As I said, it might be better if it was. Show us your intellect by 1. making a cogent argument and/or 2. swearing like an Irishman. What you're doing is the equivalent of baby-talk.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

Racist actions?
Trump did not defend racists, did not use racist arguments and said nothing racist...
What if he performed racist acts? He basically admitted to it in the 1970's.
Racial views of Donald Trump - Wikipedia
'Testers from the New York City Human Rights Division had found that prospective black renters at Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while prospective White renters were offered apartments at the same buildings.
...
Three doormen testified to being told to discourage prospective Black renters by lying about the rental prices or claiming no vacancies were available.
...
A settlement was reached in 1975 where Trump agreed to familiarize himself with the Fair Housing Act, take out ads stating that Black renters were welcome, give a list of vacancies to the Urban League on a weekly basis, and allow the Urban League to present qualified candidates for 20% of vacancies in properties that were less than 10% non-White.'
Why would he have reached these kind of specific settlement terms, unless they had the goods on him?

Re: Racist actions?
None of that is racism except denying apartments to blacks, and that's a sort of indirect form of it since the motivation is probably less actual racism than it is business motivated, which would be an accommodation to community racism though not his own personal racism.
But none of the other examples are of racism and are exactly what we keep yelling about. Illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism and that is an offensive ***** accusation, as is the accusation that his remarks in Charlottesville were racist.

Evangelical and catholic actions
I am not at all surprised that the religious right, protestant and catholic, have supported donnie. It is no different than the religious support during the rise of nazism. To them the ends justify the means. Lying to promote their religion or to line their pockets is perfectly in line with their religion and religious beliefs.
I had no doubt that when people were being sent to concentration camps their would not only be no push back, but they would openly support it. And I have been proven correct on this. When US citizens are sent en masse to concentration camps there will again be no sound, but cheering, from those on the religious right. They will only complain when their own special version of Christianity is not thought of as being the correct one or not pure enough.
People like Faith will be cheering them on until the moment they come for her. There is not a giant leap from removing the social safety net to removing anyone that would need the safety net.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Oh dear, that's your problem! You don't know what racism is!!!
I thought you might play the 'that was sooo long ago' card, but behold! She doesn't know the meaning of a word, again.

Business motivated racism does not count?

Doing racist things is racist. The motivation does not matter.
Illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism
As you have been told numerous times. The issue at the border is not an "illegal" immigrant problem. The vast majority are seeking legal immigration and trying to apply for asylum. By not allowing brown people the same right to apply as white Europeans is racist.
Everything you stated in this post was racist.

Sometimes you get a glimpse into the mind of a Trump-supporting conservative, and it confirms what you already believed. Just mind blowing.

Re: Racist actions?
Seems like a different motivation to me if you are focused on losing money rather than personally hating blacks. But yes it IS racism. However, none of the other things on the list are racist. Illegal immigration has nothing to do with race, and Trump did not support the white supremacists in Charlottesville no matter how you ***** ******** spin it.

Jerry Falwell Jr. seems to have used Michael Cohen's services to cleanup his own indiscretions.
I am quite confident that the evangelical grifter class will not say a word as they are afraid that their own indiscretions will see the light of day.
Looks like he is just as evil and immoral as his father.
Exclusive: Trump fixer Cohen says he helped Falwell handle racy photos

Re: Racist actions?
Yes you are now all rewriting what is going on at the border. Fake news is really your forte on the Left. But there ARE illegals coming and objecting to that is NOT racism.

Re: Racist actions?
Hey you twerp. The Protestant Church in Germany had gone LIBERAL, due to liberal theology encroachment in the 19th century. It was not a true Christian Church. The true Christians were few in those days, but Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a famous one, who died for being part of the plot to assassinate Hitler. Your posts on this subject are beyond evil.

Racy photos?
From what I read, they were of his wife. Not sure I'd claim that as an indiscretion.

Why do you link a person's skin color with losing money?

You are correct that people of all races are illegally immigrating to this country. However, it is curious that Trump only focuses on the brown ones.
and Trump did not support the white supremacists in Charlottesville no matter how you ***** -->***** ******** -->******** spin it.
We already know that you will not change your mind no matter what the evidence is. That's part of the glimps into the conservative, Trump-supporting mind that confirms what we already suspected.

Re: Racist actions?
I believe Trump expected blacks to drive out the whites and his property would then be occupied by all blacks so that its value would drop and so would his rents. That was a common expectation back in the day, it was the cause of a lot of racism in renting and selling properties. And it was true. Whites WOULD move out and the property values WOULD drop.
Trump was never "focusing on brown people" AT ALL. All he ever said was that people illegally crossing the southern border brought a lot of problems with them. The LEFT supplied the racist interpretation and began beating him up for it. It was NOT in anything he said.
Of course I won't change my mind about Charlottesville. I posted that video to ANSWER all the accusations I'd already heard a million times. Repeating them doesn't motivate me to change my mind, it just makes me want to scream at all you ***** -->***** ******** -->******** for refusing to see that he never said one thing in favor of the white supremacists. Just fake news after fake news. The video says what I said it says.
