American Politics

[EihTooms]

The immortal words of Ronnie Ray Guns. Benghazi, Benghazi, Burisma, the Big Guy, Burisma! How are historical multiple criminal charges against a charlatan Ex-President a sign of strength? Inside a basket of deplorables yes, in the immortal words of Crooked Hillary. The end is definitely near. My jiffy pop popcorn is smoking in anticipation of Fat Nixon under cross examination under oath. Will he bring his self autographed Bible?

How hilarious is it that the cult followers of the Repub candidate whose central campaign pillar in 2016 was "Lock her up"! LOL, today now conjuring up every teeny tiny insignificsnt detail and loophole they hope to their Lord and Savior God will miraculously erase the overwhelming and fully documented evidence of their cult leader's guilt on 88 Felonies, many of which are directly related to his attempt to overturn a free and fair election, interfere with a free and fair election, overthrow American democracy and shit on the USA Constitution. Lolol.

And that was after she had the balls and the facts on her side to sit for hours and hours and hours to personally testify under Oath before a tribunal of political enemies, while even the Repub lackey head of the FBI who practically handed Trump the Electoral College awards vs the millions more actual votes Clinton got AND the most hypocritical Trump Cult Follower Attorney Generals, appointed by Trump himself, could not cite one even lame excuse to indict her OR Obama OR Biden for anything!

BTW, what was Liz Cheney's, MittWitt Romney's, et al publicly stated position on that Repub Party Presidential Candidate's central campaign pillar back in 2016 before they happily and eagerly voted for him anyway? Lolol.

[Spidy]

LOL. God, I see this so much with you douches. You do not work with black people or have any black friends and you go on about the black plight. In fact, you are so into "the black experience / plight" you do not even listen to black people. Steven A smith does not have reasonable logic? The black rapper does not have reasonable logic? The poll numbers show Trump's popularity among black men is going up, and you say all these men do not have reasonable logic? LOL. You are literally not listening to what these black men are saying and feeling. Hell, you could not be more racist if you tried Soy Boy. ...

(....kkkk!) Show me the choirs of black people, both black men and black women that think Trump shouldn't be on trial and maybe I'll sit-up and take notice. You present the two black men (who may have a voice in the black community), but don't speak for the entire community. So two black men don't like the Hush-Money Case against Trump...Big Whoop!

BTW, SAS says, 95% of the time he votes for Dems. Was he (or the rapper) asked who they'll vote for this time?

SAS and this rapper, are not the first black (brown or white) people, that think, it's a bogus case against Trump and they won't be the last...Big Whoop! For every SAS or black rapper, there are 100 black scholars, lawyers, leaders, preachers, teachers ...etc that probably say otherwise.

Yeah, this is all well and good in the "court of public opinion" and panders to the docile FOXY Muse "useful idiots", but none of these people work for DOJ, whose job it is to look at the facts, evidence and burden of proof to determine if they have a viable case. So it's a moot point, as Trump will stand trial for his crimes!

So, instead of acting like, a jail-cell "b-i-t-c-h", just like everybody else, citizen Trump, will have his day in court to prove his innocence.

BTW, why didn't you provide the link, URL, website or source, where you got the SAS interview, so we could decide for ourselves (if we wish, as to), what was said in totality? Afraid your bullshit won't stand up to scrutiny?

Hey, you may be right and the "polls" do show a raise in black voters, for Trump...Big Whoop!. Just how much of a raise?

Biden and the Dems, have the most consistent non-White voting base, in Black voters. Biden, will have the known historically high numbers of between 82% to 86%, majority of Black voters, come election day actually voting for him. Verses the lip service as to what some bias poll says, about how Black voters are "raising" for Trump. Historically Repubs get 10% to 12%...Big Whoop! I doubt very much, that a racist fmr. president in Trump, will push any significant number of Black voters to vote for him, to make a significant difference come election day.

So Elvis 2008, if Trump really does have the "raising" Black vote, then explain to me, why is it that Trump and Repubs are suppressing the black votes, on voter lists, disproportionately removing drop-boxes and ballot-boxes, primarily in black neighborhoods, in swing states, and calling out ONLY black and brown neighborhoods for voter fraud?

The only polls that REALLY interest me, is the one come election day/week. As the polls haven't exactly gotten much correct, thus far, in 2022, 2023 or 2024 primaries and special elections. Where the Dem have WON over and over again...with BIG TIME WINS! So if polls are true to form, they'll have gotten the black vote wrong too, no doubt due to the abortion ban "blind-spot" that will cripple the Repubs.

I would worry more about voters, rejecting the Neo-Nazis ("with white hoods in the daytime") members that have infiltrated Republican Party, that Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) says are SCUMBAGS. No doubt, a whooping big loss of White, Black, Latin, Asian and Native Indian voters there, for Trump. Yeah, very problematic for Repubs!

Okay, so Biden loses the votes of SAS and a few rappers...Big Whoop! Meanwhile Trump loses, hundreds of thousands of votes due to the Neo-Nazis SCUMBAG problem that Republicans have. Yikes...that's gotta hurt!! Sure looks like acceptable losses, on both sides to me, given both scenarios.

So Biden WINS Again!!!!...Considering I don't know many Americans, that are willingly open to endorsing Neo-Nazis SCUM-BAGS (save a few Repubs, as it would seem).

However, I can't speak for Elvis 2008, as he's the reigning king of the "D-BAGS" word usage, so he may indeed know a few "SCUM-BAGS"! (...kkkk!)

[Spidy]

Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), drops a bombshell of a comment and call outs the dysfunctional Repub House members, that he has to work with, saying, "...I serve with some REAL SCUMBAGS"

Couldn't Agree with you more Tony! Yes, far right-wing "Repub SCUMBAGS", are unfortunately EVERYWHERE! (...kkkk!)

Where did all the "moderate" and "normie" Repubs go? Would that be out the House door, with the middle finger held high? (...kkkk!)

[Elvis 2008]

So I doubt very much, anyone of reasonable logic, thinks for a second, that what a quasi white, orange quasi billionaire, ex-TV star, ex-President like Trump, is currently going through, is anything like being immersed in "the black experience"

LOL. God, I see this so much with you douches. You do not work with black people or have any black friends and you go on about the black plight. In fact, you are so into "the black experience / plight" you do not even listen to black people. Steven A smith does not have reasonable logic? The black rapper does not have reasonable logic? The poll numbers show Trump's popularity among black men is going up, and you say all these men do not have reasonable logic? LOL. You are literally not listening to what these black men are saying and feeling. Hell, you could not be more racist if you tried Soy Boy.

Stop complaining and take the win! Especially, if Trump and you Trumpsters, truly believes this will somehow help him, bolster his numbers, "connect" with his voters of color, and gives him the "street creed", he so desperately wants.

You completely miss that I and a lot of black people care more about having a just legal system than who becomes president, but you do not. All you care about is your guy wins so those checks keep coming your way.

Isn't that what was told to blacks? Quit complaining about an unjust legal system? Look at how free you are now compared to where you were? Your degree of racial insensitivity is astounding.

No one is above the law!

If that were true, Obama would be in jail for murdering an American without a trial. A president has immunity from legal prosecution if his actions are associated with being president. In this case, Trump was charged with something he did illegally while president and acting in capacity as president.

As for being above the law, there is Hiliary, Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden breaking the law.

And then there are people who possess marijuana in New York. They are above the law.

And those not paying for public transportation.

And trespassing outside of stalking.

And prostitutes.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/06/us/al...ion/index.html

Among the crimes Bragg said his office would not prosecute: marijuana misdemeanors, including selling more than three ounces; not paying public transportation fare; trespassing except a fourth degree stalking charge, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in certain cases, and prostitution.

And the 10 million illegals who entered the country under Biden.

And the other 10+ million who were already here.

They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury Trump posted on Truth Social, giving credit to Fox News host Jesse Watters for the quote. If this is true, I guarantee you Alvin Bragg is not going to prosecute any perjury committing liberal activist.

Here is all of what Jessie Water said: They are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge. They're saying, oh, have you ever seen anything on social media about Donald Trump? No, I can't remember. Well, what about this post where you said he should be in prison? Oh yeah. That one strike and and they keep throwing these undercovers at them and thank God they're doing the research on these people so far. The jury foreman is a guy born in Ireland. Er. And then my other hope is a guy born in Puerto Rico with grandkids. The rest of them are corporate lawyers with dye all over their firms websites. And you have a 20 year old white girl who works for Disney and likes to dance. This looks like trouble. I think I think I hung jury. I think a hung jury is the best you're going to get here.

We're only at the jury vetting and voir dire stage. Let's not get ahead of ourselves!

So besides the compromised judge's family making bank on the case, the corrupt prosecutor who campaigned for getting Trump, the lying liberal activists trying to get on the jury, and you still think the fix is not in? LOL.

Hey, Spidy, why does Trump have a gag order in place if things are so fair?

[Spidy]

There's no worse feeling in media than being the next guest after Stephen A. Smith. ...

When you got four indictments and 91 counts and two impeachments and civil suits in excess of $454 million. But he still keeps marching forward, marching forward, gaining momentum. The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that either. And I'm quite disgusted by it, to be quite honest with you.

On the one hand you wingers and SAS, are crowing about he shouldn't be on trial, because its a bogus case. But yet can't help yourselves, crowing about how this will ONLY help Trump's numbers. So isn't that a win for you wingers?

It would be unprecedented, much like the Jan 6th Capitol insurrection mob/riot attack, but Trump could still govern from jail, since it's not like he spent a great deal time doing actual real work in the White House, during his 1st term, anyways. (...kkkk!)

Stop complaining and take the win! Especially, if Trump and you Trumpsters, truly believes this will somehow help him, bolster his numbers, "connect" with his voters of color, and gives him the "street creed", he so desperately wants.

Just be glad, that if LE and the US criminal justice system, really wanted to "make America great again" and take Trump back to the good ole days, so he could truly immerse himself in the "American Black Experience" (ABE), shall we say back to 1864, like Repubs across the country and in Arizona's have done, with some of the most arcane and backwards-ass abortion laws from 1800's, what would that look like?

So given his orchestrated Jan 6th coup/insurrection and 91 (??) felony charges, would that mean, in 1864, for Trump to be immersed in the "American Black Experience", he...:

• Would be on trial for a hanging, by now, given the black experience of 1864?
  - Or worse, would, he have been given the chance, to even make it to trial?
  - Or would it simply have been trial by hanging?
  - Or would he even have been given "a fair trial" at all (assuming he makes it to trial in 1864), if you're immersed in the "black experience" of 1864?

So I doubt very much, anyone of reasonable logic, a mountain of evidence, and pages and pages of documents and witnesses of Trump criminal transgressions, thinks for a second, that what a quasi white, orange quasi billionaire, ex-TV star, ex-President like Trump, is currently going through, is anything like being immersed in "the black experience", when black and brown people are deal with the LE and US criminal justice system, in real life.

No one is above the law! NOT EVEN "mushroom dick" Trump! Do the crime, do the time!

[Beijing4987]

Abused? Orange Jesus arrived to his arraignments in a motorcade, protected by America's elite police force, was not subject to a strip & cavity search or days, weeks or months awaiting trial. He was not cornered in a dingy New York stairwell, sodomized with a cops nightstick or killed in a hail of bullets. No. This prince, born with a silver spoon in his mouth was indicted by grand juries that were presented evidence of a crime. He paid for a full page advertisement in the New York Times, calling for the death penalty for young black men, later exonerated. The pussy grabber is getting his day in courts. So unfair!

[Spidy]

LOL. Someone has said it better than me.

There's no worse feeling in media than being the next guest after Stephen A. Smith. ... it took a rich white man like Trump being abused, for people to see the "maladministration of justice" black people have always known. What did his guest, Stephen A. Smith, think? ...

(....kkkk!) If SAS, as you're delusionally suggesting, is equating, the multiple 91 felony charges and the trials and tribulations of one Donald J. Trump, as identifying with the persecution of black people (or other people of color) throughout history, by LE and the criminal justice system...then I'm sure he'd want Trump to experience the full IMMERSIVE BLACK experience of said injustice, while on trial.

We're only at the jury vetting and voir dire stage. Let's not get ahead of ourselves!

While Trump has experienced the polite and courteous harassment of the FBI, I think he skipped past the disproportionately heavy-handed police brutality, police beating and a healthy amount of racist threats and barbs, that are afforded to blacks (and people of color) while in custody.

The constant harassment, driving while black (particularly in a nice car), or blatant over-ticketing of police officers (especially in the south) on people of color, to fund their police department funding shortfall. Or the middle of the night no-knock-warrants, shoot-first ask question later, deaths/murders. Or the disproportionate denial or commensurate bail, proportional to one's means of income or social standing.

BTW, this should including jail time, in a very nasty prison, should he be found guilty, if he's to truly immerse himself in the "black experience".

So yes...lets not skip the "good stuff", that is so very much, an integral part, to the actual lived "black experience" and somehow think for a moment, SAS, is truly equating Trump's current predicament, to the REAL lived "black experience" w/r to treatment by LE and the US criminal justice system.

• Here SAS, talks about the REAL "black experience", given to black, brown and minority people of color, by the "GOON SQUAD", a Mississippi police, LE and the criminal justice system:
  
  

  Six police officers sentenced to long jail terms, in the terrorizing and torture of two black men (in Jan 24th, 2023), when the officers kick in the door without a warrant and assaulted the black man (Jenkins and Parker) with stun guns and "a sex toy".
  
  The fmr. officers, that committed the offense, because a white neighbor reported, that Jenkins and Parker, where staying in the home, with a white woman. Sentencing ranged from 40 yrs to 10 yrs.
  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8Ly3r3TuE

I really wonder, if this "GOON SQUAD" example, is the immersive "black experience" and treatment, you think SAS, had in mind, that represents the "unfair treatment" Trump is now getting, somehow equates to the REAL lived "black experience"?

Yeah, I'd really love to see Trump, live as much as 5% of the real lived "black experience" w/r to LE and the US criminal justice system.

[EihTooms]

34 pages of orange man bad? OMG No! Like we have not heard that before. The attorney prosecuting this case has total immunity and can say whatever the fuck he wants. He CAMPAIGNED saying he was going to get Trump. The judge's family is getting rich off this farce of a trial and we just heard a potential juror, who was not disqualified, talk trash about Trump. The whole thing is a fucking joke. Like I said, they should just find Trump guilty now.

The funny part will be when we see you douches doing high fives when the guilty verdict comes in when the reality is that this has all the suspense of a Soviet election. Hell, a Soviet election may have been more fair.

Yes, I am amazed that anyone could keep the significant details of any one of Trump's felony crimes down to 34 pages too. But, as Trump's Puppet Master Putin well knows, time is of the essence here. So it is worth it to keep some of these Trump indictments as trim as possible without skipping the major points.

But don't worry so much about a conviction. First of all, you know better than anyone either a conviction or a hung jury / not guilty verdict for any of Trump's various crimes will thrill and delight Trump's voters every bit as much as an acquittal or my prediction of what he will do when it dawns on him his lawyers have no more delay tactics left to throw at the wall. You know, that someone will wake him up just in time for him to drop his pants in the courtroom, whip out his mushroom dick, crow like a rooster and bite the head off a live bat thingy.

And on a conviction, a verdict of guilty on any of those various felonies? Well, it only takes one Trumpster liar to weasel, wiggle and lie his / her way onto the jury to make sure that happens. And there are at least 74,223,970 America-hating, anti Law and Order-Rule of Law Trumpster Liars out there eager and happy to do it. Chances are very, very good at least one will wind up on each of those juries.

[Elvis 2008]

(...kkkk!) Dude, all of your 20 million immigration guesstimate, nonsense and bullshit was already debunked here (below) and in other recent posts (in the last several days). But don't let that stop you from whining and droning on, as Russia's most "useful idiot".

And again with the Russiagate crap "only 10 million illegals" Soy Boy? You douches still think that happened, still think Hunter snorting coke, screwing hookers and underage women was "nothing wrong" and classic Russian disinformation. You still think Covid came from nature and not a lab in China. And now you are back at it again selling the bullshit lie of this "impartial" jury, judge, and prosecutor.

As a nurse infamously said, we cannot treat stupid but we can sedate it. We need to be handing out crates of Valium to you Democratic douches.

[Spidy]

Can it get more stupid than this?

Jury selection is underway now complete in the case of The People of the State of New York vs. Donald J. Trump, . . .

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-gives-trump-anne-boleyn-treatment

Man, maybe he should just be executed.

. . .

Uhh! What now?

BTW, between all your lazy-ass bullshit "cut-and-paste" news articles and what is actually your own bullshit is so blurred in your posts as of late, it's starting to look like, one big pile of right-wing Russian propaganda BS nonsense.

Just NO CLEAR delineation, as to what is MSM bullshit and what is angry Elvis 2008, INCEL he-Man Women Hater's bullshit!

Almost very reminiscent of the lazy, incoherent, disjointed "cut-and-paste" porridge and goulash, that your brother winger, MarquisdeSade1 (MDS1) liked to post. (...kkkk!)

Just saying...you can do better! Or NOT!

P.S.: Again, just saying...it would be nice to know, who said what and "who's bullshit", I'm commenting on!

[Spidy]

Hey, those 10 million illegals cross the border, and you are totally down with that. Yeah, two Democratic douches found Trump guilty of a victimless act right before the election in an effort to rig it, and it just happened to be in the year of an election. That was a shocker! ...

(...kkkk!) Dude, all of your 20 million immigration guesstimate, nonsense and bullshit was already debunked here (below) and in other recent posts (in the last several days). But don't let that stop you from whining and droning on, as Russia's most "useful idiot".

Bring in? 20 millions? Here's Elvis again in all his splendor.

"Nearly 10 million migrants attempted to enter the US between October 2019 and January 2024, with record-high border apprehensions in 2022. ".

https://usafacts.org/articles/what-c...d-immigration/

Of course, "attempting to enter" doesn't equate to entering, but why focus on the details when you have a cool round number!

Elvis 2008, since we all know Trump "lives" in his own head (and yours too apparently), is it any wonder that as our newly minted resident Trump apologist, would point to everyone else, but the chief-n-liar, pussy-grabber, grifter, fascist wannabe dictator, 2x impeached, 4x indicted on 88 criminal felony counts...for his criminal legal problems, as anyone but his own doing, in a desperate plea for his gullible cult to come to the aid of their "Savior".

Ah yes, soy boy, your fat flimsy tower of "integrity" is okay with using the law to punish someone breaking the law as long as it helps you.

Trump has been in-and-out of court more times than you can count. The dude, is probably the most fake, pompous, supercilious, self-aggrandizing charlatan and litigious wimp ever to set foot in US Courts history.

It's only because, just recently he's really and truly been held "ACCOUNTABLE" for his criminal, defamation and sociopath behavior. For him this is eerie uncharted territory and the dude is scared and acting like a "b-i-t-c-h". And here you are throwing shade on the criminal justice system for criminal shit Trump did to himself and all those other "useful idiots" he's managed to bamboozle.

"I am Spidy. I have integrity. I know all the facts. " You are so full of it Soy Boy. ...

Interesting statement, coming from the misogynist INCEL, that obviously must have me confused with his grifter, charlatan snake-oil salesman Trump, that is currently "living rent free in your head" and is the "real fat-ass McCoy", that is so full of it.

As it was Trump, the serial litigious clown, who recently claimed, he knows the court system better than anyone and yet didn't know each side is limited to 10 jury strikes. Somehow his dumbass bloviated ego thought, he should be entitled an unlimited number of strikes...kkkk!

PS: Elvis 2008, you can expect a call from the Trump campaign, anytime now, demanding a 5% for cut or 5% royalty, for Trump's "likeness" living in your head...kkkk!

LOL. Someone has said it better than me.

There's no worse feeling in media than being the next guest after Stephen A. Smith. Whatever you have to say, you'll say it worse. Right, wrong, whatever, the man was born to be on television. The upside is listening to his segments. Last night, while waiting to talk about NPR, I listened as Chris Cuomo told a story about an unnamed hip-hop artist complaining that it took a rich white man like Trump being abused, for people to see the "maladministration of justice" black people have always known. What did his guest, Stephen A. Smith, think?

Stephen A. SMITH: No question. That hip hop artist who called you, he's right on the money. Here's the sad part. It gives credence to the argument Trump made during a speech weeks ago where he talked about black folks relating to him. Now, what the hell would black folks have in common with a guy that was born on third base thinking he hit a home run? Born with the proverbial spoon in his mouth? It's the legal system. I can say this because 95% of the time I voted Democrat. I'm looking at a Democratic party that looks at the black community that says, "We are there for you. We are there for you.".

But when it's time to vote, you want to talk to black people about what you're doing for them. And how you are on our side. But this man right here, who's the presumptive GOP nominee, is in a position to literally get back into the White House because what you're doing to him, we find fairly relatable to things that have been done to folks in our community, and it's happened for decades. There's no escaping that fact and Trump pointing it out, and being accurate in doing so, is perhaps the height of embarrassment for the Democratic party, in my estimation.

This exchange was preceded by a classic Stephen A-ism:

When you got four indictments and 91 counts and two impeachments and civil suits in excess of $454 million. But he still keeps marching forward, marching forward, gaining momentum. The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that either. And I'm quite disgusted by it, to be quite honest with you.

If you watch ESPN you've heard that speech a hundred times: "You got Karl-Anthony Towns and the Stifle Tower Rudy Gobert and the high-flying new face of the league in Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid and Slo-Mo Anderson and all those boys, and you can't even beat the eighth seed in your conference one time in the regular season one damn time, J. J. Redick! frankly, I find that disgusting. ".

The Trump rant (click here to watch) was no sports take, nor particularly novel, as Stephen A's been branching into politics and appearing as a guest on Fox News, which can't get enough of him for obvious reasons. The hit pieces haven't come yet, but if he keeps this up, they will, and we can guess what form they'll take. It'll be ugly. But any Democrat watching should immediately recognize the red flag Stephen A. Is raising, and I don't mean the one that has to do with race. This is about sports:

Americans love sports because we have a strong egalitarian streak and love the simplicity; you play better, you win. The villain is always the overconfident favorite taken down by an underdog who wants it more. Phi Slamma Jamma dunked into infamy by Lorenzo Charles, the Greatest Show on Turf cut down by a placekicker, Miracle on Ice. That 1980 Soviet team was actually quite likable and packed with all-time greats, but they'the been trained to show no mercy in international play and piled 16 goals on poor Japan before the fateful clash. Americans love that story because the Soviets were so much better, because that's sports: you got to play the games. "If we play 'them ten times, they might win nine" but the ice doesn't know the odds.

In every sports contest two groups of spectators are irrational and have worthless takes: the fans of the two teams playing. (This rule applies with equal or greater force to politics.) Once the homers are out of the picture, the rest of the sports-watching world argues over who will win, who should win, who deserves to win, who maybe deserves to lose. This country hates a sore loser, but a sore winner is worse. Act like you've been there! A PhD and an iron worker in the stands of a Buffalo Bills game will be equally plastered by the third quarter and react the same way if their own team chooses to run up the score, especially against an opponent they might see in the playoffs. They'll stare at each other in glassy-eyed panic, each knowing: "That will come back to haunt us. ".

Every sports fan rich, poor, black, white, old, young is steeped in these intricacies. We know why "ball don't lie," and why coaches who whine about injuries deserve to lose ("Next man up" is the rule). Stephen A. May not be the spokesperson of "the black community," but he might be Chief Justice of sports talk. Democrats should hear what he's saying: to the average person, these interminable Trump indictments and lawsuits and lawfare (hearing a popular sportscaster use that term unironically should inspire a Beltway mass-clench) seem worse than cheating. It comes off as cowardice, fear of even competition, something that never, ever plays in this country. "The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that," is a heavy indictment, and if he's thinking that, you can bet a hell of a lot lot more people are. Just win, baby. What happened to that?

Trump "keeps marching forward gaining momentum" where again? Joe Biden is the one gaining momentum in the polls, not Trump.

Oh, of course, it is clear as day why the man who is more responsible for converting a likely manageable endemic confined to one region in China into the Pandemic it became than any other person on the planet, disproportionately killing Black people and other minorities due to the types of close proximity jobs they held and living conditions would be seen as a hero to the Black demo to a numbskull like Smith rather than the man who was chosen by the first AfricanAmerican President of the United States to be his Vice President, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom With Distinction by him, who himself chose the first Black / South Asian person to be his Vice President, who nominated and got appointed the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, whose economic and national security policies and stewardship recovered America from the historic Disasters of Trump's Pandemic better than any other country on Earth and who has now twice driven the Black unemployment rate to record lows, once in the Obama-Biden Administration and once in the Biden-Harris administration.

It must be because the thoroughly documented evidence shows Trump lied about the size of his properties by THREE TIMES in order to get favorable loan terms that other, more truthful borrowers were denied.

You know, the same kind of unfair charges Black people and other minorities in Manhattan get busted for all the time. LOL.

What a clueless numbskull.

The immortal words of Ronnie Ray Guns. Benghazi, Benghazi, Burisma, the Big Guy, Burisma! How are historical multiple criminal charges against a charlatan Ex-President a sign of strength?

Last night, while waiting to talk about NPR, I listened as Chris Cuomo told a story about an unnamed hip-hop artist complaining that it took a rich white man like Trump being abused, for people to see the "maladministration of justice" black people have always known. What did his guest, Stephen A. Smith, think?

Stephen A. SMITH: No question. That hip hop artist who called you, he's right on the money. Here's the sad part. It gives credence to the argument Trump made during a speech weeks ago where he talked about black folks relating to him. Now, what the hell would black folks have in common with a guy that was born on third base thinking he hit a home run? Born with the proverbial spoon in his mouth? It's the legal system. I can say this because 95% of the time I voted Democrat. I'm looking at a Democratic party that looks at the black community that says, "We are there for you. We are there for you.".

But when it's time to vote, you want to talk to black people about what you're doing for them. And how you are on our side. But this man right here, who's the presumptive GOP nominee, is in a position to literally get back into the White House because what you're doing to him, we find fairly relatable to things that have been done to folks in our community, and it's happened for decades. There's no escaping that fact and Trump pointing it out, and being accurate in doing so, is perhaps the height of embarrassment for the Democratic party, in my estimation.

This exchange was preceded by a classic Stephen A-ism:

When you got four indictments and 91 counts and two impeachments and civil suits in excess of $454 million. But he still keeps marching forward, marching forward, gaining momentum. The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that either. And I'm quite disgusted by it, to be quite honest with you.

If you watch ESPN you've heard that speech a hundred times: "You got Karl-Anthony Towns and the Stifle Tower Rudy Gobert and the high-flying new face of the league in Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid and Slo-Mo Anderson and all those boys, and you can't even beat the eighth seed in your conference one time in the regular season — one damn time, J. J. Redick! — frankly, I find that disgusting. ".

The Trump rant (click here to watch) was no sports take, nor particularly novel, as Stephen A's been branching into politics and appearing as a guest on Fox News, which can't get enough of him for obvious reasons. The hit pieces haven't come yet, but if he keeps this up, they will, and we can guess what form they'll take. It'll be ugly. But any Democrat watching should immediately recognize the red flag Stephen A. Is raising, and I don't mean the one that has to do with race. This is about sports:

Americans love sports because we have a strong egalitarian streak and love the simplicity; you play better, you win. The villain is always the overconfident favorite taken down by an underdog who wants it more. Phi Slamma Jamma dunked into infamy by Lorenzo Charles, the Greatest Show on Turf cut down by a placekicker, Miracle on Ice. That 1980 Soviet team was actually quite likable and packed with all-time greats, but they'the been trained to show no mercy in international play and piled 16 goals on poor Japan before the fateful clash. Americans love that story because the Soviets were so much better, because that's sports: you got to play the games. "If we play 'them ten times, they might win nine" — but the ice doesn't know the odds.

In every sports contest two groups of spectators are irrational and have worthless takes: the fans of the two teams playing. (This rule applies with equal or greater force to politics.) Once the homers are out of the picture, the rest of the sports-watching world argues over who will win, who should win, who deserves to win, who maybe deserves to lose. This country hates a sore loser, but a sore winner is worse. Act like you've been there! A PhD and an iron worker in the stands of a Buffalo Bills game will be equally plastered by the third quarter and react the same way if their own team chooses to run up the score, especially against an opponent they might see in the playoffs. They'll stare at each other in glassy-eyed panic, each knowing: "That will come back to haunt us. ".

Every sports fan — rich, poor, black, white, old, young — is steeped in these intricacies. We know why "ball don't lie," and why coaches who whine about injuries deserve to lose ("Next man up" is the rule). Stephen A. May not be the spokesperson of "the black community," but he might be Chief Justice of sports talk. Democrats should hear what he's saying: to the average person, these interminable Trump indictments and lawsuits and lawfare (hearing a popular sportscaster use that term unironically should inspire a Beltway mass-clench) seem worse than cheating. It comes off as cowardice, fear of even competition, something that never, ever plays in this country. "The only way to get him is to beat him, and they don't seem to be able to do that," is a heavy indictment, and if he's thinking that, you can bet a hell of a lot lot more people are. Just win, baby. What happened to that?

The immortal words of Ronnie Ray Guns. Benghazi, Benghazi, Burisma, the Big Guy, Burisma! How are historical multiple criminal charges against a charlatan Ex-President a sign of strength? Inside a basket of deplorables yes, in the immortal words of Crooked Hillary. The end is definitely near. My jiffy pop popcorn is smoking in anticipation of Fat Nixon under cross examination under oath. Will he bring his self autographed Bible?
