I'll just wait here for folk to tell me why players striking and the NBA having to call off all the playoff games tonight is the *wrong* way to protest.

I mean Kaep only took a knee, these guys are on strike.

We know you are so scared of Emjay that you banished that word from your dictionary. :p

Nope. I’ve just not seen any behavior from Melania to indicate that she is one. My mind might change if I do. A “gold-digger”, perhaps. An opportunist, sure. But like I said, I sympathize with her because she’s now stuck with him. Maybe she’ll leave him when Barron turns 18. The question is would anyone want to be with her? :(

They tried to get Trump to care about right-wing terrorism. He ignored them.

Officials at the Department of Homeland Security waged a yearslong internal struggle to get the White House to pay attention to the threat of violent domestic extremists. Frustrated, they gave up on the Trump administration.

“At least in this administration,” Neumann said, “there’s not going to be anything substantive done on domestic terrorism.”

Trump’s infamous response to the weekend: “You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”
.

Trump often expressed irritation when he saw the DHS secretary anywhere other than the border. Miles Taylor, who was Nielsen’s chief of staff, told POLITICO Trump used to lambaste her if she didn’t physically spend enough of her time there.

“Verbatim the president said, ‘Get your ass to the border, why are you not down there?’” Taylor said.



“At DHS, your budget is always in competition for [border] wall money,” Neumann said. “So it’s not insignificant to have gotten that support.”

Well, if it wasn't cocaine, what was it the two took?

Donald Trump Jr. Denies Rumors That He Was On Cocaine During His RNC Speech
“I guess there must have been something with the lighting,” Trump Jr. said.

Donald Trump Jr. has denied rumors that he was under the influence of cocaine while delivering his Republican National Convention speech on Monday night.

Speaking to “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy on Wednesday, Trump Jr. addressed his sweaty forehead and “glassy” eyes” during the speech — features that had been noticed across social media and even by “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, who speculated that he was high.

“I guess there must have been something with the lighting,” Trump Jr. said.

For the folks who still care, this right here is the mechanism by which democracy can die. The bootlicker mechanism. Doesn't care about facts, just brushes them off. Cares only about self and winning. Right vs wrong just doesn't matter anymore.

I think people like this are the greatest danger to modem society and progress.
You do realise you are at least just as partisan as I am. I would say a lot more, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here.

You must have missed OD's post earlier. Here, let me help you with that...
I have him ignored.
There's a simple rule for politics, don't listen to them because they all deceive. Look at the results of their policies. Trump was producing results before COVID hit. Better than any democrat or republican before him.

As eloquent and presidential as Obama was, he kept the status quo - and bought himself a private island to live on. Champion of the poor right there.

This is a good president.

The rest are variations on the same theme.

Agreed - that is a picture of a good president.
Unlike Trump, who is stuffing his own pockets from his occupation of the White House.

True, Trump is exploiting the presidency for his own gain as those before him. Where do you think Obama got the money to buy a private island?

They use the power in different ways to enrich themselves, some more sophisticated than others - the end game is the same.

He didn't buy an island? He bought a mansion on a Massachusetts island.

Post presidencies are lucrative business. Speaking tours, books all rake in the cash.

Your whataboutism, distracts from how Trump is corruptly using US government funds to fund his hotel business.

This is different to how Obama is making his money, through private enterprise.

Did he buy a property on a private island or entire island?

Edit: I see buka001 has already clarified
