Yes, they conserve the freedom of black people, gotta ration out that finite resource or else no one gets any! /s

I love how this dude refuses to acually run against Kamala. It not a black man, it’s not Obama, you’re running against doofus, it’s a Black Woman. And, unless you’re a police officer, that’s at least 10x scarier for you.

“I’m going to eat the sheep you don’t like”. Would be more spot on.

Reminds me of this racist poster by the local far right party (switzerland).

“Expel criminal foreigners. Achieve security.”

It was awkward and racist, but if you watch the video the crowd cheers as he instantly relates it to money. I'm tellin' ya, we're fucked if every Dem and Trump hater dont come out of the woodworks to put this guy in his place. His support is way more entrenched than Lemmy will have you believe. We have to descend upon the polls like the Golden Horde.

I was shocked to hear my next door neighbor last night tell me "be prepared if Kah-mala wins. They think January 6th was bad? That was a drunk frat party compared to what's coming. She never even got the nomination. I got my guns ready and I know people with more than that. If these democrats steal the election in November, you better be ready. There's going to be blood in the streets."

You reported him to the FBI, right?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 68 points 3 days ago (2 children)

In Texas? For what? Being too Texan?

It'd be more efficient to drive to the nearby FBI campus and insult someone's mother if I wanted to get harassed by a federal agency.

I wish I were joking and I wish I weren't so scared.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The F in FBI stands for Federal. They don't give a fuck what State they're in.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But the workers are still average Americans.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

There's nothing average about an FBI agent.

She never even got the nomination

Well, she did though. There was a whole convention for it. But of course facts don't poll well with that demographic.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

"They didn't even vote for her, they voted for the other guy in the primaries."

Me complaining about how fucked up two-party primaries are in the first place

"It's in the constitution! They claim this is a democra-..."

Me tuning out until his stupid words turned into violent words

compared to what's coming [...] got my guns ready [...] blood in the streets

Never ceases to amaze me how people boast about “what's coming” like they wouldn't be the first to turn into cannon fodder were something to actually happen

I can't do anything but watch across the pond and wonder how the US can survive whatever the fuck happens there.

It would be entertaining if it was a TV show.

While he is a racist POS, this quote is edited from what he really said. Here's the context and full clip on snopes:

While telling a story about Air Force One and the call sign for when a U.S. president is aboard the aircraft, Trump referenced its age and also former President Barack Obama, telling the BCF audience, "I love this great equipment. Although the plane's 32 years old, I ordered new ones, and I saved $1.7 billion from what Obama was willing to pay. I have to tell you, [he's a] Black president, but I got $1.7 billion less. Would you rather have the Black president or the white president who got $1.7 billion off the price? I think they want the white guy right now. Got $1.7 billion off the price."

That context doesn't change the meaning even slightly. If anything it makes it worse. He's talking about an issue which is not related to race in any way, but he injects race into it. It shows exactly how he sees every aspect of the world.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agreethat the full clip is just as damning. Which is why editing it to be misleading is unnecessary and counterproductive

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

It's not really misleading. It's the size of clip that fits.

theyve been in the high seats for too long. their cockiness is reaching a fever pitch. gonna take more than a simple bitch slap to teach them

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 30 points 3 days ago (3 children)

every time I hear the phrase 'quite part out loud' I'm reminded that despite everything he still has a chance.

anyone who thinks the quite part survived his presidency is a danger to themselves and their country.

the whole game plan has been sensory overload from day 1 of his presidency, pay attention idiots.
