Ah, you're back on THAT topic again, are you?
I believe it was Trump looking at a preteen on an escalator and commenting that someday he'd be dating her ... with photo to prove.
I also believe it is Trump with many photos of himself and his preteen & then teen ******* in his lap, lip kissing her in the back of a limo with hand on her rump. With many photos to prove which keep getting taken off the internet, when they're posted, of which I happen to have just to prove the pervert that he really is.
And, I believe it is Trump seen with his ******* friend, who recently hung himself, at his Mar a Lago resort. With, of course, photo to prove that as well.
So, before you go slinging mud pies around, of *******, at Biden, you best look at the PERV that's already IN the White House. You know ... the one that sleeps on the opposite side and floor of the White House as his wife because she got "too old for him" ... the one that tried to kiss his grown ******* on the lips with his hand on her ass, on stage, at his election announcement .... the one that can't go one day without telling at least 10-12 lies ... the one that's been married three times and cheated on all three wives .... want me to continue, ohhh Trumptard Drone?
Go ahead, sling another one of your mud pies!

In the 1994 version of its annual publication, Service and Casualties in Major Wars and Conflicts, the Pentagon put Korean War battle deaths at 33,652 and "other deaths" meaning deaths in the war zone from illness, accidents and other non-battle causes at 3,262. That yields a total of 36,914.

I feel sorry for anyone that still defends Barry Obama after 8 years of plotting destruction of American values and capitalism that keeps us free. If anyone needs to move on, it is you.
Proof positive that Republicans are racist when it comes to their treatment of President Obama, the first African-American president in history.
There is no doubt that many Republicans are racist when it comes to President Obama.
The president has been ****** to endure racism, hatred and malicious lies and rumors like no other American president.
As Timothy Egan of The New York Times reported in an Op/Ed piece,
From the day he took office, his legitimacy has been challenged, his American birth has been suspect, and he’s been personally insulted, lectured, yelled at and disrespected in public, by public figures, in a way that few if any American presidents have ever faced.
A conservative friend asked me the other day why liberals are always playing the race card when it comes to Obama. And let’s be honest, we do question whether or not racism plays a part in the unprecedented hatred directed towards Obama.
The problem is that as soon as we do, we get accused of being THE RACISTS ourselves, as you can see in the example from my friend, below:
WHY is it that if those who support President Obama automatically go to “race” when they disagree with someone who does not support the political leanings of this President? It seems to me that those who do that are more prejudiced than the ones they accuse. Think about it. Why is it that their reasoning automatically takes them to “race” . . . as if there can not be ANY other possible reason to differ. It’s amazing to me that so many, including Mindy, will use that race card on people who so strongly support people like Dr. Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Mia Love, and a HUGE list I could go on with. Kind of negates that “race” issue to me. Maybe their thought process should continue on a bit farther.
With that in mind, we have collected several examples of flagrant displays of racism from leading Republicans, examples from state level officials, and some broader examples such as the birther movement.
Newt Gingrich
Back in September 2010 Newt Gingrich told National Review that President Obama may follow a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview, asking:
What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.
Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh has made numerous racially offensive remarks about the President to include stating that Obama is “able to turn on that Negro dialect whenever he wants to.” Referring to a 2007 video of Obama talking about race relations, Limbaugh also stated:
And we got the trumped up black accent like down in Selma. And we’re gonna go back and relive all that. Hillary, “I ain’t no ways tired.” Gonna go back and relive all of it. That southern-fried accent that Obama put on before the black ministers, was he raised in the southern part of Hawaii? Where did he pick that accent up? I’ve been to Hawaii. I’ve never heard that accent over there. I’ve been to Hawaii a lot, in fact. His accent got so strong, I half expected him to tell the audience that he wasn’t no ways tired when he was going on and on about this. But I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been born somewhere close to Selma.
Rick Santorum
In a 2011 interview with CNS News, Rick Santorum brought race into Obama’s view on abortion, stating:
The question is — and this is what Barack Obama didn’t want to answer — is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person — human life is not a person, then — I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, ‘We’re going to decide who are people and who are not people.’
Tom Coburn
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) claimed that Obama has stamped his alleged dependency on government because “it worked so well for him” that “as an African-American male… he got tremendous benefit” from entitlement programs.
His intent isn’t to destroy. It’s to create dependency because it worked so well for him. I don’t say that critically. Look at people for what they are. Don’t assume ulterior motives. I don’t think he doesn’t love our country. I think he does.
“As an African American male, coming through the progress of everything he experienced, he got tremendous benefit through a lot of these programs. So he believes in them.
Sarah Palin
Notorious for making racist comments about Obama, we decided to highlight one our favorites – the time she was caught spewing racist nonsense about Benghazi on a Facebook note and its linked Twitter account referring to “President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick”.
As CNN’s Roland Martin noted at the time:
“Shucking and jiving” have long been words used as a negative assessment of African Americans, along the lines of a “foot shufflin’ Negro.” In fact, I don’t recall ever hearing the phrase used in reference to anyone white.
Group Attacks, Part I
There are also examples of times that more than one person came together to attack Obama, such as the time that Sarah Palin, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator Mike Lee joined a couple hundred protestors in Washington, DC to protest President Obama’s closing down the WWII Memorial (while pretending they had nothing to do with the government shutdown). These protestors then marched to the White House, where they carried a Confederate flag and demanded “the President leave town, to put the Quran down, to get up off his knees, and to come out with his hands up.”
As we reported at the time, “Did no one realize that carrying a Confederate flag in front of the White House, where our first African-American family now resides, was an absolutely disgusting display of racism? The Confederate flag – which represents a war that killed 600,000 Americans over the right to enslave other human beings?”
Group Attacks, Part II – State Officials
Examples of racism directed at Obama flourished during campaign cycles and as Slate reported in 2012,
“[V]ery often you’ll have local, state, and sometimes national officials exposed for explicit racism. It seems like it has become a monthly occurrence that an elected Republican either forwards some horrible racist chain email about President Obama or makes some horrible racist off-the-cuff remark. (For a few examples of this from the past year, see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
In a stunning example, Jennifer Olsen, chairwoman of the Yellowstone County Republicans and a prominent tea party organizer in Montana, published the following photo on her Facebook page in February of 2013 according to MontanaFesto.
Group Attacks, Part III – Broader Attacks
Claims of Sealed Obama Records Proven False
No American president has endured the kinds of malicious and false rumors about his past as has President Obama and as part of an ongoing public service commitment by this website, we present our series of articles debunking right-wing lies taking on myths such as those claiming that Obama’s thesis paper is sealed, college records are sealed from Occidental College Columbia and Harvard, his Selective Service Registration is sealed, Obama’s medical records are sealed, his state senate records are sealed, and that his law practice records are sealed.
Birthers
The New York Times put it best in a recent article, writing:
The biggest slap at the president was the smear about his birth. It’s insulting and humiliating that Obama — alone among presidents — has been ****** to release his long-form birth record to satisfy a clutch of fact-deniers. Leading the attack on the president’s very citizenship is the professional vulgarian Donald Trump, who gets away with the kind of preposterous, race-based comments granted few black public figures.
Trump’s displays of idiocy on Fox News are a staple of that network. I wait for the day when something Trump says that is both stupid and incendiary is held up as representative of all white people — and he’s asked to apologize for his race.
BONUS: Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Speaks Out Against Republican Racism
In October 2012, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson publicly stated that the Republican Party is “full of racists” who only want President Obama out of office because of “the color of his skin.”
In an interview with Ed Schultz, Wilkerson stated:
Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that’s despicable.
Proof Republicans Are Racist Towards President Obama
Proof positive that Republicans are racist when it comes to their treatment of President Obama, the first African-American president in history.

Technically i'm the only full fledged dyed in the wool Democrat here. And if you think I am fan of China, you haven't been paying attention. I can run through a list of points why they are not to be trusted, and our economic focus has compromised our national security responsibility. Going back to Bush I, the former Chief of the Liaison Office to China.

Why Do The Republicans And The Tea Party Hate President Obama?
Why All This Drama Over Obama?

Why Do Republicans and Tea Party Hate President Obama?
I guess more accurately the question should be why do some people hate President Obama? He was elected by a large margin of electoral votes so there are definitely a lot of people who like him. But that said! Why All this Drama Over Obama?
When he announced he was running for president, the secret service had to start guarding him about six months before they normally start guarding presidential candidates, because of all the death threats he was receiving. So the question is why is that? What had he done that was so bad that they had to start guarding him that early? Did he ******* somebody, ******* somebody, rob a bank, commit an act of terrorism?
No he didn't.
All through the presidential campaign there were people protesting his candidacy, calling him a traitor, a socialist, a communist, a Muslim or an Arab, (which to their minds were all bad things) but none of this was true! But they still persisted in spewing their hatred toward him and were not amenable to reason or the truth.
Drama At John McCain's Rallies
At some of John McCain’s rallies there were people shouting ******* him! I can’t remember anybody at a political rally shouting ******* a presidential candidate in my lifetime, no matter how unpopular they were! So again, Why All This Drama Over Obama?
What had candidate Obama done that was so egregious that it engendered that kind of intense hatred and hostility toward him?
When he became president the hatred and hostility didn’t stop, it intensified!
The Birthers
You had the so-called birthers attempting with all of their might to de-legitimize his presidency saying that he couldn't be president because he wasn't born in the United States. No matter how much data was examined or presented to show he was born in the United States, (birth certificate, announcement of his birth in two papers at the time) was not good enough for these people. It was all faked! The truth could only be what they fervently and bitterly believed the truth to be! They wouldn’t and probably still won’t accept anything less than what they believe to be true! Again, Why All This Drama Over Obama?
What do they have against President Obama? What has he done to engender that kind of hostile scrutiny from them?
Did Bill Clinton or George W. Bush have to prove they were born in the United States to be president?
No they didn't.
Caricatures of the president
At many of the so-called town halls meeting, angry protesters carried caricatures of the president as Adolf Hitler as well as other offensive racial images of him to show what a horrible person they think he is! But what had President Obama done to make them view him as Hitler or as someone who was the same type of person as Hitler?
Hitler killed millions of people, what had President Obama done that could be equated to what Hitler had done?
Let me answer that; nothing!
Obama is going to ******* grandma
Then there was the healthcare scare. Obama is going to ******* grandma!
These people just won’t quit! They want to de-legitimize his presidency and get him out of office by any means necessary. It was just one thing after another all summer long. Again Why All This Drama Over Obama?
As shocking as this may seem to some of you, there are some people in this country who just don’t want to see a black man be president of the United States. Or any none white person for that matter. But definitely not a black man. They say this is a white country and should be ruled or governed only by white people, preferably white men.
To these people (including some in the congress) President Obama can do no good. He could walk on water, bring the dead back to life, wipe out world hunger, bring peace to the world and they’ll find a way to find something wrong with what he did. Because it’s not about what he did. It’s about what he is.
All you have to do is type white supremacy into Google search or a search engine of your choice and read the contents of the various white supremacy sites. Or visit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, (they track hate groups) and those of you who don’t want to believe that in this day and age that the President’s race is the problem, will receive a rude awakening!
Of course not everyone who doesn’t like the president is a racist. Some may have legitimate political differences with him. That’s OK. They can disagree with him and have a civil discourse about it without spewing hate and hostility.
Some people don’t know that their negative racial feelings are fueling their fear and hatred of President Obama and would be mortified to think that they harbored any such feelings.
But, psychologically, when someone automatically experiences intense hatred, dread or other such emotions about someone they don’t know, it’s usually a sign that they have underlying subconscious feeling they aren’t acknowledging.
It’s like a phobia, where someone reacts to a fly as if it’s a grizzly bear about to attack them! Their reaction is out of proportion to the danger they’re actually in.
A phobia is a conditioned response, a subconscious alarm system that says, when you see situation or person A, trigger emotional reaction B!
People like this wouldn’t know why they have such intense anger or hostility toward President Obama, but may unconsciously project it on to something else about him, that would keep them from being aware of the true reasons for their intense dislike of him.
So again, why do these protestors have such intense hostility and fear of President Obama, that appears to be out of all proportion to anything he’s actually done? Why All This Drama Over Obama?
Stop Obama
The republicans, Rush Limbaugh and others' stated agenda was to stop President Obama from being successful. Not to try to make the country better, to help people or to try to create more jobs, but to stop Obama!
They don't give a damn about the country only about stopping Obama and they proved this by being against anything President Obama is for.
If they were for some proposal and Obama decided to adopt it, they would do an about face and reject a proposal that they previously supported because Obama was now for it!
Are these people really Americans?
Should they even call themselves Americans, if all they care about is stopping President Obama and be damn the country?
There's just something about a black man being president of a "white" country that just irks them.
So the question remains, what has President Obama done that was so bad that these people have all these irrational ideas, feelings, beliefs and hatred toward him? Why All This Drama Over Obama?
If you can see some other reason than his race, that explains why candidate Obama had to have secret service protection, six month before presidential candidates usually receive protection (and this goes for all of the points I’ve made). I want to hear it. I'd love to hear your comments!
"My party is full of racists.
Oct 2012
The Republican Party is full of Racists
"Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a self-identified Republican who was Gen. Colin Powell's chief of staff during his time as secretary of state, did not take too kindly to a recent accusation -- from Mitt Romney's controversial campaign co-chair John Sununu -- that Powell only endorsed Barack Obama for president because they're both black. Sununu would later backtrack, but the damage was done.
Wilkerson, who is white, didn't mince words on MSNBC'sThe Ed Show Friday night. "To say that Colin Powell would endorse President Obama because of his skin color is like saying mom Teresa worked for profit," he said. And although he gave Sununu a bit of a pass, blaming his statement on an "unfortunate" choice of words, Wilkerson had much harsher words for the GOP as a whole.
"Let me just be candid," he said. "My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable." from the Root webpage http://www.theroot.com/buzz/former-powell-chief-st

what has trump accomplished...raise taxes on workers....killed thousands of americans
Weather any group of people are Racist or not, it is an issue for each individual, at this day and age it is not like it was at the time of the civil war. I don't like Obama and it has nothing to do with the pigment of his skin or I would never have voted for him. I can't stand Hillary Clinton and it has nothing to do with her shade or sex, it is who that person is. I am not a republican but I can't call a whole party racist. By the way at what miraculous time or event did the Democrat party and Republican party switch and Democrats become righteous and the Republicans become Racist??? It would have to have been after Lyndon B. Johnson because he hated Blacks. As far as him stepping forward with the civil rights agenda, that was completely a move to bribe the blacks to join the Democratic Party strictly for political gain and it worked. I can assure you that ole Lyndon would never have opened his home to help a black person, anymore then Catholic Nancy Pelosi wants immigrants to live with her in her house.
Hope you're right
Lots of explaining to do here Hottobe ... of course you won't, but capitalism (especially the type of capitalism we have) doesn't set us free ... you'll need to explain how you think it does. Seems you're the kind that might take a house cat out into the forest and "set it free", too, thinking you're doing it a favor.
Also, you charge Barrack Obama with 8 years of plotting "destruction of American values" .... again, I'm a bit confused. Are you specifically referring to the PPACA, the one that Republicans made 82 congressional attempts to obstruct & destroy, promising to replace it with a health plan much less expensive, broader in coverage, and would cover pre-existing conditions? Care to explain?
You got one anti-American thing he did? It seems to me that the Republicans went after him with everything they had. And still, he came through with no scandals.
Even when the republicans manufactured policy errors into criminal status, they went nowhere. So they talked about him in lies. He didn't take guns, increase abortions, close churches, outlaw Christmas (said it every year in official addresses Bill O' Reilly), bring in Sharia Law, deplete the military, make America a joke, cow tow to our enemies, etc etc.
You hate him because, first all you're from Maine and elected a fucking racist moron who didn't even maintain residence there through his term. Barack Obama came into office killing Somali pirates, rescuing American businesses, creating a stimulus for the economy that was growing until tRump crashed it last month, improved our standing in the world, killed Bin Ladin, delivered Health Care to more working Americans, brought Troops home (who should not have been in Iraq anyway) delivered health care, was a decent and thoughtful President, husband and *******, that you wouldn't mind your children being like (unlike the pussy grabber, wife cheating, corrupt, excuse maker in Chief there now). And, what really eats your craw is that people like Obama, and fucking hate tRump to the point, he won't be able to cheat and hold on to his seat.
