"I'm not a racist."

"Well, okay, maybe just a little."

But now he says he "does not stand behind" his 2012 remarks.

Well, that makes it all better, then, doesn't it?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/28/politics/mark-meadows-obama-kenya-2012/index.html

And note how the whole proceedings had to grind to a halt to sooth the feelings of the aggrieved white guy after he offended multiple people of color in that room, and watching on their televisions, after he trotted out a black woman as a prop, an obviously racist provocation.

The Chairman didnt seem offended.

Could be the unreasonable (and 100% partisan) people of color were those that were

Ah yes, racism.

When flicking thru channels on my tv last night after about 9pm I landed on a 'free to air'[not cable] major 'multicultural' channel....to see and hear a twenty-something Asian guy program host [there were four young hosts] say..."Get rid of old White men".
In other words, ME!

Yes, he's just allowed to say it, and no one blinks an eye...maybe because that seems to be the general opinion amongst the young today.

I'think it was fortuitous that the Meadows, on such short notice, found a willing AA to be used as a prop.

Not Trump's fault the NorKo guy who wanted the economic sanctions lifted packed up and went home when told his offer in return wasn't acceptable.

Still waiting for Cohen's EXAMPLES of "Mr Trump"'s racism.

You see nothing offensive in Meadow's actions.  Again.  Very predictable.

I have a friend who is a musician, who was in a couple of bands that achieved some level of success, and he said that when you reach the top, it is not just you, you need to have a whole team working with you. For instance, Frank Sinatra, he had a whole team helping him, it was not just Frank out there in the world on his own. You have your lawyers, and your agent, and your public relations people, and security people, and other people, helping you. My friend calls the helpers "Buffers," as they are buffers between you and the real world out there. You can focus on making music, or making movies, or public service, or whatever you do, without having to worry about everything else in life. And you need to be able to trust your Buffers. 

And there is an old cowboy saying, do not bad mouth the brand that you ride for. If you work for them, and accept their money, then you cannot bad mouth them, if you dislike them then quit, but do not accept their money and bad mouth them.

So, I think that Trump's lawyer, Cohen, should have kept his mouth shut. Cohen would have had more respect if he would have kept his mouth shut. The time to speak was when he was doing the work and accepting Trump's money. 

You need to have loyal people in your inner circle, and you need loyal Buffers whom you can trust. 

I am not saying that I agree with what Trump has done, and you all know that I am against building a wall, but I am just saying that people need to take responsibility for their own actions instead of blaming others. 

Salute,

Tony V.
