..well if Sheila says so, it MUST be right........now where's Maxine??....or perhaps clarification from Reverend Al??.............

 

 

 

 

I just did a search for Maxine Waters on YouTube and it's a continuous stretch of videos that support and "explain" her actions. 

 

I want someone to ask her about Obama's "data system" that she carelessly talked about in an interview back 2013. 

 

I posted it here before.... she is a ****ing idiot, and as corrupt as the day is long.

 

Even when you put the exact title in the search, it still comes up 3rd.

The Real Lasting Impact of Joe Biden’s Racist Comments Won’t Be the Racism

06517aea-5e1b-4636-9e19-6ba2e5040930.jpg

 

Yesterday, Joe Biden made a racist comment, charging during an interview on The Breakfast Club that any African-American who doesn’t vote for him “ain’t black.” While the media remained largely quiet until they got their marching orders from the Biden comms team (the spin is in full effect now), many on the right lit up with outrage. Once again, a Democrat was making the assumption that all black people must vote for them or they are somehow not genuinely black. This is a message made even worse coming from a nearly 80-year-old white guy with a history of questionable commentary on race.

 

 

The double standards at play here also incensed many onlookers, noting that if a Republican had said something in this fashion, there would be no op-eds hand waving it away in The Washington Post, nor would it be ignored the way it was on CNN. It would be a two week national outrage story.

But Joe Biden is a Democrat, which means this was over within 24 hours.

 

{snip}

 

 

I will concede this, though. The idea that no one will care about Biden’s racist commentary is largely correct. This won’t move any votes (or enough to statistically register). The media will excuse it and the Democrats will deflect.

 

The lasting effect here will be the continued realization by Biden’s handlers and voters that this isn’t sustainable. The “keep him in the basement” strategy can’t last forever. At some point, he has to come out and campaign. If he’s elected, he has to assume office. What this latest “gaffe” shows is that he’s not capable of doing either of those things and everyone knows it. This is a man so not in control of his own faculties that he can’t do a simple 15-minute interview without saying something ridiculous, slurring his words, or forgetting what he’s saying altogether. As I wrote a few days ago, his staffers are even having to interject now while he’s still live on the air.

 

Who exactly is excited to vote for a guy who obviously can’t physically do the job?

 

That’s the lasting impact of all this. With every gaffe, with every racist comment, and with every mind melt, fewer and fewer people are going to take the time to vote for Joe Biden. This latest racist outburst may not change any real number of minds within the black community (i.e. deciding to vote for Trump), but will they show up like they did for Barack Obama? I highly doubt it.

 

Biden’s campaign is slowly burning down, even as meaningless polls are touted as proof he’s cruising to victory. (As Transplant just posted in the Trump thread)

 

The situation today is irrelevant to what it will be in November. His campaign can’t keep holding this thing together with duct tape and zip ties. So while Biden will no doubt get away with saying something blatantly racist, it all feeds into the bigger issue, and that issue is not going away.

Beto O’Rourke mocks Texas governor’s reopening message – then hears back from Crenshaw, Cruz

By Dom Calicchio | Fox News

 

Democrat Beto O’Rourke tried to get the upper hand late Friday, mocking the gradual reopening of the Texas economy from coronavirus shutdowns as “Dangerous, dumb and weak.”

 

But at least two Texas Republicans weren’t having it.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Sen. Ted Cruz each fired back at O’Rourke, the former congressman from El Paso who failed to unseat Cruz in 2018 and then ran an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination.

 

“Is this the new Dem slogan?” Cruz snapped back.

If You Ain't Racist You Ain't a Democratic Presidential Candidate

by Ian Haworth

 

 

These words, spoken at the end of a “tense interview with Charlamagne tha God on ‘The Breakfast Club’,” were the latest in a long line of racist gaffes in Joe Biden’s political career. Luckily for Biden, he is a Democrat and is therefore not subject to the same condemnation and outrage which would – quite correctly – be unleashed upon a Republican if they said the same thing. Just imagine the apocalyptic response if Donald Trump stated that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Biden, then you ain’t white...”

 

For those paying attention, this isn’t the first abjectly racist statement to slip through the bumbling lips of Joe Biden. For example, last August he declared that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” Fortunately, the Democratic Party’s finely-tuned sensitivity to racism has a tendency to suffer from short term memory loss when politically convenient.

 

With that in mind, it is certain that this latest bizarre, foolish, and obviously racist statement by Joe Biden will soon be swept aside and forgotten. While the Left will attempt to deflect and distract, we should loudly celebrate that the Democrats finally have a presidential candidate who is happy to unveil the deep and repulsive layers of racism which form their very foundation.

 
The fundamental falsehood promulgated by the Democratic Party is that they are the party of “racial justice,” providing a platform of equality and tolerance in the face of the supposedly indisputable bigotry of the American Right. Supported by a willing mainstream media and a complicit education system, they are able to ignore all that is inconvenient, such as the fact that the early Democratic Party opposed the abolition of slavery, that the Ku Klux Klan “was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party,” or that Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly called the 1957 Civil Rights Act the “n***** bill.”
 

While the modern Democratic Party may no longer be the party of slavery or white supremacy, the despicable racism of Lyndon B. Johnson is alive and well to this day. They may not use the same vulgar language, but the underlying attitudes are completely unchanged. With his words, Joe Biden provided indisputable evidence that the Democrats do not see members of minority communities as individuals with their own goals, dreams, or desires. For the Democrats, they are nothing other than reliable voting blocks, deceived into believing that the Democrats are their one savior from the horrors of America’s bigoted past. The fact that the Democrats were almost entirely responsible for this past is an insignificant detail.

In 2020, be more skeptical than ever of polls

Washington Examiner, by Staff

 

Original Article

 

A recent spate of mostly bad polls for President Trump has driven a narrative that he’s on his way out. Pundits have declared his reelection in “deep trouble,” and they have highlighted polls showing him “hemorrhaging older voters.” Even Republicans in swing states have raised alarms about how vulnerable Trump is to defeat. But in 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic rips through the world, the uncertainty is so great that it’s sillier than ever to read so much into polls this far out from the election. To be clear, we aren’t attempting to ignore the polls that clearly show Trump’s risk of defeat.

Byron York shared a Politico piece about Democrats and how they fear ‘rapid growth’ in the third quarter.

 

Because you know, when America starts doing well it’s bad news for the Democrats. They NEED us to be broken, desperate, and hopeless to buy into their schtick and if America is recovering that’s not good for Biden in November.

 

Think about that for a minute. What’s good for America is bad for a Democrat.

Hey, we didn’t come up with it:

 

 

 

From Politico:

In early April, Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration and now a professor at Harvard, was speaking via Zoom to a large bipartisan group of top officials from both parties. The economy had just been shut down, unemployment was spiking, and some policymakers were predicting an era worse than the Great Depression. The economic carnage seemed likely to doom President Donald Trump’s chances at reelection.

Furman, tapped to give the opening presentation, looked into his screen of poorly lit boxes of frightened wonks and made a startling claim.

“We are about to see the best economic data we’ve seen in the history of this country,” he said.

This country and economy are about to come ROARING back. Yup.
