I've been telling people Republicans are a racist party in this forum since 2008. I thought they were getting better until Trump came on the scene.

Now they know the stench comes from within their own house.
Getting better? Did you not pay attention to the abuse heaped on "that colored fella" (who is probably a Kenyan Mooslim immigrunt) in the WHITE House?

I'm referring to before Trump came on the political scene. He promoted birtherism.

IIRC, the whole "Obama was born in Kenya" was around since his first term. I guess it COULD have been Trump who started it, it's for damned sure he pushed it hard.

trumps not smart enough to start something but he sure is opportunistic enough to run with something that was gaining momentum by the other racists

Trump gave them permission to wear their racism loud and proud. It's gross.

And a lot will claim they're not racist at all, all while saying shit like "there doesn't need to be MLK day anymore, they have Juneteenth now." Apparently, African Americans only need/deserve 1 holiday. At least the proud ones don't shy away from admitting they hate people of color.

Charlie Kirk has now gone 60 days without saying anything racist.

Thanks Chuckster. Being a black man, it warms my heart to see how you have changed.

Social media arrived and became the fabric on which to grow such disease. It united a bunch of isolated and dejected racists who had no space before. Now they can connect, recruit, and organize, the sky is the limit for their ambitions. "Polite society" no longer prevents any of that.

Nope but this conservaterrorist angling for moscow Mitch’s senate seat has no problem using his image and words to campaign.

I am tired of the Barr and Morris commercials trying to out-Trump each other. Voting for whomever ends up running against the winner.

It feels like they both spent millions carpet bombing local media with the garbage they spew. I’m on OTA for TV reception and I’ve changed channels on one of their spots only to land on one for the other conservaterrorist!

Maddening…

Lucky you.. and lucky it's still free for now.

Did you in England everyone has to pay a tax to be able to view OTA tv??

And ATSC 3.0 standard is trying to implement that over here as well!

There is no tax for ATSC 3.0.
Just the cost of new equipment, and maybe the hidden cost of tuners being mandated in all sets, that most people will never use.

I was thinking exactly this a few days ago, and found this just today so I'm apparently not alone. A lot of jokes/memes have been spawned about her and JD having a thing but it's just heresay for now. I think she just likes riding on the lush grift train for as long as she can.
