Yeah, this is a way to make a buck while smearing Trump over nothing. A $2M advance...money laundering, the DC way! </snip>The memoir is expected to claim that Trump’s “transgressions” went well beyond the Ukraine saga that led to his impeachment and alleged that “reelection calculations” drove the president’s major decisions, according to a press release for the book. </snip> Edited June 17, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1
Koko78 Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 1 hour ago, ALF said: Trump signs Uyghur human rights bill on same day Bolton alleges he told Xi to proceed with detention camps "With only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," Bolton writes. "The National Security Council's top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China." The US State Department estimates that more than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained by the Chinese government in internment camps, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor and death." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/politics/trump-uyghur-human-rights-bolton-china/index.html Gotta love third-hand nonsense smears. 2

It wasn't resolved a long time ago because has a life long history of alienating and pissing off most of the people who work for him. It works in a family office, but no so much outside of it. That was my biggest fear with his assuming the office. 1

The person filming never stops filming the incident. I have no idea if anyone called the police. Awesome! Where is this place. What a buying opportunity for a real estate investment. It looks like one could make a killing there.

B-Man Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Dick Durbin Has a White Fragility Problem by Andrew Stiles Original Article Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) had some choice words to describe Sen. Tim Scott's (R., S.C.) police reform bill. "What we say on the Democratic side is we can not waste this historic moment, this singular opportunity," Durbin said on the Senate floor while discussing the legislation proposed by Scott, who is black. "Let's not do something that is a token, half-hearted approach." As Durbin is almost certainly aware, "token" is a problematic, racially charged term used to denigrate the accomplishments of people of color. Will he get in trouble like a GOP senator would ? surely you jest. 1
B-Man Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 “WE ARE ALL SOCIALIST NOW,” THE WASHINGTON POST* ADMITTED IN 2009, AND THE PAPER’S MAOIST STRUGGLE SESSIONS HAVE NOW BEGUN: WashPost Exposes Its Own Cartoonist Tom Toles Lying About Friend in Blackface at His House. The intensity of feelings about race inside newsrooms is leading to surprising revelations. On Wednesday afternoon, The Washington Post reported that its own staunchly liberal political cartoonist Tom Toles allowed a woman to wear blackface at his 2018 Halloween party – mocking Megyn Kelly’s comments about children’s Halloween costumes on Today – and then lied to people who were upset, claiming he didn’t know who she was. This is the same Tom Toles who did a cartoon comparing Obamacare opponents to segregationist Alabama Democrat George Wallace, and the same cartoonist who mocked opponents of political correctness, claiming they thought ‘I am so sick of not being able to insult and belittle women and minorities.” * * * * * * * * Sean Davis of The Federalist tweeted out this story, tsk-tsking: “The blackface is coming from inside the Washington Post. These are the people who’ve appointed themselves the arbiters of who is and is not racist.” The Post goes on to note that the woman who wore the blackface has since been fired after being outed by the paper: Schafer said she has learned in recent weeks, as protests have sparked new conversations about race, that racism “runs so much more deeply than I’d thought. I should know. I’m Jewish and my grandmother was a child slave for two years. I’ve hung my head for months. I hurt people in my carelessness.” She said she understands Gruber and Prince’s “pain and their consternation and their hurt. Clearly, I didn’t understand the history of blackface enough. I failed completely, but I’m not a malicious person.” Schafer wrote an email to Tom and Gretchen Toles the day after the party, saying that she had “made a huge mistake. I’m very sorry I ruined the evening for some of your guests.” She said she would like a chance to tell Gruber in person how sorry she is: “With this story, they’ll get the public humiliation they want, but it won’t foster any real dialogue between us. I wish they would talk to me. I made a mistake, and I understand now that when black people make a mistake, they can get killed.” On Wednesday, after Schafer informed her employer, a government contractor, about the blackface incident and The Post’s forthcoming article, she was fired, she said. Exit question from Newsbusters’ Tim Graham: “Now the PC Police have come for Toles, and his lady friend who upset the minorities – and the Post is outing the whole thing. Will he get fired after the newsroom erupts in outrage? If an editor can lose his job for a mere headline of ‘Buildings Matter, Too,’ why not Toles?” * Via the cover of its then-subsidiary publication, Newsweek. UPDATE: Democracy dies in doxxing: 1
