They walk around thinking they’re journalists but they’re not…

Since last week’s presidential debate, we’ve seen nearly nonstop news coverage about whether President Joe Biden should drop out as the Democratic presidential contender, expressed in numerous op-eds, on political podcasts and on cable television.
But while Biden’s performance on Thursday is a legitimate issue, the media’s laser-focused coverage of it has resulted in former President Donald Trump all but being given a pass for vile and — in the opinion of many — racist remarks he made at the debate. And Trump’s comments were far, far worse than anything Biden said.
For starters, there was Trump’s use of the word Palestinian as a slur. This came up during a discussion of the war in Gaza, with Trump saying, “Let Israel finish the job.” He then criticized Biden for, in his view, restraining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military action. That’s the same military, it should be noted, that has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and dying, including many women and children, and according to the United Nations has unleashed an ever-growing humanitarian catastrophe along with the widespread destruction of residential homes.

And more so, the US needs to be right there with Israel in getting our hostages back. Weakness begs more of the same against us.
Imagine getting upset because a man suggests finishing off a terrorist group and mentions how many jobs he created for black folks.
Let the UN disarm Hamass.
====> Peace in our time.
As for blacks, only because cnn says so. Is there nothing that can’t be offensive to someone?

Joe’s going nowhere.
Here comes the spin.
Awww. Bless your lil ole media hearts. Things are hard for you now, aren’t they?
“...that once again reveals Trump’s own bigotry when it comes to the types of jobs he believes Latino Americans hold.”
Let’s see now, the illegals come here with nothing but the clothes on their backs and can’t speak English. They are entirely dependent of the American taxpayer for everything. I know it is racist of me to notice that, and if I were not racist I would not notice that.
I don’t think they will be applying for white collar, managerial jobs.
Palestinian is now a term connected in the American mind with the brutal rape and torture and slaughter of Israeli civilians.
By the way, this little snowflake can go to hell, or go back to the land of his father. The same thing.
They walk around thinking they’re journalists but they’re not…
Put through the CNN filter: hey guys, without you on the plantation, we don't have the veneer of legitimacy to continue to crush you under our heel. So we're going to try and get you to focus on some ginned up BS instead of paying attention to what we're actually doing.
In days of old, there was a term used primarily by the British elite:
“Philistine”
Defined: During the 1600s, as a result of the negative depiction of the Philistines in the Bible, the word philistine came to be applied figuratively to anyone considered an enemy. However, the modern sense of the word, “uncultured person,” stems from the slang of German university students in the 1600s.
This was a pejorative term (that of course today with PC language) would never be used in “good company”.
Yet, the so-called “Philistines” or today’s PALEOstinians prove time and time again that they are still living in the 7th century.
Wow. It took them 72 hours and the best they can do on the worst of DJT is an op-ed like THIS?
ROFLMAO
“That’s the same military, it should be noted, that has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and dying, including many women and children,”
Ah yes, the tens of thousands of imaginary dead and dying Palestinian casualties. Like the 500 imaginary casualties killed by the imaginary Israeli rocket attack on a hospital that turned out to be a Hamas rocket that killed few or none.
Found the problem:
“My late father was a Palestinian immigrant.”
You lost me after “CNN”.

Yes, Joe just had a bad day and Trump is still a danger to democracy.
‘Trump’s “Black jobs” remark shows that Trump has “a low opinion of Black people.”’
I guess they have to say things, but that is really weak especially when done to serve Biden.
Israel can’t kill enough of those 7th century savages to satisfy me. Can anyone imagine folks asking for mercy for the Nazis during WWII?
