US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

A planned stunt that cost the taxpayer $400,000.

Pence hasn’t gotten around to criticising the white supremacists who marched in Charlotteville yet, two months after they murdered someone there, but he couldn’t wait to put the boot into some black athletes making a silent protest.

They need to be careful with this respect the military shit going on, The military may get a God complex and decide to take over. :slight_smile:

They don’t need to take over. General Kelly is already running the show.

As @anon7035031 says they are at heart a violent society.

Great passage:

"So much of the Trump phenomenon is about history. Fueling the divide between pro- and anti-Trump camps is exactly the fact that we’ve never had a real reckoning with either our terrible past or our similarly bloody present. The Trump movement culturally represents an absolute denial of our sins from slavery on – hence the intense reaction to the removal of Confederate statues, the bizarre paranoia about the Washington Monument being next, and so on.

But #resistance is also a denial mechanism. It makes Trump the root of all evil, and is powered by an intense desire to not have to look at the ugliness, to go back to the way things were. We see this hideous clown in the White House and feel our dignity outraged, but when you really think about it, what should America’s president look like?

Trump is no malfunction. He’s a perfect representation of who, as a country, we are and always have been: an insane monster. Frankly, we’re lucky he’s not walking around using a child’s femur as a toothpick."

Amazing :joy:

Tfk’s white nationalist fringe won’t like this. @anon7035031 @Enrique

Are you suggesting he was completely stitched up here, that based on nothing the powers that be decided to charge the victim of an assault with assault?

There are three being charged with assaulting him, and another three being sought.

how did he get charged with assault?

Another incident earlier in the day apparently.

Any proof to that despicable claim referring to me as that, you odious little prick? I highlight your ridiculous ‘is it cause I is black’ ali g style screaming mary act, because you are a parody.

Your Harvey Weinstein post is your best yet - some rich white Hollywood producer is getting mugged off in the press for being a sexual predator and you lament that some completely unrelated black film director, also accused of being a sexual predator/rapist isn’t getting the same support because he’s black :grinning:

So in short, you’re unhappy a black man accused of rape isn’t getting equivalent support of famous rapist Harvey. Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound?

He’s the forum’s expression of white guilt mate, so torn asunder with remorse for the sins of the white man that he has to embrace black culture to somehow atone for those sins. What he fails to understand is that it’s the same white guilt and the liberal policies resulting from it which has resulted in blacks in America being worse off now than they were in the 1960s when the Civil Rights Act was passed.

In 1950, 83% of black children grew up in a home with two parents, now it’s 33%.
In 1965, 8% of black children were born out of wedlock, now it’s a staggering 72%.
In 1954, 4% of black men were unemployed, now it’s 20% and >50% in many areas.

All this after decades of affirmative action programs, and most shocking all these metrics got worse during the 8 years of our first black president. Liberals call this progress, and clowns like @turenne can listen to his gangsta rap, rant about white supremacy, and feel good about himself.

There is of course racism in Murica, don’t think that can be denied, but this fellas carry on and his cross to bear act is laughable.

yer man trump says he met with the “President of the Virgin Islands”…

What’s the story with the big orange head on him? Would someone not tell him he looks rediculous.
