What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

I have no idea where this ACW hijack is coming from.

When Languish finally does it will be the subject of the last post.

La Presse in Georgia: the poison of racism

At noon, Ashley Paulk, 3rd of the name, comes eating in the shadow of an historical park great trees.  The engineer ends a meal from Chick-fil-A.

"Racism, it's a poison, and it dilutes slowly, from each generation", he says.

It flows into a stream, a river, in the Satilla river who enters very slowly into the ocean...
"It's still there, even if more diluted.  My grand father was clearly racist.  He still used the N-word.  He lived the 20s, 30s, there were people born as slaves, it was still segregation.  It was the time of lynchings.  My dad wasn't like that, but he had prejudices.  In my school, it was 50-50 Whites&Blacks.  And, yes, I am a priviledged White.  Of course I believe in this, the white priviledge.  My dad was a business man, he bought me care, he sent us to college.  What are your chances if you're an Afro-American?  Yes, some have the means, but they are in minority.  That's the White priviledge.  And the racism in the system, it's there, everywhere.

"This monument, why do you think they built it?  It's a warning to Blacks.  To Northerners.  This is how things are done here, this is the message.  And in Augusta, it's the northern face of the monument who talks of a a "white country".  Why do you think? My university's hall, Clemson, honors a white supremacist.  I agree: we must remove all that.  It's the minimum.  But we haven't solved anything once we've done that.

He explains he is Christian and all his philosophy is impregnated from the idea that we are all imperfect, sinners.  He's a member of a private school board that recruits 90% of afro-american students, with grants, etc.
Trump?  He is, according to him, an hypocrit who says horrible things.  "When I saw him with the Bible in front of the Washington church, I told myself: "What an idiot!"

But.. he believes in a system with low taxes.  He is against the right to abortion.

"Whom will you vote for?"

- I don't have any choice: I will vote for him"

Religion and politics.  Great mix.

I still doubt the Democrats are going to make sensible gains in the Congress, let alone win the presidency.  The polls are good now, but the election is 6 months away.  Lots can happen between now and then.

Your hatred of Trump is weird, because his policies are pretty much the same as the ones you promote.  Nationalism.

He's all for freedom of religion, like you.  You should join his next parade, you'd fit right in.

No, he isn't.

[Razgovory]

Just because the Confederates were trying to build and expand a slave society does not mean that all separatists want to do that.

Glad you finally admit being a nationalist is no especially evil.  Raz still seems to think that way though.

Huh?

Once again, we must pity the Onion.

So the stories are starting to come out of the Bolton book and they are bad

I still feel these may have been useful, if less profitable, during the impeachment hearings

He also describes a summer 2019 meeting in New Jersey where Trump says journalists should be jailed so they have to divulge their sources: "These people should be executed. They are scumbags," Trump said, according to Bolton's account.

Trump said invading Venezuela would be "cool" and that the South American nation was "really part of the United States."

My favourite so far:



Least favourite - him encouraging Xi to build camps in Xinjiang:

NEW Bolton book excerpt in WSJ: In June 2019, Xi "explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. ... Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do."

I don't really trust Mustache Man but these are stories are so outlandishly stupid and unbelievable that they just feel true to Donald.

I ordered the book. How could I not?

That is always a problem with these insane regimes. Every insider story is a Trumpist talking, so truckloads of salt are a necessity.

No, he isn't.

Of course he is.  He's fighting the good fights, promoting discrimination based on religious values just like you always defend

So you're just making shit up now?  Or are you really this stupid.   I have never promoted discrimination.  Can you say the same?
