Re:  the apartments and keeping certain people out - loooks like it was a business decision.    Trump always all business. - But if blacks were involved - you go play that victim card all day and all night.

Looks to whom?

Quote
Most of those interviewed said they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.

The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.

A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.

Just business decisions.

Hi guys!

Trump was fucked when Ty Cobb quit.

Trump thinks he can baffle Mueller with his bullshit and if you wanted to win in the court of public opinion that’s all well and good, but Rudy’s Schlick won’t work in court. Don’t worry about impeachment even if Dems take the House, no way they get a majority in the Senate.

But poor Junior is in the unenviable position of having his tit caught in the wringer and he doesn’t do shit without telling daddy.

Manafort is also fucked, his case is all paper and he has a long track record. Manafort and Gates brought in Pence to be VP.

The only question is how does 5he nation clean up the mess.

Meanwhile, OH-12 is wild.

So what are Dems finally running on and winning with? Healthcare. Who woulda thunk it.

First step: GO to TWITTER!

John Brennan's tweet to Trump, for example....

Quote
“If there is a scintilla of decency left in you,” he tweeted on June 16, responding to a Trump boast about his poll numbers, “you would focus on your responsibilities, not on yourself.”

Well, thats the point isnt it?

The "tally" would include many whites as well as people of color.

No, Kiid.

What is the tally? You say he insults others just as much and in the same ways.


Seriously - are you going to be alright?

Forum - do we have someone keeping an eye on this guy.  I do worry.

I vote Mississippi.

Vegas would exacerbate your gambling proclivities.

I found it rather revealing when Trump started saying he was the least racist person on earth.

I thought for sure he'd say next that some of his best friends are dark hued.  Probably couldn't find a black friend to agree to that. 

Surprised he hasn't pointed to Ben Carson and said look at the fine Negro I picked to be Secretary of Darkies.

Easier to worry about me than to actually back up your claims.

Trump's a racist. Has been for all his adult life.

Kid's an apologist. Has been for as long as anybody here has known him. And barely an apologist - more like an excuse-maker.

You and Joe Arpaio, servicing the president, together again.

Here's another item about which for Kiid to make feeble excuses that don't do the job.

Trump's understanding of trade is about as good as Kiid's understanding of racism.

I wonder how much of what Trump does is instinctual and how much is calculated.  He seems to be just going off his gut.

Does he wonder if disparaging LeBron will have some backlash because LBJ is as famous as Trump?  Does he consider that most of his supporters will understand that he's saying blacks are inferior and the racial message will get through.  Or does he just say/do whatever comes into his head and figure that he's gotten this far just being a Trumpian asshole, why change or think about it now.

I'm guessing that Trump just feels being Trump is a winning strategy, that his followers will support him whatever he does, that if he makes a mistake or loses it's going to be on his own terms and not due to be being careful and advised.   Also, I just think this is who he is, and he isn't about to change and probably couldn't if he wanted to.

Kid, you totally deserve to live in Mississippi.

Trump misses Obama. That is why he is attacking LBJ. He thought he would like to be the center of attention, but now that he is the center of attention and the attentive see right through his bullshit, and there are so many more attentive than he thought, he doesn’t like the center so much. It makes him feel the cringing shame he used to feel when Roy Cohn would pass around his stash of donald trump nude pics to his friends or how he felt when his father would bring him to heel and make him beg and roll over.

I see why someone would want to move out of trump’s new tornado alley.
