Things change so quickly nowadays. Now, if you don't like Nike shoes, you're a racist.

I just saw a republican politician say, “The jig is up,” to Don Lemon on CNN. Isn’t that racist? I didn’t get the guy’s name but he should be headline news and tarred and feathered, should he not?

That would only be racist if it were directed at a black NASA astronaut, and that hasn't happened since 2009.

Somebody probably made that kind of statement back then. I think the media should launch an investigation.

Gee, the guy did everything but change his name to Ron DeTrumpiest...

When you've got your mouth hermetically sealed to his ass, Il Boobce won't accept for you to stop licking even for a single moment:
Trump rails on top Florida ally over Hurricane Maria flap

Republican Ron DeSantis accused of disloyalty for bucking the president.

President Donald Trump is privately lashing out at one of his top allies, Ron DeSantis, angrily accusing the Florida Republican gubernatorial nominee of publicly betraying him.

The president has told close associates in recent days that he views DeSantis — who won his Aug. 28 GOP primary thanks to Trump’s strong support — as profoundly disloyal for distancing himself from the president’s assertion that the Hurricane Maria death toll was inflated by Democrats for political purposes.

“Ron DeSantis is committed to standing with the Puerto Rican community, especially after such a tragic loss of life. He doesn’t believe any loss of life has been inflated,” the DeSantis campaign said last week after Trump tweeted that "3000 people did not die” in Puerto Rico.

Trump’s comments unnerved Republicans across Florida, which is home to a burgeoning Puerto Rican population, leading DeSantis and other Republicans — including Senate hopeful Rick Scott — to publicly break with the president’s remark.

DeSantis’s reaction, however, particularly piqued the president. Trump views the former congressman as politically indebted to him, people familiar with the president’s thinking say, because he believes DeSantis owes his electoral success to him.
The president has privately maintained that he was correct with his comments about the hurricane’s death toll, and has expressed frustration that DeSantis crossed him on the matter.

Trump’s anger toward DeSantis is rooted in the extraordinary level of political capital he expended on behalf of the former congressman, who was little-known at the time he began his campaign for governor.

The president — over the wishes of some advisers — endorsed DeSantis in the primary, flew down to the state to campaign with him and lavished him with praise on Twitter. DeSantis, in turn, tied himself closely to Trump, at one point even running a TV ad which featured his infant child wearing a MAGA outfit.

One person close to the president described the situation as a “divorce.” At the moment, Trump has no plans to travel to Florida to campaign for DeSantis in the November general election, according to two GOP officials familiar with the president’s schedule.

Republicans eating their own. Who woulda thought?

So Florida will see its first African-American governor, and the heads of the Trumpanzee base will collectively explode. It's all good, then.

“This is the magical Negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow negress Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia,” the message begins. “Years ago, the Jews who own the American media saw something in me — the ability to trick white women into thinking I was like them, and to do, read, and think what I told them to. Where others see a poor-man’s Aunt Jemima, I see someone white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones.”
Looks to me like this bunch of racists have pretty much wasted their money...

If you really want to influence people, you're going to have to be just a tad more subtle than that...


(Unless their actual objective wasn't to sway votes but just to get some publicity for their little hate group; in which case they appear to have succeeded...)

Impersonating someone for the purpose of satire is one thing; this is something far more sinister ... and I'm sure there is a law of some sort or another against it.  With all the money Oprah has, she should be able to find herself at least one good lawyer and sue these assholes for literally everything they've got.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

You'd have to be extremely dense to not see the racism in that. On the other hand, the victim police are people who have the ability to see hatefulness where it doesn't exist. They are needy people and crave sympathy. There are many of them who actually feel guilty for not actually being a victim. Those people want to let people - who they think should be offended - that they are offended on their behalf.

Yet another outrageous incendiary racist action obviously backed by racist hateful deplorables. The nerve of these people is unbelievable. I almost pooped my pants because of my strongly sympathetic victimhood-like feelings of white guilt....



And it has also happened in other places... the sign, that is - not my almost pooping....

Now that you have exposed me to the true meaning of the word BSG, I thinks you are being a Masshole on this.

For most of us, finding real maple syrup is harder than finding a real pork tenderloin sandwich in Boston.

WTF? It’s in the grocery store in the condiments aisle - usually not far from the cheap imitation crap. Pretty much everywhere in America. Or you could buy it online from this company called Amazon that sells and ships you nearly anything you could dream of.

You’re welcome.
