Summations Only

Maybe because he's an asshole and needs to be constantly shouted down?

Well, here's the real problem as I see it. If Trump calls it a "rat-infested hellhole," again, that is not the tone or tenor a sitting President needs to be making. But the implication is that it was deliberately said with the goal of making a jab against black people. Look, the DNC has to stop wielding their race-baiting agenda like a hammer. Every time an accusation like that is wielded inappropriately, it dilutes and water-downs legitimate racism and racist rhetoric. This controversial non-controversy is that its a cheap tactic that the DNC has been using in its playbook for a long, long time. Look at the DNC debates... what has garnered the largest attention? The spat between Biden and Harris concerning whether or not Biden is a racist. I mean, curiously he wasn't a racist for the 8 years he worked for a black president... did you hear anyone mention that? Interesting. But now that its an expedient towards defeating him, pull out the racist hammer and bash people over the head with it. I'm no fan of Biden, I think he's a train wreck... but the bigger issue is the way the DNC has weaponized racist accusations. And its the same thing with the border controversy... it must be about "brown people" and not droves of unvetted people streaming across the border. And then there's the obsession with neo-nazi's, which hilariously makes up such a tiny fraction of the population. But hear the way CNN talks about it like there's a large standing army of white nationalists. Lol, what? Its gotta stop... because these kinds of accusations are precisely is what feeding into racial animosity, not ameliorating it. Yeah, of course not... that's his base. He thinks of them as "hardworking Americans that got the shaft from the Obama Administration." Its all political bullshit. The Rust Belt sucks.... I wish it didn't. It used the be the envy of the world, but it has deteriorated into a rat-infested hellhole.

I didn't read the live blog, so I can't speak for what was and was not said.I do recall though, during the transition before Trump's inauguration, Krugman predicted the markets would react badly to Trump's election.They didn't. Unlike conservative economists, though, Krugman admitted he was wrong and explain the assumptions that went into his prediction and why those assumptions were incorrect.Pretty much what I expect from an authority on a subject if they are to retain my respect.

Trump said to go back where she came from IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THEIR CRIME PROBLEMS before telling us how to deal with it here. And it's just the usual leftist confusion of a simple practical point with racism. Trump never says anything racist ever, but the left turns ordinary comments about policy and practicality into racism.

Right wingers have a tendency of believing, without question, anything that reinforces their belief set. There is no attempt to vet the source or find the original source of data. A quick 5 minute search would have exposed issues with the video. Rightwingers seemingly have an inability to tell the difference between actual journalism and propaganda.
Making assertions without data to back it is meaningless. Assertions must have facts to back them. A good sign that an argument is bs is the lack of supporting facts and data.

Speaking of the difference between actual journalism and propaganda, just about all we get from the media these days is propaganda, just like we hear Trump accused of racism all the time though he's never said a racist word.. May I recommend again Mark Levin's latest book, "Unfreedom of the Press." Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

He was explicitly talking about other countries, not their own districts in America:

quote:

So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run, link

And he clearly didn't bother to check the facts about what contries they supposedly came from.

You couldn't possibly know that.

Actually it's because he tells it like it is and nobody else does. Baltimore IS a rat-infested hellhole and that's a fact, not racism. I'll name them againj: Elijah Cummings himslef said so, so did the previous mayor of Baltimore, and so did Bernie Sanders.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

You know who gets to decide what's racist? Non-whites.

Trump began talking negatively about Cummings and Baltimore in a series of tweets on July 27. In a Quinnipiac University poll conducted from July 25 to July 28 -- two days before the tweets, the day of the tweets, and one day after the tweets -- Trump had a 6% approval rating and 84% disapproval rating with black voters. Eighty percent of black voters said Trump is racist, while just 11% said he is not.

​

A Fox News poll conducted from July 21 to July 23 had Trump at 75% disapproval among black registered voters, with 22% approval. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted June 28 to July 1, 81% of African Americans said they disapproved; 18% approved. Both of those approval numbers were substantially better than the one in the new Quinnipiac poll, but still: On the whole, large majorities of African Americans were displeased with him

Naw. It's because he's an asshole and needs to be constantly shouted down.The rat-infested hellholes are his son's properties in the district.

Some of Baltimore is a rat-infested hell hole. Some of it is seriously upscale. Much of it is in between. Quotes, please.

Actually none of Kushner's properties are in Cummings' district.

I stand corrected. Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

See, you're paying attention to the wrong media sources. She did not accuse him of being racist. In fact, she prefaced her remarks by saying she didn't believe he was racist but, read on...https://www.cnbc.com/...nd-working-with-segregationists.htmlI ask you to show me in that encounter when she claimed racism on Biden's part.Shame on Tulsi Gabbard for mangling the Harris/Biden exchange, and shame on you too.
