Chappelle Does It Again! A Rather Accurate Expression Of AfroAmerican Political Leanings
That's why I try to binge watch The Chappelle Show collection at least once a year. Comedic genius. Oh yeah...he's also from Washington DC too.๐๐

Do Well Educated Professionals Have To Be Non-Human??? (pondering)
Democrats would have done more to help Gillum if they really wanted him in the seat. They know how to spin stories and sweep dirt under the rug. I don't know what political aspirations the current Secretary of Transportation (SoT) has but if he decides to make another run for POTUS...the Democrats will embrace the fact that he's a member of the alphabet soup community and make it a non-issue. Interestingly, the media talks to the SoT more than any other Biden cabinet member with the exception of the Secretary of State. VP doesn't get too much media airtime.๐

And then, there were none (election deniers)
I wonder if you meant 2016 election. Democrats won in 2020. Otherwise, I see a pattern where massive fraud occurs every 20 years.๐คฃ๐

Why I Had Hoped Our Sister Did NOT Become Mayor Of Los Angeles
The change has to start with AfroAmericans...Black men specifically. We already know the deck is stacked against us. It does not makes sense for some of our very own people to do more harm than good. When Black men do a better job as fathers, brothers, mentors, warriors, etc., we can bring about the change we wish to see throughout the entire AfroAmerican community. This is a very tall order because there are bunch of wayward, emotional n8gglets running around out in these streets who don't care about their own lives or anybody else's. We have to get them in check first.๐

After 100+ Complaints Made an Ohio Judge Was Finally Removed
Judicial and law enforcement folks should be held to a higher standard because their actions or inactions do affect people's lives in many different ways. There needs to be better psychological evaluations and periodic checks and balances on judicial and law enforcement personnel who've been entrusted to protect and serve citizens. Regardless of her *excuse* for mistreating folks and racking up complaints, in addition to being removed from the bench, that judge should be forced to do 10 hours of community service for every legitimate complaint against her. The worst person to put in charge of people with problems and/or handling them is someone who has their own problems.๐คฃ๐

Why I Had Hoped Our Sister Did NOT Become Mayor Of Los Angeles
@Chevdove, it's not about the racist who said it 100 or more years ago. More importantly, it's that the predicament of AfroAmericans remains relatively unchanged especially as white supremacy uses other groups of people in trying to keep us on the bottom. ๐

I Thought Twitter Was Supposed To Be "Different" Under Musk....
Right. It's not tyrannical. Nor does it make people want to work there. If the company isn't losing money, the employees must be working well from wherever they're located. It's a social media platform company. They're not making widgets. The product sells itself. Musk is just flexing and smelling himself unnecessarily. ๐คฃ๐

Karen Bass--Mayor-Elect Los Angeles
Looks like Rep Karen Bass will be the 1st female Mayor of Los Angeles. Her opponent spent $100 million of his own money in a losing effort. Hopefully, Mayor Bass will be able to make a difference in reducing crime, homelessness and unemployment in the city of angels. ๐

Donald Trump, the eternal clown ...
@richardmurray, the GOP field of candidates will probably also include folks like Larry Hogan (MD governor), Mike Pence (former VP) and Mike Pompeo ( former secretary of state) to name a few. Still, either dumb (DeSantis) or dumber (Agent Orange) will top the GOP ticket. Reality might refute my opinion but the internet will not disclaim my position.๐๐
-
Donald Trump, the eternal clown ...
Post the mid-term elections, I believe Agent Orange may be losing some of his stranglehold on the GOP. Just the other day, Senator Mitt Romney called him an albatross around the neck of the GOP. Not having to rely on former POTUS 45s fund-raising machine and endorsement, the GOP may be looking for candidates who are more conservative than toxic. From the way he has governed Florida through the pandemic and everything else to handily winning re-election without an Orange endorsement, Ron DeSantis is catapulting himself to the top of the GOP party ticket in 2024. DeSantis is a more polished version of Agent Orange. He's smarter and less narcissistic which actually makes him even more dangerous as it relates to keeping the country divided. White nationalists will be happy with DeSantis. People of color will be treated with benign neglect. DeSantis has a better chance of beating Biden too. He's younger and sharper than POTUS PJB. DeSantis will be able to pull in white voters both Democrat and Independent as well. White folks flip from Liberal to Conservative and vice versa to their benefit. They are not as loyal to the same party as Black folks. White folks on both sides of the aisle really want their guns, stricter immigration laws, no abortion, no teaching Critical Race Theory in schools, etc. So far, DeSantis has put his foot down on all accounts. He's busing immigrants to other cities, upholding anti-abortion laws and hawking the educational system and making fun of Disney. As governor of Florida right now, DeSantis is auditioning in real-time for POTUS. White folks will continue to watch how he runs that state. As long as DeSantis ' governance mirrors their belief of a greater America, he will be at the top of the GOP ticket for POTUS and most likely to crush any Democratic candidate including the incumbent POTUS. Of course, everything I've written here is in my opinion. I'm not endorsing the guy at all. Just calling balls and strikes as I see them.๐

In the latest news, Musk is demanding that Twitter employees "commit to extremely hardcore work" for the company or else they will be fired. He's also ended remote work. Reads like that dude is planning to run a cult or dictatorship.๐คฃ๐

Donald Trump, the eternal clown ...
IMO, losing to Ron DeSantis in a primary is the best chance of keeping Agent Orange from becoming POTUS again.๐

Almost 100 years ago, Hitler said that AfroAmericans would be 3rd class citizens in America. That was before massive immigration.๐

Well, it's official...Orange Julius is running for POTUS again. The next 2 years will be a circus with rollercoaster rides.๐คฃ๐

Post Election 2022
For all of her efforts on behalf of the Democratic party, sista Stacey Abrams will land a cozy position in the Biden administration whenever she's ready to take it. ๐

Do Well Educated Professionals Have To Be Non-Human??? (pondering)
Yep. He probably should have done more to fight for Florida governorship. OTOH, if Gillum's closet had one too many dudes in it, they would have pulled that hoe, er, trump card. Back then, image and character were on the ballot too. Not so much nowadays with mumble-mouth Herschel Walker in a tight senate race despite his indiscretions. ๐

Brittany Griner's Appeal; Will She Be Freed?ย
My guess is NATO forces will show up in Poland and start doing lite exercises at the border...push-ups and calisthenics. NATO forces might crank up a big plane or helicopter and fly around the block. But, NATO won't do anything to aggravate Vlady Putin. Oh yeah, POTUS PJB will lower his voice and wag his finger telling Vlady not to go there.๐๐

And then, there were none (election deniers)
The great news for the state of Arizona is that they don't have a right-wing nut governor. While the election deniers lost in a major way, let's see if the incoming class of GOP folks will be any more amenable to working with Democrats to get things done on behalf of the American people. It looks like the GOP will control the House. The most right-wing nuts of the party have claimed their agenda is to impeach the POTUS, investigate his son, dismantle the 1/6 committee, etc. IOW, that segment of the party isn't interested in passing laws to help people. The Senate is still split 50/50 with the VP as the tie-breaker. While they can pass some legislation without GOP cooperation, the filibuster which requires 60 votes to get anything done could still be an obstacle unless again, incoming GOP Senators are willing to reach across the aisle. The next two (2) years will be interesting. It could either be anything from lifting the Orange stench to running in place and doing nothing to render the POTUS a lame duck. ๐

Donald Trump, the eternal clown ...
Agreed. But, with the understanding that: 1) AfroAmericans do not have true allies among other people. Every interaction with non-AfroAmericans is a business arrangement at best. 2) Here in America, White folks use other people of color as a buffer between themselves and AfroAmericans. It's their way of never having to deal with America's original sin (slavery) and reparations. 3) White folks are more comfortable with Latinos being the new working class. As a result, the white power structure will allow Latinos to thrive in non-white communities. 4) No different from allowing Asian businesses to thrive in AfroAmerican communities. I cannot speak for any other group of Black folks. But, as an AfroAmerican, I believe we need to unify, codify an agenda and pool our resources (collective wealth) in order to exercise our power on all levels. ๐

I Thought Twitter Was Supposed To Be "Different" Under Musk....
If Black folks stopped using Twitter immediately and came up with their own platform they would not be enriching another white supremacist billionaire. I'm doing my part...no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Don't feel like I'm missing a d8mn thing either.๐๐

Why I Had Hoped Our Sister Did NOT Become Mayor Of Los Angeles
Nah bro. AfroAmericans can't run forever. We have unify, stand and fight to make things right wherever we live. While I disagree with AfroAmericans having to learn Spanish, I do believe they should not have to move when another group of people show up. ๐
-
Donald Trump, the eternal clown ...
I totally disagree with AfroAmerican Black folks having to learn Spanish. That's automatically assuming they will be subservient to Latinos. H8ll no. I refuse to endorse or accept that line of thinking. America is an English-speaking country. I'm willing to bet White folks won't be learning Spanish because of any type of Latino power. Nope. The only reason White folks will learn Spanish is to 1) eavesdrop on Spanish-speaking conversations and 2) have s8x with Latinos. Otherwise, any semblance of Latino power will be nothing compared to the power controlled by racism white supremacy. ๐

Dave Chappelle's SNL Monologue.....oh boy! Let's Analyze.
IMO, Dave Chappelle is the most brilliant observational comedian of our generation. He will probably go down in history as one of the greatest comedians of all time. That skit is proof positive. Folks like Kanye and Kyrie should sit down with Dave and puff on something and seek his advice before opening their pie-holes. ๐

HEY, PROFD! HOW ABOUT THOSE BEARS!!
Da Bears played well against their divisional rival. Came up 2 pennies short of win today. It's all right because QB Justin Fields' progress each and every game should give Bears fans hope for the future. Da Bears will be a lot better next year as GM Ryan Poles brings in a few more quality players. ๐
