Anyway, if the DNC goes ahead with this then they’re as mad as a cut snake and deserve to lose. |
A never Trumper is never going to wedge as many votes away as Bernie. Any challenge to Trump will come during the primaries and they'll be embarrassing. |

How a deluded Democrat distorts from the reality of a botched up attempt at trying to discredit the Trump train.... this, from the candidate who's on the second line of betting for the lost left....
Like most of you, I’ve seen the reports about Jussie Smollett, and I’m sad, frustrated, and disappointed. When anyone makes false claims to police, it not only diverts resources away from serious investigations but it makes it more difficult for other victims of crime to come forward. At the same time, we must speak the truth: hate crimes are on the rise in America. Just last year, the FBI released statistics that revealed a 17 percent increase in the number of hate crimes in America. Part of the tragedy of this situation is that it distracts from that truth, and has been seized by some who would like to dismiss and downplay the very real problems that we must address. We should not allow that. I will always condemn racism and homophobia. We must always confront hate directly, and we must always seek justice. That is what I will keep fighting for.
Kamala Harris.

I think you meant “derail” the Trump train; to be fair, though, Trump’s doing a bang-up job of derailing that “train” himself. But then honestly I have no idea what you’re talking about here, or how this utterly banal statement is even worth remarking on.

What I'm saying David, is that these looney leftists are going to extremes to try and make out that Trump is to blame for every wrong doing in the US... and even when they get caught out, blatantly lying, they shrug that off and still try and distort the truth by digressing and making more false statements.
This clown Jussies story...
He claimed two masked men in ski masks used racial and anti-gay slurs and shouted “This is MAGA [Make America Great Again] country!”. According to the claims, the men looped a rope around his neck before running away. He said they also poured some kind of chemical on him but he fought them off and was admitted to hospital and discharged a few hours later. Public figures, including celebrities and Democrat politicians, expressed public support for Smollett on social media. Smollett also told police he was on the phone to his manager Brandon Z. Moore at the time of the attack, with Moore confirming he heard some of what happened including the MAGA cry and a racist slur.

This isn't the only botched attempt at trying to make Trump look bad by faking comical attacks, there's been dozens, it's laughable.

The first statement from Harris is referencing the Jussie Smollett hoax hate crime. Blaming Trump for this dude's hoax. |

And this is the typical response. Ignore the ludicrous act of this desperate fool... then try to divert the conversation to something totally irrelevant to the issue.

That’s what I thought you were doing. None of these people are going to be elected in 2020. |

Kamala Harris is 2nd favourite to be the democrat nominee. |

Come on, admit that you'd never heard of this Jussie Smollett before last week. I'm certainly not embarrassed to admit that I hadn't; I'd never even heard of the TV show that he acts in.
So this random guy may have faked an attack for ... why? (could be to advance an anti-Trump narrative, could be for self-promotion, could be a desperate way of garnering sympathy from employers who were, allegedly, considering firing him from the show. Who knows?) And yet you're saying that not focusing on "the ludicrous act of this desperate fool" is somehow diverting from the conversation (about what? The fact that racial hate crimes exist in America, or that Trump has exacerbated those tensions?)
Harris's statement ultimately sums up the situation pretty well. It's the right-wingers swarming around this news story like seagulls who are really detached from reality, because they would like to think it reveals something deeper about society and thus validates their own desire to downplay racial violence. It doesn't do either.

not sure about Obama; other than the Kim Foxx connection.
but this is what the prosecutor said; hardly exoneration.

The FBI are still investigating the 'letter' , that would be a federal mail fraud case.
still doesn't look good for him .....

A wealthy celebrity with the right politics gets let off with a slap on the wrist in Shitcago? What a surprise.
Doesn't have anything to do with Trump's second term, except that it's another example of Democrat corruption in the cities. |
