The anti Trumper was screaming white power and the Trumper parroted him. Nothing to see here unless your IQ matches your freezer where mom keeps your meatloaf supply. Your angry your basement doesn't have a golf cart.
White lives matter! -
Trump has the attention span of a gnat and had his volume turned down. Is this the best excuse the right can come up with?

I've liked tweets only to find out the author was a hardcore white supremacist. Happens. I've also liked tweets from the tacit white supremacists who increase property taxes and gentrify black neighborhoods.insinceredawg said:Trump has the attention span of a gnat and had his volume turned down.

So the President of the US and the leader of the free world with his 80M+ followers on Twitter shouldn't be held to a higher standard than you and your 10 followers?huskyhooligan said:

Joe Biden didn’t want his kids growing up in the “racial jungle” with the the black kids but this is the huge story.

I don't think anyone ever said he was infallible. It's twitter bro. Or is it MA'AM?insinceredawg said:

What about the meme of him being given that one award from a black person? That's actually the most common one I see and probably better than him posing with these three.Sledog said:

Maybe you can explain when he became a racist. The left loved him until he ran. Pony up a response comrade.MelloDawg said:

I haven't invested enough time to research if/when he became one or really his platforms on race prior to becoming president (likely because he didn't need to have them) nor am I predicating my vote on that sort of thing. I think he and Biden are probably about the same: two elderly white men, probably used some racial epithets that aren't appropriate in any age, still say things that are arguably inappropriate now.Sledog said:

That said, Trumps acts now are what's important. If he could keep his mouth shut on Confederate monuments, his descriptions on immigrants, etc etc, he wouldn't be painted the way that he is by left leaning talking heads. -
Guy screaming where's your hood at a dude in a fucking golf cart. Guy says, yeah buddy, whatever, White Power. And somehow people want to get more worked up over some guy who basically tells some dipshit screaming vulgar invictives at him to fuck off, rather than the idiots that are screaming at him in the first place.
Makes total sense. Jeezus. -

Trump's never gonna be one to play it safe. Love him or hate him, he's going with his gut impulses.MelloDawg said:

Playing it safe and embracing the status quo is Obama-Bidenesque AF. Not. Gonna. Happen. -

If it seems like they are teeing up the “Trump is a racist” stories each week, it’s because he’s given them easy material to spin for the headlines which is all people read anyway. Whether or not he is racist is not the point when he has the free wheeling approach to culture war rhetoric that he does.Alexis said:

If he approached things the way Pence does, making Trump out to be racist would be a taller task for the media. -
But Joe and his kids might be in a jungle isn't racist. Got it.

Pence won’t have solo meetings with women who identify as women without a third person there. You Leftists already tried to make him resign for it and the #MeToo was the narrative so it went away.MelloDawg said:

Weird. I’m pretty sure I said that Biden has said things that can be construed as racist, including the racial jungle comment.Sledog said:But Joe and his kids might be in a jungle isn't racist. Got it.
I mean, I realize the tone of the post was critical of Trump so the easy thing to do is lump me in with a liberal echo chamber. -
That’s a bit of a non sequitur. Left leaning media would have a tougher time spinning the “Trump is stoking racial tensions” if he didn’t do it to himself. If supporters of his think that his comments on racial issues are innocuous and might not mandate an eyebrow raise, then reasonable conversations on his rhetoric can’t be had.NorthwestFresh said:

They’d still try to make a story out of it though, sure. -
It's fine if he wants to post that shit but he and his supporters can't turn around and bitch about being called a racist. Fucking own it then. Can't have it both ways.TurdBomber said:

Jesus, this was a stupid gaffe and part of why people admit Trump can't get out of his own fucking way but gtfo of here if you think you've got any integrity on the issue. Biden has a sustained history of racist remarks you have no interest in admitting even exist. I can at least take Mello seriously since he doesn’t full on gulp the kool-aid like a greedy sub.insinceredawg said:
