Charles is a loose deck gun. At least he’s honest.

Politics is always sort of ridiculous. Politicians love and hate each other as it suits their interests. Nothing new there Charles.

Go watch Biden’s Abortion rally in Manassas, VA.

No one knows what Biden gurgled or meant and the crowd went wild.

Gibberish rewarded

Charles most definitely is clickbait for pretty much anything he is saying.

Barkley, who has been a decent conservative including publicly, was commenting more on Scott than Trump.

He was saying the notion that a black man kissing up to Trump (and he did say “I just love you” - almost like Joe Namath trying the kissing on the sideline!) and being VP choice was not going to send black men to the polls for Trump.

Basically he’s right.

Trump seemed to make some inroads with blacks, but still not nearly enough. They are so ingrained in welfare-gimmedats that it’ll take ages to get them at least reasonably 50%.

Johnson was right.

Hey, old Charles was a great player and is sometimes funny, like in a minstrelsy show.

I think a lot of black men like Trump. But the black women are a lost cause.

It’d be nice if that poorly designed website actually included the text of what he said rather than have 50 gazillion ads and massive weather graphics and another link to play a video.

No thanks.

Doesn’t Tim know that Blacks aren’t supposed to be Republicans? After all, Democrats with their welfare programs and payments for each illegitimate child born in the ghetto they created buys Democrat votes. Democrats were so kind to Blacks they didn’t require them to work but rather just sit on the porch in the ‘hood’ and collect the gub’ment check.

So if a white person went to a Tim Scott campaign rally, would that white person be called out for being there?

The reality, Charles’ and other’s like comments would be called “racist” in any other time.
