Trump was going full out racist, without any subtly
He was effectively saying let's bring back redlining to keep blacks out of the suburbs to protect our women
I have no words to express what a disgusting human being he is
and then in that interview he starts going batshit crazy talking about airplanes with thugs going to interrupt the Convention.

He is off his f**king rocker, and that he has the support he has is quite alarming

(732 posts)I just want to know, how they got past TSA with tools? I have seen knitting needles, lighters, liquids, wrenches, etc all taken at the gate. Next up, say for some reason TSA let them pass (maybe they are all in the CLEAR program?), next up that carry on weight limit. I promise you a bag of tools, going to be over the limit, unless your flying business/first. So what I am assuming is it was a plane full of only business class flyers who are all in the CLEAR program, now that's an elite group.

(9,426 posts)I went to read the attached article, and it feels like it was written by Maleria tRump. Strangely worded. This must be where Agent Orange gets his news. Someone please go and read it, tell me I am not "losing it".
FakeNoose
(32,634 posts)This article was written by a person who speaks English as a second language. Often they will write their article in their native language and have Google translate it for them.
There's nothing grammatically incorrect, however the writer uses words and phrases that seem awkward because it's not the way we normally speak. No you are NOT losing it, this is strange writing and no American (or English-speaking) journalist would write this way.
It makes me wonder who did write it, and what is their intent? What's this GNP News Magazine anyway, some kind of propaganda?

(42,862 posts)I still enjoy it very much. I know how to control my "experience" and my browser's ad-blocker eliminates 95% of the ads. It allows me to easily keep in touch with family members that I love. It's also a convenient way to chat and visit with nearby neighbors who are also quarantining. I much prefer to chat by text (at my own pace) rather than being stuck on a phone call.
Basically, I control FB, it doesn't control me.

The couple of stories I clicked were all written in the same pigeon english used in this story. I noticed that the comments section for the site had no comments. Maybe it was just put on line.

(2,312 posts)I've taught journalistic writing to second-language students for more than a decade, and I've also taught ESL for a short time, and this reads like something a Chinese student might translate/write if their English skills were at about sixth or seventh-grade level and had not studied a minute in an English-speaking country. Strained syntax, poor word choice, haphazard mechanics.
Not sure what it is, other than just another attempt to make money off the work of real journalists and reporters by re-writing and linking to their work you know, the stuff DUers love to spread (I'm looking at you, RawStory).
IronLionZion
(45,433 posts)There have been sites that simply aggregate and visualize content they pulled from Google News, and DUers have posted it here.
I agree that the writing is poor quality and seems foreign.
GNP is bad enough they don't even show up in Google searches. I wonder about DUers sometimes. It's best to support legit journalism, not this stuff.

there is NO OPTION that we play NICE with these people at all.

(61,695 posts)anything but their personal and business wealth. They don't have hate for POC because they are apathetic about everyone. They wouldn't care if trump was rationalizing police killing poor white people because they don't care about anything, as long as trump keeps the S&P and DJIA propped up, and he's promoting the new caste system.

(62,521 posts)she started saying some truly racist shit.
My mom, all her life, was an FDR Dem. Equal rights for all, etc.
but as she started going around the bend, she uttered things she never ever said before.
we got her the doc and sure enough: dementia.
now, I'm not saying that the orange asshole wasn't a racist before, I'm just saying the filter is off because of dementia.

(15,643 posts)12 hours the past two days. As I often do on such long drives, I tuned the radio to numerous right-wing talk shows (its easy, thats almost all there is along with sports on AM anymore) to see how they were spinning the latest events. All I heard was communists are invading our streets at the behest of Biden and the Marxist Democrats to stir up unrest, create chaos and violence in order to undermine Trump, the GOP and America. The talking heads are in lock-step on this. They are the ones sounding the alarms while we and the core fabric of American decency and are under attack by them. It is pure unmitigated evil.
