@sarobertson_@NightShiftMD So he met an uninformed woman (maybe) who made a bad decision, and now we are supposed to be devastated at the state of Canada?
Trump’s obsession with the Obamas has never been political. It has always been personal, racial, and ugly.
First, he spent years pushing the racist birther conspiracy against President Obama. Then he shared content depicting the Obamas as apes. Recently, a fighter stood in the White House and referred to Michelle Obama as a man, and the White House said nothing. Now Trump is publicly referring to Barack Obama as a “stupid son of a bitch.”
The pattern is impossible to ignore.
MAGA’s problem has never been that Barack and Michelle Obama failed. Their problem is that the Obamas succeeded. They cannot stand the fact that a brilliant Black man became President of the United States and that a brilliant, accomplished Black woman became one of the most admired First Ladies in American history.
So they resort to what racists have always resorted to: dehumanization.
They question Barack Obama’s legitimacy. They question Michelle Obama’s womanhood. They compare them to animals. They mock them. They insult them. They attempt to strip them of the dignity routinely afforded to white public figures.
And then they wonder why people call them racist.
No, this is not about policy disagreements. People disagree about politics every day. This is about a movement that repeatedly reaches for racist tropes whenever the Obamas are involved.
Barack and Michelle Obama will be remembered as historic figures who served this nation with intelligence, grace, and dignity.
The people obsessed with demeaning them are simply revealing themselves as vile, denonic, racist, human refuse.
Why do Republicans say AOC is “just a bartender” when she has a masters in economics, but they don’t say Markwayne Mullin is just a plumber?
HINT: racism and misogyny
Canadian CPC Conservatives are manufacturing a fake narrative.
They claim Prime Minister Carney broke a promise to secure a fast trade deal with the US.
This right-wing rage is based on a lie.
Look at the official statements from the Prime Minister of Canada website.
Carney NEVER used the word "promise". Instead, he used very choice wording.
He stated his goal was simply to "negotiate with the United States" while remaining "laser focused on what we can control".
Carney actually delivered on what he said.
He aggressively diversified our economy by forging massive trade partnerships across four continents.
This included a historic free-trade deal with Indonesia.
CPC Conservatives need to stop crying foul over phrasing...
Carney gave us strategy and defiance, not an absolute promise for an American signature.
Don't bring it up again. I'm sick of you guys thinking that you know what you're talking about when you don't even listen and you don't read.
I'm so glad I'm not affiliated with this loser braindead CPC party anymore.
