I’m old enough to remember when Trump* took out a full page ad in the New York Times to call for the public execution of five black children who were falsely accused of attacking a white jogger in Central Park.

And all you need to know about America in 2020, is that Trump* won’t speak out or condemn, the lynching of a black man in broad daylight, because he fears it would anger his base.

If a 25 year-old white jogger had been murdered by two black men on Feb. 23 in the State of Georgia, they would already be on death row and Trump* would be using them as an example of what his base should fear at the next MAGA rally.

That is a false statement. He did not call for the execution of five black children. Post the ad.

If the economy makes any kind of a comeback between now and then, and is seen as having momentum, Biden is in a tough spot.

People forget what a terrible campaigner he is. And that was when he was playing with a full deck.

Me too. And man is it going to be bitter on all sides. But I'm warming up to our chances against Biden. Thank God it's not Michelle Obama.

And it was about the police being overly restricted and the justice system being overly psychoanalytic and lenient. His call for the death penalty was for murderers (who were given prison sentences rather than execution), not for the Central Park Five.

It is that fake news trick to "interpret" or portray or characterize what is said by Trump in a negative way as has so often been exposed on this forum. And it is a very effective trick as you're being duped by it shows.
