What an idiot!

Interesting that lifelong Republicans are supporting Biden but woke white dudes think they are too pure to do so. Trump enablers and idiots!

If Donald Trump were to become a registered Democrat, would you support him?

If Lindsey Graham were to become a registered Democrat, would you support him?

If Jeff Sessions were to become a registered Democrat, would you support him?

If Mitch McConnell were to become a registered Democrat, would you support him?

If you answered no, then ask yourself why would any Democrat support Michelle Caruso-Cabrera?

She was a life long conservative Republican who only left the GOP in 2015. She only became a Democrat and moved to Queens a year ago. She has publicly voiced many right wing opinions on issues in her book, for years as a CNBC host as well as on other TV shows and venues including privatizing both Social Security and Medicare. Opinions that she has never publicly reversed. And her campaign is being funded by Wall Street CEOs.

So why are so many supporting her?

Anyone see Maher last night?

In his monologue he said this:

“They’re calling it ‘Defund the Police,’ which sounds bad! That is so Democrats for you. They must have meetings to be this fucking stupid about politics. ‘Hey, guys, we’re making some headway here, um, how can we turn this into something that makes people have to vote for Trump?'”


He also brought this up later in the show.

I find this curious in that I was unaware of the party or any major Democrat supporting the policy or using the slogan. Am I mistaken?

Could/Should Police Unions be classified as hate groups?

Just asking the question.

My mom died this morning.

Thankfully she went peacefully. She was 87 and had a long and full life. I don't wish to grieve but to celebrate her life.

As a young women she joined the local democratic club and eventually rose to be co-leader of that club. She became a state committee woman and served as state party co-chair as well as on the DNC. In her later years she sat on an advisory board to the state's department of elections and convinced them to adopt optical scan paper ballots so there would always be a paper trail in state elections.

Let her be an inspiration that one person can make a difference.

MSNBC's Eddie Glaude Shades Biden After Widely-Lauded Speech:

MSNBC’s Eddie Glaude Shades Biden After Widely-Lauded Speech: His Words Need to ‘Rise to the Level’ of Our Problems
By Ken Meyer

MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude Jr. said Joe Biden did not go far enough in addressing America’s problems driven to the forefront after George Floyd’s fatal police arrest.

The ex-veep and gave a speech on the country’s social unrest Tuesday, and it drew early positive reviews among political observers because of how Biden contrasted himself from President Donald Trump by stressing the need for racial justice. When Glaude offered his reaction to the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidate’s remarks, he acknowledged Biden’s expression of empathy, but then said he “struggled” with the question of “whether or not the scale of [Biden’s] response matches the scale of the problem.”

“I think it’s absolutely a good beginning to begin to talk about chokeholds, but I think he needs to be talking about qualified immunity. I think he needs to be talking about demilitarization and decriminalization. That’s a good beginning,” Glaude said. “But I think he needs to offer a set of remedies that actually rise to the level of the problems we face.”

For the record I do not agree with Mr. Glaude and remember him constantly attacking Hillary Clinton in 16.

Who should I trust more about Biden's fitness to be the nominee and President?

Some woke white dude living in Williamsburg in an apartment paid for by his parents or Jim Clyburn who has fought for civil rights and served the people for over 50 years? Just curious.
