basilico:
till, her home state’s high rate of
incarcerating people of color goes a long
way in explaining the trouble she has had
selling her candidacy to black voters
nationwide. In California and many other
states, racial disparities in imprisonment
have intensified resentments of what
many see as deeply ingrained
discrimination in America’s criminal
justice system.
“Communities of color, they have a hard
time trusting you when you are connected
with law enforcement,” said Yvette
McDowell, a black attorney and former
Pasadena prosecutor who is undecided in
the Democratic presidential race.
It doesn't take long for MAGAs to show themselves. This is from the Trump Campaign

Biden taps Kamala Harris as running mate, setting aside tensions from primary

Kamala Harris, the politically shrewd California senator with a law enforcement background that has caused some tensions with the progressive left, was announced Tuesday as Joe Biden’s running mate.

She makes history as the first Black woman to serve as a major political party’s VP pick. The Biden campaign said Biden and Harris will deliver remarks together on Wednesday in Wilmington, Delaware.

"I’ve decided that Kamala Harris is the best person to help me take this fight to Donald Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021," Biden said in an email to supporters

Pro-Trump duo Diamond and Silk launch new program on Newsmax TV

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/511353-pro-trump-duo-diamond-and-silk-launch-new-program-on-newsmax-tv

Diamond and Silk launched a new program on Newsmax TV over the weekend, four months after Fox News parted ways with the staunch supporters of President Trump.

The duo, whose real names are Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, debuted "Diamond and Silk Crystal Clear" on Saturday night on the cable channel.

Newsmax TV — run by Chris Ruddy, a friend of President Trump's who once contributed $1 million to the Clinton Foundation — has added several shows to its lineup in recent months, including former White House press secretary Sean Spicer's "Spicer & Co." and former Fox-5 "Good Day New York" co-host Greg Kelly for "Greg Kelly Reports.

Republicans On Reddit Are Sharing The Things That Made Them Stop Supporting Trump

https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/trump-supporters-share-regrets-reddit-2020-election

Last week, a Reddit thread by user PlG3 posed a question to the internet: "If you voted for Donald Trump in 2016 but won't in 2020, what changed your mind?"

The thread quickly went viral, garnering nearly 30,000 replies in just a few days. Here are some of the top-voted responses from self-described former Trump supporters:

1. "I was barely 18 when I voted. I was still a senior in high school. I grew up in an extremely conservative town with opinionated parents and a lack of 'access' to the outside world (I wasn't allowed on any social media). Then I went to college and met people of other races/creeds/sexualities, and I learned empathy."

2. "I voted and then went to the grocery store with a couple of my younger children. There was a very nice young Hispanic kid working and he helped me put stuff in my car so he could collect my buggy. He noticed my 'voted' sticker on my child and asked me who I voted for. I was instantly hesitant to answer truthfully and I realized I felt shame."
—texasmama5

3. "When he appointed a Goldman Sachs executive as Secretary of the Treasury...drain the what? All downhill from there."
—Deftone007

4. "I was 24. I’ve grown. Matured. Found empathy for others. Honestly, I started to grow frustrated with the constant tweeting, lies, and whataboutism. I also stopped watching Fox News."
—based_nero_

5. "The gassing of protesters for a photo op at a church was the final nail in a coffin riddled with them."

Trump says '1917' Spanish flu 'probably ended Second World War' in historical blunders
The US president suggests the pandemic, which began in 1918, brought an end to the conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945.


https://news.sky.com/story/trump-says-1917-spanish-flu-probably-ended-second-world-war-in-historical-blunders-12047035

Donald Trump has said the Spanish flu "probably ended the Second World War" - despite the conflict having started almost two decades later.

The US president incorrectly stated the pandemic began in 1917, one year before the first cases were reported in 1918.

Speaking at a White House news conference, Mr Trump suggested the illness had a bearing on the conclusion of the Second World War, which lasted from 1939 until 1945.

Mr Trump made the remarks while discussing the current coronavirus pandemic, which has seen more than 163,000 people in the US die with the virus.

The president was later escorted out of the briefing due to a shooting outside the White House.

For those that dont know how to analyze news who believe everything said on the news...i want to give you a clue...maybe you will understand.

In Lebanon...there was political protest for like 3 months, some people wants the prime minister and his government to resign, the government didnt resign because of that the imf decided not to give Lebanon about 10billion usd loan, then came the blast, killing about 164 people, suddenly, the western powers especially france donated some amount, but said before Lebanon will receive the donation, government must do reforms. Now about 4 ministers have resign

If you are a logical person to see the big picture, you will understand that the blast was a planned work to deliberately change the government of Lebanon , the strategy is simple, undermine the government, put fear on the people that they end up not supporting the govt, the govt will collapse on it own.

If you like say it is conspiracy theory but every student of political science will tell you this, everything in politics is planned.
My goodness, what kind of rubbish is this!!!

Mnuchin threatens to make taxpayers pay back COVID money unless Trump is reelected

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/mnuchin-threatens-to-make-taxpayers-pay-back-money-unless-trump-is-reelected/

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin suggested on Sunday that Americans will have to pay the government back for any payroll tax reduction unless President Donald Trump is reelected.

In an interview on FOX, host Chris Wallace noted that the president’s latest executive action on COVID-19 financial relief is “not a tax cut.”

“It’s a payroll tax suspension,” Wallace explained. “Isn’t there a danger that a lot of businesses won’t pass these saving through to workers because they’re going to hold on to the money because at some point, according to this executive action by the end of the year, those payroll taxes are going to be have to be paid anyway?”

“Well, the president wanted to do a payroll tax cut,” Mnuchin replied. “We could do the payroll tax deferral. He’s going to go to the American people and tell them that when he’s reelected, he will push through legislation to forgive that so, in essence, it will turn into a payroll tax cut.”

The saddest part of this Trumpvirus is that Americans can't even go to Europe or Canada which is just about 7 hours drive from my house in Chicago. The Bahamas which is just about 80 miles from the shores of America don't want us in their Carribean Island paradise. How low can we get with the inept Cockwomble leading our beautiful Nation. The only thing majority of Americans are waiting for now is the election on Nov 3rd.
Trudeau and his government have really managed the corona virus in Canada, no drama but they have taken full responsibility in bringing down the death rate. So not suprised that Americans are banned.

One of Trump's Evangelicals:

Liberty University's Jerry Falwell Jr. taking leave of absence

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-walker-calls-for-falwells-resignation-from-liberty-university

Jerry Falwell Jr. has agreed to take an indefinite leave of absence from his role as president and chancellor of Liberty University, the school announced Friday.

Falwell is a key figure in the evangelical Christian community, and helped garner support for President Trump during his campaign.

The Liberty University president has apologized for the photo, but said that it was all in good fun.

“I’ve apologized to everybody,” Falwell said in an interview this week with a local radio station located in Lynchburg, Va.

Falwell said that the woman in the photo was his “wife’s assistant” who was on the trip with them.

“She’s pregnant, so she couldn’t get her pants up,” he said in the interview. “And I had on pair of jeans that I hadn’t worn in a long time so I couldn’t get mine zipped either. And so I just put my belly out like hers.”

The photo has been deleted, but critics have deemed Falwell a hypocrite, citing the Christian university 's rules of conduct, which require “modest” attire for students while on campus.

“If you're running the largest Christian university in America maybe don't put photos of yourself on social media with your pants undone on a yacht - with random women in bad wigs,” Meghan McCain tweeted this week.

According to an extensive investigation into a National Intelligence Estimate complied by various U.S. intelligence agencies last July, the New York Times is reporting that a key “finding” indicating that Russian President Vladimir Putin is highly interested in keeping Donald Trump in the Oval Office past 2020 was omitted by officials fearing the president’s wrath.

However one of the key findings, under the category of “key judgments,” listed “Key Judgment 2 was that in the 2020 election, Russia favored the current president: Donald Trump.”
