In Trump's World:
Obama: Kenyan
LeBron James: dumb
Don Lemon: dumb
Maxine Waters: low IQ
black countries: shitholes
black athletes: SOBs
Black tenants: unwelcome
Black workers: lazy
Central Park 5: guilty
Mexicans: rapists
Muslims: terrorists
Indians: fake
Nazis: very fine people
While Trump had you focused
on a caravan of immigrants
an American
killed 12 people in a a bar
an American
killed 11 people in a synagogue
an American
sent pipe bombs to other Americans
an American
tried to shoot up a black church
an American
killed black people at a Kroger
Wen did you know Trump was racist?
1. Housing discrimination
2. Central Park 5 lie
3. Birtherism
4. Called Mexicans drug dealers
5. Ban on Muslims
6. Pardoned Joe Arpaio
7. Nazis are “very fine people”
8. Endorsed slave-supporter Roy Moore
9. Called black countries “shitholes”
Remember, if local authorities in Georgia had their way, no one would have ever been charged for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
It took weeks of protest before charges were even brought in the case, 74 days after Arbery was shot and killed in February 2020.
Anthony Weiner is in prison. Bill Clinton was impeached. Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey & Mark Halperin were fired. Al Franken and Charlie Rose apologized. Glenn Thrush was suspended. Louis C.K. was canceled. When will Donald Trump be held accountable?
A white guy with an AR-15 killed 4 blacks at a Waffle House. Trump never said a word about it. And the media let him slide.
A comedian told some jokes at a dinner, and the media are outraged.
Trump hosted Kyle Rittenhouse after he killed Black Lives Matter protesters.
Greg Abbott wants to pardon Daniel Perry, who murdered a Black Lives Matter protester.
Ron DeSantis is fundraising for Daniel Penny, who killed a Black man on a subway.
This is the Republican Party.
If Obama had spent 5 years lying about George Bush’s birth certificate, had 5 kids from 3 women, and his third wife was an immigrant who worked illegally in the US and posed nude in a magazine, he never would have made it through the first primary.
So Kushner was essentially working for Israel, Michael Flynn was working for Turkey, Paul Manafort was working for Ukraine, and Trump was working for Russia. But, hey, America First, right?
So, as I understand the Supreme Court, the government can arrest and jail you without Miranda rights, execute you even if your lawyer screws up, force you to have a baby, and use tax dollars to support religion.
But it can't protect your right to vote or keep you safe from guns.
If you are:
🔲 Black
🔲 Latino
🔲 Native American
🔲 Asian American
🔲 Muslim
🔲 A woman
🔲 A college student
🔲 Lesbian
🔲 Gay
🔲 Bisexual
🔲 Transgender
🔲 Queer
🔲 Non-European immigrant
🔲 Not rich
🔲 Not a Trump family member
Trump doesn't really care about you.
So here’s what happened today. The NYPD arrested me at 96th Street and West Side Highway while I was taking photos and video to post to Twitter. I told the police I was with the Press, they walked by me and then turned around and arrested me.
Somebody please inform Donald Trump that black unemployment was cut in half under President Obama, that Trump lied about it and denied it when it happened, and then inherited Obama’s economy and took credit for it.
"If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem. And my feeling is white people have a very, very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it.”

Dwyane Wade, who played 15 seasons in Miami and delivered three championships to South Florida, says he has left Florida because his family would not be accepted there.

15 yr old Black boy, Lucca picked up a cell phone that fell out of the pocket of a Black boy who was being arrested. In response
@browardsheriff
officers Christopher Krickovich & Greg LaCerra pepper sprayed, brutally beat, and arrested him.
He broke no laws.

A white kid calling black athletes "nigger jocks" may very well be a "youthful mistake," as conservatives are arguing on Twitter, but mistakes have consequences. This is 2019, not 1819. Harvard has every right to rescind that student's admission.
Researchers gave homeless people $750 per month for a year, no questions asked. The recipients spent the money on food, housing, transportation, clothing, and health care. And after six months, only 12% of those who received funds were still homeless.
If a Black man crossed state lines with an illegal AR-15, violated a local curfew in a city where he didn’t belong, carried his gun to a Tea Party protest where he was not welcome, murdered two people and injured a third, and then fled from police, Trump would not defend him.
Just finished Kanye West’s new album.
What does Christianity mean if you support a man who locks kids in cages, grabs women by the pussy, calls racists “very fine people,” lies about a black man’s birth certificate and won’t apologize to the wrongly accused Central Park Five?
The husband of a Democrat has an impromptu meeting on a plane with an attorney general and Republicans go apoplectic.
A Republican president fires the Attorney General, the FBI Director, the U.S. Attorney and five Inspectors General investigating him and Republicans do nothing.
1. Trump calls CNN "the enemy of the people."
Cesar Sayoc sends pipe bombs to CNN.
2. Trump tweets about "anarchists and agitators."
Kyle Rittenhouse kills two people in Kenosha.
3. Trump tweets "LIBERATE MICHIGAN."
Six men try to kidnap the Governor of Michigan.
Chris Cuomo: "You tell me how a president in the middle of a pandemic has got time for this bullshit...On your dime, in the middle of a pandemic, they're selling beans."
Imagine being Black Republican Senator Tim Scott voting against the historic nomination of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court while three of your white Republican colleagues vote for her. 😏
Thirty-four years after Donald Trump led a lynch mob to execute him and four other wrongly accused young Black and brown men, Yusef Salaam of the Exonerated Five has declared victory in the New York City Council race to represent Harlem.
Black guy killed by police: “He was no angel. He was arrested for jaywalking when he was 16.”
White guy murders five people: “He was having a rough week.”
Zaila Avant-garde, a 14-year-old from New Orleans, won the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee Thursday night by correctly spelling the word "murraya.” Zaila becomes the first African American national champion in the spelling bee’s history.
I knew it. Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense.
Trump speaks on:
Al Sharpton: conman
Elijah Cummings: racist
Ilhan Omar: racist
Maxine Waters: low IQ
John Lewis: all talk
Obama: Kenyan
black countries: shitholes
black athletes: SOBs
Black tenants: unwelcome
Black workers: lazy
Central Park 5: guilty
Nazis: very fine people
Former aide alleges Giuliani:
• Made her work naked
• Made her perform oral sex
• Drank all day and night
• Made racist remarks
• Made sexist remarks
• Made antisemitic remarks
• Didn’t pay his bills
• Sold Trump pardons for $2 million
This is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (
@RepJeffries
) drags Utah’s new Trump-supporting Black Republican (
@BurgessOwens
) for coming in on his first day and lecturing Democrats about patriotism when Owens voted to overturn the November election even after the Capitol insurrection.
Trump is gone and going on trial tomorrow. Netanyahu is on trial today. Mitch McConnell is no longer Senate majority leader. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been banned from House committees. Fox News has canceled Lou Dobbs. And people are getting vaccinated.
Not bad, 2021.

A Twitter user posted the entire “Super Mario Bros.” movie and got 9 million views before Twitter’s understaffed content moderators finally realized what was going on and took it down more than seven hours later.
Clarence Thomas has reported between $50,000 and $100,000 in annual income from a real estate company in recent years. There’s just one problem. The company went out of business in 2006. 🧐
• Indicted on criminal charges.
• Ordered to pay $5 million for sexual abuse/defamation.
• Ordered to pay a $25 million fraud settlement.
• Facing possible charges from Georgia and the DOJ.
• Impeached twice.
• And he’s the Republicans’ leading candidate for President.
Ketanji Brown Jackson received more votes (53-47) for her Supreme Court confirmation than Amy Coney Barrett (52-48), Brett Kavanaugh (50-48) or Clarence Thomas (52-48).
Trump thinks homelessness started two years ago.
Eric thinks Obama was president in 2008.
Don Jr. thinks Kamala Harris can't be black because her father's Jamaican.
Ivanka thinks she belongs at the G20 summit.
Melania thinks she's the most bullied person in the world.
Daniel Perry murdered 28-year-old Air Force veteran Garrett Foster. A jury convicted him on Friday. But Texas’s Republican Governor Greg Abbott plans to pardon him because he killed a Black Lives Matter protester.
“Law and order” is a lie. It’s open season for racism in America.
From the police interview of Daniel Perry, the man convicted of murder whom Gov. Greg Abbott now wants to pardon.
"I didn't want to give him a chance to aim at me, ya know?"
In an increasingly armed society, when do you get to shoot gun-carrying people and call it self-defense?
Andrew Lester told police he heard the doorbell ring, picked up his .32 caliber revolver, opened the interior door, “saw a black male,” was “scared to death,” and shot twice within seconds. He was released less than two hours later.

The Republican Party today made it clear as day that a peaceful Black man with a megaphone is more threatening to them than a thousand violent white men with deadly weapons.
Senator Cory Booker: "The president of the United States is a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation...that could end up before the Supreme Court," so any Trump SCOTUS nomination should be "delayed until the Mueller investigation is concluded."
A Texas judge has ruled that a school district can force Darryl George to cut his natural locs, despite the state’s CROWN Act that prohibits hairstyle discrimination. This is anti-Blackness in a country that they keep telling us has never been racist.
A group of friends pulled into a driveway to turn around when 65-year-old Kevin Monahan came out of a house and shot at the car, killing 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis.
America has more guns than people, and our sick, obsessive gun culture is killing us.
Imagine sitting in your apartment, lawfully minding your own business, when a police officer illegally breaks in and shoots you. Then the cop blames you for your own death because you ignored her orders in your own house.
If police officers are willing to assault a uniformed Army lieutenant like Caron Nazario while they’re being recorded on camera, imagine what they’re doing to ordinary civilians when they’re not on camera (and often even when they are being filmed).
So George Floyd was so big and strong that he had to be restrained for 9 minutes with a knee on his neck even as he lay on the ground unconscious and handcuffed.
But George Floyd was so weak, unhealthy, and fragile that he died from a totally routine police use of force.

: Do you think Joe Biden is a socialist?
Trump supporter: Yes.
Reporter: How would you define socialism?
Trump supporter: I define socialism as when you bring down your own country, your own race, because he’s not black.

Remember all those smash-and-grab videos of store theft? Now meet the suburban housewife and her husband behind an $8 million nationwide shoplifting ring. 😏
Imagine if Mike Bloomberg and Tom Steyer had spent half a billion dollars to help the Democrats win the Senate instead of financing their presidential campaigns.
President Obama:
In 2010, Republicans said death panels would get you.
In 2014, they said it was Ebola.
In 2016, they said it was Hillary’s emails.
Now in 2018, they’re blaming a bunch of poor refugees 1,000 miles away.
It’s another political stunt.
Days after winning an unprecedented $5 million sexual abuse and defamation case against Donald Trump, E. Jean Carroll says she is considering a new lawsuit after CNN provided a town hall forum for Trump to defame her again.
Ted Nugent went on stage and called President Obama a “piece of shit” and Hillary Clinton a “worthless bitch.” Then Trump invited him to the White House. Spare me all your fake outrage about Rashida Tlaib using a bad word to call for Trump’s impeachment.
Barack Obama had to be a double Ivy League graduate, President of the Harvard Law Review, a constitutional law professor, a bestselling author, and a United States Senator.
Trump had to remember five words in order.
Just read the summons. I was charged with “walking on the highway” and “disorderly conduct - blocking vehicular traffic.”
Mind you, I didn’t block any traffic. The road was already obstructed by the police and the protesters. All I did was record it.
Video shows a suspicious white man breaking windows at the Minneapolis Auto Zone and then walking away from the scene. This looks like an effort to instigate trouble in order to blame the protesters for the consequences.

Jeffrey Epstein, Alexander Acosta and R. Kelly all go down in the same week. So when will Donald Trump be held accountable for the rape charges against him?
Military trucks with soldiers have moved in place to protect the White House. I worked in the White House, and I’ve never seen anything like this. This does not look like America. This looks like a scene from Tiananmen Square in China in 1989.
Justice Sotomayor is warning us.
If Trump wins, the Supreme Court and the federal bench will be lost for decades.
And all of your progressive plans on jobs, health care, education, immigration or criminal justice reform will be struck down by the courts.
A Republican-dominated school board in Bucks County, Pennsylvania made national headlines for banning books. Then last week, Democrats won all 5 seats and swept them out of power.
The police took my photo but they never read me my Miranda rights and never charged me with any serious crime. After 6 hours in police custody, they finally let me out of jail with a summons to appear in court.
The police have way too much power.
A TV game show host (Trump) married to a model (Melania) has an affair with a porn star (Stormy Daniels), hires a movie producer (Mnuchin) and a reality show star (Omarosa) while his son has an affair with a singer (Aubrey O'Day). But Democrats are the ones with Hollywood values.
Farmington, NM police officer Zachary Christensen has resigned after video showed him roughing up a sixth grader. The officer denied he was using excessive force on the 11-year-old girl even after a school administrator told him she is not a threat to anyone.
Tennessee Republicans killed bills to tell eligible high school students how to register to vote and to study the use of college IDs to vote.
What’s worse is they did it with secret voice votes and moved TV cameras away from lawmakers so the public couldn’t see how they voted.
No disrespect to Green Book at the

, but many of us in the black community would like to see greater recognition for movies about the black experience and not just for movies that make the black experience comfortable for white audiences.
Four Republican Senators have now been implicated in this coronavirus insider trading scandal.
1. Richard Burr (NC)
2. Jim Inhofe (OK)
3. Ron Johnson (WI)
4. Kelly Loeffler (GA)
