American Politics 4.0 - Orangeyou Glad He’s Back?

My opinion is that trump saw it, liked it, wanted to post it, couldnt remember how to repost it, had someone do it for him. Thus 'a staffer posted it'

Probably, but not definitely.

Staffer? lol, naw I'm sure Don, Jr, Barron and Eric were sitting around doing lines while coming up with this. Right before they raped and killed some 12 year old girls.

Mar-a-Lago baby!

the sad thing is that posting this Obama video would have killed about 99.9% percent of political careers not only in America, but on this planet. But since it's Captain Bonespurs, we're somewhere between "of course" and "this is to distract from the pedophilia".

Screw this whole administration, and screw everyone who voted for this sad loser.

[Ferarri]

It's so sad to see basic human decency eroded in the US. The lengths that people will go to defend this President needs to be studied in it's rawest form. We've reached a point where the MAGA cult will excuse, ignore and even justify pure evil. It's astonishing that this abhorrent level of racism along with the Epstein accusations has done little to produce any sort of somber second thought. Shame on the American people and anyone that tries to excuse this type of behavior.

As we all know, there are people right here in Canada who try to be edgy and throw their horrible views out there by defending Trump whenever the subject comes up. Some people are just disgusting and love all the crap he says. I've grown to loathe these people amongst us.

"Starting" to suspect? Dude, the whole western neoliberal capitalist society is built on a foundation of racism. What do you think colonialism is?

Not to sound harsh, I'm glad you are realizing this now; better late than never, and most people are still in the dark, but this is not breaking news.

Maybe Obama was asking for it by escalating the situation?

We don't know the full story here.

Obama was a pretty bad racist himself. Pretty sure he deported millions of Mexicans too.

I'm just saying, maybe it's not just one side that's the problem.

Just saying.

If you wanted to really sell this, you're supposed to end your post with "just asking questions"

[puffnstuff]

And also 'thank you for your attention to this matter'

That said, your reference was to the republican party. The issue is certainly deeper than that.

Welp, that solves that. Trump admits he told his staffers to post that racist video.

Spoiler!

I think we all have a new favourite band tonight! From Jack White's Instagram account.

This post would basically get anyone, at any job fired immediately...except for arguably the most important position in the world. That's right, trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the US govt. to pay him 10 billion dollars simply because no one will stop him.) and a full on dementia sufferer, and yet he has the power to send in gestapo ICE soldiers to kill our citizens, and so much more dangerously, has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim. How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two party system, the electoral college, the responsibility that the internet has brought to humanity and its direct conflict with truth, and America's obsession with celebrity, are all to blame, but the fact that we aren't stopping it is...insanity. Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America full stop. It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy and we just all have to sit back and watch as a people. And when he's finally gone? we had better put into place new laws and regulations that don't allow anyone to find dangerous loopholes based solely on the assumption that our President has some sort of dignity and decency. Abolish these loopholes, abolish the electoral college, and if we had any sense we would abolish the two party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place and has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and suffering from the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny, bruised fingers on the nuclear launch button.

Trump hates anyone smarter than him. Add in being a woman, or a minority (anyone he thinks he's 'genetically superior' to) and it's even worse.

My theory is that since he considers himself a "genius" he once took a Mensa Application and failed. This is why he calls other adversaries "low IQ" and such.

Jack - try paragraphs!

Unbelievable. What a vile human on every level, even Epstein said Trump had no redeeming qualities.

I watched to whole video, and for me this almost falls into the never attribute malice to that which can be explained with ignorance.

I think he literally wanted to show democrats as a bunch animals being ruled over by him the king of the jungle, and it was just a useful coincidence or maybe some light trolling to tap in the culture hot potato that this would have been in the past.

We all know he's a racist, the video doesn't add to or change that, but it creates a wedge where you at least speculate on his intensions, so his cohort can fall in line, instead of continuing to focus on things that are indefensible like accusations of child rape and possibly murder, or culpability in adult rape, or murdering and imprisoning Americans without cause, or war crimes, or willfully destroying global economies, or destroying the a 80 year old global defense pact at the heart of the Pax Americana, or defrauding the American public of billions, or pardoning murderers and cop killers and drug dealers, or selling state secrets and technology to bad actors . All of this is so much more important than the 30 year old news that Trump is a racist.

It's 2026, this isn't a Hanlon's razor situation, and no one is accidentally posting a video depicting black people as monkeys.

I don't disagree, but the world if far too dangerous a place for things that could be plausibly deniable, especially when you are dealing with one of the stupidest and least aware people in the history of humanity.

There are a ton of things that Trump is doing in public that are objectively terrible, and if every one of those things pushes a couple people out of this cult we will make some progress. I'm telling you wedging on a video that contains racist depictions of the Obamas, but similarly rude depictions of white people in similar fashion will do nothing to move Trumps base.
