Michelle in the same speech said that Trump isn't qualified for the job of president because that's a black job now.

I am actually outraged at the way she racializes everything.

And this happens the same day Obama has a very moderate and reasonable message, that doesn't spare criticism to Trump, but does so in a dignified manner, so it's not like she had to do this

Nothing in her speech was bad. Reality is if she was the candidate She would win a landslide


It's fine to make a witty retort but you still need to consider the meaning behind what you're actually saying.
I guess it doesn't matter to people who constantly take things out of context and make up whatever meaning they want regardless of what is said.


*Trump talks about how our country is being taking advantage of and that it will get worse* (it will)

HES TRYING TO INCITE A CIVIL WAR!

Ah, so the context of all Trump's previous rhetoric and actions doesn't matter in this specific case. Gotcha. Man, why is everyone giving the guy a hard time, he just wants America to be great. They must hate America.

You are just such a disingenuous hack dude. She said that as a response to talking about how illegal immigrants are taking “black jobs”.

Michelle Obama’s speech wasn’t that great for me because she has no policy expertise and it clearly shows, just like Doug’s speech, but that’s such a disingenuous attack dude.

Illegal immigrants and in general unskilled immigrants DO take uneducated native jobs, it's uncontroversial in literature. They take them and/or decrease the wages in those sectors that can use a lot of that kind of labour.

It's true for all ethnicities but more often for blacks because they are less educated on average. And that's a way to try to tell black people that deportion of illegals help them. And it's actually true, it's people with different jobs that lose out if mass deportations happen, not uneducated blacks.

A response can be to educate blacks more, or to create conditions for so many jobs to exist that it doesn't matter if immigrants take a portion of them and so on. Her response was "let's try to stir racial animous even more". And coming from a person who unapologetically defended BLM riots, it's not nice. Let me remember that she invented the "mostly peaceful" insanity to describe the riots.

You're actually enlightening me right now, and i think if I were to enlighten you, it would just be way too much enlightenment going on.

Maybe some other time.

We don't have much data but, presumably, shouldn't Harris father come from decent money just because he was able to study in London and then at Berkley being Jamaican? how does a 20 y old Jamaican in 1958 manage to get to study in London without very significant for the time (ie top5% at the very least in Jamaica) family money? maybe there were free programs or something i am not aware about

There's an incredible free program called "being a teaching/research assistant" that many 20-something grad students avail themselves of.

Do you think everyone with a Ph.D. came from inherited wealth? Why the skepticism?

Glad I could help illuminate your world. Seems like a dark, dank place.


That's what closed cans are like.


You have some of the worst all time takes in basically every thread in this forum, but claiming that smoking doesn’t cause massive public health problems has to be top (bottom?) five.

I took a train this summer in italy and every stop i went to the little stairs to vape and that was it. People working on the train did the same, as well as others on the train (to vape or smoke).

Once in the 6 occasion a karen told me to actually step out, staying on the stairs while puffing toward the exterior wasn't enough. That was the extent of the rule enforcement. Ofc the next time karen wasn't there and i was back on the stairs (too

How do you interpret what she said?

A LOT of people get jobs in college. Most people that experience true adversity at a young age don't make it to college at all.

What are you even talking about? There are tons of grants available to get into college. It's been a mainstay of the Democratic platform for years.

Grants rarely cover room and board and life expenses in full

Money isn't the only problem a lot of poor people face. It's amusing to me how the privileged ones show themselves.

Well the protesters are out in Chicago chanting Killer Kamala
Part of me hope it’s ugly but that would be wrong

How are those protests working out?

They are handling them very well. Imagine if they were this organized on Jan 6th


It's a lot easier to keep tabs on a couple dozen loonies.

1. you're getting mad at jokes now?
2. you're mad at michelle obama racializing everything ..... in defense of donald trump? lmao


Serious question because I don't know the data on this... but how many Republicans come from a community organizer background? Or from public service job of any kind outside military enlistment?

It seems like this should be an important point for Rural American Republicans, no? How will people represent you properly, if they come from inherited wealth, Ivy League educations, or groomed think tanks?
