Another Democrat double standard

[MoonPieBlue]

OK, just for starters, has anybody ever watched the Trevor Noah Daily Show and if so what are your impressions? Just wondering since from the commercials I've seen there doesn't appear to be any reason for this person to be on any show. He just doesn't come off as having any entertainment quality. If someone tells me different perhaps I'll watch just to see if he's as big an ass clown as I think he would be.

I have no problem with people voting by mail using the absentee system, which I believe is what Trump does (not that Hilary would point that out). Are there any reasons this can't be followed easily?

NYT OpEd’s resignation letter is going to leave a mark

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.

There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong.

I do not understand how you have allowed this kind of behavior to go on inside your company in full view of the paper’s entire staff and the public. And I certainly can’t square how you and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery

I wouldn't consider Bari Weiss a centrist, but the problem is that she is not a full blown Marxist/Communist. You must be that far left in order to survive in today's democratic party and propaganda outlets.

Yes indeed! Liberals on here still don’t get the depth of the evil and Marxist ends and wants of whom they vote for and support. These insane idiot’s next step would be gas chambers for conservatives, Christians, Jews and Independents in general. Here’s the link.

I am more and more convinced that only a major purge in our society will rid us of this leftist cancer. It's everywhere and firmly rooted. I keep hoping and praying we can accomplish this via the ballot box, and that true American Patriots will rise up to fight this creeping leftist disease. But, if not by the ballot box then for the sake of the world, something more needs to be done.

Is this the worst Snopes article of all time? And to say Snopes isn't biased :rofl: .. Re: Kamala Harris's family owning slaves...


the father of Kamala Harris, Donald J. Harris, is from Jamaica and wrote an articlea bout his heritage that Snopes links and quotes. the important quote, from Kamala Harris' father, is:

quote:

---

My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town)

---

so her father, the person who isn't from America and who was writing about "that side of the family", fully admits her ancestors owned slaves

Snopes responds:



THEY ACTUALLY DID AN AMATEUR GENEALOGY REPORT ON HARRIS' FAMILY

quote:

---

We discovered ample evidence of Brown’s slave ownership and his political and business career on the island of Jamaica. However, details about his immediate family are lacking, by comparison.

---

oh, and just to cover their ass in case it's proven by actual research (or, you know, the actual family at issue admitting such things), this final paragraph:

quote:

---

Even if it is the case that the Harris family, by way of Christiana Brown, are descendants of Hamilton Brown, those who seek to attack or undermine Sen. Harris for the wrongdoing of a man who died almost 200 years ago should first gain a better understanding of the often complicated, traumatic histories of black families in the United States — and tread much more carefully.

So, we're supposed to give consideration to the circumstances of people who lived 200 years ago and not directly relate them to societal norms of today? Wow! what a concept!

I don't think this will happen. Harris on VP ticket is not going to bring out the black vote. More and more people are seeing through the BS that the democrat party has been pushing for 3 years. Their lack of action with all of the riots has cemented this. Also people know Joe is going down fast, people know this. They also want a choice in who gets to be POTUS, not POTUS through succession. A vote for Biden is a vote for defunding of police, Antifa, socialism.. Vast majority of US does not want this.

Yes to the above.

And here the cheater, double standard regressive Dems and media go again.

Dems' 'rules' to media on Biden VP pick exposes hypocritical treatment of conservative women
Conservative women know how to handle personal and unfair coverage because that’s what they mostly receive


Media organizations have just been warned by the Democratic Party machine that they better be very, very careful with how they cover presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s vice presidential choice — just revealed to be Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. Any criticism of the expected woman will be considered racist and sexist, we are told. Oh, they wrap up that threat in a word salad, but that’s the bottom line: There should be second and even third thoughts about any criticism of Mr. Biden’s VP pick.

An actual memo went out from an ad hoc group of Democratic operatives (pretending to be advocates for women) to media organizations with orders on how to proceed with their coverage. The fact that they expected this partisan missive to be accepted and adhered to by media entities tells you all you need to know about the problem with today’s legacy media.

For decades, the Democrats have enjoyed a pliant media. Ranging from covering up for John F. Kennedy’s affairs, to ignoring Hillary Clinton’s health and corruption issues during the 2016 race, the media certainly have never needed such a public reminder about their duty to handle a Democratic politician like a fragile and special, golden egg. So why now?

Interesting read from Newt.

Kamala Harris is an anti-Catholic bigot

This says a lot about the strength of Biden's Catholic background under pressure from the anti-religious left


Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s choice as his vice presidential running mate — Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.— is the most openly anti-Catholic bigot to be on a national ticket in modern times.


Harris’ record is perfectly clear. She is openly anti-Catholic in confirming federal judges, wanting to prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor, closing Catholic Hospitals that don’t join her union allies, and favoring taxpayer-paid abortions up until birth (in fact, she has twice voted against bills that would ensure that babies who lived through abortion procedures get medical care).

In many ways, Harris’ bigotry against Catholics is a perfect example of the modern radical left’s ideology of “intolerant tolerance” that I outline in my latest bestselling book, “Trump and the American Future.”

CATHOLIC LEADER ACCUSES KAMALA HARRIS OF BEING ‘RINGLEADER OF ANTI-CATHOLIC BULLYING’ IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY


The most explicit example of Harris’ anti-Catholic bigotry was her treatment of now-U.S. District Judge Brian Buescher during his Senate confirmation hearing.

Specifically, Harris questioned Buescher’s membership in the Knights of Columbus — a faith-based charitable organization that feeds the poor, assists in disaster relief around the globe, provides scholarships for struggling students, helps refugees fleeing violence and persecution, and carries out a host of other philanthropic efforts.
