New Project Veritas video, this time about ballot harvesting in Ilhan Omar’s district. Rigged elections.

30+ investigations, an impeachment, the most scrutinized man in modern history. And this is all we’ve found? At what point does this become political persecution?

We’ve learned he has great accountants.

We’ve also learned that they couldn’t drum up any evidence of ties to Russia or paying off stormy Daniels.

Nothing-burger so far, though they promise more stories.

So better to not point out that there are white victims too? Is even mentioning that some kind of dog whistle?

Just as someone even referring to colorblindness is a racist? Yes, some racist can use the phrases. But what is wrong in trying to judge people as individuals and never judge as groups of people by race, nationality etc?

I think the only thing wrong is that the very notion of justice threatens their collectivist project, that “treating equals equally and unequals unequally” renders guilt and innocence by association completely useless. That groups are composed of individuals makes collectivism founded on a base of shifting sands.

Good to see the GOP spending their time upon what's most important right now...

Nevermind eliminating and/or at least easing all of the economic, emotional, and physical injury to everyday Americans as a result of the pandemic, which was not at all a result of anything that the average citizen has done, but is most certainly the result of government.

That is certainly true of government. Except it is state, local and tribal governments that set their own health policies. The federal government is limited in its ability to mandate a centralized action plan by design. So if we are to blame governments and politicians, let’s be sure we blame the correct ones.

Amy coney Barrett has been confirmed as the SCOTUS nominee.

Well that certainly proves you read right-wing trash. Not that there was doubt.

My mistake. The university cites the killing of George Floyd in the same statement regarding the renaming to George square. I made a false connection.

Well, I'm a Finn, so I shouldn't care either.

Unfortunately Europeans will start mimicking the trends from the US, the good ones and the bad ones, because I guess there isn't anything else to do. What I'm worried that your shit show of politics will come to be my shit show of politics later.

Cultural imperialism. While they openly hate America and incite anti-Americanism they gobble its most ridiculous ideologies. The read that a university in Scotland renamed the David Hume building to George Floyd.

Like I said, I disagree with all of your spin. I don’t think any of it is true, just like your statement that Trump has never said anything about the plight of “African Americans”, where you had to keep pushing the mental goalposts to make room for your ignorance.

As for some more news:

President Trump’s plan for Black America designates the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations and calls for making lynching a national hate crime, while pledging to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $500 billion, Fox News has learned

Trump $500B Black America plan designates KKK, Antifa as 'terrorist organizations'

“Both wear masks and both burn black businesses”. So good.

I think it’s safe to say that if right-wing mobs were parading through cities looting and burning we’d have a national discussion on the topic. Until then...

Leaked memos reveal a murder victim was found in the trunk of Breona Taylor’s rental car back in 2016. I suspect some cops leaked it to discredit the victim. How does this factor into the narrative, if at all? Will they say his name?

Trump's actual language regarding the movement for racial justice reform in the United States is chock full of statements, none of which offer support, or even acknowledge that there is a problem with racial injustice and/or systemic racism in America. There has never been a single statement out of Trump's mouth that honors the movement, honors the plight of black Americans, and/or acknowledges the injury black Americans have sustained throughout American history at the hands of racist beliefs and practices.

Not one!

“Despite suffering the horrors of slavery and all that flowed from this inexcusable and cruel act against humanity, African Americans have been instrumental in building and bolstering our great Nation.

From enrichening our culture and enhancing our American identity to strengthening our economy and safeguarding our cherished freedoms, the remarkable courage and steadfast resolve of African Americans define the American spirit.”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-154th-anniversary-ratification-13th-amendment/

“ And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-trump/

“ National African American History Month is an occasion to rediscover the enduring stories of African Americans and the gifts of freedom, purpose, and opportunity they have bestowed on future generations. It is also a time to commemorate the countless contributions of African Americans, many of whom lived through and surmounted the scourge of segregation, racial prejudice, and discrimination to enrich every fiber of American life. Their examples of heroism, patriotism, and enterprise have given people of all backgrounds confidence, courage, and faith to pursue their own dreams.”

Assuming what you say here is true(that's probably a stretch, but for the sake of argument), sure those are the actions of a racist president. A racist president today cannot publicly admit it(yet), but will instead claim to support the black community in their fight for racial justice reform in public spaces while simultaneously doing all of the things I mentioned above. Which leads us back to that...

I offered nine different paragraphs setting out Trump's behaviour and the only reasonable conclusion drawn from what he has actually done. You neglected to directly address any of them, in lieu of proposing a defense for three charges that I did not make. Which paragraph, if any, are you claiming is not true?

Your spin is not true, or at least born of fantasy. You could name a single racist policy, racist belief, act of racial discrimination, and we could examine whether that is true. I’ll let you cherry pick all you want.

You put a lot of effort into your post, but none of it proves to me Trump holds racist beliefs or racially discriminated against others. Worse, it suppresses the evidence in favor of the smear.

No policy of Trump’s discriminates against one race or another. In fact, his policies, his proclamations, his speeches are explicitly pro-“African American”. Simply search for the phrase “African American” in his speeches, proclamations, policy announcements, and it’s nothing but praise and support. One can do the same with the term “racism” and find nothing but anti-racist sentiment. Exactly zero of his rhetoric expresses anti-black sentiment.

There is no evidence Trump has ever equated criminals, rioters, agitators and anarchists with black people. These criminals are of many races. It is in fact yourself who makes that connection, pretending that when Trump criticizes violent activity, looting and rioting, he is speaking about a race of people.

He has condemned white supremacist groups.

He has defended all statues, including the statues of the first African American regiment, abolitionists, and Frederick Douglass. He wants MLK, Harriot Tubman, Booker T Washington, Frederick Douglass, Jackie Robinson in his “heroes park”.

He won the Bipartisan Justice Award for justice reform.

His support and funding for HBCUs is more than the last administration could muster.

He has had many roundtables with “black leaders” and black supporters.

These are the actions of a racist president? Or have we left reality?

Face it, the life of a black person is not esteemed in the same way that the life of a white person is. The ideology of equity is not upheld.

Perhaps you can name a victim from another race that produced riots and state funerals and massive corporate advertising campaigns. I can watch a video of a caucasian kid dying in nearly the exact same way as George Floyd. No riots, no international outcry, no renaming of buildings named after David Hume to his name, no protests.

I accept the evidence, just not your conclusions. I do not think we can deduce racism as a cause of death from the mere fact of the skin-colors of those involved, especially with the myriad other important situational factors of any police interaction. This reeks to me of correspondence bias. I need more than that.

I am as interested in police shooting disparities between races as I am between men and women, young and old, fat and thin, which is to say not very much. I say this because each police shooting has its own context, actors, environments, history. No amount of faulty generalization can be rid of them.




I think one can make reasonable assumptions about another’s beliefs. I just don’t think you’ve made any reasonable assumptions. Since you claim to know, and based on your pattern-reading, can you paraphrase a single racist belief or principle he holds?

You'll have to do better than that.

No need to read Trump's mind, nor the mind of anyone who has operative racist beliefs governing their actions and words.

Of course there is no need to read Trump’s mind. No one can read a mind. All you have is imagination and fantasy.

Please. Support your claims here.

I cannot be bothered to correct such an absurd claim that excessive force cases are not investigated.

That is a commonly held false belief. Evidence of an individual's thoughts are patterns of their behaviour. Habits of thought directly influence how one acts during certain situations. Look no further than your child mind king of the playground. His racist belief system is put on clear display anytime and every time we look at a timeline of his own behaviour regarding racially relevant events.

With regard to whether or not individual police and law enforcement officers are acting based upon the color of one's skin, we need look no further than the patterns of police behaviour towards blacks, and actually policies and practices of departments across the land.

They most certainly do.

Another mind reader. You might as well be reading from tea leaves. Your assumptions are just that, assumptions, and worse born of your own fantasies and projections.

Yes, your position is that trained professionals are actually baby brained individuals that require such immense coddling that we should consider it acceptable if they unload on a civilian if they are resisting arrest, regardless of how that manifests itself, and regardless of their mental state and capacity. Hope you don't startle a cop yourself!

That’s not my position.

I wager that even you are lucid enough to comply with the LEOs for fear of what may come if you do not. Either way, the use of excessive force is routinely investigated and punished.

Senate GOP have released their findings in the Hunter Biden probe:

• In early 2015 former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, George Kent raised concerns to officials in Vice President Joe Biden’s office about the perception of a conflict of interest with respect to Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board. Kent’s concerns went unaddressed and in September 2016, he emphasized in an email to his colleagues, “Furthermore, the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board was very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.”
  
• In October 2015, senior State Department official Amos Hochstein raised concerns with Vice President Biden, as well as with Hunter Biden, that Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board enabled Russian disinformation efforts and risked undermining U.S. policy in Ukraine.
  
• Hunter Biden was serving on Burisma’s board (supposedly consulting on corporate governance and transparency) when Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly paid a $7 million bribe to officials serving under Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Vitaly Yarema, to “shut the case against Zlochevsky.” George Kent testified that this bribe occurred in December 2014 (seven months after Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board), and, after learning about it, he and the resident legal adviser reported this allegation to the FBI.
  
• In addition to the over four million dollars paid by Burisma to Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer, for membership on the board, Hunter, his family, and Archer received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds.
  
• Devon Archer received $142,300 from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan, purportedly for a car, the same day Vice President Joe Biden appeared with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsemy Yasenyuk and addressed Ukrainian legislators in Kyiv regarding Russia’s actions in Crimea.
  
• Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina. Ms. Baturina is the wife (widow) of the former mayor of Moscow.
  
• Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in questionable transactions.
  
• Hunter Biden opened a bank account with Gongwen Dong that financed a $100,000 global spending spree with James Biden and Sara Biden.
  
• Hunter Biden also moved millions of dollars from his law firm to James Biden’s and Sara Biden’s firm. Upon being questioned about the transaction, Sara Biden refused to provide supporting documentation and information to more clearly explain the activity. The bank subsequently closed the account.
  
• Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

Right. And remember, snacks at 11;00 and don't forget your meds.

In the absence of a confession, the only evidence you have of their thoughts is propaganda or projection. So which is it?

Police often have to make split-second, life and death decisions. If he feels his or anyone else’s life is in danger, you’re going to get shot. Resisting arrest, assaulting the officer, going for his gun, chasing him with a knife, shooting at him—all are ways to increase your chance of being shot by police. That’s why suicide by cop is a thing.

That’s not to say that excessive force isn’t real, but while the delusional are off pretending, without evidence, that race figures into these split-second decisions, there are real things they could be teaching to mitigate that risk. Complying with police is the most obvious.

There is a wide variety of reasons why an individual will resist arrest, starting with the situation when one perceives oneself to be innocent, and the arrest to be unjust. In no way does resisting arrest warrant being killed, irrespective of how stupid it may be.

It does warrant the use of deadly force or shooting when the officer believes his life or the lives of others is at risk. There are legal means to rectify unjust arrests, none of which involves putting the officer’s or your own life at risk.

What are you saying!!? Do you think resisting arrest is sufficient reason to be killed?

I am saying resisting arrest is wrong, illegal, dangerous and stupid. Had resisting arrest not occurred people would be alive today.

I think we’ll find disparities between any group—tall vs. Short, fat vs. thin, young vs. old—it’s why medical treatment needs to be tailored to the individual instead of to the arbitrary taxonomies we assign him to.

I haven't. I'm not sure what kind of evidence I would need.

That’s the problem. The mind-state of the doctor or cop cannot be used as evidence. So we cannot know that the doctor treated someone different based on skin color instead of other reasons.

My apologies. If consensus keep you sane and disagreement twists your panties, it’s pretty easy to self-curate the information you access these days.

They just kind of spontaneously believe it. I dont deal with cops much. Another figure of power is doctors, though. Ive seen doctors try harder to help white people than black ones, so I think I understand what's happening.

But do I really? I just collect perspectives.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Do you raise the issue with your superiors?

Just ban him jesus christ

All it does is leave me depressed that people like this exist

How do you survive outside the womb if an opposing opinion causes this much distress?

At least critical race theory is a real thing and not another pathetic ploy.

Pseudoscientific, race theories. What could go wrong?

Nothing left to lose. I'm sure you understand that from your days on the mean streets of Vancouver.

You fill American’s heads with fear and nonsense about being killed by police for their skin color, when they are clearly being killed for resisting arrest. It’s just untrue that people are being killed because they have certain skin colors. These lies are exacerbating the very problem you wish would end.

Because they think that they're about to die.

Resisting arrest increases the risk of all involved.

Don’t worry, Trumps new patriotic conditioning project will set the kid’s straight... or just garner a few more votes from people like you.

Better than critical race theory, witch attracts people such as yourself like flies to shit.

Yeah, resisting arrest turns out to be a bad idea 100% of the time. So why do people do it?

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Rather than teach people to comply with police, saving lives, they teach them to feel indignant and oppressed, putting lives at risk. It’s no wonder they reserve this sentiment for members of only one race.

I voted no because I think it would make living less interesting, pleasure less exciting, pain less informative, thus reducing waking life to a soma-induced dream. We might as well throw ourselves in a padded room while we’re at it.

I’m under no delusion that Trump could lose. If the polls are any indication (they aren’t), it’s not looking good. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised before.



The Benghazi attack, where terrorists and a violent mob of rioters killed Americans, and where cries for assistance were met with a hand wave. I wager they would still be alive had Trump been in charge.

Right, because a mob of murderous rioters is akin to a global pandemic. No more foolish comparison has been made, except for the similar one about 9/11.

And you'll probably say the same about the hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths I'm sure.

Over a million people die of tuberculosis each year with no peep from the usual suspects, probably because you cannot use it as a political football.
