Quote

But it was the hustler-cum-gangster vibe of Trump, particularly with his ostentatious displays of wealth, that endeared him to many in the rap community.

Is this a typo??

My hope is, and it seems to maybe have been the case since 2016, that in reality most people really just don't pay attention until about a month before elections.  Then they look up and go, "oh, that orange asshole is running again?  Well, not gonna vote for him.  Who's the other guy?  Oh, yeah ok I guess."  And then they move on, unaware of how important this shit is, yet still making the right choice.

I can hope anyway.

To put it all in perspective, George Floyd was murdered THIS WEEK in 2020. A shit ton can and will happen between now and November.

Trump about to get a bump in the polls. “He talks just like we do!”

Isn't this the 2nd or 3rd time it's been reported that he's used that word?  I thought it was just assumed at this point.

[atomheartbevo 90685]

Would have been nice if this came out in 2016.  Saved this country a lot of trouble, and probably saved lives during COVID,

OMG — I’m so glad this story is finally coming out! I was told about the existence of this tape back in 2016 by someone who had a high-level position working on The Apprentice. He told me that a number of people on the set overheard Trump say this, and there was a tape to prove it.

However, the person was afraid to come forward since he was concerned that he’d be blackballed by Mark Burnett and never work in the industry again (as I recall, there was also an NDA).

I brought this story — with all the names and details — to CNN, but they understandably were hesitant to run the piece unless at least one witness was willing to appear on camera and confirm the facts.

Unfortunately, the person I spoke with who overheard Trump use the N-word — as well as the C-word, by the way — was unwilling in the end to risk his career since he had a family to support. Anyway, I’m just super happy that this story is coming out now.

Sounds like somebody got a copy of the tape and is looking for a payday.

"Trump was a Democrat then."

[aggie08 21853]

This probably would have mattered in 2016. But 8 years of Trump voters being programmed to believe it's "us versus them [insert trans/Soros/globalist/leftist bogeyman of choice here]" and I'm not sure anything matters anymore.

Dotard has more baggage than American Airlines. A farm animal should be able to beat him. If any Democrat can't then there's something wrong with the Democratic party.

There is something wrong with the Dem party. They are lazy complacent and are losing their base, Biden sucks, sure he's a better alternative to Cheeto but he's not energizing anyone, I'll vote for him but not because I believe he's a good candidate, he just better then alternative.
Sad state of affairs in this country

Biden has been a good President, but a poor politician.

“Everyone say ‘Not guilty’”

[Sawbonz 28252]

If there is a tape what is a plausible reason it is just now coming to light? 
 

Also anyone voting for him is doing so with knowledge of what a complete pos he is. This won’t change a significant percentage of those people's minds

Fortunately, it doesn't need to change a "significant percentage". Just a few thousand votes here and there could easily swing an election like this.

Fox News is salivating.

Kid Rock then uses the n-word about 20 times.

It's the Latin word for "with" as in "summa cum laude" which means "with highest praise/honors." It's like when people use "sans" instead of "without." 

[Smax 3800]

Biden has been a good President, but a poor politician. 

I'm not sure I agree with this. He's certainly not a bad president, but good is pushing it, IMO. He's a placeholder trying not to rock this sinking ship any more then it already is.

[Biff Tannen 46207]

Oh good, let's have this argument again.

[Bozo_Casanova 26911]

Of course, if there is a tape, the verdict will overshadow that news and will thus ultimately benefit Trump either way.

The thing that is wrong with the Democratic Party is its fealty to capitalism.

His actions revitalizing NATO, and galvanizing it and our other allies allies against Russia in Ukraine are some of the most important actions a President has taken in decades. His support for critical industrial investment in strategic areas like chip manufacturing will have enormous long term (positive) consequences for our economy and security. By any objective measure, his performance as President has been excellent. Blaming Biden for global economic and political havoc is short sighted and wrong. His primary flaw has been his failure to connect with the American people and communicate his message and accomplishments. He has done good work as President, but poor work with his marketing. Unfortunately, his opponent is someone who is a master of self promotion.

Yes. If Democrats want to win they should redouble their focus on educating working people in critical socialist theory.

Yes, it would require them to cover it. 

They don't want to cover it.  It's boring.  Biden doesn't get eyeballs.   We don't have news anymore.  It's infotainment.  Money and viewership >>>> news and information

Exactly he needs to talk about stuff that isn't policy and is just random shit an 80 year old in charge of the most powerful country on earth would talk about. You know, his favorite ice cream and all the funny Instagram reels he saw that day.

So basically do Beard’s fireside chats about except he’s drunk on Jack and cokes and doing it live from a WaWa in Pittsburgh

 

 

 

(which to be honest, Beard probably did that during his time here and we just don’t know about it.

They never regulated “capitalism.” They regulated “industry” and certain “markets” to reduce “externalities” like “pollution”, fight “corruption” and promote “competition.”

With the exception of trustafarian grad students and tankies, nobody wants to hear any bullshit about capitalism right now. It just doesn’t win, and winning is the prerequisite of doing anything. Winning is praxis.

I know they can’t stay in that mode all the time, or it would lose all meaning, but “the most ignorant person to ever run for president” is a nice touch.

The amount of people warped by the media in this country is astonishing. 

 

Expanded fucking NATO (This alone puts him All-Time, fuck)

Infrastructure Bill

CHIPS Act

Capped Insulin at $35/month

Highest Appointment of Federal Judges since Reagan

Lowest unemployment streak in 50 years 

Marriage Equality Law

Reclassifying Marijuana

Student Debt Relief

Inflation down from 8% to below 3%

 

This list is not complete but it blows many Presidents out of the water. 

The only reason people are not "feeling it" because Outrage Media is 24/7 and housing is expensive thanks to lack of supply.

Those are old paradigm standards of success. Apparently the new standards are things other than actually doing the job. 
I’m traveling back from a vacation where for the first seven days I did not encounter another American. The last three days were in a place crawling with them. Really brought it home that a lot of Americans are entitled, snowflake assholes.
