https://www.nbcchicago.com/2024-rnc-republican-national-convention-milwaukee/tim-scott-america-isnt-racist-blasts-chicago-over-gun-violence/3490744/ Despite having been passed over for VP pick, Senator Tim Scott is still puckering his lips and on his knees kissing up to the GOP. In the article linked above, Sen. Scott aka Mushmouth had the never to declare America isn't a racist country and deflected to gun violence in Chicago. He didn't mention the AR-15 toting would be assassin in Pennsylvania though. Luckily, Senator Sellout Scott doesn't have to worry about Black folks pulling up and putting a muzzle on him. That's exactly what is needed for his kind.

@Pioneer1, always glad to have you all i.e. fam drop in and let us know you're still among us. To answer the question "How yall feel !"...all is well on my end. No surprise that those other groups pf people admire white folks. Colonization is different from slavery and institutionalized racism. Republicans may be talking about "family values" but it's not to benefit or support or acknowledge other groups of people. They want to roll America back 100 years. I wouldn't spend an ounce of energy studying or admiring Africans and Latinos. These people fled their homelands for greener pastures under white supremacy. As I've mentioned before, these people have a whole country to which they can return and build up. Instead they flee and never look back. As Dr. John Henrik Clarke brilliantly stated, "AfroAmericans have no friends and if you really need a friend...look in the mirror." Both political parties are courting other minority groups in order to marginalize the Black vote. Those groups don't bear the legacy of slavery either. As long as those minorities don't ask for too much of anything they'll be treated with benign neglect under white supremacy. Ask Senator Tim Scott how much it benefits him belonging to ths GOP.

Historically, Black women have been loyal to the underdog and losers. A mom will beg the courts to spare her son's life despite that he's taken a few. As a wife or side piece, a woman will be the ride or die to an unemployed, broke azz man. Despite his impending frailty, POTUS Biden is the alternative to the Boogeyman trying to break back into the White House. Former POTUS Orange Julius aka Teflon Don is the personification of white privilege and white supremacy. To many white people, he's the political equivalent of Jesus. We're definitely in the midst of a political reality show. Grab your popcorn.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/15/politics/kfile-jd-vance-comments-trump/index.html Former POTUS Orange Julius has selected Senator JD Vance (Ohio) as VP pick. Sen. Vance is 39 years old. Look no further than 2016 when JD Vance couldn't stand former POTUS OJ. His criticism is available for everyone to read and hear. Somehow, as POTUS, OJ supposedly made JD Vance believer in his vision for America. Yeah right. White folks will change political parties and ideologies as easily as changing clothes or dance partners. The Dems might start begging and pleading with Black folks votes if they're interested in maintaining power.

Interestingly, for as divisive as former POTUS Orange Julius is in his own rhetoric, the folks publicly stating a wish for a different outcome has been relatively silent.

Civilized but stratified in several ways. Last US POTUS assassinated was JFK Jr. in 1963. More than a half-century ago is pretty good in a civilized but divided country. The Brits don't have the *problems* as America. By design, US gun laws make it easier for citizens living in certain places to obtain firearms. Yep. Wisconsin state gun law is the reason Kyle Rittenhouse is a free murderer today. In light of recent events, RNC (Republican National Convention) attendees know they'll have to leave firearms outside in their vehicles.

IMO, absolutely not. They will come to show up with hat in hang begging for money. The number of assassination attempts against a POTUS on US soil are extremely low. The last attempt was 40 years ago.

Guns don't become deadly until they are in the hands of someone on a mission to take lives and/or do damage.

Shooter walks up on the scene with an AR-15. People see him climbing up on a roof. They try to alert police of the suspicious character. Cops do nothing. The building was 400 feet away from where former POTUS was speaking. There is Secret Service and snipers everywhere. The media is fumbling all over itself trying to figure out and explain how this shooting could have happened. They don't want to talk about how there are too many guns in America. On one hand, the media is praising the swift action of law enforcement. OTOH, they don't understand how someone could get within 400 feet of carrying out an assassination. With more street cred as a convict and now grazed by a bullet, it will be interesting to see how folks rally around the orange fella in November.

https://www.axios.com/2024/07/14/trump-assassination-attempt-martyr-rnc After an assassination attempt on the life of former POTUS Orange Julius, both political parties are united in condemning the attack. The former POTUS was grazed on the ear, an attendee was was killed, 2 other folks were injured and the shooter was taken out by snipers. Over the next few days, weeks and months, we'll see how the temperature changes in terms of political rhetoric leading up to the election. As I've often mentioned, the political parties are two-sides of the same coin when the rubber meets the road.

The game that is American politics has left us with two old geezers running for POTUS. The Dems didn't promote any candidates during their primary to oppose the incumbent POTUS. Funny thing is POTUS PJB ran as a 1-term bridge to the future. Now, he wants to finish whatever he started. After 50+ years in the back, he's enjoying the power seat. POTUS PJB has raised over $200 million for the Democratic party. That money helps a lot of people. Especially down ballot. After his terrible debate performance, a few Dems leaders have mentioned that POTUS PJB should consider stepping aside. Well, after the solo news conference he gave yesterday, let's see if those same Dems will do an about face and change their tune. I believe the Dems will keep POTUS PJB propped up to hopefully get re-elected. Behind the scenes, they will have some weird succession plan in the event that POTUS cannot finish the job. The 2024 POTUS choices are set: 1) Incumbent POTUS propped up by Botox shots, stem cell injections and other treatments who feels entitled to collecting all of the money from his 50+ years of gov't service. Setting up his family to be financially comfortable for generations. 2) Former POTUS Orange Julius who is a narcissistic, megalomaniac, neo-fascist, racist convict who wants to turn America into an autocracy. This clown wants to rule like a dictator and roll America back 100 years. Half the country is riding with him and fine wirh it. The choices are clear. Only thing left for voters to do is hold their noses on election day.

POTUS PJB is the better choice over former POTUS Orange Julius. It's unfortunate for America, a country of 335 millions folks, that these two old dudes are the only choices we have to lead the country. Same here. I've also got an escape plan if sh8t goes sideways here.

POTUS PJB just had a 50-minute news conference. Other than saying VP Trump instead of VP Harris, POTUS handled himself very well. Even got a little feisty at times. He did a lot better than his debate performance.

POTUS PJB did very well hosting the NATO summit this week. He was engaged and alert by reports. POTUS PJB did misspeak introducing President Zelensky as President Putin. Quickly corrected himself. Otherwise, it was an excellent show of leadership in diplomacy for POTUS with the media bullseye on his back.

As a form of damage control after his debate performance and questions about his cognitive abilities, Democrats are running around giving interviews to support POTUS PJB. Yesterday, during an interview Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) mentioned that POTUS PJB has given Black folks the following: 1) 1st Black female Vice President 2) HBCU funding 3) jobs 4) reduced medical costs 5) alternative to former POTUS Orange Julius Rep Waters says for these reasons, Black folks should stick with and vote for POTUS PJB in November.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-tells-congressional-black-caucus-im-disappoint/story?id=111764987 POTUS PJB has picked up a vote of confidence from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) . Let's see if CBC will be able to corral and rally younger folks to tow the party line. Also, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aka AOC has talked to the POTUS. He's assured her that he's fine. So, as far as AOC is concerned...."this matter is closed". She's riding with POTUS in November.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-nato-summit-chance-show-voters-allies-he-can-still-lead-2024-07-09/ NATO summit is being held here in Washington, DC. POTUS PJB has pledged more suppprt to Ukraine believing they will drive Russia out of their country. Supposedly, POTUS did well reading the teleprompter today. Hopefully, meetings with world leaders went just as well. This is not a good time for POTUS to appear to be slipping in any way. Give him the Botox shots and stem cell injections.

Neither the incumbent POTUS nor Democratic elected officials are doing much to keep Orange Julius from getting back to the White House. In fact, the GOP has gone relatively silent in allowing Dems to implode under the embarrassment of the POTUS debate performance. Right now, it seems a convicted felon stands a good chance of becoming POTUS.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/08/politics/video/white-house-press-briefing-tense-exchange-biden-neurologist-digvid On cue, here's WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre trying to do damage control regarding POTUS mental and physical fitness. interesting that she still hasn't figured out how to remain cool. Guess it's harder to do when selling hot BS.

Surely, we could do much better but I don't believe there is a desire. I think the status quo is desired and direction is by design. Half the country seems to be perfectly fine with it too.

The G7 and G20 essentially function as a global government. These countries led by the United States of America make decisions that control power and resources throughout the planet. The great experiment that is the United States of America even with a clowm or stumbling old man as POTUS, remains the most powerful nation on the planet. The checks and balances in place keep the US government functioning at a very high level.

The real question becomes 1) who or what is the enemy and 2) to whom is the enemy. America as a democracy has been a facade for quite some time now. America could become more more white nationalist under GOP rule. IMO, many who claim to be white liberals (moderate to right of center) will be perfectly fine with a neo-fascist country as long as it's led by a white man. Red and Blue are the smoke screens when it comes to running the country but the real color is green. When it comes to politics watch their hands and follow the money.

IMO, America will not collapse in the near future. There's enough checks and balances in place for America to maintain its super power status. If all else fails...America has the nuclear capability to destroy the planet. Again, the most privileged folks won't let that happen. The political parties have the luxury of nominating dudes who would not have even been in the running 20 years ago.

The country has been divided since 2016. Despite winning the election in 2020, the Dems are still spineless. The insurrection of January 6th put an exclamation point on how far the right is willing to go in order to uphold their agenda. The upcoming election will be interesting on several levels. Many Black folks will be voting for the couch in 2024 for the reasons mentioned above and most importantly....because Dems haven't done anything for us. No longer is it feasible to just vote for the lesser of two evils. Dems need to offer Black folks something tangible for their votes. Interesting that Robert DeNiro would be encouraging POTUS PJB to step down when he was endorsing him during the protests on college campuses a month or so ago. Project 2025 showed up just in time to scare Black folks into voting Democrat. The Dems best chance of keeping the White House in 2024 is 1) coming up wirh a stronger candidate and 2) offering Black folks reparations. Otherwise, I see America headed in the direction white folks want it to go in order to maintain the system that benefits them the most.

Rest assured that you are not missing anything if she hasn't showed up on your radar. Comedic source material comes from everywhere. Her press briefings contain enough fodder.
