[a.mann]

Its gonna affect "them" not us. Right?

Between whom and who?

One thing that I think people are not understanding is that Trump does not give a fuck about poor people. The majority of Trump's base is made up of people whom he would never sit across the table from.

What sides are fighting in a Civil War? It won't be Black people vs white people. It won't be rich people vs poor people either.

There needs to be sides for there to be a war. In Trump's eyes, nobody is on his side, and he truly believes that.

The way that Trump be talking most of the time it's always about red states vs blue states. He stays shittin on Chicago, NY, California, or whatever other blue state/city that he can come up with. Basically Republican states vs Democratic states.

Now now before you go fear mongering you need to answer this important question...what is the percentage break down of FBAs in those cities? Because we know they'll be safe right?

What exactly do you want the House Minority leader to do when the opposing party has the House, Senate, and the White House?

What do you want Hakeem Jefferies to do right now after he told you that this would happen if you didn't vote for Kamala in 2024?

I don't understand the handringing for Democrats.

They told you that these would be the consequences of electing Trump, and now niggas are looking for action after this past election minimized the Democrats' political power as much as it possibly could. Now niggas want to be dialed on on what's happening, but they couldn't tell the difference between voting for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in 2024?

How about not approve any of Trump's picks for a start? Or help out with the process of bring suits against Trump for sidestepping Congressional power? Hell, even if you're just going to pay lip service, get out there to all the news outlets and combat some of Trump's lies. I'm not saying that they would have been able to stop anything Trump's doing, Hakee hasn't done shit. There have actually been Congresspeople out trying to do things be it taking part in protests or visiting immigration prisons to put pressure on the people there. So I don't want hear anyone acting like there's nothing he can do at all.

Get off the "Well, you didn't know the difference between voting for Kamala and Donald" bullshit. Plenty of us did, but just because we knew it would be mad doesn't mean we should be ok with Democratic throwing up their hands and surrendering. The Reps don't do that. When they are in the minority, they still pull every dirty trick there is to impede the Dems from doing anything. Obama had a super majority and still got stonewalled. But when the Dems are down, it's ok for them to watch the country burn and just be like "Well, we might do something one day." FOH

Hakeem Jeffries is trash. I can't take anyone defending him seriously. Black people people are losing jobs at a historic rate because of anti-DEI backlash, citizens are being snatched off the street and disappeared, the economy is being tanked because of stupid tariffs, and we're supporting a genocide. All that's happening right now and Hakeem be talking about "We're waiting until the time is right to make our move."

Now now...don't you go falling for that propaganda affecting Black folks. And remember..."Copmala" would've done all this same stuff.

They do this because it’s so much easier to attack democrats. Everybody had the chance to stop this in the election and instead went crazy in a thread about Kamala’s blackness.

The people bashing Kamala had nothing to say about Project 2025, nothing to say about the anti-DEI policies they proposed, nothing to say about their proposal to fire half the fed, etc. All they had to say was “well we already know what they about.”

And I’m thinking, if you know, why are you so cool with letting it happen?! To score online brownie points and seem like you no better than everyone else?

And now they say it’s still democrats fault for not putting up the perfect candidate, smh.

I hate when he’s on that show. Definitely republican light posing as a democrat. I like when Jessica Tarlov is on there. There’s a black dude that came on there like twice and was giving their ass the business too (pause). Guess he was too much for them though cause I never saw dude again after that week.

I watched it more when Biden was president to get different perspectives, but now it’s just all Trump ass kissing. So now I only watch it when Jessica is on there and fast forward to her parts. The only thing I don’t like about her is she’s Jewish so she gives Israel a pass sometimes.

I watch most shows though on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. For Fox though just this and Brett Baier. Can’t stand to watch Ingraham and Hannity.

Not going to lie, if anybody could do it it’s Trump. Especially since he’s getting bribed to do it. Plus there’s not a lot of pushback given all of the states that have already went that way.

Difference is there will be no programs to help black people start small businesses around it.

True. I misinterpreted your post to mean he might not get it done because others didn’t. You’re right though, it’s not a novel idea or a tough decision to make.
