Can this country survive another 4 years of the Orange Imbecile?

My cousin is married to a Jamaican woman. You do NOT want to call her "black..."

Yep. I heard several folks with Jamaican accents calling into talk radio shows today saying the same thing. As well as a couple of Indians who questioned why that part of her heritage isn't mentioned very much.

The only way that would work is if the electoral votes were somehow tied or nearly tied, as they were in the 1876 election. If that's the case the election goes to the House of Representatives, but it's not a matter of who gets a majority of 435 votes. Rather, each state delegation gets ONE vote. And since the Republicans currently control the House delegations in 26 states & the Democrats control 23, Cheeto would win that vote.... unless three states flipped over. Utah & Idaho are slight possibilities in that scenario, because Mormons really don't like the Orange Imbecile. But it's nothing I would bet money on, if a bookie was taking odds on such a thing.

So in that case, my vote actually means even LESS. As does everyone else in the country who is not a congressman.

In the 1876 election BTW, Samuel Tilden won the popular vote by a decent margin and the elctoral count by ONE vote. Yet the House election still somehow put Rutherford B. Hayes in office. Second most fucked up way a President ever got into office, but at least it was constitutional. Unlike the clusterfuck in 2000.

They don't give a fuck about the distinction between the electoral or popular vote if it doesn't benefit them and that may make it even easier for scum like drumpf to try to cry foul. The speculation is that Trump will only be able to try to subvert the system is the popular vote is close enough to cry fake-fraud....

I know it's silly but I still sit and wonder... by insisting that the Democratic VP pick be a black female, then dissecting her ancestral heritage debating if Jamaican ancestry is actually "black"... isn't all this just perpetuating racial entrenchment..? Next I expect someone to question just how female she is...

I thought the whole objective was racial and gender equality?

If that is really the long term objective... shouldn't we be more concerned with leadership skills, capabilities and their record..?

Hmmmm... both Democratic P & VP candidate's actual past accomplishments are deeply rooted in anti-crime, tough law and order related actions they made happen... Yet... their party appears to be aligned and supporting BLM, Defund the Police and the nightly domestic terrorism destroying our larger cities nightly.

Does anyone clearly see the disparity here..?

Seems impossible to ignore the complete opposing elements that do not align with the objectives being played out. This is the team that's going to lead us out of today's mess..?

Cornel West says Trump's wrong on Kamala Harris: "I'm a radical, she's a centrist"
Jeffery Martin


Philosophy professor Dr. Cornel West said Wednesday that President Donald Trump had misclassified presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris as a "radical."

Dr. West has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump, referring to him in a June interview as the "neo-fascist gangster in the White House." Describing himself as a democratic socialist, Dr. West has lamabsted politicians from both the Republican and Democratic parties. While Trump has attempted to paint Harris as a member of the radical left, West said that wasn't the case.

"I want Trump people to know, I'm a radical," West said in a Wednesday interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN. "My dear sister [Kamala] Harris is not a radical—she's a centrist and a moderate. I love the sister, she's my AKA sister and everything, but at the same time, I recognize that when it comes to serious class struggles that are going on, the class war of the bosses against workers, she's not always been on the side of the workers. Neither has Biden."

"We have to tell the truth about even those we vote for," West added. "That's why I don't endorse them, I vote for them."

West warned that if presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Harris still retain their ties with "neo-liberal elites, then we're just going to have another slow disaster rather than a quick catastrophe."

Newsweek reached out to the Biden campaign for comment.

Regardless of his views about Harris and Biden, West told Cooper that Americans "have got to make sure Trump leaves the White House one way or another. Either by election or if he loses and he won't leave, then some of us will have to go and escort the brother. It's time to go. You've done your damage."

As the first Black woman to run for vice president, some observers believe Harris could draw both progressives and Black voters to Biden's side in November. Widely regarded as a safe choice, Harris could complement Biden's own political platform without pushing away voters with moderate viewpoints.

The Trump administration reacted quickly to the announcement of Harris as Biden's running mate. Minutes after news of Biden's choice was made public, Trump's campaign released a video calling Harris a "phony."

"Biden calls himself a transition candidate," the ad said. "He is handing over the reins to Kamala while they jointly embrace the radical left."

During a Tuesday press briefing, Trump said Harris was "a big tax raiser, she's a big slasher of funds for our military, and she's got a lot of difficult things that she's going to have to explain."

"Plus, she was very, very nasty to—one of the reasons it surprised me, she was very—she was probably nastier than even Pocahontas [Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren] to Joe Biden," Trump added. "She was very disrespectful to Joe Biden. And it's hard to pick somebody that's that disrespectful. When she said things during the debates—during the Democrat primary debates—that were horrible about Sleepy Joe."

Vice President Mike Pence told a crowd in Arizona on Tuesday that he was not surprised by the news that Harris had been chosen as Biden's running mate. "As you all know, Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left," Pence said. "So given their promises of higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine and abortion on demand, it's no surprise that he chose Senator Harris."

Harris criticized Trump on Wednesday during a campaign event in Delaware, saying that he had "inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground."

I heard a question today, 'if you could wave a magic wand and replace Trump with Dennis Rodman as POTUS would you?'

[FORD]

Sure.. why not? At this point I don't see how Dennis Rodman could do any worse. And at least he would be more entertaining in his incompetence than Cheeto.

[Nickdfresh]

I think Rodman might be better because he would actually listen to his advisers and people like Fauci...

[Seshmeister]

THat was the argument I heard. He would have put Fuaci in charge and then just fucked off to a party in Vegas which would have been so much better. Maybe not ideal but so much better...
