It’s not the border that’s the main problem for you people. The problem is brown people coming over. That why righties claim they are poisoning the blood of the country. What the fuck do you think that means?

Trump said it himself, he wants his immigrants from Norway.

Yeah, he specifically complains that "they" are coming from "Africa" and "Asia". No mention of Europe. Pretty clear who he means by "they".

Sunak's comments about Europe being "overwhelmed" by migrants seem similar - though I don't think Sunak feels it anything like as personally as Trump does.

He's just a shallow calculating machine, who has concluded that pandering to xenophobia and racism offers him his best chance of career 'success' and has absolutely no interest in anything beyond that.

Trump I'm sure feels it on a more visceral level as he's himself intensely racist.

Don’t get this comparison to his wives. It’s obvious he isn’t referring to white immigrants.

Not me, some of them, yea, but not me. I want border strength, I don't care who comes to the country as long as they are legal. Legal immigration is good, illegal immigration is not.
I suppose you realize the price of that kind of thinking. It would mean that thousands of people trying to escape desperate situations in their home countries with their children would have to wait their turn to come in also desperate conditions? What is your attitude to national laws if your children's lives were at stake. They wouldn't mean much to me, I think. I would find it difficult. I think, to say to my child you are going to have to die because it's not fair to cut in line.

I would favor, instead, overthrowing governments south of the border that

In the clip I heard this morning, it seems like Trump is openly courting Putin once again, quoting Putin’s own criticism of Biden.

Trump's ongoing fondness for dictators (Xi, Putin, Kim, etc) is well known. He admires them and covets that kind of power.

If the 2024 electorate doesn't think that matters then don't come crying to me about how your vote against Biden didn't really matter because they aren't different as you're shuffled off to the camps.

Can you imagine the outcry if Obama had waxed poetic about any of those guys????

I gotta say, I'm impressed at how you can blame the failures of a mayor that the Democrats hate onto the Democrats themselves.
What's it like to be so blatantly dishonest?
Democrats hate Adams because he was a cop. That's stupid. When Adams was in the NYPD, he was one of the most hated cops by white Giuliani-types because he was outspoken against police brutality, etc. This is the guy that you all should want.

Yes, he has done a poor job so far, but he is what Dems should want in cops....the guy had no complaint record, was one of the anti-police brutality cops out there, etc.

You don't realize that the Mayor of New York City's No. 1 job is public safety and No.2 is that the NYPD needs to know that the mayor supports "them".

Dinkins, de Blasio were hated by cops.

Sorry, but that's bullshit. When you start with BS, nothing you say after that can be taken seriously.

It's also completely off topic and has nothing to do with Trump's fascism.
It's true, and it has something to do with Trump's fascism, because Adams, Bass, etc. are being baited by Abbott and DeSantis on the immigration issue.

Reparations should happen, but it would be the end of the modern Democratic Party, because even a lot of those white swing voters that Democrats have relied on would swing to the GOP....

Should have happened centuries ago....
Reparations to African Americans should have happened centuries ago when slavery really ended in 1865 (officially)? Damn, you are dumb.

Should have happened in 1866...

Today, millions of Black voters may stay home in 2024, that will destroy Biden in Georgia and Wisconsin.

If not reparations, Biden is seen as not fully addressing Black needs, like prioritizing Ukraine and Israel....

Trump nor any other Republican won't do anything on reparations, but Dems are obviously under pressure because Dems are reliant on Black voters.

Lol how can Biden offer reparations when it’s congress that controls the purse strings. And enough blacks didn’t vote in 2016 because of Russian misinformation. And with 11 months left, lol how can reparations be the Hail Mary to win black votes?

You repeating this claim in multiple threads about reparations and voting likelihood doesn’t make it accurate. Black voters have a very low expectation of reparations happening.

He can promise in his second term, that he would sign a reparations study and get it done, because a lot of Black voters are restless....you see Charlamagne the God, etc. express doubts that Biden can win again without strong Black turnout.

This post is hilarious.

‘Democrats hate Adams because he was a cop. In unrelated news he’s also doing a bad job.’

Lol.

The mayor should not represent the NYPD. They are public employees and he is their boss.

Getty doesn't give a crap about what black voters might think. His reparations spiel is designed to alienate white voters. Getty thinks he's clever when he's just the same old GOP.

If you actually believe this you are totally delusional.

You seem to be obsessed with race though, why is that?

I read The Art of the Deal (it was recommended somewhere, don't remember where). Found out eventually that his ghost writer repudiates it and said the biggest mistake of his life was taking that job. Since I learned to despise Donald Trump. Can't stand him in any capacity. Never saw his TV show. BTW, that used copy of The Art of the Deal now sits at the bottom of my paper recycling bin in the kitchen.Tired of Trump.jpg
