What’s Obama have to do with it?

Context.  History is a great teacher.

Democrat leaders comments on Obama. "The first sort of mainstream African American", "who is articulate and bright and clean and a good looking guy", "light skinned", "with no negro dialect".

Boogie:  For the demographics their focused on reassuring this man is acceptable and best for the brand.  

geeblock: Its not about what you don't say but what you say.  He is popular, he is a good speaker, smart, upstanding, looks like us, and speaks our language

Meh sometimes being racist is as much about what you don’t say as it is about what you say. 

None of this is new.:

Just a different candidate targeted.

For the demographics he’s focused on, the racist angle is what is best for the brand, so that’s what he sticks with.

So what you are saying is 10's of millions of Americans that will vote for Trump are racist, indifferent to racism, or too stupid to figure it out.  Something like the "basket of deplorables".

It's funny, I feel like half this board likes it when Congress doesn't do anything or is in gridlock. Well, this is what you get. 

This sounds like extorsion.

Inept federal response black majority republican president.  Racism.  Inept federal response white rednecks democrat  president.     ???

Next in line to replace Nasrallah not heard from since Friday after an airstrike.  No more funds for Isreal.

Axelrod a democrat strategist says out loud what many are thinking.  The mentality of the elite.

Bet if NC, SC, TN & GA changed their name to "Ukraine" or "protected immigrant" they'd get that money.

I’d like to brag a bit about what I was allowed to participate in today. Breeze airlines based out of Charleston chartered a plane to Asheville, which they don’t fly to, to bring aid. We had about 20 airport employees, 10 Breeze employees, and 5 of my company employees. We had so much shit that they had to load stuff into the actual passenger part. Gatorade, formula, wipes, contractor bags, linens for hotels, sanitizer, Clorox wipes, etc. we unloaded an entire belly of the plane plus the onboard stuff. Private companies will always win the day. Can’t imagine what this cost, but I was lucky enough to go and help. 

The mission creeped right up on Hezbollah.  Complete intelligence breach.  Leaders picked off, the pagers, no deterrence, and their backers supreme leader wetting himself in a bunker in Iran.  A lot of Syrian rebels happy about these asshats getting dead.

The Hezbo big is dead along with other senior leadership and an Iranian general.  Meeting in the bunker interrupted.   Martyrdom is supposed to be for the other guys.  The muslims are big mad and the hand wringers are big worried so this means big success.

The reason Israel does not act sooner is the hand wringers.  It appears they have had it.

The success story in recent history for Israel is they continue to exist.

Also why were dudes responsible for killing 200+ marines alive decades later?

In the past couple of weeks Israel has just been picking off Hamas and Hezbollah high ranking officials. And in NYC the peaceful protestors openly supporting both terrorist organizations. So much for just sympathizing with Palestinians. 

Yes and some of them responsible for killing US marines in Beirut 40yrs ago.  They just targeted the Hezbollah big guy this Nasrallah dude.  Hopefully he is a goner.

Of course women and children are bearing the brunt.

There has never been a shortage of nutjobs.  Nor inflammatory rhetoric in the media and by politicians themselves.  The issue is that within the span of a few months two times nutjobs have been able to approach the same presidential candidate with long guns and equipment in what one would think is in an obviously preventable manner.

I wasn’t up on Laura Loomer, eating pets, Walz’s DUI, Kamala sleeping her way up, etc.  They all come about the same way.  

Loomer and the pet eating just this week.  Had not heard of Walz's DUI.  Kamala's personal activities have been in public discourse for well over a decade.

As for this pet eating if its a thing is it that far fetched.  I mean if you come from a shithole country where this is normal for survival some may continue to do so until taught otherwise.  Your always going to get the good the bad and the ugly.

We like in a time where there is any option for news media you want.  The “big, bad media” is a weak, weak argument.

I consider myself a pretty big consumer of media.  Until this week I never heard of Laura Loomer.  Yet today its in your face.  Had to google her.  Yes I found all the info I needed to make a judgement.  Yes we live in a time where we can find the truth or believe a lie.  But some outlets have a pretty big flashing sign that attracts attention.

It trickled down to this site so I commented.  As for the media.  There is no greater outlet to drive the masses than the media.  You know it, I know it, and those seeking power and influence know it.  The media is a preferred tool of any totalitarian regime.  So to write off as weak that powers seek to influence a media narrative and are successful at large outlets would be ignorant.

Question had you heard or were up to speed with this Loomer before this week?

Prior to this week I would have had no idea who Laura Loomer was.  Now thanks to the media I now know she is ripping the republican party apart and has been whispering in Trump's ear.

I love it that Dick Cheney (and his daughter) is endorsing Kamala. It gives credence to my theory that the parties are actively switching paradigms, which I've been pointing out for a long time. 

The Dems who used to be anti censorship, anti war and pro working class are now - pro censorship, pro war and anti working class. 

It also exposes the media.  Darth Cheney the warmonger is now a media darling.  What he thinks now matters.

Yes and no.

For example: when Germany surrendered the first time, the leaders of the other countries saw fit to impose the Treaty of Versailles in them. And we all know what that gave rise to in the years following. It ultimately didn't end well. 

The treaty of Versailles was in no way shape or form an unconditional surrender.  There was an armistice.  Then a treaty of punishment.  A treaty that actually continued the war at a low level mostly economic.  Germany was by no means pacified.  Just the opposite in fact.  The reignition of open hostilities began just 20yrs later.
