Trump tells African-Americans....oh you just have to read it

"My message is that we have a great country, we have the greatest country on Earth. We have a heritage, we have a history and we should learn from the history, and if you don’t understand your history, you will go back to it again. You will go right back to it. You have to learn. Think of it, you take away that whole era and you’re going to go back to it sometime. People won’t know about it. They’re going to forget about it. It’s okay.

Now what I do like, I like the idea of building new statues to people, to great people. People that have done something. And I think that’s okay.

But you don’t want to take away our heritage and history and the beauty, in many cases, the beauty, the artistic beauty. Some of the sculptures and some of this work is some of the great — you can go to France, you can go anywhere in the world and you will never see more magnificent work. And that’s a factor. It’s not the biggest factor but it’s a factor."

A good read: How trump dislikes losers except for Confederate generals

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/23/funny-how-trumps-dislike-losers-doesnt-extend-confederate-generals/


*SNIP*

Those who contributed a great deal to the development of our country deserve to be recognized, however flawed they were as human beings.

The Founding Fathers easily pass the test. Jefferson, Washington and other Founders were slaveholders, but they also produced a Declaration of Independence that declared “all men are created equal.” The Constitution did not make good on that promise for far too long, but eventually it was amended and laws were passed to extend the blessings of liberty to all Americans.

*SNIP*

That Trump has adopted the history of the Confederacy as his own makes obvious his real agenda. This isn’t about “preserving” or “remembering” history; we can keep alive the history of the Civil War without paying tribute to the losing side. If Trump truly wanted to honor our past, his Treasury Department would have replaced Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman.

This is about preserving white supremacy. Monuments to the “Lost Cause” were expressly erected to maintain support for segregation. As a towering Confederate monument in Augusta, Ga., puts it: “No nation rose so white and fair / none fell so pure of crime.” Communities that maintain such monuments are implicitly endorsing their white-power message.

When we celebrate Confederates, we do so because of their racism. By contrast, when we celebrate other great Americans, from Jefferson to Theodore Roosevelt, we do so despite their racism. That’s a crucial distinction that should not be lost in the heat of the moment.

Really? He's off getting highlights In the MIDDLE of a pandemic? And did I also hear he may have been outed as the mysterious "Lady G" by a porn star who claims he hosted a number of sex parties?

ALL THIS ON A SCHOOL NIGHT?

Question for the constitutional lawyers..

Is there any way to fight trump's Executive Order? Is there a chance the first amendment is really hangng in the balance?

If TMZ is to be believed, he gave in and wore a mask.

Sorry for the crapfest tabloid source, but apparently they got the scoop first.

Has anyone noticed that when trump stands, he looks as if he's sliding forward at the waist?

Baby trump is confronted with Corona Virus lies

May 19, 2020

His body language and choice of words give it away

If you watch closely, you can see he's truly making this crap up as he goes along about taking the drug. Notice how he tacks on his admission to the hyperbolic statement, "The front line workers, many, many are taking it." Watch his face when he then says, "I happen to be taking it. I happen to be taking it." He makes this claim only to reinforce the other lie about all the front line workers. It might not have occurred to him that the press would keep on about it because he really doesn't care. He even says it twice, like "Yeah, that's the ticket. The front liners take it, and I'm taking it, too." Then he trails off, " (I'm on it) Right now....a couple of weeks ago..... " He gestures with his hands to emphasize. And his reasoning? "Because I've heard really good stories."

Vague and obtuse. I'll bet it sent his minions into a tizzy. Not like it's a surprise, but I've seldom seen it this obvious.

Uhm er, uh......

Now I might be wrong, but even if it works, aren't you supposed to take hydroxychloroquine only when you ACTUALLY HAVE THE VIRUS?

Obamagreat!

Screw Donnie's temper tantrums about non existent scandals. That was an excellent commencement address.
