When your enemies

The publisher put out that press release, not President Obama.

Why does a faulty press release that Breitbart found and published in 2012 retroactively apply to a President who was elected in 2008?

Because he's black. That's why it applies to him, which is why the racists that pushed that nonsense were so adamant about it.
 

"Public Security" forces are the ones in charge; we've delegated the responsibility of managing crisis' to them. Perhaps laws do need to be changed, but right now our police forces are in charge of a very delicate situation that was precipitated by one of their own who broke the law discharging his duty. Changing horses mid-stream is always a recipe for failure. By all accounts it's a relatively few bad actors amongst, generally, peaceful demonstrators causing the mayhem. Yesterday our ConManduh n cheat had, by all accounts, peaceful demonstrators tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets so he could have a photo op; which on exacerbated the situation.

The police are, wisely, doing everything they can to handle this situation with kid gloves. We need to let them do what they think is prudent until this blows over and THEN address how these situations are handled in the future. Chief amongst the changes needed will be new regulations on our police forces on how they deal with the public they serve to avoid rouge officers murdering innocent citizens.
 

That (bolded above) is not going to please those who are seeing their businesses being looted and then burned to the ground as police wait for things to "blow over"". This "thing blowing over" is not going to undo the complete loss of business establishments (and related jobs) deemed to be acceptable collateral damage by our police union personnel.
 

Some PD's are handling the situation with kid gloves.

Others are using tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protestors and doing nothing but radicalizing them.
 

So your solution is to kill more AmeriCANs?

By credible accounts, it was the Clinton campaign who started the birther stuff.
This seems entirely plausible given the “win at all costs” mindset of the Clintons.
Most likely- some flak from their campaign saw that blurb and ran with it .

Trump- who also has a ‘no-holds barred ‘ approach to campaigning, ran with it.

Of course- if you're willing (desperate? ) to find racism in every nook and cranny ,you'll find it.

Remember, if everybody's racist, then nobody's racist.

Normal people have long ago stopped paying attention to pandering white liberals calling them racists.

Could you please post your address so these 'protestors' can go burn your house down?
after all that would make as much sense as them burning these businesses to the ground,

And it would be justified- you know, because of white oppression and all.

It seems that you view the police as being incapable of stopping (arresting) looting and/or arson "suspects" without killing them. If our police are that inept then why have them at all? Having the police establish and defend a few select "no looting and/or arson zones" and letting businesses (and people) outside of those "special" areas fend for themselves (as thugs run wild?) is insane.
 
Or stay away from retarded conservative Trump ass kissers.
 

I didn't ask who started it. Nor did I accuse anyone of racism.

I am asking why this became a standard for a President too show a Birth Certificate right when Obama was running in 2008 (he did produce one before he got the nomination btw) when it didn't exist for the Modern Presidents before him?

Speaking of Obama's secret Kenyan birth certificate, where is it? Trump promised to show it to all of us years ago. His drooling supporters believed him too. How come they aren't demanding that we see it? Surely Trump didn't lie, did he?
 
But not surprising. They support Trump because they hate this country and they want us to look like an alt-right version of North Korea.

I feel that people who disagree with my politics as wrong but not my enemy.

Strange choice of words.

He did send quite a few people to Hawaii and they were finding things you couldn't believe.

Or so I have been told.
 
So stay out of almost all of the major cities and economic hubs in the US. Got it. We could just secede and take 3/4s of the economy with us and buy resources and food from south America. I think that is fitting for the ungrateful and entitled hob goblins of the tyrannical "silent minority".

Name the largest city that is not democrat run. I think its Indianapolis because the GOP were able to trick and grow the size of the incorporated city to include a bunch of very wealthy Republican communities taking control of the whole city. There are reasons though that big cities are almost all democrat. High density areas require inclusive policies that even attempt to solve the consequential problems. Conservative policies dont do that or govern large high density populations well at all. The large cities also tend to be economic centers of the country. You cant ignore that in your partisan whining.

Strange? No. It's a sick choice of words. Now Democrats are "the enemy" to Trump supporters.

Does he want them executed? Put in gulags? Thrown in jail? That's what we do to our enemies.

I just explained why.
Clinton and Trump wanted to win.

Why is that so hard to figure out?

Donald Trump was not running against Barack Obama. So what was the point of him going down this particular rabbit hole for years?

2011

Following a successful Conservative Political Action Conference appearance where Trump announced he is considering a run for the presidency, he begins appearing on talk shows urging President Obama to release his birth certificate and questioning if he was born in the United States.

"I want him to show his birth certificate. There is something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like," he said in an appearance on ABC's "The View." On "Fox & Friends," Trump insisted Obama spent "millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue," and floated the idea on Bill O'Reilly's show that the certificate could say the president is a Muslim.

Put in gulags? Thrown in jail? That's what we do to our enemies.

Executed? Hmmm to extreme.
Gulags??? Prisons???

Yessssssss
Imagine how much better off we'd be without Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Omar, Warren ,Sanders, HArris, O'rourke Schiff, NAdler ( I know I'm leaving some off----sorry)
 
No worries, your "enemies" probably prefer that you stay out of their cites anyway.

As it is, 85% of our nation lives in 15% of our country. Indeed, many of those people pay a premium to live, quite literally, stacked on top of each other. I like the way it is. Whatever you 85% want to do with your 15% is none of our concern as long as your ideas and beliefs don't metastasize into our 85% of the country.

Nobody wants to know about your fantasies of doing harm to your listed enemies.

Pandering to his ignorant racist base. What else?

He's going to erase the legacy of the black man so that his supporters never have to be troubled again about a black man being President once.
 
It seems that you view the police as being incapable of stopping (arresting) looting and/or arson "suspects" without killing them.

I was responding to your post #7 where YOU said:
Perhaps state law should be changed to allow use of deadly force to stop those rioting,

No, "I" don't think more violence is called for, actually my posts are calling for restraint, but apparently you and pResident Me-Me-Me, the phony tough, want our police "beating the hell out of em".

If our police are that inept then why have them at all?

I personally will vouch that the vast majority of "our police" are anything BUT inept and do a heck of job day in day out, every day putting their lives on the line every time they go to work and off duty. One bad apple precipitated this tragedy, now an abundance of caution and compassion is what will end it.

Having the police establish and defend a few select "no looting and/or arson zones" and letting businesses (and people) outside of those "special" areas fend for themselves (as thugs run wild?) is insane.

Yes that would be insane, but that's not what's happening. Our police are stretched thin and over worked and yet they are keeping the loss of life and property to a minimum. I applaud their vigilance and restraint in a very explosive situation. Most of the protesters are peaceful citizens doing their civic duty to call attention to a long running social injustice highlighted by George Floyd's murder. The violence is being perpetrated by opportunists and professional agitators but more violence by our police will only make matters worse and prolong this tradgedy.
 
By credible accounts, it was the Clinton campaign who started the birther stuff.
Which "credible accounts"? What the heck do you know about "credible"? You are completely lacking in credibility, yourself.

This is a LIE, of course. In FACT, virtually EVERY credible fact-check source has documented that Clinton neither started, nor promoted, the Birther stuff.

--Did Clinton Supporters Start the 'Birther' Movement?

--No, Clinton didn't start the birther thing. This guy did.

"In fact, birtherism, as it’s been called, reportedly began with innuendo by serial Illinois political candidate Andy Martin (R), who painted Obama as a closet Muslim in 2004. That spiraled into a concerted effort by conspiracy theorists to raise doubts about Obama’s birthplace and religion — and essentially paint him as un-American."


--PolitiFact | Fact-checking Donald Trump's claim Hillary Clinton started Obama birther movement
"Trump said, "Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy." There is no evidence to support this.

We rate Trump’s claim False."


--Snopes: Did Clinton Supporters Start the Birther Movement?

"FALSE"


Remember, if everybody's racist, then nobody's racist.
Ignorant rhetoric that comes STRAIGHT out of the White Nationalist/"Boogaloo" playbook. People who oppose white supremacy/white nationalist are just the opposite side of the "racism" coin. Therefore, "both sides" are to blame.

Standard false equivalence.

Pure garbage that comes ONLY from white nationalists and closeted bigots.


Normal people have long ago stopped paying attention to pandering white liberals calling them racists.

:lamo

"Normal people", huh?

What you meant was "White Nationalists". That's "normal people", in your world.

But hey, it's still a "free" country (at least, for the moment, as Trump and his acolytes are working feverishly to effectively change that before the November election). So you're certainly entitled to your views, even if they are delusional, ignorant and repugnant to most decent Americans.
