Listen...I'm sick of the categories...the pigeon holes! First and foremost, I'm an American. I happen to be a person of color! Why do most (if not all) of the politicians/pundits think that the aforementioned folks are a homogenous group who all think alike?
Don't tell me that African Americans think this or they are against that! Then Latino Americans are thinking this or that! Hell...there are black folks who even think that Donald Trump should be President!!!
When I listen to the politicians/pundits, I ignore it all and the first thing I think about is what's best for this country! Not who will help ""The Blacks", "The Latinos" or any other minorities...but who will move America forward!
Did I mention I'm sick of it!!!
P.S.
OK folks of color (and everyone else)...if you want to compete...and get a leg up in this world...it's all about education!!! It's also about being informed of what's going on in this world! Get an education and the sky is the limit! Did I mention an education???
The Final Five! Coached by a former "Illegal Immigrant"!
Márta Károlyi is the Hungarian-Romanian gymnastics coach of the "Final Five" and the national team coordinator for USA Gymnastics. She and her husband, Béla, are ethnic Hungarians from Transylvania, Romania, and trained athletes in Romania, but defected to the United States in 1981. Béla and Márta Károlyi have trained nine Olympic champions, fifteen world champions, sixteen European medalists and many U.S. national champions.
Just put in my order for J.D. Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" book! It's gotta be an awesome read! Perhaps it will help me better understand the "other side"?
New York Times reporters have spent over a year covering Donald J. Trump’s rallies, witnessing so many provocations and heated confrontations at them that the cumulative effect can be numbing: A sharp sting that quickly dulls from repetition.
How cool would it be that the pivotal point in this years' Presidential campaign centered on the Donald's denunciation of the Khan family?
Justice would be served!
It wasn't just his attack/response to the Khans that elevated my pressure and disdain for this self-centered, incompetent wacko...it's what he said about Mrs. Khan...that she probably wasn't allowed to have anything to say...and his (Trump's) sacrifices!!!
"Trump initially did not have the courage to respond directly to Khan. Instead he smarmily attacked Khan’s wife, Ghazala, who had stood silently on the stage. “She was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”
Then there are the lies...and some of the instant flip-flops!
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the Republican presidential candidate said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."
"I have a relationship with Vladmir Putin...I spoke with him"...nevermind! "I never met Vladmir Putin"! "I don't know who he is"!
"I will ban/screen ALL Muslims from entering the United States"! Nevermind! Just those from countries that harbor terrorists!
Debates Schedule: "I got a letter from the NFL"! NFL response: We never sent a letter!
"I turned down a meeting with the Koch brothers"! Nevermind! Koch brothers said no meeting was requested!
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
Trump denied he had business interests in Russia — though it is known that he earned millions from staging his Miss Universe pageant there.
Trump called Obama “the most ignorant president in our history.”
The VETERANS!!!
Trump said he’d raised $6 million for veterans, but that wasn’t true. He later claimed he never used the $6 million figure, but that wasn’t true. His campaign insisted Trump had contributed $1 million himself, but that wasn’t true. Trump said he “didn’t want to have credit” for the fundraising efforts, but that wasn’t true. He said he and his team were vetting groups they’d never heard of four months after the fact, but that wasn’t true.
What's even scarier than all of the above, is the number of right wing, red-necked Rethuglicans that think this wacko is worthy of being the President of the United States! It's f**king scary!!!
