Trump attacks John Lewis to celebrate Martin Lurther King Jr. weekened.

[HUNTSVEGAZ]

As well as Buckhead, Midtown, Lenox, and other areas that are becoming too rich for a lot of cats' blood, but he's seeing a lot of unnecessary struggling. FOH.

Yall simple man. I dont care about that because we dont own none of that. Why should a damn city be too expensive to live in.? Anyway Im talking about this...unnecessary.
Fulton had the largest increase in "chronically failing" schools in metro Atlanta

and this
Atlanta named one of America's top 'murder capitals'

http://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/...a-top-murder-capitals/iazY5cSkTgXxs436eN8chL/

Respectfully...Rep John Lewis got plenty of shit in his immediate view then to be taking shots a cac that don't respect him the 1st place. Wasting time and energy...

 

[Ninja05]

Cats are too willing to take Cheeto Jesus' word for it, without actually looking at a 5th District map.

That's his default. Meryl Streep is a horrible actress, Atlanta is struggling, Obama the worst president ever, he is the biggest job creator ever. Fuck facts. He doesn't need them

You dont think blacks own property or businesses in the 5th district?

And again, whats any of this have to do with Trump making race based false accusations while attacking a civil rights icon?

You're making a complete ass of yourself my man.

 

[Camille]

LOL. Joy Reid clapping back at folks over John Lewis comments.

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Has @ballscout1 ever hit up that hand verification thread?

 

[jagu]

When was the last time you visited Atlanta?

Too much black wealth to be so much black struggle and dependent on white favor.

Here's a true reflection of what's going on in that district.

No

Wow. Now Steve Harvey gotta go on the radio on Monday and defend Trump.lol

Not really... and as stated, i acknowledge Atls collective black weatlh...maybe i just spent a lil too much time in places that didnt have access. Agree to disagree.

The point is,if Rep Lewis swing..expect to get swung on

 

[Amajorfucup]

The point is... you're a fucking moron.

Your initial response was to imply Trump was accurate in his accusation. Now when exposed to the truth you devolve into some "he started it" bullshit. Lewis called his looming presidency illegitimate based on intel supporting that notion. Trump responded with knee jerk race based ignorance that has been proven to be false.

Shut yo dumb ass up nigga.

 

[ballscout1]

this is dumb.

You would expect some shit like this to go ignored?

Also, you calling folks simple for ignoring the other shit, who's ignoring the other shit? The people are talking about it, media people are talking about it, who's ignoring it? Anyone who acknowledges this John Lewis story too?

You be coming dangerously close to talking out your ass fam

this shit is a distraction....if it's a diss then it's a diss what does it being the weekend before MLK is recognized have to do with it other than true and make it something more ?

.

 

[ballscout1]

You're missing the point. He is going to be the next President. It is MLK weekend when the sacrifices of MLK and other civil rights leaders are REMEMBERED and discussed. Yet he is either so ignorant about our history and the history of John Lewis, or so thoughtless and unaware of optics (unpresidential) or BOTH, that he would shit on someone highly respected and known for their action.

The same person who says he cares about African Americans is disrespecting one of our elders.

Now I don't expect Trump to be capable of more, and I'm sure Lewis isn't sweating this, but this is one more thing on top of all the other racially charged things he has said and done the past few years.

He probably only did it because Lawrence taunted him about it on his show last night.

sure it is.. Just like your thread that didn't deserve a sticky.....

but maybe I missed all the MLK events in your city thread...

You one of those that Harriet Tubman couldn't save cuz u didnt know you were a slave.

Shits all good in ATL. Bet.

 

[Amajorfucup]

You one of those that Harriet Tubman couldn't save cuz u didnt know you were a slave.

And you one of those she woulda shot in the fucking head because you were too fucking stupid to be saved.

 

[ballscout1]

Wow. Now Steve Harvey gotta go on the radio on Monday and defend Trump.lol

Why would he have to do that ?

Does him trying to get something done mean they are friends or that he even likes him ?

 

[ballscout1]

Disagree without being disagreeable

 

[HUNTSVEGAZ]

I bet you typed that hard as hell..

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

This has little to do with MLK, it has more to do with Trump being bitter and attacking every who attacked him during his campaign run.

 

[ballscout1]

Not just during the campaign...He still does

But why can he have a twitter account anyway ?

Don't forget he argued with and wouldn't take a question from the CNN reporter at the press conference.

 

[Pworld297]

People acting all shocked, it don't matter who it is. If Trump feels like you are attacking him there will be a response and honestly the people who support him don't care but let it have been Obama responding to all the bullshit they said about him. They would of been like he's not acting presidential. Fucking hypocrites!

 

[Pworld297]

I just made a post saying the same thing, if you say something he doesn't like, he will respond, he's thin skinned.

 

[Camille]

I know a lot don' t like Brazile anymore, but it's on topic so...

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Once he's officially in office.....all the Twitter rant shit will be toned down...imho.

You see how quickly Obama (and every other President) aged while they were in office? The stress from just being President will occupy Trumps mind. He wont have time to respond to every person who doesnt like him.

Like all Presidents, he'll be reading from a script 90% of the time. If he refuses to read from that script, he'll have problems.

 

[slewdem100]

And for Trump to assign poverty and crime to a black face merely because its a black face is some appalling shit... And all that sucka ass nigga can say is "is he lying tho?". What a disgrace.

This is the point that needs to be made...if the district is not how Trump describes it, then he needs to be asked why he made that assumption

 

[ViCiouS]

How is telling somebody they should be doing their job a diss ?

So if someone tries to tell you how to raise your child and you respond they should worry if their house is clean that is a diss ?

and MLK weekend is some sort of reverent time ?

for a politician _ what Trump now is- its incompetence on the level of a surgeon not reading an x ray and then not washing his hands before surgery

I don't know, Chi. Dude's been off script this whole time, and it's been working for him.

he will never be on script - his last press conference showed that plainly - he hurt congressional republicans with his antics that day

I don't think Chi is talking political hurt...

I'm not sure this is going to apply to him. I don't think he is interested in being president. I don't think he particularly even wanted to win, he just wanted the media attention. I think he is going to try to delegate as much as he can.

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Temporary red herring shit...imho.

Trumps disposition/bluntness is what gets under a lot of folks skin and makes them emotional. While we're getting emotional about Trump attacking John Lewis while he celebrates MLK day, what else is going on?

I'm not sure this is going to apply to him. I don't think he is interested in being president.

If you recall....Obama wasnt interested in being President either. Yet he served 8 years.

Trump's billions & Whiteness doesnt make him exempt...imho. It may earn him a few passes, but he's not exempt. He has to follow orders. Theres a lot of folks banking on him!

 

[ArsenalCannon357]

BRO!!!! FUCK NATHAN DEAL and SONNY PERDUE stop letting these fools get a pass on the local/state level! Stop letting them change the narrative

 

[xfactor]

What is funny to me is how many people don't understand psychology.

Trump is a megalomaniac and narcissist that has been vindicated by being elected to the most powerful government position in the free world.

Do you know what that does to people like him?

I'm sure he has a ledger of every person who slighted him and will spend his time going at each and every one of them while Pence is fucking up the country.

 

[WattDogs]

Everybody that can speak should be speaking about this.

Maybe y'all don't see what I'm seeing....

Cause I see Trump's trying to set a precedent by de-legitimatizing Rep. John Lewis' sacrifice on the eve of MLK Day.

Which will encourage these racist bastards to try & do the same.

This shit was planned accordingly.

Yes, Rep. Lewis can stand on his own two feet & his actions speak for themselves....but you have to realize, we're not dealing with thinking, rational people right now. We dealing with demagogues & hypocrites of the highest order whose only true goal is to completely destroy the legacy & ideal of ANY black person (from Obama to BLM & everything in between) being more than a 3/5 human being piece of chattel livestock. That's the reality. And the more we let Trump get away with shit, the more worse it becomes.

Just my thoughts....

 

[HNIC]

Nah, but Im all about self accountability before checkin somebody else. Im from AL so I know Jeff Sessions is a scumbag. I just feel we dont have time to wait on Gov to work in our favor. Rep. Lewis' district has had issues..even thru Obama.

I don't think his district is as fucked up as you think

I don't think he wanted the second term, but the situation isn't the same. When Obama ran, he was willing to accept the responsibility that goes along with the job and actually DO the job. Trump hasn't shown that he is willing to do this. He doesn't take the office seriously at all. He doesn't even seem to know what it entails.
