Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostHe seems to be pretty much on the wrong side of every major issue of the past several months. But I have to admit it is a joy to see his approval tanking and Biden surging in most battle grounds. Even Texas is only 2 points apart, and Biden has a strong lead in Florida and now leads (just barely) in NC, as well as all three of the states that turned the 2016 tide.
Still 4 months to go - so still a lot of time for "stuff" to happen, but right now "stuff" appears to mostly be happening to Mr. Trump. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy...IMOThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

In fact I find the whole video hilarious, a bunch of old people in golf carts.
Try the "how would I react if" test. So imagine Obama was the one who just retweeted a video containing two black guys cheering him and calling out "black power!" Do you find yourself equally dismissive? If so - then it truly is a non-issue for you. If not - then your position is disingenuous.
Either of these is, IMO, a problem for you.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

One of my biggest complaints is the fact that he tweets so much nonsense. I seriously doubt that he actually watched the video, or knew the full content. He just tweets and tweets and tweets.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

On the contrary, he's an extremely successful businessman. What he's not is a politician who has spent decades cultivating a slick public image to conceal who he really is. With Trump, what you see is literally what you get."It ain't necessarily so

And again to focus on him tweeting "nonsense" sounds better than what he actually does, which is to tweet lies, dehumazing talks and recently he retweeted a video with the "white power" statement. But you prefer to call it "nonsense". Why are you so afraid of calling all of this by its' proper name?"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."

If Obama did that, he would be praised as someone who cares about Black Lives and is promoting racial equality and Black Lives Matter.
Again, this video was about more than one guy at the beginning shouting "White Power" - that was not the central theme or focus of the video. The MSM is making it out as if the video is promoting white supremacy as if Trump retweeted the Grand Dragon giving a racist speech to the KKK.
