Trump called for the execution of black teens (before they were tried) in the late ‘80s, then after they were exonerated AFTER serving time for a crime they didn’t commit he still considers them guilty.


He rose to political prominence while pushing the conspiracy theory that USA’s first black president was secret Muslim from Africa. He also defended white supremacists after racist violence and murder in Charlottesville.

The last GOP speaker denounced Trump saying no place for racism in GOP but campaigned for him because he didn’t a Democrat to win...

That’s what amorality looks like.
Sounds like great issues to campaign against. But there is no amorality in any of your examples.

Thank you!

You illustrated my points about both you and your party perfectly there!

Wow. I could not have scripted it better.
Well, only if you disregard the definition of amoral.
Which you did.

"lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something."
and?

Well proven! I accuse you of lacking moral sense and you say "and?"

Such a waste of space you are.

I point out things the GOP did. You point the finger at Obama.

To the extent that Obama did them, it was wrong of him, too, but your pointing the fingers elsewhere is because even you cannot effectively deny that the GOP was complicit in it under Trump.

Amoral.

You claim nobody was denied an ability to vote. The Supreme Court disagreed with you. The NC Supreme Court disagreed with you.

RACIST SCUM.

Lie, deny, and obfuscate.

You are Amoral by EVERY dictionary's definition.

Difference between the parties?

Virginia Democrats have gone from:

“Northam should resign” to “Northam MUST resign” to “Yo, Ralph! GET THE FUCK OUT!”

GOP?

Gonna “streamline” the primary process to assure Trump has no challengers.

A friend today provided me the single simplest definition for the GOP and its remaining adherents, like our very own world class hypocrite, RedStateWard, and special emphasis on the Evangelicals:

And this is the sort of thing that the GOP continues to allow, accepting the trade-off of kidnapped kids still separated from their familes, and with the administration still balking at returning them to their families! It's a burden, explained the administration - but a burden of their own making, by the intentional failure to keep records.

I had to check to make sure this is current news, but it is. New filings about kidnappings that the administration just happened to have failed to previously admit to.

THOUSANDS.

And DimBulb's okay with it. Kiiid will tell you he isn't. but it isn't anything he's worked up about.

Speaking of children...

The last 4 asylum-seeker children still on Nauru will be departing the island soon...they and their families are to be resettled in America. Obama and Turnbull struck a deal.
Obama is no longer President and Turnbull is no longer Prime Minister.

Mary Poppins branded racist by US academic - for 'blacking up' in iconic sweeps' rooftop scene

Dame Julie Andrews’ performance as Mary Poppins is racist, says a US academic who accuses her of ‘blacking up’ when her face is covered with soot as she dances with chimney sweeps.

Last time I looked soot was black.

Maybe there'll be a protest march...white people in black face holding placards reading "Save Mary Poppins"..."Save Dame Julie".

"If you lose control or your borders, you lose control of your country" - Tony Abbott ...just now on my no 1 radio station 2gb.com

Trump can see it clearly...most Americans cannot [judging by their recent words and actions].
Or can, but inspired by other agendas, don't care if it happens.

If we all are held accountable for any bigotry we harbored in our youth, does that mean we deny public service to talented people?  (and who would be left to serve?)   
LOL  I think you are a little late to the party with that observation. Maybe because the latest 'victim' has a  d next to his ballot name.

I see the apples/bergamots point has already been made, so I'll leave you to your lolling.
How convenient for you to then simply compare apples to bergamonts even though I didn't.

I didn't say Northam wasn't a cooked goose.
But every one from Nancy Pelosi on down has.  Bully for you if you think he got screwed by the Bully PCers.  But remember Northam was not shy about using the race card against his opponent .

Just as I felt I couldn't trust Kavanaugh on scotus, I understand people not trusting Northam now.  Medical school is pretty late to still be that clueless.  Regardless of D or R next to a ballot name.
Kavanaugh was in HIGH SCHOOL and his accuser proved to be a liar.  Northam was not accused of anything.  But a picture was published and, almost immediately, he apologized. Now he says the pic was not of him and the usage of it on his yearbook page could have been in error.
I don't think Northam is a racist nor was he ever whatever the truth is about the picture.
But the party who has screamed racism or worse at any flimsy evidence now is caught with a lot of toothpaste to be put back in the tube.

Steve King is still in the House... so is Steve Scalise.

Scalise spoke to a White Supremacy group and claimed afterwards he didn't know they were.

Not exactly.  But likely what Larry is talking about....

Small potatoes.  I am sure Larry likes Cedric Richmond, who backed Scalise after the matter occurred.
