thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-09--Don Lemon Criticizes Jesus: Says He ‘Admittedly Was Not Perfect When He Was Here’

On his CNN show this week , Don Lemon tried to use an attack on Jesus Christ to make one of his ridiculous liberal points , but it didn ’ t take long for this to blow up in his face .
During a panel discussing the faults in America ’ s founding fathers with CNN host Chris Cuomo , Lemon said , “ Here ’ s the thing : Jesus Christ — if that ’ s who you believe in , Jesus Christ — admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.
” “ So why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , many of whom owned slaves , and in the Constitution — the original one — they didn ’ t want , they put slavery in there , that slavery should be abolished because it was the way the king wanted .
And then the Congress said , ‘ No way !
’ ” he added , as Cuomo nodded in approval .
Evangelical author Eric Metaxas , who famously went at it with Cuomo back in December over abortion and whether Christians should support President Donald Trump , fired back at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oscar Wilde .
“ ‘ To be embarrassingly culturally ignorant may be regarded as a misfortune , but to proclaim one ’ s ignorance whilst hosting a major tv show looks like carelessness !
’ — Oscar Wilde , ” he tweeted .
It should be noted that the notion of the moral perfection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christianity that goes back to the earliest days of the religion .
New Testament passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 7:26 assert that Christ “ knew no sin ” and was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from sinners , ” according to Daily Wire .
This comes days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson called out Lemon for recent comments the CNN host made about Black Lives Matter .
“ Now if you ’ re running a channel like CNN , you want dumb people on TV because they are compliant , they will say what they ’ re told , they will tell the audience what the moment demands , they will never stray from the script , and that ’ s exactly what Mr .

During a panel discussing the faults in America’s founding fathers with CNN host Chris Cuomo, Lemon said, “Here’s the thing: Jesus Christ — if that’s who you believe in, Jesus Christ — admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.”
“So why are we deifying the founders of this country, many of whom owned slaves, and in the Constitution — the original one — they didn’t want, they put slavery in there, that slavery should be abolished because it was the way the king wanted. And then the Congress said, ‘No way!’” he added, as Cuomo nodded in approval.

Evangelical author Eric Metaxas, who famously went at it with Cuomo back in December over abortion and whether Christians should support President Donald Trump, fired back at Lemon by tweeting out a quote by Oscar Wilde.
“‘To be embarrassingly culturally ignorant may be regarded as a misfortune, but to proclaim one’s ignorance whilst hosting a major tv show looks like carelessness!’ — Oscar Wilde,” he tweeted.

It should be noted that the notion of the moral perfection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christianity that goes back to the earliest days of the religion.

This comes days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson called out Lemon for recent comments the CNN host made about Black Lives Matter.
“Now if you’re running a channel like CNN, you want dumb people on TV because they are compliant, they will say what they’re told, they will tell the audience what the moment demands, they will never stray from the script, and that’s exactly what Mr. Lemon is doing…” Carlson said.
Once again, Carlson has hit the nail on the head.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-09--Professor Who Predicted Trump Would Win In 2016 Says He Has 91% Chance Of Winning Reelection

Polling published over the last several weeks has former Vice President Joe Biden out in front of President Donald Trump by as much as 12 points .
The average seems to be about 10 points .
In 2016 the margin of the Clinton victory was supposed to be 30 points and higher .
Almost every polling firm and pollster agreed with that assessment , except one .
Now he says the president has a 91 percent chance of being reelected in 2020 .
Mediaite reported on Wednesday that Stony Brook University professor Helmut Norpoth is doubling down on his “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uses primaries to predict turnout , has correctly predicted five out of the past six elections since 1996 and every single election but two in the past 108 years .
“ The Primary Model gives Trump a 91 percent chance of winning in November , ” Norpoth said .
“ This model gets it right for 25 of the 27 elections since 1912 , when primaries were introduced.
” The model botched the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy and the 2000 election of George W. Bush .
Both easily explained .
Kennedy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Texas and Bush barely squeaked by in 2000 in the Electoral College and lost the popular vote .
According to Professor Norpoth , Biden is in a bad position because of his poor showing in the first primary races : The professor has a valid historical point .
Ed Muskie in 1972 , Scoop Jackson in 1976 , Ted Kennedy in 1980 , Gary Hart in 1984 , Bob Dole in 1988 , Paul Tsongas in 1992 , and others since were all early frontrunners who stumbled .
All underperformed in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the convention .
In politics , as perception is reality , the press and popular culture can make or break candidates on a whim .
One must only recall the campaign result of Howard Dean to prove that proposition .
Norpoth ’ s model , which predicted Trump ’ s victory nine months before the 2016 election , predicts that the president will win over Joe Biden by a wider margin in the Electoral College ( with 362 electoral votes versus the 304 ) than he earned against Hillary Clinton .
That would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama gave John McCain in the 2008 presidential election .
If Norpoth is again proved correct , even by not that great a margin , then one would think the very basic premise of modern political survey research would be called into question .

FYI: This model predicted that Trump will win popular vote by 5 points in 2016 https://t.co/BbemSv6VJF — Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) July 8, 2020
“The Primary Model gives Trump a 91 percent chance of winning in November,” Norpoth said. “This model gets it right for 25 of the 27 elections since 1912, when primaries were introduced.”
The model botched the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy and the 2000 election of George W. Bush. Both easily explained. Kennedy stole that election by cheating in Illinois and Texas and Bush barely squeaked by in 2000 in the Electoral College and lost the popular vote.
According to Professor Norpoth, Biden is in a bad position because of his poor showing in the first primary races:
“The terrain of presidential contests is littered with nominees who saw a poll lead in the spring turn to dust in the fall. The list is long and discouraging for early frontrunners. Beginning with Thomas Dewey in 1948, it spans such notables as Richard Nixon in 1960, Jimmy Carter in 1980, Michael Dukakis in 1988, George H.W. Bush in 1992, and John Kerry in 2004, to cite just the most spectacular cases.”
The professor has a valid historical point. Ed Muskie in 1972, Scoop Jackson in 1976, Ted Kennedy in 1980, Gary Hart in 1984, Bob Dole in 1988, Paul Tsongas in 1992, and others since were all early frontrunners who stumbled. All underperformed in the primaries. None even made it to the convention.
In politics, as perception is reality, the press and popular culture can make or break candidates on a whim. One must only recall the campaign result of Howard Dean to prove that proposition.
Norpoth’s model, which predicted Trump’s victory nine months before the 2016 election, predicts that the president will win over Joe Biden by a wider margin in the Electoral College (with 362 electoral votes versus the 304) than he earned against Hillary Clinton.
That would be roughly akin to the shellacking Barack Obama gave John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
If Norpoth is again proved correct, even by not that great a margin, then one would think the very basic premise of modern political survey research would be called into question.
However, given most polling is expressly manufactured to support a campaign’s effort for momentum and not as a legitimate snapshot of public attitudes, campaigns will continue to pay media outlets big money for rigged results and politicians will continue to use the results to proclaim the inevitability of their victories.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-09--Nikki Haley Warns ‘We Will Lose Our Rule Of Law’ If Biden Beats Trump In November

Former U.S .
Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told Sean Hannity Wednesday that if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden defeats President Donald Trump in November , the country will become chaotic .
“ If we go with a President Biden , ” Haley warned , “ we will lose our rule of law , we will have the progressives really running away with everything , getting all of what they want and we will get closer and closer to the socialist countries that we have fought so hard not to become.
” “ We ’ ve had true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ You don ’ t have to like him but look at the results that he ’ s done and [ how he ’ s ] raised the quality of life for so many people.
” “ Then look at the results of Biden with President Obama , ” she continued .
“ The African-American community , women , Hispanics , none of us felt those results like we have with President Trump.
” Haley made her comments hours after Biden said in an interview that some police department funding should “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
South Carolina ’ s former governor also questioned the mission and meaning of Black Lives Matter movement , which she she said made the mistake of “ picking and choosing which lives really do matter.
” “ Why don ’ t the Black police officers that have been shot or have been chastised , why don ’ t their lives matter ?
” Haley asked .
“ How about the Black store owner whose business burned down ?
His life matters.
” “ What about the families who are in threatening areas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safe ?
” she continued .
“ What about those six children that died [ in shootings across America ] over the weekend ?
” “ Those Black lives matter , ” Haley said .
“ So why are we picking and choosing which ones matter ?
” Defunding the police would turn America into Venezuela , says Haley Haley also said of those on the left wanting to defund the police , “ I ’ m telling you , if they want to turn into Venezuela , defund the police.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made America special and what separated us from other countries was the rule of law , ” Haley said .
“ It ’ s what allows us quality of life .
It ’ s what allows us our freedom , ” she finished .

What makes America special, and separates us from other countries, is the rule of law. It allows us our quality of life and our freedom. Getting rid of the police won't give us results. Defunding the police will create lawless chaos, like we see in Venezuela. pic.twitter.com/Gut5YgYcyF — Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) July 9, 2020
Haley: ‘We’ve had true results with President Trump’
Haley then compared a President Biden scenario with Trump’s record.
“We’ve had true results with President Trump” she said. “You don’t have to like him but look at the results that he’s done and [how he’s] raised the quality of life for so many people.”
“Then look at the results of Biden with President Obama,” she continued. “The African-American community, women, Hispanics, none of us felt those results like we have with President Trump.”
“So facts matter. Results matter,” she added.
Haley made her comments hours after Biden said in an interview that some police department funding should “absolutely” be redirected to other areas.
It didn’t take long for Joe Biden to cave in to radicals on the left demanding to “Defund the Police.” Cut police funding? Biden says “Yes! Absolutely!” Says police “Become the Enemy.” Biden is weak and can’t stand up to the radicals running his party!https://t.co/YHhZwHzUhL — Brad Parscale (@parscale) July 9, 2020
Haley questions meaning of Black Lives Matter
South Carolina’s former governor also questioned the mission and meaning of Black Lives Matter movement, which she she said made the mistake of “picking and choosing which lives really do matter.”
“Why don’t the Black police officers that have been shot or have been chastised, why don’t their lives matter?” Haley asked. “How about the Black store owner whose business burned down? His life matters.”
“What about the families who are in threatening areas that need law enforcement to keep them safe?” she continued. “What about those six children that died [in shootings across America] over the weekend?”
“Those Black lives matter,” Haley said. “So why are we picking and choosing which ones matter?”
We need to talk about the lives of young black victims and black police officers murdered due to lawlessness. Their lives matter. The left loses credibility when it starts picking and choosing which lives it talks about and which lives it ignores. pic.twitter.com/OTgG9JtLaY — Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) July 9, 2020
Defunding the police would turn America into Venezuela, says Haley
Haley also said of those on the left wanting to defund the police, “I’m telling you, if they want to turn into Venezuela, defund the police.”
“At the U.N., I saw what made America special and what separated us from other countries was the rule of law,” Haley said.
“It’s what allows us quality of life. It’s what allows us our freedom,” she finished.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-09--Supreme Court Ruling Keeps President Trump’s Tax Returns Out Of House Democrats’ Hands… For Now

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to issue a ruling on whether congressional committees can have access to Trump ’ s financial records , instead punting it back to a lower court and keeping access from House Democrats on hold for now .
In a separate ruling , the justices rejected arguments that the President is immune to investigation while he holds office or that a prosecutor need show special circumstances to obtain his tax records .

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to issue a ruling on whether congressional committees can have access to Trump’s financial records, instead punting it back to a lower court and keeping access from House Democrats on hold for now.
In a separate ruling, the justices rejected arguments that the President is immune to investigation while he holds office or that a prosecutor need show special circumstances to obtain his tax records.
The Associated Press reports:
“By 7-2 votes, the justices upheld the Manhattan district attorney’s demand for Trump’s tax returns, but kept a hold on Trump’s financial records that Congress has been seeking for more than a year.”
What It Means
The House Oversight Committee had subpoenaed Mazars USA, an accounting firm, for access to Trump’s financial documents, which included personal records and records of various affiliated businesses.
The documents included the President’s tax returns, a long sought after holy grail for Democrats seeking to find or invent a crime.
Congressional committees had also subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and Capital One for other financial records.
Chief Justice John Roberts, in his written opinion, argued that these committees have limits.
“Without limits on its subpoena powers, Congress could ‘exert an imperious control’ over the Executive Branch and aggrandize itself at the President’s expense, just as the Framers feared,” he opined.
Roberts though, Fox News reports, “left open the possibility that House Democrats, after further proceedings in lower courts, could get ahold of the president’s documents.”
In the other case, Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s demand for Trump’s tax returns was upheld. It should be noted, however, that grand jury investigations are confidential, meaning his taxes normally would not be made public.
But we don’t live in normal times. Does anybody doubt that a resistance warrior involved with the investigation would illegally leak the information?
The Supreme Court sends case back to Lower Court, arguments to continue. This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2020

Reaction
President Trump was most decidedly not pleased with the Supreme Court’s ruling in the least.
“This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York,” he tweeted. “Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!”
Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, took a slightly more optimistic approach in his response.
Sekulow said he was happy the “Supreme Court has temporarily blocked both Congress and New York prosecutors from obtaining the President’s financial records.”
“We will now proceed to raise additional Constitutional and legal issues in the lower courts,” he added.
Congressional Democrats’ relentless pursuit of Trump’s tax records without knowing if there is anything damning in them, wasting time and money in the courts, is seemingly the one thing they’ve accomplished since he took office.

A no-nonsense sheriff from Ohio spoke out on Wednesday to defy his governor ’ s new social distancing rules in response to the coronavirus pandemic , saying that he refuses to be the “ mask police.
” Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones explained why exactly he has no intention of enforcing the new order by Republican Governor Mike DeWine during an appearance on CNN .
“ I ’ m not going to be the mask police , ” Jones told host Brianna Keilar .
“ I ’ m telling people don ’ t call 911 .
All the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laid off , having budgets cut , and I am not going to enforce the mask wearing.
” The sheriff went on to say that while he wears a mask and washes his hands , he doesn ’ t think the government should get involved in forcing people to do that .
“ I believe you and the media are confused !
” Jones fired back when Keilar tried to press him on statistics about COVID-19 cases .
“ In addition to social distancing and reducing unnecessary interactions with others , we know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the community , ” DeWine had said of the order .
“ It has been , and remains , a very strong recommendation that I urge all Ohioans to continue doing even if you are not in a red-alert county.
” Daniel Tierney , a spokesman for DeWine , told The Hill that local health departments will be enforcing the new order , with law enforcement only getting involved under “ extreme circumstances , ” like when someone who has tested positive for coronavirus is not wearing a mask in public .

“ Ohioans have done a great job of following health protocols .
We ’ ve strongly encouraged wearing masks throughout that process , and a number of residents have.

This comes after there were more than 58,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ohio , with nearly 3,000 confirmed and probable deaths caused by the virus that has wreaked havoc on the world .

A no-nonsense sheriff from Ohio spoke out on Wednesday to defy his governor’s new social distancing rules in response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying that he refuses to be the “mask police.”
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones explained why exactly he has no intention of enforcing the new order by Republican Governor Mike DeWine during an appearance on CNN.
“I’m not going to be the mask police,” Jones told host Brianna Keilar. “I’m telling people don’t call 911. All the police have been decimated as far as being laid off, having budgets cut, and I am not going to enforce the mask wearing.”
The sheriff went on to say that while he wears a mask and washes his hands, he doesn’t think the government should get involved in forcing people to do that.
“I believe you and the media are confused!” Jones fired back when Keilar tried to press him on statistics about COVID-19 cases.
“In addition to social distancing and reducing unnecessary interactions with others, we know that wearing a mask helps protect others in the community,” DeWine had said of the order. “It has been, and remains, a very strong recommendation that I urge all Ohioans to continue doing even if you are not in a red-alert county.”
Daniel Tierney, a spokesman for DeWine, told The Hill that local health departments will be enforcing the new order, with law enforcement only getting involved under “extreme circumstances,” like when someone who has tested positive for coronavirus is not wearing a mask in public.
“We don’t expect criminal prosecutions,” he said. “Ohioans have done a great job of following health protocols. We’ve strongly encouraged wearing masks throughout that process, and a number of residents have.”
DeWine will be reassessing this order, which does not apply to children under the age of 10, every week. This comes after there were more than 58,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ohio, with nearly 3,000 confirmed and probable deaths caused by the virus that has wreaked havoc on the world.

” That policy resulted in 6,500 deaths of elderly people from COVID-19 .
The response of CNN ?
Brotherly laughter and the Orwellian memory hole .
The Associated Press ( AP ) chronicled how New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ( D ) and other state officials pathetically insisted the decision was “ was not to blame for one of the nation ’ s highest nursing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ search of CNN on-air transcripts shows that CNN completely ignored the blockbuster AP report on-air Monday and Tuesday .
No coverage whatsoever .
CNN ’ s website had no digital coverage either .
The AP story reported how “ The directive was intended to help free up hospital beds for the sickest patients as cases surged .
But several relatives , patient advocates and nursing administrators who spoke to the AP at the time blamed the policy for helping to spread the virus among the state ’ s most fragile residents.
” When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his brother Governor Cuomo about the issue , the latter called the deaths “ the most tragic situation ” and pointed to how there were nursing home deaths “ all across the country ” and said “ we have to figure out how to do it better the next time before the next virus wave occurs.
” A blatant dodge of the question .
How does his brother , a hard-nosed journalist , respond ?
“ I ’ m wowed by what you did and more importantly , I ’ m wowed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I love you as a brother .
Obviously , I think you ’ re the best politician in the country.
” Such objectivity , such professionalism , so CNN .
After the pesky subject of the deaths of thousands of New Yorkers because of the governor ’ s policies was shoved out of the way , the Brothers Cuomo went for shtick .
“ Is it true that this was the swab that the nurse was actually using on you [ for the virus test ] ?

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-09--City Of Seattle Holds Training Against ‘Whiteness’

If you ’ re a white person employed by the City of Seattle you now must sit through hours of racially themed training telling you how horrible you are , how you are a racist , and how disgusting and repugnant you , your family , and your history are to all other people .
And as a taxpayer , you ’ re paying for the training .
Lucky you .
The June 12th city hall-mandated employee training instructed whites on “ undoing your own whiteness ” in order to be held accountable by “ people of color.
” Apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flyer distributed during the training declared how “ racism is not our fault but we are responsible.
” Another said white staffers must give up “ the land ” and their “ guaranteed physical safety ” in order to be an “ accomplice ” for racial justice .
The land ?
Oh well , there goes that parking space close to the office door .
Physical safety ?
Don ’ t mind the new office guillotine , it ’ s only for really white people .
Said reporter Christopher Rufo , who the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comment to : “ I ’ m going to keep pushing—because this is exactly the kind of thought-policing they want to implement everywhere .
The new cultural revolution is being fought via corporate HR , city diversity training , and public school curriculums .
When you find something like this in your community , expose it , criticize it , mock it , and reject it.
” In the email invitation to the event , the office asked “ city employees who identify as white to join this training to learn , reflect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies and accomplices for racial justice.
” “ We ’ ll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to black , indigenous and people of color ( BIPOC ) folks within our community , ” the office added .
BIPOC ?
Ah , fascists love their acronyms .
Gestapo , Stasi , now BIPOC .
Birds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to establish “ networks with other white people who are practicing antiracist accomplicehood so you can talk through your struggles in the work of undoing your own whiteness.
” White employees should begin “ practicing self-talk that affirms our complicity in racism… Racism is not our fault but we are responsible.

If you’re a white person employed by the City of Seattle you now must sit through hours of racially themed training telling you how horrible you are, how you are a racist, and how disgusting and repugnant you, your family, and your history are to all other people.
And as a taxpayer, you’re paying for the training. Lucky you.
The June 12th city hall-mandated employee training instructed whites on “undoing your own whiteness” in order to be held accountable by “people of color.” Apparently white is not a color.
A flyer distributed during the training declared how “racism is not our fault but we are responsible.” Another said white staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.
The land? Oh well, there goes that parking space close to the office door. Physical safety? Don’t mind the new office guillotine, it’s only for really white people.
The City of Seattle held a training session for white employees called “Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness.” So I did a public records request to find out exactly what this means. Let's go through it together in this thread. 👇 — Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) July 6, 2020
Said reporter Christopher Rufo, who the City of Seattle will not give any comment to: “I’m going to keep pushing—because this is exactly the kind of thought-policing they want to implement everywhere. The new cultural revolution is being fought via corporate HR, city diversity training, and public school curriculums. When you find something like this in your community, expose it, criticize it, mock it, and reject it.”
Mocking? No problem.
In the email invitation to the event, the office asked “city employees who identify as white to join this training to learn, reflect, challenge ourselves, and build skills and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies and accomplices for racial justice.”
“We’ll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) folks within our community,” the office added.
BIPOC? Ah, fascists love their acronyms. Gestapo, Stasi, now BIPOC. Birds of a feather.
White employees were told to establish “networks with other white people who are practicing antiracist accomplicehood so you can talk through your struggles in the work of undoing your own whiteness.”
Undoing? Will a decent tan suffice?
White employees should begin “practicing self-talk that affirms our complicity in racism… Racism is not our fault but we are responsible.”
So, responsible for something for which we are not at fault? Well, that makes sense.
In order to be considered “accomplices,” white employees must forsake “comfort,” “guaranteed physical safety,” “expectations or presumptions of emotional safety,” “control over other people and over the land,” and “relationships with some other white people.”
Love the last part. Does that mean you don’t have to talk to the annoying guy in accounting anymore?
White employees were also urged to give up “niceties from neighbors and colleagues,” “the certainty of your job,” and “accepting jobs and promotions when we are not qualified, including racial equity…white people keep the system going” by being socialized “to cause harm to POC,” “justify why we are superior and have been wronged by POC,” “use anger, self-righteousness and defensiveness [to] mask fear, shame, or guilt,” “show up small and inauthentic,” and finally are “unable to imagine a way forward that comes from a place of humanity,” thus reinforcing the status quo.
Aside from dealing with their obvious clinical self-loathing, somebody needs to give these Bolsheviks lessons in basic English.
Those who attended the session were also shown “data” entitled “Assimilation into Whiteness,” which displayed how those of “Arab, Jewish, Finnish, German, Italian, Armenian or Irish descent still classify as white.” Oh, good, a racial identification chart. Not like that in of itself is racist in any way.
There are many more details. But by now, you get the drift. Thus, if you’re white in Seattle you’ll be treated like blacks were in Alabama in 1955. The irony seems to escape those who mandate the treatment.

Robert Redford just showed the world that his anti-Trump hatred is as strong as ever when he claimed our country will “ slide toward autocracy ” if the current president is reelected .
Redford made this point in an op-ed for CNN called “ This Is Who Gets My Vote In 2020.
” Spoiler alert : It ’ s not Donald Trump .
“ Four more years [ of Trump ] would accelerate our slide toward autocracy , ” Redford wrote .
“ It would be taken as free license to punish more so-called ‘ traitors ’ and wage more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Justice Department behind them.
” The Hollywood star then shifted into his endorsement of Joe Biden : Joe Biden is on the ballot , and I ’ m confident he will bring these qualities back to [ the ] White House .
[ … ] And I believe Biden was made for this moment .
Biden leads with his heart .
I don ’ t mean that in a soft and sentimental way .
I ’ m talking about a fierce compassion — the kind that fuels him , that drives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injustice , that won ’ t let him rest while people are struggling .
This should come as a surprise to nobody given how open Redford has been about his hatred for Trump over the years .
Back in May , Redford teamed up with his son James to pen a melodramatic op-ed for NBC News in which they blasted the president for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic .
“ As the pandemic began its global march , ” they wrote , “ President Donald Trump failed to act quickly and decisively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our pain and suffering.

In the latest example of Joe Biden ’ s mental abilities being called into question , a video is going viral in which the former vice president can ’ t even bring himself to say the words “ America First.
