  1. Right. We knew he was going to pardon his son. He didn't have to lie about it. Thanks for providing context. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Grassroots movement. As brotha @richardmurray reminds me, there's no Black collective. Just different tribes. Just like the Civil Rights movement. Not all Black folks were down with the program. Of course. They'll be grinning and smiling and ready to blow it on some dumb sh8t. Like Dave Chapelle said...n8gglets buying a truck full of Newports.๐Ÿคฃ Yep. They'll give a bunch of excuses and claim being down but moving in silence.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Sure. The main reason rich folks need politicians is to remove obstacles that prevent them from making more money. Until reparations comes down the pike, Black folks should be putting money behind their goals and objectives. Most politicians don't really *work for free*. They cater to special and permanent interests. Black folks need to develop that mentality and stand on that business.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Different strokes. I find it challenging. ๐Ÿ˜ There's something about knocking that fake azz armor suit off a woman. Being able to see, hear and feel the female underneath that BS is rewarding. It's even more hilarious when that woman thinks she is a *man*. Tackle that snatch box and unleash the estrogen she's bottled up like baby oil. No confusion.๐Ÿคฃ I just think it's unfortunate when both women and men require some form of validation to boost their self-esteem.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. The Indian-Americans in those cabinet level positions happen to be some of the most loyal POTUS OJ supporters. Similar to Nikki Haley the 1st time around. Their appointments do not lift any boats in their communities.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Self-esteem should be built up in individuals way before a makeover or any other shallow effort to make them more attractive. A makeover should accentuate the positive features of an individual. Their self-esteem should already be on point. That starts at childhood.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Nevermind that reparations hasn't been codified. The only thing Democrats and Republicans would see in reparations is admitting a debt is owed for America's original sin. Neither party is interested in making that admission. There is nothing for either political party to gain from reparations unless Black folks decide to give the money right back to them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Former POTUS Barack Obama won election as a junior senator from Illinois. He didn't do anything remarkable policy-wise to help anyone. His charisma and oratory ushered him into the White House twice. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Right. The American public likes to believe politicians are upstanding citizens. Money, greed and corruption runs the show. POTUS OJ couldn't bring out anything in the Biden's that was already there. Those shady dealings in Ukraine would have eventually caught up with the Biden's. That's why the pardon covers an 11 year period from 2013 through 2024. These people are ALL corrupt in one way or another. Just different paymasters and streams of revenue. One of the stool pigeons in the lie is Karine Jean-Pierre. She repeatedly stood on the podium and recited the lies courtesy of POTUS PJB. I have no idea of what KJP's next job will be after January 19th but I hope she takes a nice vacation between gigs.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. 50's trolling is hilarious. ๐Ÿคฃ However, we don't see any other group of men exhibiting that type of behavior toward each other. Allegedly. He's only been convicted in the court of public opinion. Let's wait and see what comes out from a jury of his peers. If Diddy is convicted of anything, that's a very strong possibility too. I heard the lead prosecutor will resign on December 13th. POTUS OJ will be appointing someone else to occupy that seat. I wouldn't be surprised if the case against Diddy disappears next year.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. No surprise that POTUS PJB fully pardoned his son Hunter Biden: https://apnews.com/article/biden-son-hunter-charges-pardon-pledge-24f3007c2d2f467fa48e21bbc7262525 Of course, POTUS PJB intially claimed he wasn't going to pardon his son. Surely, most of us knew that was a lie. I'm curious to know how many Black folks POTUS PJB plans to pardon who were sentenced under his 1994 Crime Bill.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. The prison of racism white supremacy doesnโ€™t require using those survival instincts. Being bent over and/or on their knees clearly isn't working for Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Byron Donalds.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. That's a huge part of it. She didn't have any charm or charisma either.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. They do get into everybody's business. ๐Ÿคฃ Self-h8te is a chronic illness among Black folks. Right up there with high blood pressure and diabetes.๐Ÿ˜ Right. A blip on the radar when they get strung out on drugs or do crazy sh8t. They got racial immunity.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Muhammad Ali was in no shape to be in that ring mentally or physically. He was nothing like Iron Mike even at 58 years old. White folks were still behind the money part of making that *fight*. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Yep. Half the sh8t POTUS OJ says is hot air. Got poor white folks drinking Tang kool-aid. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Right. N8gglets wanna be on some goofy Black TMZ sh8t.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. You're right. They never built that wall. Home Depot still waiting for them to pick up the materials. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. The liberal state of California would definitely give her a shot at Governor. The red parts of patriarchal America aren't ready for a female POTUS yet.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Right. Black folks thought Democrats were allies. Neither Black politicians nor their counterparts with the Democratic party seem interested reparations legislation.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Right. POTUS can pardon convicts. They do not have the power to prosecute people. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. They kinda tried it with the Larry Holmes fight. Thankfully, Holmes had so much respect for The Greatest that he refused to punish him. Muhammad Ali had zero business in the ring at that point in his life. They were using him to get a bag of money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. At this point, they're crying wolf and nobody is listening. True. Always use power when they have it too. No compromise.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Good point. Now, I have to wonder of it's a defense mechanism or straight ignorance.๐Ÿค” Inmates do all kinds of sh8t to survive in prison. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/us/politics/kash-patel.html Looks like Kash Patel is being nominated as FBI director. This administration is definitely shaping up to be a clown car filled with sycophants. It is one thing for leaders to surround themselves with people they can trust. Those individuals should still be qualified for the job. OTOH, I guess we're seeing in real-time that qualifications aren't solely based on education, knowledge and experience. Oftentimes, being qualified is just a matter of knowing the right people and/or luck...being in the right place, right time. It will be interesting to see if Kash Patel will run the FBI as if he's J. Edgar Hoover 2.0.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
