    It's not just a matter of how much it cost US taxpayers, but inasmuch as he took these excursions at his own resorts it's a matter of how mu US taxpayer money he funnelled back into his own pockets.

    The secret service? Is that what you mean? They have to protect all of these guys, not just Trump.

    How much are we paying them to protect Obama's daughters while they burn
    Target stores to the ground?

    How many Target stores are there in England?
    One of Obama's daughters is dating a British guy.
    Kinda wondering what stores they go to.

    It's too small for anybody to see it. Even for Marco Rubio.

    The secret service? Is that what you mean? They have to protect all of these

    We pay the secret service to protect him and his family.
    But only for ten years after he has left office.
    So he can keep playing golf, on his own dime, for as long
    as he wants. But after ten years, he will have to use his
    own money to pay the secret service for protection.

    How much are we paying them to protect Obama's daughters while they burn Target stores to the ground?

    Obama left office in January, 2017. So he and his family
    have free secret service protection until January, 2027.
    After that, he has to pay them out of his own pocket.

    Obama admitted that his daughters participated in a BLM riot. I don't know if they were the ones who burned any Targets down, but wouldn't that make them more heroic to the Democrat/BLM party?

    BLM is responsible for billions of dollars of destruction throughout America. But you are giving the Obama girls the benefit of the doubt by saying that they sat back and let the real black people do all the destruction.

    Hello Aaron,

    want
    what's best for Target Inc.

    I don't presume to know what they want.

    You presume stuff when it's convenient.

    There are white racists. And there are black racists.
    One is as bad as the other. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that.
    Different words, but same meaning.

    White supremacists do in fact exist, and they will tell you as much.

    They exist in movies, and they exist whenever the media wants them to exist.

    They also exist in real life. I met one of them. Actually twice.
    Once as a student at LSU. The second time as a candidate for the US
    Senate.

    He was the same racist and bigot both times. Never changed his
    views. White guy. Knew just what to say to push people's buttons.
    Knew just how far he could go without inciting a riot, although
    he did push it at times.

    The first time I met him he presented himself dressed in full Nazi
    garb on the steps of the LSU student union while making a speech to
    the students. I was one of those in the crowd who kept others from
    killing him on the spot. I was lucky to have survived that round,
    as most of those students were black. You can check archive footage
    of this, as he was caught on camera.

    The second time I met him was when he was running for US Senate,
    being interviewed by a (male) student from SLU. The two of them got
    along great, and well, you know all the rest. Duke's wife filed
    for divorce, the election went down the drain ...

    2 weeks? How did you come up with that number? A fortnight isn't a very long time at all, which means you don't have much confidence in white supremacist encounters being rare.

    Hello Aaron,

    They also exist in real life. I met one of them. Actually twice.
    Once as a student at LSU. The second time as a candidate for the US

    How many times has anyone encountered a white supremacist in the past 2 weeks?

    You don't know what a white supremacist is.
    I do. None of them are nice people. Even though
    some of them can put on a pretty good act.

    Yesterday was Memorial Day.

    A day in which all of us declare that those who
    gave their lives for our country were fighting for
    freedom. However, we would do well to remember the
    military sacrifice of BLACK AMERICANS from the Civil
    War to the present day. In WWII alone some 1.2 million
    BLACK AMERICANS served in the military. Most of them
    volunteers. What did freedom mean for them, who faced
    so much racial oppression? You think white supremacists
    cared about their freedom? Not a chance.

    BLACK MEN have fought in eery single war for the
    United States. And who benefitted? White folks. And
    yet, white supremacists continue to make the same
    false claims that BLACK MEN are the #1 problem in
    America. In fact, most of them were not even considered
    first-classed citizens, or even people.

    "Stony Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy and the
    Rise of Jim Crow" by Henry Louis Gates Jr. is a book
    you and all should read, as it explores what these
    "black soldiers" did in those historical times.

    There is no question the Civil War was a battle for
    freedom. So was World War II. And the Vietnam War.

    Look how racial subugation stood in direct contradiction
    to the war aims President Franklin Delano Roosevelt outlined
    in his Four Freedoms speech. Go ahead. Google it. It is an
    easy read, and won't take you long.

    "The experience of living in two worlds had prepared
    Negroes to wage two fights simultaneoulsy."
    ~John Hope Franklin, historian

    What Franklin forgot to tell us in his history books
    is that FDR never allowed Negroes to fight alongside
    white folks. Harry Truman was the president who broke
    that barrier. And even that version was limited.

    Wasn't until Vietnam that white folks and black folks
    could fight together, pray together, and die together.

    Of course, we can all forgive John Hope Franklin, as
    he was quoting FDR's wife Eleanor Roosevelt -

    "The nation cannot expect colored people to feel that
    the United States is worth defending, if the Negro
    continues to be treated as he is now."

    You do see what I am getting at. Service in WWII (and
    later in Korea) were fights for future civil rights
    leaders. BLACK MEN fought our wars for us so that they
    could win their own rights here.

    A lot of folks talk about patriotism. A lot of folks
    wave the flag. A lot of folks even fly the flag at home.
    But what is patriotism? So you know? Do you have even a
    vague idea? Most folks don't. They just follow the herd.

    Patriotism is a commitment to a set of values. But not
    just any set of values, as even die-hard racists have
    values, sick as those values might be.

    "A lot of people talk about patriotism these days. But what is
    patriotism? It's a commitment to a set of founding values so complete
    that one is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice."
    ~ Christopher S. Parker

    Those veterans we honored yesterday were true American patriots.
    True American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice, and died for
    their country.

    Would you die for Trump?

    None of those true American patriots did (or for any other president).

    You want to know what true BLACK AMERICAN patriots died for?

    They did so on the basis of what the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
    called "a promissary note," written in our founding documents.
    A promissary note that is still waiting for full payment. Black
    folks have a strong sense of faith - and hope. Which is why they
    still believe.

    How many times has anyone encountered a white supremacist in the past weeks?

    2 weeks? How did you come up with that number? A fortnight isn't a very long time at all, which means you don't have much confidence in white supremacist encounters being rare.

    You're over-analyzing. How many have you seen in the past 2 years?

    I saw a parade of black supremacists last summer. They didn't kill anyone but they killed a public playground.

    I would expand that to "white supremacists acting as a group." Some of the individuals Jeff cited might identify as white supremacists but it also
    sounds like they have some other mental issues that ultimately led to their actions.

    I can remember when the KKK used to (attempt to) hold rallies, but it has
    been a long time ago that I can remember hearing about one anywhere around here. OT1H, it *could* be that none of the local news organizations find
    these gatherings newsworthy any more, but I get the impression that they
    are not very commonplace in their coverage areas any more.

    OTOH, there have been all sorts of non-white-supremacists gatherings in the local news in recent years.

    Hello Ron,

    How many times has anyone encountered a white supremacist in the AT>past
    2 weeks?

    They are a pretty rare animal these days. I'm surprised that the Left hasn't demanded that they be made a protected species.

    Tlaib, March 17: There’s real data and information currently right now
    of the rise of white supremacy right here in this United States of
    America. He needs to look at the data and the information and the facts
    and actually listen and understand the tremendous responsibility he has
    in being our president, our leader of our country.

    He cannot just say it’s a small group of people. There’s too many
    deaths, not only from the synagogue to the black churches to the
    temples to the — now the mosques. We need to be speaking up against
    this, and it has to start with him reiterating the importance of real information and data that says it’s on the rise.

    You can’t just say it isn’t, when the facts say the complete opposite.

    -=-

    There you go. Do as the lady says. "Look up the data and information
    currently right now of the rise of white supremacy right here in this
    United States of America." And the "facts" - such as they are.

    White supremacists are *not* "a pretty rare animal these days."
    They are all around us. Everywhere we look. Not just here in one
    state in the South, but in every state in the USA.

    Time to get your head out of the ground and take a look. Grow up.
    Try living in the *real* world. And start making this a better place
    for us all.

    Black folk have fought in every war America has ever had, fighting
    for everybody else's freedom but their own. And black folk are still
    fighting for their own freedom today. So why do certain politicians -

    I live in the capital also. Until COVID, I could see it out my office
    window. Most of the protests we have are not "right wing" and certainly
    not "white supremacists." Some have been the teacher's union. Some have
    been "right wing" silent protests re: the second amendment. They had a
    couple of those early in the pandemic... they all stood 6-feet apart on the capitol steps and wore masks.

    The most recent one I am aware of (saw it on the news as we're not back in
    the building full-time) were both sides of a "school choice" issue that was
    up for a vote in the legislature earlier in the year. From what I heard,
    it was also peaceful (lots of young kids there) but, from what I saw, did not involve much mask wearing.

    The only really threatening things that happened happened over last Summer.
    I do not know if there were any protests on those days or not, but there
    were 2-3 days where our building (and several others downtown) were closed
    due to threats from the Summer, non-right-wing protests groups or
    individuals. Our COVID skeletal crew got sent home on those days.

    Aside from fire drills/false alarms, that is the only time I can remember
    my building ever being evacuated.

    I don't know who Alex Jones is.

    We've had a mixture. As our government is Republican-led, we've had a good number of protests against oppressive Republican policies. But then again, we've had our share of right-wing protests, too, over things like mask
    mandates and statue removals.

    The most recent one I am aware of (saw it on the news as we're not back

    The protests are generally peaceful, although the right-wing protesters do
    tend to turn up armed.

    but there were 2-3 days where our building (and several others downtown) were closed due to threats from the Summer, non-right-wing protests

    I vaguely remember our offices being evacuated once for a protest, but I
    don't remember the nature of it. It might have just been an advisement to cut out early because the streets were expected to be blocked.

    I don't know who Alex Jones is.

    You're probably better off for that. He's the idiot in charge of InfoWars.

    When Marx brought up the idea that the "workers would rise up", he envisioned everything as a class struggle.

    Of course, Marx was way off and here in the U.S. workers were so well off that they never thought of "rising up".

    So the Marxists had to come up with another way to divide people. For their plan to work, they had to divide people into "victim" and "oppressor" groups and they need to do it in a way that's visibly obvious. So they chose race.

    That's why they NEEDED Trump out. Trump was making much easier for minorities to become prosperous - effectively negating the Marxist movement.

    When Marx brought up the idea that the "workers would rise up", he envisioned everything as a class struggle.

    Perfect explanation! Thanks.

    That explains their recklessness with handling the pandemic; they don't
    abandon something that weakens the the poor (and enriches big busineses!)

    Burned all the equipment; taught whites a lesson.

    What was this equipment made of? It seems like it would take quite a lot of fuel to burn down a playground.

    Mostly pressure-treated lumber.

    Except white supremacy is not BS. It does exist, and there are people who self-profess to it. They will flat-out tell you that they're white

    We never seen one in real life though.

    White supremacy doesn't need to be proven; as I said, they will flat-out tell you that they're white supremacists. Like Dylann Roof did.

    Luckily we never met him & never will. Although, Dylan is the #1 threat to national security according to Joe.

    From what I can tell, this incident happened in Binghamton during the night
    of May 30/31. Although there was a peaceful protest in the park earlier in
    the day, it ended with a call for peace and the protesters dispersed hours before the fire. I cannot find any news regarding suspects in the setting of the fire, and as far as I know police still do not know who was responsible
    for it.

    Dylan is a threat to no one, as he is being housed for the rest

    Letting the media measure it for us is a bad idea.

    What Joe said has a slim chance of being true, it's racially divisive, and Dylan Roof was a lone wolf.

    Binghamton is a small town. We don't have arson often, but we had it on BLM day. Maybe Dylan Roof did it.

    That is literally the job of the media. Just because you don't like some of
    the things they report doesn't mean they're lying.

    What Joe said has a slim chance of being true, it's racially divisive,
    and Dylan Roof was a lone wolf.

    Biden is not the first to have said it, and in fact he was only relaying what intelligence officials had been saying. With regard to racial divisiveness,
    you seem to be confusing cause and effect. And Dylann Roof may have acted alone, but he was part of a larger white supremacist community.

    Correlation does not imply causation. Maybe someone else took advantage of
    what happened that day.

    On 06-02-21, AARON THOMAS said to LEE LOFASO:



    for everybody else's freedom but their own. And black folk are still fighting for their own freedom today. So why do certain politicians -


    Blacks have been free since the Emancipaton Proclimation was issued.


    Northerners fought a war against Southerners and their slavery to enforce that proclimation.


    The slave owners (democrats) have resisted it since. Even in the middle and 3/4's of the way through the last century, southern democrats had their
    slavery mentality on full display.


    Which black people? Not up here in the free states. Come to NY and you AT>won't have that problem at all.


    But blacks are hardly `innocent' victims here.


    They are claiming they have no `opportunity'. But its hard to make that claim stick when blacks drop out of school, run with violent street gangs, do and sell drugs, commit all sorts of violent crimes, and make no effort to take responsibility for their own success.


    `Reparations'? They've been paid `reparations' over many decades in the form
    of several generations of welfare, subsidized housing, free medical care, and, when the food stamp program got well-underway in the sixties and seventies, free food.


    A huge number of blacks are in prisons because a huge number of blacks commit crimes!


    What sort of person makes a hero out of a street criminal?


    What makes George Floyd someone who deserves any sort of `shrine' or `mural' honoring him? He was a doper, a criminal who'd done one or two sentences in prison.


    Or what makes that cop-killing black woman who's been hiding in Cuba for several decades anyone to `admire'?


    Many modern-day blacks have a strange sense of priorties.



    Tagline;


    Biden: "You'd need F-15's and nukes to take on the government." It's gonna be hard parking my new F-15 at Walmart! Any `nuke' built in someone's basement that goes off by accident will take out most of the whole county!

    Hello Tim,

    for everybody else's freedom but their own. And black folk are still
    fighting for their own freedom today. So why do certain politicians -


    Blacks have been free since the Emancipaton Proclimation was issued.

    First of all, Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves with his
    Emancipation Proclamation. He merely wanted to send them all to
    Louisiana, where he had special plans for them.

    In regards to your silly statement about blacks being free since
    that time, you seem to forget all about those blacks who are being
    held against their will in prisons throughout this country, forced
    into another form of slavery, all thanks to the 13th amendment.

    Northerners fought a war against Southerners and their slavery to enforce that proclimation.

    Wrong again, as usual. Slavery remained legal, and continued to exist,
    in both the North and the South, during and after the Civil War.

    Several states seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate
    States of America, having its own President, Congress, and Supreme
    Court. Along with its own currency and everything else that comes
    with having an independent country.

    In fact, after the war, those Southern states had to be re-admitted
    into the Union in order to become part of the USA.

    But I guess you forgot all about that.
