Update: Vice President Kamala Harris is now the Democratic presidential nominee
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
Yet she agreed with him over and over again while she was in office. She helped make him who he is.
Let's se:
1. I like having a country. You cannot have one with open borders. Look at at the liberal states that declared themselves as "sanctuary cities". They initially begged for the illegals. Once the illegals flooded their state and overwhelmed their resources, they made a complete U-Turn. Do you have no problem with people skipping across a hole in the border and getting better treatment than those here for years doing it the correct way? There are illegals with free: clothes, health care, schooling for their kids, money, hosing. They are treated better than you. Do you NOT see a problem with this?
2. I don't like this environment of wars we are in under Harris/Biden. Biden/Harris is funneling US taxpayer money to Ukraine. Are you okay with that? What is the end goal? They are no closer to winning the war since the start of the war. There is no end to the war outside of cutting-off the funding and military support
3. I liked having low inflation. Under Trump it was between 1.2 - 2.4 during his tenure. Under Harris/Biden, it was at 9% at the highs.
4. I like affordable Homes
Now these are just a trickle of undeniable FACTS. Now tell me, who exactly is the "fool"?
You guys are truly low IQ.
Do you not se the hypocicy? When Biden was running, EVERY single mainstream news anchor and all of the people on this forum said age wasn't an issue. They said its "agist" to talk about that. Now Biden is on the beach and Trump is running against Harrris, these very same people are saying Trump is too old. The hypocrisy is incredible!

not surprised at all
no senisble man is gonna listen to this bald punkYou do it, stop riling up other faggot
I don't know what percentage of the Black population was made up of Black immigrants... prior to 1965.
Honestly, I don't give a fuxk.
But I tell you what...
Go cite some black immigrant population numbers during Marcus Garvey's time period & get back to me.
He was born in Jamaica.
And he had MILLIONS of UNIA members trying to get back to Africa... Garvey himself claimed he had at least 6 MILLION members in UNIA... and it is beyond dispute that MILLIONS were involved with... and directly affected by Garvey and his message.
When you get done researching those black immigration "percentages" from the Reconstruction Era to the Great Depression...be sure to tell us "how much" reparation money Marcus Garvey's descendants are entitled to... And "how much" reparation money the descendants of those MILLIONS OF UNIA MEMBERS are entitled to.
- You think every last one of Marcus Garvey's millions of UNIA members were ALL born on some slave plantation in the South?
- You think NONE of them were immigrants?
- You think less than 1 MILLION of them were immigrants?
Then let us know if Marcus Garvey's relatives deserve to GET PAID reparations waaaaay BEFORE your family does? Or nah?
After you do all of that.... you can let me know "which black folks" were EXEMPT from Jim Crow Laws.
Of course you don’t know the answer so I will give it to you. It was LESS THAN ONE PERCENT!! The vast majority of Black immigrants to the United States have come since 1980, and were not of the lineage of ppl affected by American chattel slavery and Jim Crow!
And Marcus Garvey was a fraud and charlatan who A Philip Randolph and DuBois ran the fuck up outta here because of the bullshit scams he was running. And he died in London, England. Never went to Africa. Just another bullshit pan-Africanist. So fuck him and his tethering descendants, and none of them are from my people’s struggle and don’t deserve a goddamn dime of what is owed to us.
Why are none of you mentioning her VP suck soo badly that his family is endorsing Trump?

Members of Tim Walz’s extended family have shared a photo wearing T-shirts in support of former president Donald Trump.
The image of the eight relatives shows them wearing grammatically incorrect “Walz’s for Trump” shirts, and standing in front of a “Trump 2024” flag that also reads: “Take America back.”
The image was shared by a family friend and posted on X by Charles Herbster, a former Republican candidate for governor in Nebraska, where the Democratic vice presidential nominee grew up.
“Tim Walz’s family back in Nebraska wants you to know something,” Herbster wrote on X.
Trump also shared it on his Truth Social profile.
A spokesperson for Herbster told Newsweek that the people in the image are related to Walz via his great-uncle - his grandfather’s brother. The family reportedly permitted Herbster to share it online.
On Facebook, Jeff Walz wrote that his brother was “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”

How do they just get the print money like that? Start a bullshit stock, overvalue it, then dump it and make a grip. Fuck Trump, man
Bitcoin never happened in your world?
I don't know what you mean by that
You realize that it was all of Trumps shitty economics, fucking tariffs, fucking the Saudis over oil production, trillions in tax cuts for the ultra rich, and failed pandemic response that cause a lot of this. He inherited a good economy from Obama and did everything he could to trash it.
Maybe if the orange fuck wasn't so stupid, Putin wouldn't feel emboldened to do that shit in Ukraine.
Are you fucking ready for the us dollar to not be the global currency? Why the fuck do you think we police areas around the planet? To spread democracy, or to keep the dollar in place and our access to cheap resources?
Fall back child, your simplistic faux news outlook on America politics wreaks of naivety.
Malcolm X DISAGREED with yo' clown ass.
I'd rather listen to HIS opinion of Marcus Garvey................. than YOUR dumbass opinion.
You think Malcolm X & Martin Luther King were influenced by.... a CHARLATAN?
You think your opinion is MORE VALID than Malcolm X's opinion of Marcus Garvey??
Stay in your lane.
Who were the Black people that "Jim Crow Laws" DID NOT apply to?
You still didn't answer that shit.

With Biden's presidency coming to an end I think it's time this sister gets her flowers.
She's held his administration down in this position during a time when most of the criticism, controversy (real or not), etc. was at it's peak and did a damn good job holding them down.
Even if Harris wins it's unlikely she'll remain in that role so I hope she's able to capitalize off of that position as others before her have.
Activists charged with pushing Russian propaganda go on trial in Florida

Omali Yeshitela is one of four Americans who have pleaded not guilty to conspiring on behalf of Russia. “We’re just a vehicle that’s being used to assault free speech,” he said in an interview.
An unusual trial scheduled to begin on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., involves obscure candidates for local office, activist groups far outside the political mainstream and relatively little money changing hands.
But experts say it offers a rare glimpse into how Russia has tried for decades to secretly influence American politics.
Prosecutors say that Russia, in relatively low-tech fashion, sought out a sympathetic group in the United States, invited its leader to visit Moscow and established a long-term relationship through calls, email and electronic messages. The group, which has long had a presence in St. Petersburg, Fla., then promoted Russian views on its website, social media accounts and radio station. One post argued that Russian athletes should be allowed to participate in the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Four Americans face charges that they conspired to have other U.S. citizens act as illegal agents of the Russian government, or that they acted as unregistered Russian agents themselves. The prosecutors say that Russians directed them — and in some cases, paid them — to push Russian propaganda, including after their country invaded Ukraine in 2022.
The defendants, who have pleaded not guilty, say that the U.S. government is criminalizing dissent protected under the First Amendment. All four of them are current or former members of the African People’s Socialist Party, an organization promoting Black power; three are also members of the Uhuru Movement, the party’s activist arm, which is based in St. Petersburg and St. Louis.
One of the defendants also founded a different group, Black Hammer, a radical Black separatist organization in Atlanta. The Uhuru Movement supports self-determination for Black people and has protested issues from racism and colonialism to local police conduct for decades.
“We are innocent of what they claim we’ve done,” Omali Yeshitela, the chairman of the Uhuru Movement and one of the defendants, said in an interview. “We’re just a vehicle that’s being used to assault free speech.”
Regardless of the outcome of the trial, which is expected to last about four weeks, experts say it offers a window into how the Russian government has long tried to influence U.S. elections and promote Russia’s geopolitical agenda.
“Infiltrating social movements has been core to Russian espionage since the 1950s,” said Bret Schafer, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund, a Washington-based research group that promotes democracy. Some of the infiltration attempts involve unwitting Americans, he added.
In the Florida case, which did not result in any pro-Russia candidate elected to public office, the payoff for Russia may seem exceedingly small. But on a broader level, Mr. Schafer said, Russia wants more “authentic” American groups to adopt Russia’s perspective.
“Even if they are not in a real position of power,” he said, “if you can infiltrate and influence enough of these groups and have them at some level adopting positions that are beneficial to you — and that doesn’t necessarily mean pro-Russian positions, but just to further radicalize them and create further divisions — we know that’s obviously a win for Russia.”
In the 2023 indictment of Mr. Yeshitela and his co-defendants, prosecutors said that a Russian man, Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, engaged with the four and with unnamed co-conspirators for years, urging them to make pro-Russian statements while he backed their unsuccessful campaigns for the St. Petersburg City Council in 2017 and 2019.
According to prosecutors, the events took place between 2014 and 2022, and Mr. Ionov worked with the F.S.B., a Russian intelligence agency. Mr. Ionov was indicted in the case in 2022; two other Russians, Aleksey Borisovich Sukhodolov and Yegor Sergeyevich Popov, both apparent F.S.B. officials, were indicted in 2023. None of the three are in the United States at this point and therefore will likely never face trial.
Mr. Yeshitela’s co-defendants are Penny Joanne Hess, an Uhuru Movement leader; Jesse Nevel, an Uhuru Movement member; and Augustus C. Romain Jr., a former African People’s Socialist Party member and founder of Black Hammer.
The relationship between Russia and the Uhuru Movement began after Mr. Ionov paid for Mr. Yeshitela to travel to Moscow twice in 2015, the indictment says. Mr. Ionov acted through his organization, the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, which prosecutors say was funded by the Russian government.
They say that Mr. Ionov paid the Uhuru Movement nearly $7,000 to conduct a four-city protest tour in 2016 drawing attention to a “Petition on Crime of Genocide Against African People in the United States,” which it had previously submitted to the United Nations.

Mr. Yeshitela, center, with fellow defendants Penny Joanne Hess, left, and Jesse Nevel. Each faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
In 2019, the indictment says, Mr. Ionov referred in communications with his F.S.B. handlers to a St. Petersburg City Council candidate “whom we supervise,” adding that he consulted on the campaign “every week.”
The only Uhuru Movement member to run for the City Council that year was Akilé Anai, whose name appeared on the ballot as Eritha “Akilé” Cainion. She received about 18 percent of the vote in the runoff election and lost. She has not been charged in the case and is unnamed in the indictment.
In 2022, the indictment says, Mr. Ionov provided designs for protest signs and paid nearly $3,000 for Mr. Romain and three other Black Hammer members to travel to San Francisco to protest at the headquarters of an unnamed social media company that restricted pro-Russian posts about the invasion of Ukraine. News articles at the time reported on a protest outside Meta, the company that owns Facebook.
Mr. Romain later protested United States policy on Russia in Atlanta in 2022, also at the direction of Mr. Ionov, the indictment says.
Mark O’Brien, a lawyer assisting Mr. Romain, said in written responses to questions that Mr. Romain “never knew he was dealing with the Russian government,” has no relationship with the other defendants and plans to testify at trial.
Mr. Yeshitela, who is 82, acknowledged traveling to Russia and other countries for conferences. But he and his lawyers denied that the defendants acted at the direction and control of Russia, saying their actions were protected speech consistent with their political views. Those views simply did not align with U.S. policy, the lawyers said.
And the group considered the payments sent by Mr. Ionov to be donations backing the Uhuru Movement’s actions, not payment for actions on behalf of Russia.
“We’ve been doing this work now for more than 50 years,” Mr. Yeshitela said.
The maximum penalty that Mr. Yeshitela, Ms. Hess and Mr. Nevel could face is 10 years in prison for failing to register as a foreign agent and five years for the charge of conspiring to have others act as Russian agents.
Mr. Romain, who was not charged with failing to register as a foreign agent, could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison. He is defending himself in court.
