THIS GUY...



Nick Fuentes had a private dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Largo, and Trump commented that "...this guy gets me."

Just as the stench of Robert Byrd will never come off Hillary and Sleepy Joe.

"As a leader, Robert Byrd organized and was the Exalted Cyclops of a KKK chapter in Sophia, W.Va. He was never a “Grand Dragon,” and a Klan member for about a year.

He began his federal career as a member of the House of Representatives in 1952, then was a U.S. Senator for 51 years, from 1958 until his death in 2010 at the age of 92. As a senator, his racism was evident in his opposition to much legislation to include the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965. His racism cannot be denied.

All of us change and our thinking evolves as we go through life. Byrd hired one of the first Black congressional aides on Capitol Hill in 1959 and initiated the racial integration of the U.S. Capitol Police for the first time since Reconstruction. In a C-SPAN interview, he said the death of his grandson in a 1982 auto accident radically changed his views. The profound grief he felt made him realize that African-Americans loved their children as much as he loved his own.

In 1983, he voted, unlike many Democrats, to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday.

In a 2001 interview, Byrd said of race relations:

“They’re much, much better than they’ve ever been in my lifetime … I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us. I just think we talk so much about it that we create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, ‘Robert, you can’t go to Heaven if you hate anybody.’ We practice that.”

Robert Byrd evolved, changing for the good. He apologized for his intolerant past.

In the end, the political legacy of Robert Byrd went from admitting his former membership in the KKK to winning the accolades of the NAACP. In 2005, Byrd sponsored a bill allocating an additional $10 million for the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C.

When Byrd died, in 2010, the NAACP released a statement saying that over the course of his life he “became a champion for civil rights and liberties” and “came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda.”

Although his name is usually used with the terms KKK and racist, should we not look to where his beliefs evolved? He acknowledged and repented."

Really bad choice of example for a stench, -FJ.

There's no stench from anyone who acknowledges his or her past racism, words, and actions that were reprehensible and wrong.

JD Vance, as another example, is being blessed by Trump and elevated as his running mate, despite having said Trump might be "America's Hitler" and "a cynical arsehole." LOL!

I see the opening comment comes from pure jackassery.

Curious:

A Trump supporter wrote: "What I love about Trump is that he OWNS Trump, Inc… it isn’t a “shareholder-managed” entity so much as a Trump-managed one. He isn’t responsive to shareholders, so much as to himself.

He takes his own risks, and doesn’t “manage them” for someone else."

Some of those "risks" involved not paying small business contractors what he owed them. That "risk taking" put some of those independent small businesses OUT OF BUSINESS.

Another one of his "risk taking actions" was setting up a fake Trump University and then being sued by the people he scammed. Consequently he had to settle for $25 million and make whole some of the people he cheated out of their money.

Isn't it amazing how cultists can completely overlook the crimes and the dishonesty of Trump, the politician they worship, because they are not able to be honest with themselves where it concerns Trump and his history of cheating, lying, and fraud.

Senator Byrd deserved, and deserves nothing but respect and and admiration for what can only be considered his enlightenment.

It remains -FJ is the disingenuous actor. As are all MAGA.

...and so Vance has renounced his anti-Trumpian heresy's. Hurray! We can celebrate him now!

Shaw, and others...

Don't fall for -FJ and his work to distract. It's his MO and his gift, as he's stated and shown many times.

-FJ never responds directly to questions or posts because he can't. There simply is no dispositive to many of your posts for people like him to argue, so it's easier to distract.

I'd say if he can't post on topic, don't post him. But if you do decide, as I know you do sometimes, to post his idiocy for all to see, just say that's why you're posting it and let it go.

Because -FJ, like all his alter egos, is not here to actually bring anything positive to the table.

I can’t be checking comment moderation all day. I don’t have time to keep up with all of -FJ and his other personas’ comments. Some get published, some don’t.

We all know from reading - FJ’s comments that he likes to stir things up and see his name in the comments. I publish him for the sake of not turning this blog into an echo chamber, like the Geeez blog.

PS. I’ve been reading a lot about what happened at Trump’s last rally, and there are aLOT of unanswered questions. And a lot of things that don’t add up.

More later.

I really do appreciate your letting me comment here, Shaw. And yes, I have very scattered thoughts that lead to my unrestrained and annoying posting habits. I suppose there a lot like Nietzsche's aphorisms. I should probably number and categorize them instead of spewing them out stream of consciousness ala Joyce.

Les Carpenter said...

-FJ, you're one VERY unserious person, who like Trump only serve to disrupt serious discourse with off the wall mundane comments.

So, no worry Dave, most folks here likely know his MO and take what he says for what it's worth. Very little if anything.

Les Carpenter said...

And now we hear our government suspects there was an assassination plot on Trump's life being planned in Iran. No connection to the recent attempt on his life.

Hmm, I wonder why Iran might want to attempt that. Could it be to protect their own national interests in the horrid event he becomes "president" again.

How can -FJ smell the stench of Byrd over HIS over abundant noxious stench of Trump?
