Businesses opening and (trying) to hire after being forced to close and fire is NOT the same as adding jobs. It’s like setting a fire and then bragging about bringing some water and putting the fires out. That’s the dumbest analogy I’ve seen all day. Did Joe Biden start the fire? No, it was his numbnutz predecessor who mishandled the pandemic from the beginning, allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to die unnecessarily, and practically crashed the economy. Then Joe Biden comes along with the water hoses, but somehow you’re blaming him? I love the smell of desperation in the morning. |

I don't understand how it can mean anything except he believes that blacks are "other."
Can anyone else explain to me -without racism- when speaking about Americans voting, why "Americans and African Americans" would fall in 2 different categories?
As far as racism, I'm always against it, even when it comes from a Democrat. I feel ashamed, angry and regretful when it's someone I voted for.

Oh honey, you mean like the last administration did with everything?? “Oh we two have the best most beautiful healthcare plan!!!” And you need to be educated on how these stats are collected, it’s not what misinformation you’re trying to push., the way the stats are prepared is the same for all administrations. It’s a fact that in the last year 6,000,000 jobs have been added. Oh and trump administration inflated (lied) about ever single thing on my picture. Hypocrite—republicans have been whiny snowflakes wanting life to go back to normal, no masks, opening things up, yet at the same time they complain that 6,000,000+ jobs were added this last year. |

Nothing on how Biden got Afghanistan right?  In other words you got nothing and was just flapping your gums hoping nobody would ask you to put up or shut up. Deflecting as always. It’s what you’re best at, shill. |

Nothing on how Biden got Afghanistan right?  He ended a 20 year war, something that previous presidents, even President Obama, was unable to do. More deflection and nothing of substance  |

I asked another pea to be specific on how President Biden is messing things up. You chose to answer the question with one word which in no way answered the question “specifically how” So instead of actually answering the question you chose to answer even though it was not directed to you , you are demanding that I answer a question and still have not answer the original question. And you claim I’m deflecting. Wow. |

So, no conservatives are willing to admit the McConnell’s statement was racist? Just claims that he was misunderstood and deflection, rumors and misinformation about President Biden, the economy and Afghanistan

Sharing another tweet about what a lot of people think McConnell meant by his comment:
For those who can't see embedded tweets:
Mitch McConnell: "African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as American voters."
Toni Morrison: "In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate."

Let's compare and contrast. McConnell's statement with falsehoods, misinformation and possible racism vs Raphael Warnock. His speech on voting rights is long but worth watching. He asks the important question, do we want to be the America of Jan 5 vs Jan 6? On Jan 5, a record turnout of voters in Georgia elected the state's first black Senator and the state's first Jewish Senator. On Jan 6, white supremecists and Trump supporters, incited by Trump, participated in a violent insurrection and tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Seems fairly obvious to me which America we want to be and who is on the right side. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctGzbVVato0twitter.com/SenatorWarnockwww.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/watch-we-have-been-summoned-here-by-historythis-is-a-moral-moment-in-america-senator-reverend-warnock-urges-senate-colleagues-to-protect-the-sacred-right-to-vote-to-make-c/“We cannot hide from history. January 6th happened, but here’s the thing—January 5th also happened. Georgia, a state in the old confederacy, sent a Black man and a Jewish man to the Senate in one fell swoop. Our nation has always had a complicated history, and I submit to you that here’s where we are—we’re swinging from a moral dilemma. We are caught somewhere between January 5th and January 6th. Between our hopes and our fears. Between bigotry and Beloved Community. And in each moment, we the people have to decide which way are we going to go, and what are we willing to sacrifice in order to get there? The question today is are we going to give in to a violent attack, whose aim is now being pursued through partisan voter suppression laws in state legislatures?”“And so here’s the question tonight: America, are we January 5th, or are we January 6th? Are we going to give in to the forces that seek to divide us by gerrymandering us, suppressing us, and subverting the voices of some of us in pursuit of power at any cost, or are we going to live up to that grand American covenant, E pluribus Unum? Out of many—one. I choose what Dr. King called Beloved Community. I choose America. I choose a nation that embraces all of us.” |

More deflection and nothing of substance Biden inherited an impossible situation that had been deliberately mucked up by Trump. Are our Trump loyalists forgetting that he negotiated only with the Taliban, completely cutting the legitimate Afghan government out of the deal? Then he pulled most of our soldiers out on the eve of his leaving office. Biden made the best he could of a crappy deal, lost only (!! I know, and I’m sorry) 13 American soldiers on the way out, and also rescued tens of thousands of Afghanis who were scrambling to get out. Meanwhile, the American right wing was sitting at home bitching about us leaving anyone (Afghanis) behind, until we got them out, and then suddenly, the story became NIMBY instead. And now we get the Biden-fucked-up-Afghanistan argument from you people. Nope, a number of different presidents fucked up Afghanistan.* Biden got us out. Honestly, how do you people sleep at night? *and I say that as someone who felt we needed to go into Afghanistan after 9/11. Not Iraq, never Iraq, but Afghanistan, yes. |

It sounds like he is loosely comparing the ratio of registered black voters and subsequent black votes to the same ratio for the overall voting population. Such as 100 black registered voters and 70 black votes compared to 1000 total registered voters and 700 votes. I didn't hear the racism. Of course you wouldn't. |

Not to mention the fact that Trump pulled troops suddenly from Syria (if I remember correctly) and the Russians took over our base and weapons that were left. But they don't want to talk about that. |

dizzycheermom , yes, absolutely true. Trump was also very dismissive of the injuries suffered by American soldiers who were under attack during the Syria withdrawal.

A couple of weeks ago a NPR reporter managed to get a phone interview with dumpster don. When the reporter started to question dumpster don about the big lie dumpster don hung up on him. Didn’t even say goodbye.
Recently Congressman Dan Crenshaw held a town hall meeting. He was taking questions. A young woman had a question about one of his quotes. She was having hard time understanding what it meant. He cut her off and told her not to question his faith. The video is at the bottom. At first people thought the woman was a 10 year old girl. She is actually 18. Didn’t matter how old she was, he was rude.
What these two examples show , IMO, is the Republicans can say whatever they want and no one is allowed to question them or even ask questions.
These folks go on Fox News and those other conservative friendly stations and say whatever they want and whoever they are talking to just nods their heads.
They isolate themselves, for the most part, from their constituents so they don’t have to answer those pesky questions.
Unfortunately there are those who listen to noise coming from the right and they accept as gospel without caring if it’s right. It’s that old “if they say it then it must be true” syndrome.
There have been several individuals on this board have said President Biden is a terrible president. But offer no specifics. Yesterday a pea said he messed things up. So I asked her for specifics. To me if I said trump fucked things up and someone asked me to be specific it would be easy for me to do. I mean how many parts and pages were there in the trump catch all threads? 80-85% of the content of catch all threads were of trump’s screwups, the lies, and the overall incompetence of the man.
So if President Biden is such a fuck up it would seem to me that those saying it could provide the specifics. Real quick.
What we got was one word and a bunch of deflecting. And the pea I specifically asked the question of made one comment that didn’t come close to answering the question.
Which makes me believe these two are the perfect parrots that are repeating the right’s talking points without bothering to find out if there is any substance to them. Little 🦜s.
I asked the question because I’m getting tired of these comments without any specifics. Partly because a lot of what is being said is nothing but crap and partly because I’m wondering what they are seeing that I’m not.
Anyway here is the video of that rude guy…

Right out of Trump's playbook. If you don't like the question, walk away or insult the person asking.

Why don't you tell me what he got right about Afghanistan, I imagine the list is very short. You realize that the majority of Americans favored getting out of Afghanistan. This isn’t solely Biden’s cross to bear either. This war is 20 years in the making. Who got us there? Trump was a fucking coward in creating an exit plan to fall outside his term. He didn’t want the political fallout. He also created precarious situations that made the pull out more dangerous. Trump and his administration made awful for US deals with the Taliban. Let that sink in. During trumps administration, the Taliban took over 1/3 of Afghanistan and then he made deals that allowed for the release of over 5,000 Taliban fighters, who quickly regrouped and had taken over control of the country. And it is so hypocritical for your type to call it a fuck up when the United States military and its leaders should be applauded for getting the US out of what was going to be a never ending war. So spare us the smug bullshit of blaming Afghanistan on Biden, when it’s been the Republicans who set it up, fucked it up, and made bad faith deals. Couldn’t handle the cold hard facts could ya? |
