Totally unnecessary. They had his ID. All they had to do was run his info and they would have seen that he wasn’t the man they were looking for. But instead, he was manhandled and slammed to the ground where he cried in excruciating pain, stating that his ribs were broken. One of the officers acknowledged, “he is broken.”
Year: 2020
Carley Fiorina, a former 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said that Donald Trump will not get her vote in November. Fiorina is pledging her support to Democratic candidate, Joe Biden.
“I’ve been very clear that I can’t support Donald Trump. And, you know, elections are binary choices. I will say this: I think, I hope, that Biden understands that this moment in history calls for him to be a leader, not a politician,” Fiorina told The Atlantic’s podcast The Ticket in an interview released Thursday.
Pressed whether that meant she would vote for Biden in the general election, Fiorina replied, “Well, it’s not ’til November is it? I’m not voting for Trump … it’s a binary choice. So if faced with a binary choice on a ballot, yes.”
Trump’s advisor Kellyann Conway has proven time and again that she is willing to say and do whatever to keep her position in the Trump Whitehouse.
There are many examples of the lows Kellyanne has stooped to, but Wednesday when she defended Trump’s continuous use of the racist term, “Kung-flu”, to describe Coronavirus, well, that just shows her willingness to stay in the gutters.
It wasn’t that long ago when an Asian-American reporter pointed out that someone in the Whitehouse was using the racist term. Kellyanne agreed that it “highly offensive”, and demanded to know who in the administration the term was associated to.
“Of course it’s wrong,” Conway said at the time. “That’s highly offensive, so you should tell us all who it is.”
That was then. Now that it is clear Trump is the source of the “highly offensive” language in the Whitehouse, Kellyanne has changed. When asked to explain why Trump is still using the language, Kellyanne argued;
“Excuse me, how do you know the way people, how do you know that people aren’t anticipating that or not connecting that? You don’t know that. While the president is saying it, he’s also saying this virus came from China. China is responsible… He said it’s called many different things, it’s called the Wuhan virus, the Chinese virus, and then he used another term.”
She just secured her position in this Whitehouse ’till November.
D. L Hugley has Coronavirus. And the way he found out was in front of a live audience.
During his live performance at Zanies, the 57-year-old Hugley, sitting on a stool, began swaying back and forth and then fell into the hands of someone sitting close to the stage. Hugley was treated for exhaustion. He also confirmed the coronavirus diagnosis.
“I also tested positive for COVID-19, which blew me away,” he says in the video. “I was what they call asymptomatic. I didn’t have any symptoms, the classic symptoms.”
Hughley plans to quarantine in his Nashville hotel room for 14 days.
Who would have thought that wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt in New York is an invitation for racists to approach you to within inches to show their ugliness? But that is exactly what happened to a Yale Ph.D. student.
A black student filmed a middle-aged white woman who launched into a vile racist tirade on a Manhattan street — repeatedly using the N-word and calling her an “ape.”
Yale PhD student Kathryn Graves, 27, was walking in Midtown in her Black Lives Matter T-shirt when the woman began shouting at her, prompting her to turn down the music in her headphones.
“Obama’s f—ing d–k right next to his ape f—ing wife,” the unidentified woman rants at Graves, according to the footage posted to Instagram Sunday.
After making monkey-like noises at the Brown University grad, the woman — clutching a case of Natural Ice beer — appears to come just inches away from her as she repeatedly calls her a “n—er ape.”
“What’s the matter, you n—er ape, you got time to f—ing do your hair?” the woman continues to rant.
“What’s the matter, you got time to do your f—ing pink a– f—ing hair, you n—er Obama f—ing ape,” she says, before turning to finally cross Third Avenue.
Larry Kudlow is at it again. Who is Larry Kudlow? He was the one who said the Coronavirus was under control way back in February. Remember him?
“We have contained this. I won’t say [it’s] airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight,” Kudlow said at the start of the pandemic.
Since then, 120,000 Americans have died of the virus… and counting, since the pandemic is definitely out of control in this country.
Now, Kudlow has another proclamation:
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told CNBC Monday that “there is no second wave coming” for the coronavirus pandemic, despite record daily case increases in multiple states around the country.
Why it matters: The U.S. reported more than 33,000 new coronavirus cases on Saturday — the highest total since May 1 — while the surge of infections in several states is outpacing growth in coronavirus testing.
- Kudlow’s comment echoes claims from other Trump administration officials, such as Vice President Mike Pence, who argued earlier this month that concerns over a second wave of the virus are “overblown.”
What he’s saying: “The numbers quoted to me by the health people — I’m not the expert, they are — over the weekend, there are 37 states that have virtually no problems. There are 13 states that do have hotspots,” Kudlow, who does not have a scientific or medical background, said.
- “So, you know, there are some hotspots. We’re on it. We know how to deal with this stuff now. It’s come a long way since last winter — and there is no second wave coming.”
- “It’s just, you know, hotspots. They send in CDC teams. We’ve got the testing procedures. We’ve got the diagnostics. We’ve got the [personal protection equipment].”
- “And, so, I really think it’s a really good situation. Fatality rates, incidentally — the fatality rates continue to decline. So, all in all, I think it’s a pretty good situation. And, of course, reopening the economy is the key to economic growth.”
In a previous report from The Telegraph, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said that he will not be voting for Donald Trump in November, instead, according to The Telegraph, Bolton said he would vote for Joe Biden.
However, in a more recent ABC News interview, Bolton has now withdrawn his support for the Democratic presidential nominee. Bolton told ABC that he will “figure out a conservative Republican” to vote for instead.
”I don’t think he’s a conservative Republican. I’m not going to vote for him in November — certainly not going to vote for Joe Biden either. I’m going to figure out a conservative Republican to vote in,” Bolton told ABC.
NOTE: The Telegraph earlier interviewed Bolton and reported he said he intended to vote for Biden over Trump. A Bolton spokesperson told Axios and Politico that the Telegraph report was incorrect.
There was a time when the President of the United States worked in favor of the American people. It was accepted that the general welfare of the American people would be a top priority for the occupant of the Oval Office and any deviation was absolutely inconceivable. It wasn’t too long ago when a president’s outfit caused an uproar because his suit was tan and that somehow was interpreted as being disrespectful to the office.
But today, a president just announced on Twitter that any protesters in Oklahoma for his Saturday rally, will not be tolerated. He stated that these Americans will be treated “much differently” than they were in “New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis.”
And if you think Republicans will be outraged by this threat like they were when Obama wore a tan suit, then you’d be dead wrong.
The President just took to twitter and announced;
Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!

“This skin turns people off,” said Winfred Rembert, the celebrated African American artist based in New Haven.
“I don’t know why. Out of all the skins in the world when it comes to black skin, people are turned off, and they’ll do things to black skin that they wouldn’t do to any other skin.
“Why is that? Why is it so easy to pull the trigger on a black man? Why is it so easy to tase a black man when he hasn’t done a damn thing? Why is it so easy to do that? Why is it so easy to slap his face and knock him to the ground and mistreat him just because his skin is black? Not just in the streets. I mean in corporate America. It’s the same thing.”
I’m not sure why he felt the need to protest, as if anyone is saying that all lives do not matter. It is a common misconception for some when they see the Black Lives Matter signs.
AGIAN, no one is saying that all lives do not matter, but when black people are disproportionately killed at the hands of those supposedly protecting us, then the obvious conclusion is to wonder if these people believe that all lives do matter, and if they consider black lives a part of that slogan.
A worker at the store tried to explain the sign to the man, later identified as Abraham Knofler.
“I don’t understand why this is so offensive to you, to see something saying that ‘Black Lives Matter,'” the store’s employee tried to explain to Knofler. “It’s not saying that all lives don’t matter, it’s just saying that Black lives matter because they haven’t mattered in this country ever.”
In any event, Abraham “Avrumy” Knofler woke up this morning and apparently decided that protesting against the Black Lives Matter sign in the window of a Brooklyn coffee-shop was a good way to spend his morning. Some didn’t agree with his decision.
This goes without saying, but a quick scan of Abraham’s social media sites show that he is an avid Trump supporter, but I think we already knew that.
Daily News reports that Facebook removed an ad from President Trump’s reelection campaign on Thursday that featured a symbol used by the Nazis to label political prisoners in Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps, saying the inflammatory post violated the platform’s “policy against organized hate.”
If I am to spend time detailing Trump’s lies, I would have to quit my job and do this fulltime… with overtime… Saturdays and Sundays… and I’ll have to hire a crew and give them the same schedule!
Luckily, The Washington Post is already doing this. They call it Trump’s Lie Tracker, and as of the writing of this post, Trump has already lied 19,128 times.
One of those lies was told on Tuesday when Trump signed his Waterdown Executive Order on police reform and said Obama did nothing to combat police brutality. A quick search on the Google machine showed that was a lie, and there’s video proof too.
Gaslighter-in-Chief thinks voters will just take him at his word.
