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.

The Roman emperor Hadrian renamed the province of Syria Judea to Syria Palestina. It was part of a series of punishments for revolting. The name was derived from Israel’s ancient, extinct enemies, the Phillistines. It remains an insult to Israel and Jews.
Helocopter list.
I’ve been worried about the press: their coverup of Biden’s condition was laid bare for all to see. The devastating implications of the debate have left them sad and woozy. This author shows they’re regaining their balance, getting back to the important business of making crap up, turning mole hills into mountains, etc. now they can be happy again
I personally flinched when Trump said that illegals are taking “black jobs”. That can be spun to indicate that he thinks certain less prestigious employment is what blacks should have.
Yes, we know he doesn’t think that way, but the enemedia will spin it there.
“..according to the United Nations.” The U.N. is as trustworthy as the WHO.
The newest immigrants legal or illegal have always been most likely to be hired to replace those who are on the lowest economic rung of the ladder. One reason is those jobs have high turnover making it harder for officials to keep track of the legalities of hiring.
Even well educated legal immigrants may not start off in the medical job they once had since getting U.S. credentials can be a daunting task. Meanwhile the local pub needs a dishwasher.
“Trump’s comments were far, far worse than anything Biden said.“
There is no common ground. These delusional fools must be defeated.
There sure are a lot of popular black conservative youtube channels.

If the Hamas-holes hadn’t started something, there wouldn’t be nothing.
The UN needs to be dragged out into the Atlantic and sunk with all hands aboard.
The hate resumes.
I’ve seen a ton of LinkedInposts from black people about their black jobs. Hilarious as nobody else gives a rats ass and the issue has gotten zero play in MSM. Black libtards are panicking because trump is gaining support among young black men who know Biden has done nothing for them.
As for the Palestinians nobody gives 2 craps about them and Trump surely won votes with that remark. They are apoplectic because the debate gave almost no time to their cause which is why they keep having tantrums at gay parades etc.
Nailed it!
People knew what Romney meant and people knew what Trump meant, but CNN has to make amends for what happened at the debate, so they're digging for anything to attack Trump with.

As USUAL... CNN's OPINION is a GREAT BIG NOTHING BURGER!
Gotta bring out the “THAT’S RACIST” card out again. It works so well. Maybe Biden can go out and tell blacks that if they don’t vote for him then “you ain’t black.” Or maybe tell the Queers for Palestine and Hamas supporters that they better not vote for Trump or “you ain’t a terrorist.” As if they were going to vote for Trump anyway.
“Black jobs” are the local jobs that black people have. It has nothing to do with “prestige” of those jobs. It was said within the context of employment rate for black Americans.
It wasn’t twisted because of how Trump said it. It was twisted because the folks doing the twisting aren’t acting in any sort of good faith in the discussion.
