Such a little grade schooler ^^^ “anecdotal” one off story that may or may not be true that he pivots to an insult ....”the country hates you MA elitist”
For the record in my early twenties two of my besties lived in trailers. I couldn’t afford that upgrade at the time from my horrific third floor walk-up so keep wagging your finger.
Plus. You aren’t aware there are trailers in MA? Then YOU are the elitist !!!
God are you a closet lib here to play straight man ?
Totally true. But, as always, peering down at those in a less advantageous financial position than yours.
Accident-prone Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden quickly launched into damage control on Thursday after he told the audience at a town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, that “poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.”
Only after shoppers started to panic. The good guy with a gun myth is just that. For the rare times it comes into play there are dozens of instances where the police take them down or the shooter takes their own life. TX has some of the most lax gun laws and open carry and it was in a Walmart that sells guns and demographically fits a typical TX gun owner. No good guy to the rescue. The hero of the day was an unarmed army reservist who ushered kids out of harm's way.

Hoo-boy.....
so i don't understand what the big deal is about bidens statement. Was it a dumb statement to make? Yes, (Like captain obvious was in the room)....was anyone offended by the dumb_ss statement? My question is what is so offensive of what he said?

Trump makes dumb statements all the time and the little minions can't wait to run on here and point them out.
To me, inferring the white kids are rich and the black kids are poor is alarming. I could only imagine the outrage is Trump said it.

I think the point poor Joe was trying to get to is educational opportunities in the US are dictated largely by income, not innate intelligence. The system doesn't always reward the smartest but the ones with the money and connections. Trump is a great example of that (dad bought his degree, he was an average student) and the Varsity Blues scandal certainly shone a spotlight on the privileges of wealth in the college process.

That's fair. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt when he makes racist statements.................... (rollseyes)

His degree was not bought at all...TRUMP went to military school in upstate NY and yes he was average their, Trump later went to UPENN at the Whaton School of business.
We certainly cant compare NY Military Academy to say your local Public Highschool and/we cant compare UPENN to your local community college.
In summary, he went to high level schools, he did the work and his grades were average. so what? Fred Trump probably paid the bill and Donald Did the work and earned his grades...this is common practice for parents and kids....lets cut the crap and stick to real issues like the economy, taxes, and putting more money in the hands of the people.
Explain how you find this breaking news acceptable con - Trump's DOJ hid internal information showing that all domestic terror incidents last year were by white supremacists.
The Justice Department suppressed a report showing that suspected white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terror incidents last year.
The report by New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security Preparedness was distributed throughout DHS and to federal agencies like the FBI earlier this year before it was obtained by Yahoo News. The document includes data Congress has sought from the Trump administration but the Justice Department has been “unable or unwilling” to provide. https://www.salon.com/2019/08/09/tru...-supremacists/

He went to Wharton undergrad, not the graduate business school. Big difference. Daddy paid for his way in. Trump claims he was a top student but neither faculty or fellow students recall him as anything but mediocre, nor is there any public information showing he graduated top of his class, honors etc.

"Send her back" harkens back to a centuries old racist/bigoted tradition, dating back to the start of our democracy.
Jennifer Wingard, a University of Houston professor who has looked at rhetoric and immigrant communities, traces this sentiment at least to 1798, when the U.S. passed a series of laws — together known as the the and Sedition Acts — that were aimed at making citizenship more difficult for immigrants and deportation easier for U.S. authorities to carry out.
"The legislation is actually constructed for the ability to remove immigrants who are saying things against the U.S. government," she says, explaining that these laws were passed in a tumultuous political climate.
"We were starting to see different political parties and different politicians arguing for different ways that the government should be run. And it just happened that politically, they could try to maintain and try to withhold the status quo by putting it on the backs of immigrants."
Those laws established a pattern, she says, that would resurface with new waves of immigration and new perceived threats — from the Great Famine in Ireland and the Spanish-American War to the Great Depression and the attacks on Sept. 11.
But long before that young man drove to El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 3 and allegedly murdered at least 22 people at a Walmart crammed with back-to-school shoppers, it was clear that white nationalists have become the face of terrorism in America. Since 9/11, white supremacists and other far-right extremists have been responsible for almost three times as many attacks on U.S. soil as Islamic terrorists, the government reported. From 2009 through 2018, the far right has been responsible for 73% of domestic extremist-related fatalities, according to a 2019 study by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). And the toll is growing. More people–49–were murdered by far-right extremists in the U.S. last year than in any other year since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress in July that a majority of the bureau’s domestic-terrorism investigations since October were linked to white supremacy...“
Even if there was a crackdown right now, it’s going to take years for the momentum of these groups to fade,” says Daryl Johnson, a former senior analyst at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whose 2009 report on right-wing extremism was lambasted by conservatives even before its release. “I’m afraid we’ve reached a tipping point where we’re in for this kind of violence for a long time.”
