This thread should be renamed Racism at The Geek Club. After this does anyone doubt what the OP thinks of Black people?

So, all these polls are that show Trump's support among Latinos in a nosedive are biased? Really?

It is appalling. Can you imagine the reaction if any other President had said that to a reporter? I doubt any of his supporters in this forum will have a problem with it. Edited to add: If she had stood up to him, I am certain she would have been removed from the WH press pool.

I get the feeling that the OP is probably not a fan of the Jazz funerals that are held in New Orleans either.

Exactly. Reading is fundamental. From the OP: Enten stressed that the trend runs across multiple polls, not just the CBS News/YouGov figures he had on the big screen: “20, 25, 30 point shifts… away from Donald Trump among Latinos overall.”

Hell Toupee starting a thread on fake news once again.

Trump and Latino voters is a topic that definitely deserves its own thread, particularly in the coming year and the 2026 elections. Trump and the GOP have lost a significant segment of Latino voters that they will never ever regain. They have created a solid voting block for Democrats for decades (and this was foreseeable).

There are 42 million Americans on SNAP. This is just a delaying tactic to pay out benefits to people, most of whom really need so they don't go hungry. How long will it take the government to process and evaluate the elgibility for these 42 million people? People could easily go for 6 months to a year (maybe longer) before they are reapproved and the benifits start again.

Nothing said since that hasn't been proven. AI Overview It has been widely reported in the media that investigators have linked Thomas Crooks to online accounts, including a DeviantArt page, but there has been no independent official confirmation from the FBI or Secret Service that the accounts definitively belonged to him.

Donald Trump says he wants the states to handle their own natural disasters instead of FEMA. https://x.com/ArtCandee/status/1882824426791837831 (video clip of Trump at link) Brilliant! This should really go over with the Red states having to deal with hurricanes on their own. Fun Fact: Florida, Louisiana, and Texas receive the most FEMA dollars: from 2015 to August 2024—Florida received $2.5 billion, Louisiana $2.4 billion, and Texas $2.3 billion.

https://x.com/Ex_Nihilo_x/status/1990501726089326874 Travis @Ex_Nihilo_x @grok is it true that on DevianArt That if a user doesn't specify or actively hides their pronouns in account settings, the site defaults to displaying "they/ them" on their profile? Grok @grok Yes, DeviantArt defaults to displaying "they/them" pronouns on profiles if users don't specify otherwise or choose to hide them.

Well, that settles it.

I don't see how anyone could cheer that, it's like something out of Germany in the 30's with the Jews.

"Because nothing says Protect The Children like masked men storming a preschool and dragging parents away"

Do you kiss "the luckiest girl in the world" with that mouth? If so, maybe she isn't that lucky.

Trump with the American Flag on the ground pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

Nightclubs that play reggaeton music on Saturday nights decided not to open. And Catholic churches, which tend to have many immigrant parishioners, were unusually empty on Sunday morning. The Trump administration crackdown on illegal immigrants arrived in Charlotte this weekend, resulting in 81 arrests on Saturday. It continued on Sunday, with Border Patrol agents fanning out across the largest city in North Carolina. An immigrant rights group said the tally, reported by a senior Border Patrol official on social media, was the largest number of immigrant arrests in the state’s recent history. The presence of the agents, led by Gregory Bovino, who directed similar operations in Chicago and Los Angeles this year, has startled people in one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Much of that growth has been spurred by international migration, especially from Latin America. The city is also home to large corporations in the retail, banking and manufacturing sectors. The increase in immigration has drawn the attention of Trump administration officials, who have been targeting communities with large immigrant populations for enforcement efforts. The North Carolina operation, dubbed “Charlotte’s Web” — a reference to the children’s book that tells the story of friendship and an effort to save the life of a beloved barnyard pig — has already drawn criticism for its aggressive tactics, with local officials telling people to record their interactions with agents. Mr. Bovino has already declared the North Carolina mission to be a success, confirming the 81 arrests in a social media post on X. He also posted photos of six detained people who he said had criminal histories. Neither Mr. Bovino, who is from western North Carolina, nor the Department of Homeland Security has said exactly how many of the 81 people arrested on Saturday had criminal histories. [...]

They revel in it. Sad.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-threatens-federal-takeover-of-dc-after-attack-on-former-doge-worker Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation’s capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was among the most visible figures of Trump’s DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple’s car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington’s autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as “out of control.” “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
