Proud to be an American

I was just watching Smerconish on CNN and he was playing this song as he was discussing if people are proud to be Americans. It just made me realize how much I hated this corny song. What is your take in the song?

Edit: i guess I use to like the song when I was younger during the Gulf War, but over the years it had morphed into a Republican song instead of an American song.

Van Jones revisits three Trump voters as nation grapples with unrest

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/19/politics/van-jones-trump-voters/index.html

One guy is a lifelong Democrat who voted for trump in 2016 and is fed up with him, is leaning towards voting for him again...,may change his mind and vote for Biden if either Kamala Harris or Michele Obama are picked for VP. Really? That doesn’t make any sense and is one hell of a swing that you would go from Trump to Biden if Biden picks someone who is actually more liberal than him, but vote for Trump otherwise.

Another guy is black and has been a Republican all his life. The only time he voted for a Democrat was in 2008 when he voted for Obama, but was disappointed that he didn’t do more for black people. Again really, a black republican whose main concern is black people issues, but votes republican.

The thinking of some people just amazes me...SMH

JT Lewis is a so far up Trump's a$$

Young kid whose little brother died in the Sandy Hook shooting. Now he is running for a State senate seat and has turned into a right wing nutcase. This dude seems like he has Trump’s tweets on fast alert and is normally the first to respond and sucks up so much. Seems to me he is using his brother’s death as a career opportunity.

Real Clear Politics North Carolina polling average

Yeah I already know that real clear politics leans right, but this is ridiculous. For one, I hate how they pick and choose what polls to include in their averages. But take a look at what they are including for North Carolina (an OAN news poll). But what is even more ridiculous is normally when you click on the poll it brings you to the actual poll and breakdown. When you click on the OAN poll, all it is is a tweet.

Twitter Adds 'Manipulated Media' Tag To Trump Tweet About 'Racist Baby'

So let me get this straight...,Trump tweets a fake edited video of CNN, and then calls them fake news.

Conservative advertisements on DU

I for the life of me don’t understand why I always see trump and conservative advertising on this site (obviously before I login).....doesn’t seem like a smart investment, are they paying DU to run these adds? Or maybe I don’t understand how advertising works?

Bolton book

So by Trump trying time sue and for the Justice Department threatening to prosecute Bolton for writing about classified information, aren’t they admitting that the things in the book are true....
