When a white male elected official stands in front of a podium and calmly says he hopes the Supreme Court overturns the 14th Amendment,
(The 14th Amendment was passed after slavery to guarantee Black people citizenship and equal protection under the law in America.)
It’s full fucking stop. Period.
Fuck the Met Gala.
Fuck relationship podcasts.
Fuck the NBA playoffs.
Fuck the summer.
Fuck spending money.
Fuck all this shit.
It’s time to shut this shit the fuck down.
I have to admit my huge miscalculation on race relations. In 2009 when Obama became the president, I thought that America was on road to racial unity. Boy, was I wrong.
I was a firefighter in Detroit for 34 years. To my surprise (naivety), I started hearing white firefighters around me saying disparaging things about Obama. They somehow seemed to hate him.
Many called Obama the most racially dividing president we've ever had. These were men I'd risked my life with for 20 or 30 years, coming out as racists.
That was the start of our current racial divide, not because Obama separated the races. But, because his skin color separated the races.
Then came Trump, a known racist. He gave racists the ability to stand up and proudly be racist. I saw white firefighters around me embrace Trump and try to tell me how he's done more for Black Americans than any other president.
Today, American racists are as proud as they can possibly be as their president destroys any and everything black. Including his new Obama ape video.
Trump is currently seeking paths to remain in power forever and he must be stopped.
Well, I was definitely wrong about racial unity and today we are on a road to increasing white power (Making America Great Again).
The one good thing that Trump has done is expose the racists we really didn't know about.
I think it's time for Democrats to stop being so docile and to go on the offense. One man should not be allowed to destroy a nation.
At least there’s no questions about it anymore. He finally made it plain and simple for everyone. So, please stop saying it’s not what or who he is. If you support him, you support that! No excuses!
Everything Trump does—every shot fired at an unarmed mother, every starving baby denied USAID nutrition, every racist tweet about the Obamas—was aided and abetted by every Trump voter.
Trump never disguised himself.
Trump has never surprised us & he never will.
I just think it’s funny how if Kamala Harris would have did this, the level of criticism, derision, and scorn, would have been damn near apocalyptic.
I also think it’s funny how all those people who were so obsessed with Kamala Harris’ role as VP suddenly have nothing to say.
How come its OK for Pat McAfee to use his sports platform to comment on politics, and, well, pretty much any sports show to platform conservative politics, but @jemelehill was criticized for making her sports show too political?
Anyone?
Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy.
Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal.
Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy.
It’s an incel platform, dude.
It’s SUPER weird.
And people need to know.
The Aileen Cannon decision proves that the institutions, and the institutionalists, have failed.
At some point, people have to stop PRETENDING the rule of law exists, and confront the reality that it doesn’t.

Me: Yeah the debate was bad, but I'm sure that the Supreme Court wildin' out will refocus the narrative on what's important.
SCOTUS: PRESIDENTS ARE KINGS
Trump: I had Epstein on speed dial.
RFK: I ate a dog.
Me: See.
Media: BIDEN MUST DROP OUT OF THE RACE
Me: [deep sigh]
If you're 42 years old or older, the most important election of your lifetime was 2000. If you're 26-42, the most important election of your lifetime was 2016.
If you're under 26, but old enough to vote, you haven't fucked up yet, but are about to.
