It's now clear as daylight that the moderators are stiffling liberal voices in this place. What a disgraceful lots.

May David Koch rot in the lake of fire.

it will seem the revulsion of David koch and his brother by those who lived through the impact of the policies derived from their political gerrymandering is greater than i thought, but a certain character here who knows nothing about them except their being republican financiers will have everyone believe that you like me are lunatic liberals with no morals when hating and fighting against that kind of unbridled greed is a moral virtue of itself

Hate crimes have increased significantly since trump presidency ------------------ADL

The mods here should be more impartial. Yes, insulting posts could be hidden, but not funny ones

I don't see partiality.

When our ANTIFA members here are making the house ungovernable fighting both the living and the dead David Kock, the moderators cannot turn blind eye like the American police, but must act to enforce civility.

I am not one of the moderators.

the act of moderating means enforcing the rules once broken, one side breaks the rules frequently and you bring it to the mod over and over again who drags their feet about enforcing it, something same mods are in a hurry to do to the other side, this other side (my side) understands the moderating is stacked against us and takes care not to insult (directly anyway) but employs sarcasm and pun and pokes fun at the other side and my posts get scrapped too? before i would come out to publicly challenge the scrapping of my posts it is because I knew it didn't break the rules and they were also witty and funny which is my major grouse because i typed them in the moment and i can't remember them again and they'd have made you laugh too had you read them despite being on the other side of the political divide

"This is from a Republican. George W. Bush's speechwriter. It was published August 1, 2019.

President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson, has a message for people who are excusing President Trump's racism:

"I had fully intended to ignore President Trump’s latest round of racially charged taunts against an African American elected official, and an African American activist, and an African American journalist and a whole city with a lot of African Americans in it. I had every intention of walking past Trump’s latest outrages and writing about the self-destructive squabbling of the Democratic presidential field, which has chosen to shame former vice president Joe Biden for the sin of being an electable, moderate liberal.

But I made the mistake of pulling James Cone’s 'The Cross and the Lynching Tree' off my shelf — a book designed to shatter convenient complacency.

Cone recounts the case of a white mob in Valdosta, Ga., in 1918 that lynched an innocent man named Haynes Turner. Turner’s enraged wife, Mary, promised justice for the killers. The sheriff responded by arresting her and then turning her over to the mob, which included women and children. According to one source, Mary was 'stripped, hung upside down by the ankles, soaked with gasoline, and roasted to death. In the midst of this torment, a white man opened her swollen belly with a hunting knife and her infant fell to the ground and was stomped to death.'

God help us.

It is hard to write the words.

This evil — the evil of white supremacy, resulting in dehumanization, inhumanity and murder — is the worst stain, the greatest crime, of U.S. history. It is the thing that nearly broke the nation. It is the thing that proved generations of Christians to be vicious hypocrites. It is the thing that turned normal people into moral monsters, capable of burning a grieving widow to death and killing her child.

When the president of the United States plays with that fire or takes that beast out for a walk, it is not just another political event, not just a normal day in campaign 2020. It is a cause for shame. It is the violation of martyrs’ graves. It is obscene graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial. It is, in the eyes of history, the betrayal — the re-betrayal — of Haynes and Mary Turner and their child. And all of this is being done by an ignorant and arrogant narcissist reviving racist tropes for political gain, indifferent to the wreckage he is leaving, the wounds he is ripping open.

Like, I suspect, many others, I am finding it hard to look at resurgent racism as just one in a series of presidential offenses or another in a series of Republican errors. Racism is not just another wrong. The Antietam battlefield is not just another plot of ground. The Edmund Pettus Bridge is not just another bridge. The balcony outside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel is not just another balcony. As U.S. history hallows some causes, it magnifies some crimes.

What does all this mean politically? It means that Trump’s divisiveness is getting worse, not better. He makes racist comments, appeals to racist sentiments and inflames racist passions. The rationalization that he is not, deep down in his heart, really a racist is meaningless. Trump’s continued offenses mean that a large portion of his political base is energized by racist tropes and the language of white grievance. And it means — whatever their intent — that those who play down, or excuse, or try to walk past these offenses are enablers.

Some political choices are not just stupid or crude.

They represent the return of our country’s cruelest, most dangerous passion. Such racism indicts Trump. Treating racism as a typical or minor matter indicts us." — Michael Gerson

The reason why we host rallies in major democrats held cities is to make them waste resources policing us and to antagonize antifa----------------- proud boys

I mean, there's some s**t you literarily can't make up, i.e waste the resources of an opposition held city is so very democratic I mean, republican. And you say liberals are lunatic eh anduku?
By the way, the policing of the rally and shut down of business for that day is estimated to have cost the city of Portland around $3million

To the point that liberals like Bill Maher are loudly wishing for recession if that's what will help them take out Trump, this people will stop at nothing. I warn the naive, complacent republicans who might be deluded to think that a good economy is enough to guarantee reelection. This thing is not a game, lt's a very dirty fight and nothing is off the table...voter fraud, vote rigging, anything that helps take Trump down.

A ten-person police squad is enough to to monitor a peaceful, duely authorized rally. But masked ANTIFA thugs must come out to shut down free speech, therefore bloated security contingencies. ANTIFA is how you make America 4th world again.

stop watching edited fox news clips then hopefully the truth of which is the violent group will dawn on you and clue is, it is not antifa, let me ask you, what do you know about the proud boys? do you know what it means to earn a 4the degree among the proud boys? For you republican and trump supporters, your case is one of either blind ignorance or wilful ignorance and i don't know which is worse! You celebrate a group that openly espouses violence and condemn a group that only uses violence reactionarily, you might as well condemn the allied forces of wwII because they were all antifascists, that's right, they were genuine antifa through and through and that's why i would never consider being labelled antifa an insult, it is an honour I honestly am ashamed i have done little to earn

ANTIFA are faschists calling themselves Anti-Faschists. The Allied Forces fought real Axis faschists. But the Proud Boys and other Right Wing groups...well, the Leftist etremists call them all Racists, faschists. Nazis, Bigots, White Nationalists etc. The Left excels in name calling. But if , say the Proud Boys, are any of these things why are they given permit to do protest marches, even by left wing mayors? Even if any group's activities are illegal, is ANTFA the the law enforcement authority to arrest them?
Chicanery or deception is the middle name of the Left and accordingly, ANTIFA is only a name used to conceal the group's real identity which is FASCHIST fanatics. And, come to think of it, how do you fight faschism wearing masks, fighting police and generally taking the law into your hand?

And yet, some ignorant sobs here will say antifa is a proto-terrorist group and liberals are lunatic

Define fascism please , tell us how fascism started in Germany and the rise of the Nazi party and i will show you how in defending trump and the proud boys you're either very ignorant or you are a clean cut hypocrite. History exists to warn and guide us but when you don't know your history, you defend the indefensible.

And correct me if I'm wrong, these allied forces who fought against according to you "real axis fascism", did they do that by waving flowers and singing kumbaya at them? , do you counter senseless illogical violence with anything less than sensible, not too logical violence? I read the movie inglorious bastards was based on a real wwII Jewish American unit, tell me, how nonviolent were they? Imagine if there had been an organized ANTIFA in Germany in the mid to late 1920's who stopped the ascension of Hitler and the Nazi party? How many tens of millions of people would have survived!

The Left excels in name calling. But if , say the Proud Boys, are any of these things why are they giving permit to do protest marches, even by left wing mayors? Even if any group's activities are illegal, is ANTIFA the the law enforcement authority to arrest them?

Ever heard of the first amendment? Yes, until they are declared illegal, they have their first amendment rights for better or for worse, remember the black panther movement? How they exercised their right to bear arms in a well regulated militia and broke no laws except prevent white law enforcement from extra judicially murdering blacks without reason? Remember how they were proscribed by Ronald Reagan first as governor then as President for giving black people the power to stand for themselves against oppression? I point this to draw your attention to the irony involved, the Powers that be in the US especially in the republican party are entrenched to propagate white power, and under this administration, declaring the young boys a violent extremist group won't serve their agenda.
And ANTIFA are not there to arrest them, that would be the job of the police if they are declared illegal first, ANTiFA are students of history and are there to neutralize their excesses and prevent them from growing bolder, you know its funny no ANTIFA has ever shot up a school, church, market, synagogue or minority community but white supremacists who espouse same beliefs as the proud boys have

Chicanery or deception is the middle name of the Left and accordingly, ANTIFA is only a name used to conceal the group's real identity which is FASCHIST fanatics. And, come to think of it, why do you fight faschism wearing masks, fighting police and generally taking the law into your hand?

ANTIFA wear masks because the environment of this present administration emboldens right wing extremists and they don't want to be targeted and victimized by police who are to an extent infiltrated by neo Nazi groups and at a subtle level conservatives, so please tell me, where is the fascism in ANTIFA? (hopefully you have gotten the definition of fascism)
Where or on how many occasions have ANTIFA started violent altercations and please don't bring any right wing doctored video as evidence because the right wing like to show ANTIFA reacting after they edit out them being provoked or you'd just embarrass yourself


And I ask you for the 2nd time, what is the young boys self declared ethos? What amongst the young boys does it mean to earn a 4th degree?

Hahaha.this place is still a war zone.
It's been a minute

Seems like Folks are becoming more aware of Joe Biden's gaffs *coughs*

White House clarifies that Melania Trump has not met Kim Jong Un

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/26/white-house-melania-trump-kim-jong-un-1475726

The White House issued a clarification Monday stating that first lady Melania Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not, in fact, know each other personally as President Donald Trump erroneously claimed.

During a closing news conference at the annual G-7 summit, Trump used a question about the breakdown in relations with Iran to paint a parallel to the progress of nuclear talks between his administration and North Korea.

Calling Iran a “country with tremendous potential” prior to becoming an international provocateur and ramping up its nuclear program, Trump said he believes North Korea has similar potential if only it would disband its nuclear arsenal.

“I also say that, by the way, with respect to North Korea,” Trump told reporters. “Kim Jong Un, who I've gotten to know extremely well, the first lady has gotten to know Kim Jong Un and I think she would agree with me, he is a man with a country that has tremendous potential.”

As Trump mentioned his wife, a camera cut to Melania in the audience, who cocked her head slightly and looked somewhat quizzically at the president.

Several hours later, as the president and first lady flew back to Washington from the weekend’s summit with world leaders, press secretary Stephanie Grisham issued a statement shedding light on Trump’s comments.

“President Trump confides in his wife on many issues including the detailed elements of his strong relationship with Chairman Kim,” she said. “And while the First Lady hasn’t met him, the President feels like she’s gotten to know him too.”

Trump has repeatedly showered praise on Kim, a dictator who oversees a brutal and murderous regime in Pyongyang. A meeting in Singapore last year was the first between leaders of the two countries, and was followed by a second round of nuclear talks earlier this year that fell apart without a deal.

...still waiting for the master deal maker to make a deal happen with north korea....

Trump at G7: From skipping meetings to lavishing praise on Johnson and backing Putin’s return, the president's chaotic summit

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-g7-summit-france-boris-johnson-climate-change-macron-putin-korea-a9079711.html

Donald Trump has wrapped up a contentious weekend of meetings at the G7 in France, where he made headlines on issues ranging from his trade war with China, to climate change, to his long standing interest in re-admitting Russia to the international group.
The US president concluded his latest international appearance — which he described as “successful” and full of “tremendous unity” — with a lengthy press conference, where he attacked Barack Obama, heaped praise on Boris Johnson, and spoke in favour of returning Vladimir Putin to the G7.

At one point, he even claimed himself to be an environmentalist because, as a private businessman, he had been forced to comply with environmental regulations — regulations he has, as president, largely pushed to eliminate.

BIARRITZ, France (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump skipped a discussion on climate with other world leaders at the Group of Seven summit in France — then claimed to “know more about the environment than anyone.”

Trump left an empty chair as global power brokers debated Monday how to help the fire-stricken Amazon and reduce carbon emissions.

“I’m an environmentalist,” Trump told reporters, even as he celebrated America’s oil and gas wealth.

Environmental activists declared the summit a failure, marching to demand tougher global emissions rules and more aid for the Amazon.

Trump was scheduled to attend Monday’s session on climate, biodiversity and oceans at the G-7 summit in Biarritz, but didn’t. French President Emmanuel Macron, the summit host, shrugged off the absence, noting that Trump’s aides were there instead.

Boy! They do, and that was why Trump succeeded in entering into a trade agreement with Japan. China wants to make a deal due to Trump's Tarrif. Besides, Among the G7 countries, The US has the strongest economy, all others are struggling with internal problems. So who doesn't take him seriously now? Theresa May who at first didn't take him seriously when Trump advised her on how to handle the BREXIT situation, how did she end up? Failed miserably. Trump's opinion on reintegrating Russia into the G7 is a sensible one, it only makes sense especially if 90 percent of what is always discussed in the G7 pertains to Russia then bring them in. Obama did what he did to Putin out of Malice, cos he couldn't follow through on his infamous RED LINE and was a coward. Even the Obama-loving MSM know this too well except that they wilfully ignore it to protect their Hero.

Lol.. it had to take an official White House statement to denounce an obvious lie. Sometimes, I wonder if Trump intentionally lies or he just wants to entertain us with outrageous statements

Trump says US may host next G7 at Trump National Doral Golf Resort

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/26/politics/trump-g7-doral-miami/index.html

President Donald Trump said Monday that he is "possibly" looking at hosting the next G7 summit at his Trump National Doral Miami Golf Resort.

The US is next up to host the G7 in 2020. Trump said while he hasn't made a final decision on where to host the summit, officials "haven't found anything that's even close to competing with it."

Trump denies his Doral resort is infested with bed bugs

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/27/president-trump-tweet-doral-florida-hotel-resort-bed-bugs-1475911

The president would like to make one thing clear: The Trump National hotel in Doral, Fla. — which he's pushing as the site for next year's G-7 meeting — does not have bed bugs.

"No bedbugs at Doral," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. "The Radical Left Democrats, upon hearing that the perfectly located (for the next G-7) Doral National MIAMI was under consideration for the next G-7, spread that false and nasty rumor."

The "nasty rumor" to which he refers stems from a 2016 lawsuit brought by Eric Linder, a New Jersey man who claimed his room in the Doral's Jack Nicklaus villa had a bed bug infestation. Linder reached a settlement with the property in 2017, according to the Miami Herald.

Linder's lawsuit reemerged in the media discourse Monday after Trump told reporters at the G-7 meeting in Biarritz, France, that the hotel would likely be the venue for next year's conference. Trump could stand to profit from the influx of diplomats, politicians and staff to the hotel.

In the 20th century, you want to buy a land belonging to another country on Twitter and making childish tantrums because they refuse. Maybe he should offer to buy Biafra, I am sure Nigeria might oblige if the price is good and biafrans would be happy.... But then, I doubt trump would want a country populated by blacks.

is this the first time US is buying land from another country?

That’s why it is buying and not grabbing. Before u purchase something doesn’t it belong to someone else?

When it comes to Trump you guys just deliberately switch off your brains.

Washington Post Columnist, Jennifer Rubin's, warns of need to 'burn down the Republican Party' to wipe out Trump supporters

Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin pushed for Americans to work together to "burn down the Republican party" in the hopes of extinguishing any trace of the enthusiasm for President Trump. Rubin appeared on MSNBC's "AM Joy" Sunday and said that not only does Trump have to lose in 2020, but there must be a purging of "survivors" who still support the commander-in-chief.

"It's not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose," she said. "We have to collectively, in essence, burn down the Republican Party."
"We have to level them because if there are survivors -- if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again."
"They will take [an election win] as confirmation that, 'Hey, it just pays to ride the waves. Look at me, I made it through,'" she said.
"Up and down the ticket, federal, state and local offices, the country has to repudiate this... This has become a dysfunctional anti-government party," she said
Come and see o! My fellow threaders, Some people Don Kolo o!
