Here is Abby Phillip (CNN) getting steamrollered by Donalds on that (he cuts his time frame of discussion off at 1964/65/66 or so, he points out the southern Dems were against the civil rights legislation, and that the Republicans helped push it through, and she lets it go, she doesn't broach the subject of the next 15 years or so (culminating with the white Reagan Democrats in 1980 and 1984) and the migration of the racist elements in the Democratc Party migrating over to the Rethugs and also blacks leaving the Rethugs and massively flipping to the Dems):

He should wear that tag like a cheap suit for the remainder of his political career.

(53,695 posts)I post far less than I did a couple years ago although I haven't lost interest in Democratic Party goals or my association with DU. I hold the members here with high regard.
Much aloha and Mahalo to you for being a good friend and solid Democrat.

(113,973 posts)Okay... Sure, let's have happy families with a full set of parents--however that is constituted (don't you know he'd just be fine with two fathers or two mothers? LOL )
So, next, Byron, let's discuss domestic violence in so many of those "happy" homes today--which of course are "perfect" as long as there is a "father" in the home. Of course that doesn't exist any more than the horrors associated with the perceived "blissful" Jim Crow South.
Is he this uneducated or that cynical to be using such BS to defend his kowtowing to MAGA? (probably BOTH)

(23,498 posts)"In GOP impeachment inquiry, texts dont prove that Joe Biden was in business with Hunter Biden"
"A single line of a text message from James Biden to Hunter Biden that read, "I can work with you(r) father alone," does not prove President Joe Biden was "in business" with his son.
An investigators summary of the text message exchange shows that James Bidens message was about family matters such as alimony and tuition, not business."
During the Sept. 28 impeachment inquiry hearing, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., displayed an image that looked like an iPhone screenshot.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., showed this image during the Sept. 28, 2023, impeachment inquiry hearing. (Screenshot from C-SPAN)
"Hunter Biden was in a bad way, by the way," Donalds said, introducing the message. "He was really strung out. He lost a bunch of money. He needed help."
Later in the hearing, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said the image had been "fabricated" and was "not the actual, direct screenshot from that phone." She asked to share what she called the "full context" of the message exchange.
"What was brought out from that fabricated image excluded critical context that changed the underlying meaning," Ocasio-Cortez said, holding up a printed document that was a portion of the source material for the message Donalds had displayed.

What the message really showed was Hunter Biden telling his uncle that he would work day and night to repay the money and that it was for rent and other necessities. And his uncle Jim Biden telling him that they would help that he needed as "safe harbor" to land on. It was entirely about helping out Hunter Biden because of his crack addiction and NOT about some plant with China to fraudulently bring money over to him

I hope this makes some sense. I tried to get all the information in.

(383 posts)As a Black man people like Donalds are a disgrace and a joke. They don't believe any of what they say. Hating on their own people is a shortcut to power and wealth. No low is too low for people like him. The sad reality is that they know that saying this nonsense is harmful but they just don't care. Donalds, Candace, Tim Scott, Thomas and others are just grifters and scammers.

(3,109 posts)How many times did he say gaslighting? It sounded like he learned a new word, but he didnt really know what it meant. Actually , he is a true republiCon
accuse the other side of what you are doing.
I never said things were better under Jim Crow. Yea, thats pretty much what you said.
