    kamala harris would be too controversial
    she has put many black americans in jail
    And she is not a "black american". she did not come from slavery.

    but the biggest issue facing her is her family lineage. if it is true, which is likely, one side of her family were actual slave owners from Jamaica then how would she recover.

    Ah, the much-loved "She's not black enough" ****e that Donnie Jr tweeted and then deleted last month! This is exactly the kind of hateful propaganda that sickens all good-thinking/acting Americans when the Trumpeters blow it out their collective ass...

    I have no idea about the truth of any of this, but if she were the descendant of a child born to a slave and a slave owner then I don't see that she has an issue?

    Is that a direct copy and paste from trump's playbook?

    Obama's birth cert. A dem marrying her brother. Dem descending from slave owners?

    All "if true"?

    Are we allowed post stuff like that?

    Because there are some fairly disgusting and far more substantiated rumours about Trump which I could mention.

    i am just posting what her dad did say about his own family. i said if true just to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    She doesn't! It's simply a 4-chan talking point that gets trotted out to deflect, distort and poison honourable debate and discussion.

    There's been a lot of that ould misinformation and propaganda from that particular source over the past few days...

    Remember, the great George Washington owned slaves in his time!

    Would love to see you back these claims up with solid evidence please.

    i dont either way, why cant blacks be slave owners too back then.
    but many people would because of the money.
    she was born wealthy to jamician and tamil indian immigrants 50 odd years ago.
    look i dont have to spell it out.

    Sure you are.

    She turned Barr into a quivering mound of swampdwelling nontalen easily. Across a debate lectern Trump'll be dissolved into the skidmark he is. No contest. Hopefully she gets past the two elderlies ahead of her soon.

    Don't even have to go down the road of rumours.

    Isn't it a matter of fact that his dad was arrested at a clan rally?

    I mean, if we can hold Harris to account for something her ancestors did allegedly while she was not alive, why not hold Trump accountable for what his dad did as a matter of fact when Trump was alive?

    I mean, otherwise we would be hypocrites, right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭nw5iytvs0lf1uz


    ok looks like i do have to spell it out,

    where their family money came from?
    the idea that in the 1960s a wealthy Jamaican and a wealthy tamil indian moves to america. where did the wealth come from?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I see Trump is back to praising the crowd again, his defence didn't really last. Man struggles to keep his story straight, can see why they didn't want him to talk to Mueller fadó fadó.

    Incredible that those who dedicate their lives to working in Congress, to enact laws and help govern a nation, can be attacked as "anti American". They literally work to make the nation happen. The inability of some Americans to conduct even a modicum of national introspection or self criticism is kinda pathetic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,085 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    the markets are very complicated and as another poster said to me it would not be right to try and explain here.

    if you are really interested i suggest you buy and read The Big Short by Michael Lewis.

    Skip the movie as it does not do a very complicated book justice.



    Ha ha ha ha. That is top notch deflection.

    A simple "No" would have done.
    Amazing.

    We've reached peak troll.

    Innuendo yet again? Seriously? Not taking the pathetic bait. Try harder.

    Do you think your unfounded allegations make Trump better than Harris? I'm sure you know the answer to that.

    Oh please. Try harder. She's infinitely more successful and qualified than Trump, you or tge other bottom feeders that still support Trump. All 20% or so of you still around that claim to support Cult45. See you around.

    I don't reckon Fred's arrest can be used to prove that he was a clan member though! There's more evidence that he may have been one of the people watching the Klan Rally when the Police arrested both marchers and watchers...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,808 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Maybe how Fred treated, people of colour, rubbed off on the young fella.

    Ainsley Harriott is descended on one side from a slave-owner in Jamaica. Is he still "black enough"?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 136 ✭✭FartyBlartFast


    the vote is between trump and the democrat nominee.
    all the current democrat runners will go so left to win they will have no chance against trump.
    many americans in Wisconsin, ohio, michigan and other near states hate socialism.
    can you imagine warren and harris as a ticket trying to win those states.
    warren who is an actual racist pretending to be part native american and harris a Californian liberal who goes on about Reparations for slavery.
    not a hope
    It's not socialist policies they fear, it is the word socialism.

    All three of those states are quite strongly in favour of social healthcare for example, and probably in no small part due to them all being right beside Canada and huge numbers of their populace frequently having to make trips up North across the border so as to not go homeless from being sick.

    What the actual... ?

    Also, being Caribbean in heritage makes someone "not black" now? Try walk around some black neighbourhoods in the US spouting that and see how you get on.

    God this is painful.

    Let's take it slow. Three questions and I'll give my answers. Then you have a go answering them.

    Q: What do you think of Trump the man?
    A: Ticks pretty much every box for a terrible human being. Racist, mysogonistic, bully, anti intellectual, conman, narcissistic, serial liar, criminal and has some disturbing issues with his daughter etc.

    Q: What do you think of Trump the Businessman?
    A: Without being bankrolled and bailed out by his father and then others, he would have ended up as a third rate used car salesman instead of a third rate conman. He bankrupted a casino! How do you manage that?

    Q: What do you think of Trump the President?
    A: Possibly the most unfit individual ever to hold the office. He could only improve by golfing until the end of his term. The damage he had wrought will take years to fix. However I will give him one thing; there's a chance that his travesty of a presidency could be good for the US in the long run as it may make Americans take their politics and democracy a little more seriously.

    Then you would disapprove of Trump having to bail out farmers to the tune of 16 billion as a direct result of his trade tariffs.

    Trump's contemporaneous speaking skills highlighted in this exchange with a Nobel Peace Prize winner. She pointed out that she & her family are Yazidis from Iraq. Her family was wiped out by ISIS. Trump then burbled about ISIS is gone, and 'where is your family now?' "They killed them." Oh.

    Yes there are.


    There are so many more achivements that Trump has done I was going to try and list a few more but it was too big so here are just a few select highlights



    • Adding Trillions to the national debt with tax breaks to his rich buddies
    • Set up concentration camps for kids
    • Praised Nazi's and a built a strong culture of racism within the white house (you have to lead by example)
    • Has the lowest rating and disapproval ratings of any president EVER (since they started measuring it)
    • Has more indictments and criminal investigations against his organization and team that any president ever.
    • Weakened US power globally as other countries seek more reliable partners.
