It's about time since he's about to start WW3!

Although US accusations are unlikely to be true, they could give a convenient pretext to officials who want to withdraw the US signature from the treaty, allowing the United States to resume its own nuclear testing. In fact, that may be the entire point.This looks like the typical political double-speak as they try to engineer an outcome that they already have in mind! :censored:

Did a successful prank inflate attendance expectations for President Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Okla.?... follow the link to read the full article.
By Taylor Lorenz, Kellen Browning and Sheera Frenkel | NY Times
President Trump’s campaign promised huge crowds at his rally in Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday, but it failed to deliver. Hundreds of teenage TikTok users and K-pop fans say they’re at least partially responsible.
Brad Parscale, the chairman of Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign, posted on Twitter on Monday that the campaign had fielded more than one million ticket requests, but reporters at the event noted the attendance was lower than expected. The campaign also canceled planned events outside the rally for an anticipated overflow crowd that did not materialize.
Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign’s spokesman, said protesters stopped supporters from entering the rally, held at the BOK Center, which has a 19,000-seat capacity. Reporters present said there were few protests.
Revolutionary War*Civil War*
Stanford, Calif. – Lucius J. Barker, Ph.D., who broke through racial barriers to become a renowned academic leader, author and professor of political science, constitutional law and civil liberties, died in his Northern California home of complications due to Alzheimer’s Disease on June 21, 2020. He was 92.
Barker, who grew up in the rigidly segregated South and worked his way to the upper echelon of his field, won dozens of awards and held numerous leadership roles throughout his career. Among his achievements, he served as president of the American Political Science Association (APSA) in 1992-1993. He was the second Black leader to hold that position, more than 40 years after the organization’s first Black president, the late Dr. Ralph Bunche, Nobel peace prize winner and former United Nations official.
“It’s fitting to salute Lucius Barker during this crucial time in race relations, as he was a scholarly soldier in our ongoing battle for equal rights,†said Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., civil rights icon and founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. “He dedicated his professional career to research, analyze and teach the next generations about the pivotal events, court rulings and laws that comprise American civil liberties.â€

"our fellow citizens" were already haters...they were just quiet and without a leader like them to lead and represent them until now.
EDIT: Personally, I think he is doing these things on purpose to get both sides to hate each other...he is about the hate. Another civil war is coming if this keeps up, make no mistake about it.
The black people I come from were owned and raped by the white people I come from. Who dares to tell me to celebrate them?

NASHVILLE — I have rape-colored skin. My light-brown-blackness is a living testament to the rules, the practices, the causes of the Old South.
If there are those who want to remember the legacy of the Confederacy, if they want monuments, well, then, my body is a monument. My skin is a monument.
Dead Confederates are honored all over this country — with cartoonish private statues, solemn public monuments and even in the names of United States Army bases. It fortifies and heartens me to witness the protests against this practice and the growing clamor from serious, nonpartisan public servants to redress it. But there are still those — like President Trump and the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell — who cannot understand the difference between rewriting and reframing the past. I say it is not a matter of “airbrushing†history, but of adding a new perspective.

I am a black, Southern woman, and of my immediate white male ancestors, all of them were rapists. My very existence is a relic of slavery and Jim Crow.
When he started talking I wondered if he was a comedian or just joking.
A Mississippi election commissioner sparked outrage after complaining on social media that black residents in the state were holding lots of voter registration events, a report said.
The commissioner, Gail Welch of Jones County, wrote the comment on Facebook last week — just as state legislators had approved a measure to remove a Confederate symbol from the state flag, the Clarion Ledger reported.
He's right! I've spoken to people over the years and could see that they flew the Confederate flag because that's how they were raised. They weren't exposed to the racism, etc. that we know so in turn they truly were oblivious to all of the negative things associated with it. It didn't happen to them or their community so they had no idea. Eyes wide shut, if you will...

Eyes wide shut, if you will...BTW... as I was composing and writing this reply a memory came to me that always made me sad whenever it happened, and that was watching as a Black person and a white person would be advancing toward each other on a sidewalk and the Black person would almost always step off of the sidewalk so as to not impede the white persons progress in any way. If the white person was a female then the Black person would always step off and maybe even cross the street because touching a white female might cost you your life.
Sorry for being a downer on that last part, but it was weighting on my heart.

A few dozen people turned out yesterday afternoon in FL to hear TÑâ˜mp upon his arrival. Pic 1: Wide shot of actual crowd. Pic 2: White House released image of the event. Pics 3 & 4: Notations of the same people cut and pasted into the image to make the crowd bigger.
I need to get one of those shirts! LMAO

Yes, and also designated as a hate group along with the White Nationalist Party and the Nationalist Party. I'll trump will refuse to do that because these new groups were created in hopes of looking like they aren't associated with the KKK. They are the same, just rebranded.
Uh oh...the youtube videos are gone...
EDIT: At first I thought it may be youtube blocking them but the ones on my site work. However, I use a different mod...
Ah! I figured it out. I have the Privacy Badger extension turned on and they changed something in it that was blocking them. When I disabled it for this site it they show. Funny that it doesn't do that on my site. Maybe cause we use different youtube mods?
Helps to protect your privacy but you can turn it off for individual sites or individual trackers per site.
Trump, Obama noted, is not exactly an exemplar of traditional American manhood. “I think about the classic male hero in American culture when you and I were growing up: the John Waynes, the Gary Coopers, the Jimmy Stewarts, the Clint Eastwoods, for that matter. There was a code … the code of masculinity that I grew up with that harkens back to the ’30s and ’40s and before that. There’s a notion that a man is true to his word, that he takes responsibility, that he doesn’t complain, that he isn’t a bully—in fact he defends the vulnerable against bullies. And so even if you are someone who is annoyed by wokeness and political correctness and wants men to be men again and is tired about everyone complaining about the patriarchy, I thought that the model wouldn’t be Richie Rich—the complaining, lying, doesn’t-take-responsibility-for-anything type of figure.â€
On Nov 4, 2016, the neonazi National Socialist Movement published a statement on their website, announcing that they would be replacing the swastika with the odal rune to enter mainstream politics. Four years and an attempted fascist putsch later, it's the stage at CPAC.
... this article goes on to give a very 'in depth' study of how our modern day politics are not that much different than those of the past, namely that our core issues still remain just that--- our core issues.

There are unwritten rules that dictate how American politics works. Former presidents shouldn’t weigh in on quotidian partisan squabbles. An incumbent senator shouldn’t support a primary challenger running against a fellow incumbent. If you’re an elected official, avoid directly comparing yourself to Abraham Lincoln—show some humility and instruct surrogates to do that on your behalf. Never try to correct a middle-schooler spelling the word “potato.†And if you want to take the pulse of white middle America, go to its de facto national capital—Macomb County, Michigan.
Every four years, as if driven by mainspring, presidents, those aspiring to be presidents and the reporters who cover them, return to the blue-collar Detroit suburbs to try out their messages and make sense of what’s happening in middle America.
Presidents will visit the community college campus in Warren—where President Ronald Reagan famously declared, “I’m a former Democrat, and I have to say: I didn't leave my party; my party left me†and where President Barack Obama announced his ill-fated American Graduation Initiative, a planned $12 billion investment in community colleges. And thick in the campaign season, candidates will swing by local factories to make major economic speeches, as Hillary Clinton did in 2016; take shots at NAFTA and celebrate new trade deals, as Donald Trump did in 2020; and hold campaign-debilitating photo ops, as Michael Dukakis did when he donned a helmet and drove around in an M-1 Abrams tank. Reporters will talk to voters at the ubiquitous Coney Island diners, hold televised roundtables with average Joes at bars and pry political chestnuts from locals wearing cutoffs and playing Euchre.

I see it...not sure why you don't. Unless you have a blocker on your browser.
We really need to arm ourselves and get ready for another civil war! :(
He's right of course. Many people have either never read the constitution or don't understand what they read.
Some of us take for granted that we can read and write. ;D
Same is true of how government works. Don't they teach about branches of government, etc in school any more?
How about economics? We are a capitalistic society yet people wonder why we have inflation. Its called supply and demand. I remember studying this stuff in school. :P

In an austere, four-sentence statement, Fox News announced Monday that prime-time star Tucker Carlson is leaving the network, effective immediately.
"FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways," the network said in a statement released by a spokesperson. "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."
Fox said Carlson's last day hosting his show was Friday. Carlson did not respond immediately to a request for comment from NPR.
