“You’re always playing the race card”

Anyone who says this has no idea how power dynamics work.

Race is not a card I can play. It is a hand I’m dealt.

Black people have never had the power to keep white people from voting, reading, or writing. If anyone’s had a race card, it’s white people.

At this point, we can assume the worst: the Epstein materials are devastating for Donnie.

At the same time, the American people are at best semi-literate (on average). They need to see those photos of Cankles with topless 13-year olds to stoke their outrage.

We've all seen that movie scene. It's usually written that way to indicate who the antagonists are.

Not sure if I understood correctly, but ICE, the best funded task force on the planet, needs the presence of the military because some protesters were weally weally mean to them?!? 🤔

Even AI makes racial assumptions, wonder how that happened?

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I can guarantee you NO ICE Agents in Portland have been assaulted. NONE! Every minute of everyday (many) someone(s) is recording every move they make, every place they go every vile thing they do! And we will be ready when it’s time to prosecute them.

Took them long enough! I’ve been hitting the mute button on commercials for 15 yrs now, thinking they’d get the message.

With all the real problems we face, they met for a strategy session to plan how to attack an enemy they completely made up. How about a 25th Amend. Session instead? When the President starts demanding you attack the delusions in his own mind, it’s long past time for a rubber room don’t you think?

Well Kennedy is good for one thing… he is single handedly killing all the mentally deranged morons on the right by convincing them that death is better than science. Thoughts & prayers their answer for everything.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
