I'm glad that PAB is wasting his time trying to get a sliver of Black voters while ignoring all those repub primary voters who chose anyone else but him.
I'm not sure it's as important that Black people - most of whom know who and what he is - focus on what it is as it is that *White* people focus on that.
After all -- do you remember when he *staged* the appearance at that Black church but filled the audience with White people? -- his whole purpose in doing this appearance (other than more attempts to insult his opponent the Vice President) is not to do ANYTHING for Black people ... but *to convince White voters that by virtue of his so-called "willingness* to meet with Black journalists* that he's "not racist* ... when anyone with eyes and the willingness to see it understands EXACTLY how racist he is
(and his own nephew is doing interviews right now talking about how he has always been that racist dude)
The whole interview was so fuck bonkers, it makes me long for a Dump V Kamala debate. Rachel Scott made him look like an idiot, so I'm sure Kamala would do the same. Although in fairness to Dump, he does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to making him look like a fool.
I do wish the National Association of Black Journalists had asked more questions about Project 2025, and fewer questions about JV Dunce, because who cares about THAT weirdo?
I TOTALLY enjoyed the humiliation of Dump. He was looking around for "his negroes" to applaud, and only one person in the whole room clapped for him. He looked so foolish, and you could tell the nice black ladies were flustering the shit out of him...by asking him questions.
"Asked by Fox News’ Harris Faulkner if his running mate would be “ready on day one” to step up as commander in chief, Trump side-stepped the question entirely.
“Historically, the vice president, in the terms of the election, does not have any impact. I mean virtually no impact,” he said. “Virtually never has it mattered.”"
Point taken, but PAB is referencing impact on the election. I think he is wrong in that though the selection might not help, but could detract (e.g., Sarah Palin). OTOH, I think Cheney was necessary to calm those concerned of W's competence, and Pence necessary to calm the fundagelicals.
Dump chose Pence because back then he knew he was totally unqualified to be POTUS, and was relying on the advice of others. Luckily this time, he'll have no guardrails on his stupidity. God help us all if he actually "wins" by losing by a few million votes.
From BBC: "In 2016, when Donald Trump picked Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate, it was widely viewed as an effort to court evangelical Christian voters who may have been wary of supporting Trump, a thrice-married former Democrat." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqv50z8dzj5o
Oh, that was clearly why he picked Pence. He was under the mistaken impression that "Christians" actually give a crap about morality.
The point I was trying to make, and failed, was that he picked Pence on the advice of others. He picked JV Dunce on the advice of his failsons. Who will be helping to run the country if he gets re-elected. God help us all!
From 2016 (Vanity Fair): "The New York Times reported in July that prior to Mike Pence being picked, Trump’s son, Donald Trump, Jr., had called a Kasich aide and promised to put the possible future veep in charge of all domestic and foreign policy. Trump, himself, would be in charge of “making America great again.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/08/john-kasich-donald-trump-vp
Oh, God, I remember that! Dump didn't actually want to do the work, he just wanted to do the cool stuff like fly on Air Force One, and charge the SS for using golf courses at his golf motels.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Black Journalists is having its convention: They invited Trump to speak. He delayed more than an hour because they insisted on a live fact-checker.
After resolving there would be no fact-checker, he lied his ass off. At the same time, people in the audience called out his lies and laughed out loud at him.
It was GLORIOUS!!!!! He also constantly bitched about how the equipment was terrible, and he couldn't hear Harris Faulkner. Meanwhile, I'm at home, and I could hear everything totally fine.
I think he even turned off Shermichael Singleton, who is the new Paris Denard, after Paris got fired for sexually harassing people (I'm assuming men since he's suuuuch a closet case), looked like he was going to be voting for Kamala in 2024.
Damn, even Shermichael Singleton is saying PAB done fucked up at the Association of Black Journalists. He's a black, toady, bootlicker for the GQP, and he's afraid he might lose his job if he says what he actually thinks of Dump's performance. When you've lost Shermichael...
Having stepped out for a bit, I find this comment thread somewhat confusing. It's a WH Press Briefing, and everyone is talking about TFG and his statements? Did I accidentally fall back into 2017-2021?
We were all watching Dump's interview by the Association of Black Journalists (and Harris Faulkner). He was lying his ass off, attacked 2 out of 3 of the black women on the panel, and just in general acted like a total jackass. They were openly laughing at him in the audience.
Oh, no doubt Dump is a rude asshole. He always has been. He talks over everyone, and people take that as a sign of strength. It's just a sign of being a low class fool.
TFG is butchering answers to questions from the National Association of Black Journalists (and Harris Faulkner, I guess), and getting some clapback about it. Train wreck, and I am here for it.
We all turned into the Association of Black Journalists, who mocked Dump mercilessly. Do yourself a favor, and watch Rachel Scott's first question on YouTube (if it's up yet). She totally read his ass for filth, and Dump started going off on her, and the journalists in the audience all started DYING laughing.
My sister lives near Powderhorn Park. While she did get tired of the noise after a year, she never once feared for her safety and never had to change any of her routines because of protests.
Rachel Scott reading Dump for FILTH over the police who were injured on 1/6. Now he's babbling about an "attack on the Capitol" a few days ago, after the monuments were viciously attacked? Uhh...when did THAT happen? I haven't heard a WORD about all the beautiful monuments being damaged.
When asked AGAIN if he would pardon the 1/6 rioters, he says yes, and then starts babbling about Seattle.
I have literally not heard a word about all of those beautiful limestone monuments being so viciously attacked 5 days ago. He claims they were fighting the cops. Weird how it hasn't been covered by the media. He's equating this "riot" to the 1/6 attack on the Capitol.
"Protesters vandalize statues, fountain outside DC’s Union Station after Netanyahu’s speech
The National Park Service is removing graffiti and making repairs to statues and a fountain outside Washington, D.C.’s Union Station after protesters damaged them Wednesday when they converged on the city to condemn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit."
"The Columbus Memorial Fountain in the circle outside the station was defaced with the words, "Hamas Is Coming," written in red paint. Other monuments, like the Freedom Bell and various statues, also suffered damage. FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez says law enforcement is preparing for more possible protests Thursday.
U.S. Capitol Police officers deployed pepper spray after they said some protesters became "violent" and "failed to obey" orders to move back from the police line."
Thank you! I had literally not heard a word about that protest.
Not that I think the Hamas protesters are accomplishing anything by doing this, and I think at this point they're just trying to help Dump get elected, but there's no way this stupidity is in any way comparable to Dump's goons trying to stop an election from being certified.
He's talking about her getting shot in the face, and then says "nobody died." He also forgot to mention she'd been repeatedly warned to get away from the door when she was trying to break in to murder congresspeople.
some of the people who didn't pass the bar exam on the first try in my law school class were on law review and worked for BigLaw firms. it happens. and most of the time, those who don't pass miss it by a few points -- they don't completely botch it -- and end up passing the second time.
anyway, whether or not Kamala flunked the bar the first time is easily checkable.
Ta, Evan. Missed this; stupid job.
I'm glad that PAB is wasting his time trying to get a sliver of Black voters while ignoring all those repub primary voters who chose anyone else but him.

(and his own nephew is doing interviews right now talking about how he has always been that racist dude)
I'm not sure that interview constituted "trying to get ... Black voters". "Piss off" might be a more appropriate verb.
CNN gonna fact check Dump's NABJ interview. Ooooh, this is gonna be good, but I'm gonna need my "BULLSHIT" rubber stamp.
That's more than the NY Times is doing. They basically chose to amplify his lies by omission of facts.
They're still upset that Biden wouldn't kowtow to them.
The "Kamala HQ" Xitter account has...xitted...8 clips from that interview.
The whole interview was so fuck bonkers, it makes me long for a Dump V Kamala debate. Rachel Scott made him look like an idiot, so I'm sure Kamala would do the same. Although in fairness to Dump, he does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to making him look like a fool.
Daniel Dale, your witle--er, witness.
I love when Daniel Dale comes on. He always looks so overwhelmed by the amount of bullshit Dump spews.
I do wish the National Association of Black Journalists had asked more questions about Project 2025, and fewer questions about JV Dunce, because who cares about THAT weirdo?
Why did I even watch that?
I certainly didn't learn anything I didn't already know.
I TOTALLY enjoyed the humiliation of Dump. He was looking around for "his negroes" to applaud, and only one person in the whole room clapped for him. He looked so foolish, and you could tell the nice black ladies were flustering the shit out of him...by asking him questions.
Apparently not PAB:
"Asked by Fox News’ Harris Faulkner if his running mate would be “ready on day one” to step up as commander in chief, Trump side-stepped the question entirely.
“Historically, the vice president, in the terms of the election, does not have any impact. I mean virtually no impact,” he said. “Virtually never has it mattered.”"
Except in 1841, 1850, 1865, 1881, 1901, 1923, 1945, 1963 and 1974…
Well, sure, if you're going to frame it in those terms, I guess the VP MIGHT matter.
Point taken, but PAB is referencing impact on the election. I think he is wrong in that though the selection might not help, but could detract (e.g., Sarah Palin). OTOH, I think Cheney was necessary to calm those concerned of W's competence, and Pence necessary to calm the fundagelicals.

Not hearing Harris Faulkner is a feature, not a bug.
Harris Faulkner was the ONLY person in the room not openly mocking Dump, so it's a shame he couldn't hear her. I could hear her just fine.
Ohhhh this is a train wreck. TFG should have stayed home and kept his lying racist mouth shut.
It couldn't have gone worse.
GOOD.
Oh well.
I think he even turned off Shermichael Singleton, who is the new Paris Denard, after Paris got fired for sexually harassing people (I'm assuming men since he's suuuuch a closet case), looked like he was going to be voting for Kamala in 2024.
The money is too damned high!
Bannon loves this shit...

Okay, watching the NABJ thing, and wow, he started out being an asshole at his first sentence. What a piece of shit.
and?
Rachel Scott is my new hero. Sorry, Jasmine Crockett.
Can't it be both?
Jasmine Crockett may have to settle for being my new girlfriend, if Alicia Keyes doesn't get too jealous over that.

Also hilarious that Dump made a fool out of himself about Harris's race after he was asked a question about his lies about Obama's birthplace.
"I decide who's Black", says white dude to Black folks.
Yep, that'll go well!
He's quite talented - just the other day he was grading a Jew for quality.
"she's a darkie. but what KIND of darkie is she? is she a peekaboo darkie or a dot darkie?"

I'm really kind of surprised he went on that thing, but then I remember he considers himself infallible, so.
It was infuriating watching him talk over the interviewers when they tried to rein him in as he strayed farther and farther from the topic at hand.
What a very rude man.
Oh, no doubt Dump is a rude asshole. He always has been. He talks over everyone, and people take that as a sign of strength. It's just a sign of being a low class fool.

Okay, watching now. Interesting choice, having him walk on to Gorillaz.
He's at the black journos confab, being himself and it's on MSNBC.
Now that I've heard a bit, he appears to have taken aim at his foot and is now repeatedly firing.
OMG, it was HILARIOUS. Total comedy gold, and Rachel Scott ripped him a new asshole right out of the gate.
I haz a confuse also too

You can't see it NOW, they rebuild it every night!
Put on your MAGA glasses, then you'll see EVERYTHING was burned to the ground.

It's more Bowling Green protesters.
People *did* die on January 6.
Starting with your disgusting martyr b****.
He's talking about her getting shot in the face, and then says "nobody died." He also forgot to mention she'd been repeatedly warned to get away from the door when she was trying to break in to murder congresspeople.
What about the at least 2 police officers that died, too.
Now they're laughing at his lie about Kamala Harris not passing the BAR exam.
Yeesh! Talk about an easily fact-checkable claim!
Many people don't pass their bar exam on the first try. Let's see how many GOP didn't pass on the first go.
some of the people who didn't pass the bar exam on the first try in my law school class were on law review and worked for BigLaw firms. it happens. and most of the time, those who don't pass miss it by a few points -- they don't completely botch it -- and end up passing the second time.
