    How did you find it useful?

    Were you more racist before the class and less so afterwards?

    You are saying articles from news sites dated back in April are reporting the best available evidence




    Here is the link to the CDC page for the third time.

    The most comprehensive data so far, from the US, 2nd January through to August 22nd

    Once weighted for age and population distribution, tell me what the disparity is between non-hispanic whites, non-hispanic blacks and Hispanics

    'The politics of racial division': Trump borrows Nixon's 'southern strategy'
    Republican politicians of the 1960s exploited white voters’ fears and prejudices – and Trump is stoking the fire for November

    'The politics of racial division': Trump borrows Nixon's 'southern strategy'

    excerpt:

    "But Trump’s own version of the southern strategy is an updated one for 2020. It’s not a carbon copy, and the president has mixed this angle with other pitches to voters. Yet as tensions over police and protests have increased across America, Trump has increasingly made these arguments the centerpiece of his campaign in the closing months of the election.

    “He’s throwing gasoline on a fire. He knows what he’s doing. He’s making a political calculus that by stoking the worst parts of the American psyche that he can somehow gain political leverage from that,” said Isaac Wright, a Democratic strategist who specializes in rural campaigns and southern voters.

    Wright pointed to when neo-Nazis marched through Charlottesville and the president defensively said there were “very fine people” both among the marchers and the counter-marchers.

    “I think this is what he did in 2016 – he’s just becoming more blatant and open of who he is and what he’s doing,” Wright said.

    The southern strategy was the plan used effectively by Nixon to increase voting among white voters in the south. Nixon’s campaign put a heavy emphasis on law and order and states’ rights to attract white voters concerned about racial integration. Critics argued the language used in this strategy was a thinly veiled appeal to racists and an ugly response to the successes of the civil rights movement."

    Also... Trumps beautiful border wall. The 3 mile section that is actually new, not the repaired sections and not the parts that were already planned before 2016... The actual new section is about to collapse. Seems the company he chose, the company that wasn't qualified for such construction work... didn't know what the fuck they were doing.


    Hahahahaha... Fucking moron.

    Why don't you go and do some reading for a change. There is a report about two more militia guys who got arrested. They were heavy armed and even had bullet proof vests. They were on their way to Kenosha, from Missouri. The Department of Homeland Security just issued a warning to say that the greatest threat to America is from these white supremacist/white nationalist militia types. If you can read these articles in a comprehensive manner, you'll ascertain that these violent militia types are Trump supporters.

    Regardless of whether he actually made the alleged statements, the problem for Trump is that his past behavior makes it believable, such as remarks he made about McCain supposedly being a loser for being captured, his lack of any mention of McCain himself for condolence after his death, prematurely raising the flag at the White House after McCain's death when it should have remained lowered until he was interred, and a canceled visit to a cemetery near Paris with an alibi from the Trump administration that it was too rainy to honor the war casualties.

    does he not realize, that without those "suckers and loosers" he would not have a country to be president of?

    america has not always chosen the right side in every armed conflict it has committed u.s. troups to support. that much is true.
    but for god sake, this in no way diminishes, the honor and respect, earned and diserved,
    by everyone on any side in any war, who has voluntary put themselves in harms way, to protect the lives and liberties of others.

    and certainly those who have given their lives doing so.

    america was certainly on the wrong side in viet nam. not there for the freedom and lives of people who lived there, but to control a territory for greed.
    none of that makes john mccain, as an example, any less a hero, nor anyone else who fought, and or died on either side in that, or any war.

    a looser is someone who believes little green pieces of paper, with trying to impress others, not with one's own skills, but what he can purchase produced by the skills of other, is what life is for.

    -----

    and i seriously hope, 6 months from now, i "won't be able to recognize the america" of these past four years, because i damd sure don't recongnize the america i've lived in for 72 years, from them.

    Trump is upset with Kelly again, this time after the allegations surfaced about Trump calling war dead losers and suckers.



    Trump says former chief of staff Gen. John Kelly couldn't 'handle the pressure' of the job
    John Fritze, Courtney Subramanian and Michael Collins, USA TODAY
    September 5, 2020

    Trump: Gen. John Kelly couldn't 'handle the pressure' as chief of staff

    excerpt:

    "Kelly's resignation in December 2018 ended a tumultuous 17-month tenure in which he tried, but largely failed, to bring a Marine Corps-style order to a White House that has hewed more closely to the freewheeling management style Trump embraced as a New York businessman.

    The retired four-star general had sought to build a tighter organization around Trump, limiting access for staff who had grown accustomed to Trump's open-door policy in the Oval Office. But Kelly increasingly found himself sidelined by a president who chafed at being "managed" by others.

    Trump has gone after Kelly repeatedly in the past, particularly as Kelly has at times been more vocal in his criticism of Trump. The president unloaded on his former chief of staff in February in a series of tweets after Kelly defended a National Security Council staff member who testified against Trump during the congressional impeachment proceedings."

    Comedy Central did a sketch about Kelly that portrayed him as a giant while Trump and Bannon were inside the oval office playing like toddlers. The footsteps as Kelly was approaching the White House were shaking the ground. When he entered the Oval Office, Trump and his clowns became scared and obedient like little children.

    Trump doesn't like any authority that he feels is upstaging him. Trump's mode is transiency, chaos, and hiring inexperienced, temporary acting officials.

    He uses a revolving door for staffers, some of whom come back in through the door for a second round like Hope Hicks and John McEntee who returned as the Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, who is responsible for hiring and firing people, after he was ejected from the White House by the Secret Service.

    Trump said during a Howard Stern interview that his Vietnam was engaging in the dangerous behavior of unprotected sex many times and being fortunate enough to not contract sexually transmitted diseases.

    I really liked the 60s and 70s. Back then America was fun. Today every one is at each other's face and screaming.

    White House directs federal agencies to cancel race-related training sessions it calls ‘un-American propaganda’
    Josh Dawsey
    September 5, 2020 at 10:52 a.m. EDT

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...-main_whracetraining-915pm:homepage/story-ans

    excerpt:

    "President Trump is moving to revamp federal agencies’ racial sensitivity trainings, casting some of them as “divisive” and “un-American,” according to a memo by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

    In the two-page memo, OMB Director Russell Vought says Trump has asked him to prevent federal agencies from spending millions in taxpayer dollars on these training sessions. Vought says OMB will instruct federal agencies to come up with a list of all contracts related to training sessions involving “white privilege” or “critical race theory,” and do everything possible within the law to cancel those contracts, the memo states."
