Ooooh. It’s coming. A change in the breeze. A slight vibration in the ground. Perhaps a fire being prepared to burn a few uniforms and ID cards that could cause embarrassment down the line.
Especially because we simply have no idea who these people voted for or what they’ve supported. LOL.
The government contended that no fewer than four rental agents had stated that applications sent to the Trump offices for acceptance or rejection were coded by race. Doormen stated they were instructed to discourage African Americans seeking apartments by saying the superintendent was out. A super stated that he was instructed to send black applicants to the central office, while he was authorized to accept white applicants on the spot. Another rental agent said that Fred Trump had instructed him not to rent to African Americans. The Trumps had quoted different rental terms and conditions to African Americans and made false “no vacancy” statements to African Americans for Trump-managed apartments.
But no worries: I will stop documenting his non-history of non-racism here because, for some reason, it’s really important not to call Donald Trump a racist, ever.
Why does he have that protected status, even with evidential support and examples? Seems weird. Do you have a special affection for him"?
He’s an old school bigot. What he said was not “racist” by definition. It was bigoted. I do not want to have to vote for Joe.
Maybe we’ll just call Trump an “old school bigot”? That cool?
I like how if we bring up more recent examples, they don’t count (or are forbidden?). But if we document the historical examples going back 50 years, that doesn’t count, either. Seems like a really reasonable, well-thought-out position.
Yes, because, likewise, every time you’ve accused a Democrat or liberal here of being a racist, you always go out of your way to be circumspect and spend a lot of time qualifying it with unsolicited concessions about—and examples of—racist Republicans and conservatives. C’mon. Even as double-standards go, that’s transparently ridiculous.
Also, if you start a thread here or make a post claiming that Biden has said or done racist things, and give actual supporting examples (as already been done on this forum, endlessly), I will not tell you to “stop” or suggest you’re a liar.
Pets of Belonging has got to be the title of one of Robert Pollard’s Guided By Voices songs.
Also: Did I misremember, or during one of the early seasons of the Trump Presidency, when the show’s writers were really on fire, wasn’t there some Giuliani-related character named “Tony Baloney,” or something similar.
OT: Tried to see them on the current tour. The show got rescheduled twice—and finally, I just had to give the tickets away because it was finally happening on a date that I couldn’t make.
