    Sorry but Trump said ..... THEY SAY......

    I personally long ago thought of nuking hurricanes. They are so deadly I was exploring ways to save lives along with property. I suspect millions have done the same.

    Trump did condition his comments on Windmills with THEY SAY.

    This came from Politifact.

    Trump made the off-hand remark at a fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee. As he often does, Trump attacked wind power as an energy source. (We checked his recent Mostly False claim that it leaves electric grids at the mercy of the wind.)

    "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value," Trump told his fellow Republicans April 2. "And they say the noise causes cancer."

    We asked the White House for evidence that wind turbine noise causes cancer. We didn’t hear back.

    The health impact of wind turbines has been a topic of much conjecture. The Australian parliament took the question seriously enough to form a Select Committee on Wind Turbines. The group was sympathetic to personal reports of discomfort, and the list of ailments it heard was long: "tinnitus, raised blood pressure, heart palpitations, tachycardia, stress, anxiety, vertigo, dizziness," and more.

    But no one complained of cancer. In its final 2015 report, the committee said more evidence was needed to establish a link to any illness.

    People today react too quickly these days. They act before they think. They deface a statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn the other day. He is Posed wearing trademark hat of course, those idiots most likely thought he was a Confederate soldier.

    I spent years as a very loyal Democrat. Bad then, things are now far worse.

    How is a comment about White people racist? That is they are Hispanic, of the heritage from Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula, and those people are White. If a person in a country where people are referred to as Hispanic, does not match the criteria of white, then doesn't the terminology follow the rules of the U.S.A.? For example one from Columbia? African-American or Jamaica, African West Indian?

    I listen to him talk. MSM doesn't play his many news conferences or when he talks. They prefer to wait til it's over then capsilize it with their own slant. I am not going to go and recover those for you. I know my President. You know your MSM.

    You can describe anything as "bigotry". Be more specific. You know being so racially sensitive means race is your main focus. That in itself is racist. Do you think black folks should be upset with Tylenol because they have to pick cotton to get to the product?

    Im not one to really be offended by comments about white people. Guess it’s my crude sense of humor that protects me :)

    As I understand it though the thought process is, minorities can not display prejudice or racism towards whites because whites “have all the power” or some such mess. Apparently you have to be “in power” to be racist. It’s failed logic at best, it’s utter racism itself at worst.

    That's such a well thought out and well written rebuttal. It conveys no information, or intelligence, though.

    I'm not talking about MSM. Go searching online - go to his website - your POTUS doesn't have a detailed policy platform for this campaign.

    I think that is the same for me also...I view things from a different view point. It's similar to what you shared in a way that makes me laugh at the absurd and for something different, I'll have normal.

    I believe that any attempts to classify people other than human first, or on a political sense to make laws pertaining to specifics that not everybody can be is wrong, such as laws pertaining to LGBTQrstuvwxyz, you get the point, in that why should hitting someone who is LGbtryuz...whatever, be any different than hitting anybody else.

    With that being said why should I have to give an eff what the eff you are? I guess I am a one crime fits all, cause you will be treated the same...equal. You kill a person cause he is black and found guilty. Just like any other death by murder...Death sentence.

    Apparently Joe's vision is your money. That goes to a donation page. But that got me to thinking, so...

    Why does Joe need your money? Top Ten list:

    10. If Joe is going to win...At this point what difference does my money make?
    09. Does Joe know how much he will need? Hillary did 2 to 1 and failed.
    08. Do I need to give money to be black or just vote?
    07. If it is just voting, is the money part reparations?
    06. Why does Joe think that people of color can't donate?
    05. Bloomberg says Bernie is a Russian agent and he supports Biden, so is Biden an asset too?
    04. Do the polls suggest he needs a lot of money?
    03. If Joe needs my money, is he trying to buy an election?
    02. Will Joe need the money to pay off whoever's speech he steals?
    01. How much is Cornpop giving?

    Great point.

    They are planning on segregating, but I wonder what determines if it is not race?

    You're just nitpicking

    But, if you can't handle it, or it bothers you too much, we'll call Trump a bigot.

    Feel better?

    Let us await the exposure of Donald Trump's tax returns and sources of finance and his prosecution for treachery and financial crimes.

    If you saw Trumps tax returns you wouldn't know how to read them. You'd make stuff up. The IRS has already seen them. That is enough for me. They've seen Al Sharptons too and he doesn't pay them. That's ok though.....he's black. He has liberals by the shorthairs.

    Rudy the clown and his tap dancers haven't stopped the music yet. The fool is making a disgrace of himself in his dotage.
