geography.
Why does everyone think Republicans are racist?? Just because they say racist shit, act racist and are racist, doesn't mean that they are racist!! Do better guys!!
He just can't wrap his head around the idea of someone being biracial, or chooses not to, whatever.
Its the exact same shit they did to Obama. The trick is that McCain and Romney never went on record saying this bullshit. They had a gaggle of C-List news celebrities say it over and over again, while they would play the "I can't believe someone would say OBAMA ISN'T BLACK that's crazy who would think that?" game.
But Trump isn't a politician in the traditional sense. He is the C-List news celebrity who talks shit all day. The GOP doesn't want the one-eyed Navy Seal who makes serious sounding noises all day running for President. Or the elite business genius who doesn't care about all our beautiful aborted white babies because he's too busy counting his (((money))). They literally want to put William F. Buckley in office. But he's dead, so they'll settle for the Cheeto Mussolini.
I'm glad someone else remembers this bs. The right wingers attacked Obama in the same way because he was raised by a white single mother in Hawaii and later by an Indonesian step father overseas. Because these idiots don't have a word for that, they attacked him as a pretender. But let's be clear, they don't do ambiguity because complexity loses them voters.
Strangely the right wingers got something almost correct for a change. It's true that the concept of "race" is both racist and artificial. It's how you were raised that largely determines your culture. Obama wouldn't fit in in Africa. True. But he was raised as an American. THAT MEANS HE'S AMERICAN.
The same is true for Harris. Its sad that she's going to get attacked for being raised by an Indian-American-Jamacian mother in oaktown (which was predominantly black back then) because of stupidity and the great orange puff's lack of self control
Trump also said: “A black job is anybody that has a job,” he said. “That’s what it is.” Again, the crowd gasped.
At first I was surprised he was invited but this was some 4D chess. He saw the trap and he dove head first.
I... i don't even understand what that means? Is this some Americanism or is he just being incoherent again?
He's being racist. Everyone was wondering after the first debate what "black jobs" were. Unfortunately, Biden died on stage, so that overshadowed it.
“Many fine people have told me that I was the blackest president in American history. It’s true, folks. And that’s why coloreds should vote for me instead of Laffin’ Kamindian. Did you know she’s half-Indian? What’s up with that? She’s also a FEMALE, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s a disgrace.”
If the Republicans were at all competent, they could actually have made this attack work.
Just look at Kedrick Lamar's roasting of Drake in "Not Like Us". Drake is clearly black, but he was mostly raised by a non-black mother in Canada. A lot of the emphasis in Not Like Us is how Drake has to do things like travel to Atlanta or wear clothes from Compton to pretend to fit in with black culture. So Lamar says:
"No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer"
A very clever Republican strategist use that Harris was mostly raised by her Indian mother, how she spent her teens in Montreal, Canada, how she married a white man, how she prosecuted people for marijuana possession, and so-on to try to sow doubts about whether she really fit in.
But, they'd have to have done that using black surrogates who were seemingly not tied to the Trump campaign. Instead, they're so incompetent that they have Trump just blurt out to a Black audience that she's not really black... which instead puts everyone on her side.
It's crazy that people keep saying she prosecuted thousands upon thousands of black individuals with Marijuana charges. I swear people don't know how to Google and find out that she oversaw 1900 cases, (which was a total for her AND those under her) but only 45 went to prison for it... and those were extreme cases. I've used the LetMeGoogleThatForYou site more than I'd like to admit.
