2020 Presidential Race

Here's the site I was talking about. I'm not a betting person but with recent polling and the pic of Hitler...think Kelly's press secretary also said something about the police...you gotta think that McSally would be a bargain at that price View attachment 317244

Yeah, I tend to agree that Halloween Hitler costume is a pretty big scar in today's world and no doubt that shifted this line down.

slight change of topic; I think Arizona is going to be really interesting.

It's fine if he wants to express his beliefs. He has the right. You're surely not that blind. You must know these supremacists flock to trump rallies in large numbers. I'm not the crazy one here. It's your mind that is lacking if you can't or just won't accept it as fact.

Literally everyone uses the OK symbol as OK. Yet some trolls on reddit convinced the nation that it's used by white supremacists as a racist symbol by like .00001 percent of the population. So you naturally assumed something like 10 or 50 MILLION less times likely.

Even if they are more likely to gather at a Trump rally you are still talking absurd percentages.

As the ok symbol, which is how you identified it.....

If you have to describe 1 symbol with a 2nd symbol to describe the first I dont think you can rationally say the default is the first.

# (what is it?)

 

[hjeagle1vol]

# (what is it?)

#barry's go to?

unless you see ISIS in there somers?

 

[LouderVol]

# (what is it?)

The pound symbol.

#neverforget, #metoo aka "poundmetoo"

 

[luthervol]

#barry's go to?

I guess it depends on the user's intent, and the receiver's ability to understand.

Trump Admin Leads 32 Nations in U.N. Rebuke: No International ‘Right’ to Abortion

The Trump administration led a 32-nation signing ceremony of a declaration that affirms there is no international right to abortion.

On Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Health & Human Services Alex Azar co-hosted the virtual signing of the Geneva Consensus Declaration along with the governments of Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, and Uganda.

The declaration serves as a rebuke to the pro-abortion rights U.N. and World Health Organization (W.H.O.).

It states the nations join to promote women’s health as well as the “strength of the family and of a successful and flourishing society.” The governments also affirm “the essential priority of protecting the right to life.”

My mom will be 93 next week. Other than cataracts and diabetes she’s doing pretty well. Was still living in the little house I grew up in on the S side of Knoxville until a few months ago but now lives with my younger brother who lives in K’ville.

My dad passed away at age 78 from ALS. That was some 15 yrs ago.

One of my friend's dad died of ALS - a terrible disease.

 

[AM64]

Not buying it. He knew exactly what he was doing. Besides he wasn't at a BB game. And for God sake it was a Trump rally.

Most of us do the OK sign without even thinking about it because we've done it all our lives. You can't get sensitive about something, expect the rest of the world to grasp your opinion, and give it up over night.

Four years almost to the day Trump was elected...Time flies.

Most people aren't even aware of the racist meaning of the okay symbol that someone concocted. Even fewer actually use it for that reason. Is it possible he is one of the few? Yes. Is it likely if you play the percentages? No

MAGA......LOL You can know a person by the company they keep.
The declaration was cosponsored by the U.S., Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Brazil and Uganda.
Apart from the United States, not one of those countries ranks higher than 95th on Georgetown University’s Women, Peace and Security Index.
Other signatories include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and the Democratic Republic of Congo, all of which are classified as authoritarian regimes in The Economist’s 2019 Democracy Index.

I think it's more likely that huge numbers are showing up. Granted the hard core members are not that big but there are a helluva lot of sympathizers out there. Look I'm a well traveled and educated southern boy and look like the biggest old redneck on earth. I blend in. I've hung around the barber shops pool halls and beer joints. I have a large and conservative family and old friends and acquaintances. I know the land. I know the people. My brother is a college graduate Lipscomb (if you accept that as a college) and just retired Church of Christ minister of a very large congregation. I don't think he realizes how racist he is. He stopped using the N word sometime ago but the way he his wife and those around him talk and act hasn't changed. His kids aren't like that and I've seen his son look at me and shake his head. I love him because he's family and we grew up hunting, fishing and playing sports together but I swear to God I am ready to take a 2x4 to his ass.

Where did you study the discipline to be such a judge?

I had a friend that died in his 40’s from that and treated a few patients with it.... one of the worse diseases out there.

It just seems to come naturally.
Who would have ever dreamed that the same sign could have more than one meaning?

Delphi Retirees Thank Trump for Action to Restore Their Pensions: ‘Best News Since Nightmare Began’ by Obama-Biden

Former Delphi workers, who had their pensions slashed in the Obama-Biden administration’s auto bailout, are thanking President Trump for his order that seeks a solution in restoring the lost pensions.

In 2009, as part of the Obama-Biden administration’s taxpayer-funded bailout of General Motors (GM), the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) terminated the pension plans of about 20,0000 non-unionized Delphi workers. In some cases, workers had their pensions gutted by as much as 75 percent.

A federal report in 2013 detailed that the Delphi workers would likely have their pensions cut by an estimated $440 million. Meanwhile, GM topped off unionized Delphi workers’ pensions at a cost of about $1 billion.

This week, Trump signed a memorandum that orders federal agencies to devise a plan on how to restore the Delphi workers’ slashed pensions over the next 90 days. Den Black with the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association (DSRA), which has been fighting for their pensions since the auto bailout, praised the decision.

“This is the best news since this nightmare began 11 years ago,” Black wrote in a statement:

Listen dang it. Trumps core of worshipers are totally and completely tuned in. They know the winks and nods. I've known for a long time what it means and I'm 100% positive the vast majority of his people do too .

It appears to be a classic Eddie Murphy “wuddint me” defense

Kelly's impersonation likely was something like a Halloween party, but dems had to jump on the bandwagon about blackface and dumb parties. Karma bites again. Goose and gander ... goose and gander, or if you live in a glass house ...

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.
