Trump To Celebrate Juneteenth Day

[clintonhater]

A full quarter of blacks identify themselves as "conservative". Church attendance among blacks is strong. You claim to be such an expert on black issues in this country, but your posts are one distortion after another, a collection of personal grievances, nothing more. Hey what's the latest with Harry and Meghan?

That's your answer, I mean, your evasion, to my "what could he do" question?

The Duke & Duchess of Beverly Hills are enjoying the rustic lifestyle in an $18 mill, 22 acre estate. They have yet to repay British taxpayers for the $3 mil spent to upgrade their former London residence.

What do you mean what could he do? Haven't you been paying attention?

When he Tweets, whose grievances is he identifying with? Whose grievances isn't he identifying with?

You and I both know the calculus. If he gives engages on things that both blacks and whites care about, and comes down on the side of the blacks, then he will piss off the whites in his coalition and he won't do that. It got him elected in 2016 against a seriously unpopular Hillary. He's doubling down with it in 2020. You must be thrilled.

You know where Romney went wrong, don't you? "Makers versus Takers" sounded fine, until a leaked fund raising recording, where it turns out that guys like you were in his 47% of takers. "Lump us in with the blacks, will you....well screw that." He really thought he had it sewed up and couldn't believe he lost.

In the short run Trump's strategy is vindicated. But you live in NY, don't you? Politically, you're in the collateral damage zone of that strategy. 50-A repeal.

Long story short: don't blame black people for knowing what they got in Trump. But that's by Trump's clear and conscious choices.

And the preachers are preaching "God Damn America."

Here are a few dates that are at least as important as "Juneteenth," and should be remembered and made National Holidays.

March 25, 1865- Attack on Fort Stedman, Petersburg, Virginia. Touted as "Lee's last offensive", Confederate troops under General John B.

By day's end, the southerners have been thrown out and the lines remain unchanged.

After an early morning attempt to break through Union forces blocking the route west to Danville, Virginia, Lee seeks an audience with General Grant to discuss terms.

Nope Texans are out and about. We are having spikes because testing can actually be done.

Rally has been moved back one day. Next comes the Twitter rant blaming the schedule change on political correctness.

Bad planning by a mediocre staff?

The blowback was expected. To put it in terms to which you can relate, it would be like a massive civil rights rally on April 19th at Appomattox.

The rage tweets are coming. To reschedule is to admit a mistake, and implicitly acknowledge that the charge that his campaign is antagonistic towards blacks is true. Once that sinks in, he'll reach for his phone.

That would be interesting, to go toe-to-toe with the orange one. I'd be gone, no doubt.

If you would agree to perform a Lewinski on the orange one, you would do it then charge him with child abuse.... because you are a child, a 11 year old girl just going into puberty... a teeny bopper that does silly little "gotcha," games. Games that never end until you get to 16 and then you morph into Einstein

Huh?

I was talking about having Trump for a boss and arguing with him when I think he's making a big mistake. What are you talking about?

Togor for President...
