You have to wonder how many good candidates are hesitant to run anymore based on the fear of even the smallest past indiscretions coming to light or the scrutiny each family deals with because of the bloodlust between each party. Like you said, it’s no longer a compromise working towards a better common good. It doesn’t seem like the days where political rivals would fight on the floor during the day and then go have a couple drinks at the Old Ebbitt as colleagues and constituents afterwards and workout their differences. It seems like it’s a constant 24/7 hate fest. Somehow that sort of change needs to occur. No matter the outcome in November I don’t see any positive partisan changes taking place .

Normal people don’t run for president because they wouldn’t put their families through that kind of humiliation. To be a president, you have to be willing to murder innocent people without blinking an eye, something else normal people would object to. To be president, you have to be a no sh!t pyschopath. When I see the presidential seal, I see the medal that goes to the heavyweight champion of liars.

Found Biden a new slogan

Per Snopes: The portion in quotations that you have cited, is not what he said, verbatim. It also lacks context. The complete quote :

"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this." - Joe Biden, 1977.

Joe Biden was talking about how the practice known as busing, was creating racial tension in our public school systems. Biden has also acknowledged being wrong about this stance (43 years ago).

What-about-ism: Donald Trump once took out a full page ad in The New York Times calling for the death penalty for five young black men who were later vindicated of raping and beating a Central Park jogger. Has he ever apologized for that? Nope.

The more you read about Biden and his racism the worse it gets for him View attachment 288854

But since racist acts from over 40 years ago are fair game:

And yes, this is another "What-about-ism": Per Poltifact: In 1973, Donald Trump, as a 27 year old, was president of his father's realty company, Trump Management. It operated nearly 40 apartment buildings, mostly in New York City. By all accounts, including his own, Trump was a hands-on president and very active in managing the day-to-day business operations.

That year, the federal government filed a complaint against Trump, his father Fred Trump, and Trump Management. The complaint alleged that the Trumps violated the Fair Housing Act, part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, by discriminating against potential black tenants based on their race.

"The defendants, through the actions of their agents and employees, have discriminated against persons because of race in the operation of their apartment buildings," the complaint reads.

Black people, the government found, were often told a Trump Management complex had no availability when apartments were available for rent.

In one instance, a black man asked about two-bedroom apartments at Trump's Westminster complex in Brooklyn on March 8, 1972, and a superintendent told him nothing was available. On March 19, 1972, the black man's wife, who was white, visited the complex and was offered an application for a two-bedroom apartment on the spot.

The government lawyers also interviewed several people who said executives for Trump Management discouraged rental agents from renting to black people. In one case, the government said the company's comptroller instructed a rental agent to attach a sheet of paper that said "C" for "colored" to every application submitted by a person of color.

After a protracted legal battle, both parties settled in 1975.

Wait.. so it’s totally acceptable for someone to be a racist over 40 years ago because he’s since said I’m wrong and he’s now running for President, but it’s absolutely and completely unacceptable for someone to have been a racist a century or two ago that actually was a President? Cool logic🤦‍♀️

There are tons more...Biden has no ideology..he panders to the current group of the day but every once in a while he lets the truth out and we see his racist views Joe Biden’s Stunningly Racist Answer on the Legacy of Slavery Has Been Overlooked

Neither does Trump, who panders as hard as anyone to his core base of support. In one obvious pandering move, Trump has recently even argued that prayer should be allowed back in public schools. There really isn't any form of criticism that you can levy at Joe Biden, which can't also be applied to Donald Trump.

Am I to understand that Texas and Georgia are in play for November? Holy flying cow. These polls are much more damning for Trump than the poll that CNN was sent a cease and desist letter over.

I didn't say it was acceptable for anyone to be a racist... but if things from over 40 years ago are fair game, you do realize that Donald Trump and his father were sued by Richard Nixon's Department of Justice in 1973 for discriminating against potential black tenants, right?

I can think of many...but I’ll start here:

I bet Trump doesn’t think that it is rare to find an articulate - AND CLEAN!! - black man.

Curious, but did they ever publish a memo signed by Trump stating that the property managers and executives were required to discriminate?
