Racism?

Posted By Mel Maki

How many Never Trumpers would stay true to their name and choose Weld over Trump?  Much less than half? Some Never Trumpers argued he would have a liberal record. His mid term election was better than Clinton or Obama. A high percentage of the party will support him.  Even with more than 80% of the media against him it can be argued the Never Trumpers FAILED.

It was a coincidence that Obama was president when this was removed. He knew it was wrong. He was quite upset this question was removed and even begged that it be retained! But there was just nothing he could do.

Beto

Anybody that thinks Beto might not make it is wrong. All the arrangements have been made. Beto is the next JFK.

Racism?

Jim,
The crazy, anti-semitic things about Israel, comparing border guards to concentration camp guards, acting like Pelosi and Biden are racists, and the press mostly sweeping it under the rug saying it starts a dialog. And this after our country rescued her from a Hell hole refugee camp. Trump tells them to take a hike and its racism to the level of Watergate. 
Like Biden says, COME ON!!

Politically, it would be to the Republicans advantage to donate millions to the goofy women that say this crazy stuff.

James,

You are sure Trump would not have said that if they were white?

That is funny.
And almost every news station is on their toes, leaning forward, waiting for a chance to say Trump is bad.
They were able to hold back when Pelosi was accused. But Trump?
It's crazy.
They couldn't say Trump was racist fast enough.
Trump would have told the progressive four to take a hike if they were the whitest people in Sweden. It did not matter. Look how he jumped on the UK Ambassador.
Interesting how many hundreds of times CNN is sputtering "racist" like a machine gun.

I think Trump has shown he will talk like that to anybody.

Besides, the language that Trump used is specifically spelled out in Federal Law as enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as discrimination and is illegal.

Examples of potentially unlawful conduct include insults, taunting, or ethnic epithets, such as making fun of a person’s foreign accent or comments like, "Go back to where you came from." 

I can tell you this for sure, if anyone where I work said this to a person of color they would be fired.
James,
I think you are way wrong on this. There are pages of names of white people he has gone off on, including the UK Ambassador. And the way the four have talked about him? How in the world can you think he would have let them slide on this? And these four are still going off on Pelosi!

The Russian Government?

Posted By Mel Maki

The people that have been cynical of reports of Russian Government involvement got some support from a judge May 28. He asked DOJ for some evidence the Russian Government was behind the troll farm activity Mueller's Report outlined. DOJ could not provide any.

Now, looking at reality:
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/study-russia-cybersecurity-twitter-1353543
Today, another bipartisan bill to provide greater election security was stopped by a single Republican who couldn't come up with a reason for doing so. The other Republican who previously blocked it is Mitch McConnell who says it's up to the states to secure their own elections, federal or otherwise. As if the state of Louisiana has the wherewithal to stand up to the hacking efforts of the Russian government. Yeah, riight...
Your link adds more doubt to the Dem theory that the Russian Gov was doing this to help Trump beat Clinton.
