Never used a Pepe, that said a lot of people that do are Pro Trump and were anti-Hillary - does that make them all Neo Nazis? If a Black guy uses Pepe is he a Nazi? A Racist? Because they do not toe your line they are one or the other or both?

Mr irrelevant - should I really care what you post since you add nothing in 95% (lightweight) of your posts.

The funny thing is that you said you started posting here bc you couldn't take all the Trump bashing. An emotional snowflake.

Texas Rep. Will Hurd, the lone black Republican in the House, announced Thursday evening he won't run for reelection in 2020.

Let that sink in

Hurd was also one of just four House Republicans who voted for a resolution to condemn Trump's racist tweets


or

Scott, the Senate’s only black Republican, was responding to Trump’s weekend Twitter attacks on U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the African American chairman of the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee.

‘God have mercy on the party,’”

GOP has 2 black members soon 1

So Jim how do explain away how blacks feel about Trumps comments? a majority clearly see them as racist.. seeing you love to tell us how black unemployment is at record lows ... and how the black community is benefiting..
I would Think their views on the issue would carry some weight .. I guess not

Tim Scott is a good leader, a good Senator, and he states a pretty good response to your post:

wayne, maybe you need to go to 5th grade, and take a reading comprehension course. i think you have issues. Because i have said here a hundred times, that i despise the vindictive, vulgar, undignified rhetoric of Trump. is that going too fast for you? Is that too vague? Please tell me why you cannot understand what i just said?

do. need to put that in a pop-up book for you to grasp it? Is it really that complex?

i have no doubt that a majority see trumps comments as racist. because they are told 1,000 times a day that it’s true. but when the best you can do is say that the word “infested” is synonymous with the phrase “crawling with n*ggers”, that’s when you lose me.

meanwhile its ok when senator robert byrd uses that word explicitly. but it’s racist when trump says that baltimore is rat infested.

You’re deranged.

BINGO.

how come the libs here bend over backwards to avoid, or at the very best diminish, the policy accomplishments of
the administration, like
criminal justice reform which will disproportionately help blacks? why would a racist sign such a bill?

Funny ive seen them all covered across all media platforms.. it just upsets you that people aren't blowing Trump because of it.. and you and all the other Trump lovers just cant except Trump is the sole person responsible for his. Negative media coverage. What the conservatives matra about personal responsibility.. maybe you should try that idea on Trump.. you and republicans cry about media biases more than dems use the race card. Media biais for republicans is their holy grail supporting their shared victimization..

Does your boss pat you on the back and shower you with praise for doing your Job ? I WOULD SUSPECT NO WHY BECAUSE ITS YOUR JOB!!!

but you expect a different standard for Trump

feel free to bend the knee to trump you've been doing it since he was elected .. unlike you I look at Trump as a whole and not willing to excuse his behaviors .. just because the economy doing well .. as most supporters clearly are willing to do .. republican party has taken on the thug life (no snitches ) They'll kiss his ass to the bitter end

Clueless.

first, if profits set records under my leadership, my boss would give me an atta boy

second, the media’s job is to report the news. not just to help democrats get elected. they aren’t his boss, they are supposed to be unbiased reporters of what is taking place. they are intentionally distorting the news to help one side. do you deny that?

Your tin foil hat is way to tight. They do report the news grow up and accept Trumps coverage is based on him and the words that come from his mouth

recent Quinnipiac University National Poll, released on July 30, showed that 80 percent of African American voters surveyed considered Trump racist. I GUESS this is
just another intentional distortion ...

what did the quinnipiac poll say the results of the 2016 election were going to be?

yawn

when was the last time
cnn or
msnbc did a fair, accurate story on the benefits of unemployment this low, or a stick market this high? in prime time, do they ever mention these things? it’s all russia and racism.

You left out billions of names. Just about all of us on the planet, including you, are biased. And, of course, so is all the media. Media intentionally slants in the direction of its bias. Those who get their perception of the world from media, will have their minds bent in the direction of media bias. Those who depend on left leaning media, will perceive Trump to be a racist.

One can, however, objectively examine the media slant, and in the case of Trump, rationally see that he is not a racist.

If you think that since 1 percent of the population watches on a given night means only 1 percent watches the station in total, you are humiliating yourself.

it’s one station with an

You’re dreaming about market share and the importance of cable news
But just think about the source you depend on
Communications scholars and other social scientists have shown that Fox News lies to its audience so often that a person who watches no TV news at all would know more about factual current events than a regular Fox viewer.

"Communications scholars and other social scientists"--Wow, that's a boatload of leftist biased sources. If those are your sources, it's no wonder you're such a dithering pseudo intellectual.

How many "communications scholars and other social scientists did you find to show that Fox news lies so often? Thousands (are there that many?). . . hundreds . . . tens . . . a handful or so on google? Not that the number matters. I can't conceive of why a communications scholar (whatever that is) would be a better judge of what is a lie than an accountant, or a policeman, or a carpenter, or a priest, or any common sense person who pays attention. Nor do I believe that "communication scholars" and social scientists are unbiased.

And are there other "communications scholars" and other "other social scientists" who disagree with your guys?
