It's sometimes as if Trump (or some advisers of his) have gone through historical media and chosen the worst imagery or phrases for him to use, like this one or "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Again and again, he find racist or Nazi things to do or say.

Joe delivers a strong message of unity and decency to a deeply hurt nation in need of clear leadership and hope for a better and fairer future for all.

And no innocent protestors exercising their constitutional rights were hurt.

You should review yesterday’s thread and apologize.

For what?

For calling you out for a misleading post, which you finally admitted was a mistake, but in the interm you accused me of calling you out due to some issues regarding race?

I said nothing wrong or inaccurate and treated you as I would any other asshole.

If an apology is warranted its you playing the race card, when a mere "I made a mistake" was called for.

But in the name of peace my black brother I am sorry you are so butt hurt over our disagrrements in the past and not ass-kicked you so completely

OK?

Now get over it.

This is the "triumphant" video that the White House turned out in a few hours of Trump's walk to the church, his waving the bible somebody handed him (assuming that is what it was), and then walking back, including pumping his fist as he walked past some National Guard folks.

There are some people who will eat it up. I imagine Kid is one of those and Bambi another. Ward will pretend to not disapprove.

But... for most of the country, it just reinforces how tone deaf he and his team are to what they'd just done.

Bambi, it would seem, is not representing what's actually going on in Australia.

This is a tweet and clip from 7 News Sydney. The video is from just before Trump's arrival. It shows the attack in front of the church, including the bashing of an Australian news team just doing their jobs and covering a peaceful group. They were only in the way in the most obnoxious definition: "We want to use this space and we are going to push you out without so much as a request that you move." - Obviously not a quote, since nothing was being said.

I made the admission when I said it was from 2016 at which point you showed your whole ass.

You made an accusation that I purposely misled and you were the only one who thought so or said same.

You insulted my integrity, my character and my intelligence.

And you were wrong.

Be a man and own it.

After the scene in front of the church, Trump's use of force to allow him to walk across the park prompted Arlington County, Va., to pull its police officers out of the nation's capitol.

Be a man and own it.

Knicks i specifically said I did not know if your mistake was intentional or not.

This is from the 3rd or 4th post in our exchange.


I saw the "fine" print and knew it was about Kap.

And then checked the link/article to confirm the content.

I did the fact checking.

Nonetheless when you post about White American disagreeing with protests this week you created a false impression.

Whether you intentionally tried to mislead the forum is known only to you.
I just called you out for misleading and less than above board posting.

And my point remains, try and do better if you can.


So again you make a false charge. I specifically posted whether your misleading post was intentional or not was unclear to me.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

It was only much later, and after your factless defensive bullshit about your imagined fantasies about my motivations,  that you finally admitted to making a mistake.

So whenever you want to apologize for your behavior and your baseless attacks on me, feel free to do so.

Or don't.

But in either case you should get over it.

And I own every word I posted about you.

None were false and you have managed to more than prove their accuracy.

The intention of the trek is not lost on us, fool.

The reality of it overwhelms the symbolism.

And your embracing of the use of force to evict peaceful protesters, media, and clergy from that church from in front of it to create a symbolic moment of that irreligious man standing there with somebody else's bible is illustrative of both Trump and you in ways that ought to make you ashamed and won't.

Weak? We're weak for not wanting our police and our national guard to be used to attack folks for NO FUCKING REASON?!

No, Kid.

Larry and Bank -

This back and forth is going nowhere.

You're not going to change each other's minds.

Can you both please just stop?

As has been mentioned on one or two occasions in the past, you truly are not obligated to respond to him each time.
