squistion

They didn't have look very hard for a reason to be offended here.

It is amazing. No one has blamed Kamala Harris for this.

You Go Girl! https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1829331750142578877 (Video clip from CNN at link) Q: I want to ask you about what Trump said last month. He suggested that you ‘happened to turn Black,’ questioning a core part of your identity Vice President Harris: Same old tired playbook. Next question please Q: That's it? Vice President Harris: That's it

Yes it is. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trumps-bad-hombres-draws-jeers-spanish-lessons To some, Trump’s ‘bad hombres’ is much more than a botched Spanish word PHOENIX — Donald Trump’s utterance of “bad hombres” offended some of the millions of people watching the final presidential debate, who called it racially divisive. Within minutes of using the phrase Wednesday evening, the Republican presidential nominee was getting a lashing about his mishmash of English and Spanish. “We have some bad hombres here, and we’re gonna get ’em out,” said Trump, whose rise to the party nomination was fueled in part by his plan to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. He blamed these “hombres,” (OHM-brays) Spanish for men, for drug epidemics around the U.S. Trump has worked to broaden his appeal to Hispanics, promising a better life if he’s president. But to some voters, it’s a lost cause. Taylor Brandreth watched the debate while visiting in Bradenton, Florida. He backed Trump in the primary in Virginia, where he works as a government consultant, but that was mainly to block Sen. Marco Rubio from clinching the GOP nomination. Now he’s a Hillary Clinton supporter, and it’s largely because of what he considers Trump’s racially divisive tactics, including the use of “Spanglish.” “I speak Spanish fluently. I have to honestly say, listening to it, my jaw just instantly dropped because it was like a taunt,” said Brandreth, 27. “There was nothing good in the context. It was like, ‘Let me say something awful and racist and let me butcher this other language while I’m doing it.'”

They certainly were when Trump first used that phrase.

I was just thinking we need another thread on this.

Latinos find it offensive, racist, and pejorative - so I will take their word for it.

It is not pretending. The term is Spanglish and considered pejorative and racist by Latinos. On more than one occasion, I proved it in the past with links to Hispanic groups and individuals who found its use extremely offensive. But as you can see, it didn't do any good with the OP, so I am not taking the time to research it again.

The guy was in a daily posting frenzy, posting numerous extremely long threads, all with a half dozen detailed links, quote, videos, and questions. It must have taken a couple hours of research/preparation just for each one. Those on the right said Gordo "owned the libs" but the reason liberals didn't engage him is because no one had the attention span or the interest to scroll through and respond to his verbose rants/diatribes. After one posts like that for years they don't stop unless they are permabaned (which didn't happen) or are unable due to death or incapacitation. So, either he is not with us or became unable to post any longer (perhaps due to dementia which arguably he was demonstrating). Whatever the reason we won't be seeing him again.

So Fox couldn't find a Caravan coming north to scare us with, so they made a new boogeyman with Venezuelan gangs.

Bad Hombres? A phrase that exists in neither English or Spanish. Let the blatant racism continue.

No it doesn't clearly mean that, being involved in something is not the same thing as being in control of it. You need to take a course in semantics.

You didn't define Communism because 1) You really don't know what it is or 2) It doesn apply to anything Kamala has done or said. The fact that the government is involved in some policy does not make it Communism.

Not the "communism" card again. Please define Communism and explain how anything Kamala has done or proposed is Communistic. TIA.

Maybe in your world, but not on the planet I'm living on.

I must admit I don't have "Trump calls Fox News polls rigged and worthless" on my bingo card. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-fox-news-polls/ Trump attacks 'rigged and worthless' Fox News polls by posting confidential campaign memo Former President Donald Trump lashed out at a new series of Fox News polls showing him losing must-win battleground states on Thursday. In a post on his Truth Social page, Trump labeled the recent polls "rigged and worthless" and then posted an internal campaign memo that slammed Fox News for its polling in 2020 that underestimated Trump's chances in the same swing states. The Fox News polls in question show Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by one point in Arizona, and by two points in both Nevada and Georgia. The polls also show Harris within just one point of Trump in North Carolina, which was a state he won in both 2016 and 2020.

What has she done or said to indicate that she hates America?

He has no sense of decorum or what is proper behavior in public (like what is inacceptable in a cemetary).

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1829177193987002818 New: The Army is now rebuking Trump campaign staff over the Arlington National Cemetery incident. "Participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds. An ANC employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside." "This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation's fallen deserve."

Plus it wasn't the same people he kept coning for decades. You think anybody would work for him twice after he refused to pay them unless they accept 10 cents on the dollar for the work they had performed?

https://x.com/bkesling/status/1829128262808691192 1/ The Trump campaign at Arlington controversy can be confusing. Here it is, broken down simply. You can’t bring your own photography crew to Arlington without permission… 2/ You can’t have your photo crew take photos even if one family consents. That’s because other graves are included in those photos. And those families haven’t given permission. More importantly, grieving families shouldn’t feel pressured by powerful people to give consent. 3/ Section 60 is noteworthy because the graves are those of troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. People visiting those graves aren’t distant relatives. It’s moms and dads and wives and husbands and kids and friends and fellow troops. The grief is still very present. 4/ The staff at Arlington aren’t being political when they prevent photo crews from taking unauthorized photos. The staff is being apolitical. They’re being professional. They’re upholding the dignity of Arlington. 5/5 I have been to Arlington many times and I have never seen someone grinning and giving a thumbs up for a photo. I’ve never seen it because it’s not something you do at Arlington if you know anything about the place, and the men and women who are buried there.

No she didn't "literally" call him a racist. And if Biden thought that she had, he never would have chosen here as VP IMO.

So are Venezuela gangs the 2024 version of The Caravan?
