Kamala has been polling poorly with black men compared to Biden, so I guess this is what it's aiming for

Fake news. He said Powell dropped rates too low when he threatened to have him removed while Trump was in office. I just watched the town hall that was riddled with ridiculous lies and more weaving than a basket factory.

Jimmy Carter was able to cast his vote for Kamala Harris (in Georgia)

His grandson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the summer that Carter had said, “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris.”

I'm gonna be very blunt.

That small percentage of Black men who are polling negatively are probably knee deep in misogynoir (misogyny targeting Black women) and nothing Harris does or says will get them off the couch to go vote. Obama called these guys out the other day and I agreed with him:

"So now you're thinking about sitting out or even supporting somebody who has a history of degrading you?" Obama said, referring to Trump. "Because you think that's a sign of strength? Because that's what being a man is, putting women down? That's not acceptable."


I really have nothing for them and frankly they embarrass me, but thankfully they are a small percentage, last time I checked per CBS:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-poll-how-information-beliefs-shape-tight-2024-campaign/

Harris' support is on par with Biden's.

Black voters are overwhelmingly the Democrats strongest bloc and that won't change even if they're a few guys who act like 7 year old boys who are afraid of cooties.

Right, not cabinet positions.

An important distinction.

Trump's cabinet was full of grifters like Betsy DeVos and Wilbur Ross


https://www.axios.com/2024/08/30/harris-cnn-interview-republican-cabinet

Harris says appointing a Republican to her Cabinet would "benefit" Americans


There is nothing beneficial about adding a Republican to a cabinet position. And while I am grateful of "moderate" Republican support...what position can you offer a Republican that they aren't technically against or would sabotage?

EPA?

Labor?

Education?

Urban Development?

Transportation?

I can go on and on. They have tried for decades to kneecap these positions. They are unfit.

Maybe appointing someone sane with an excellent background in foreign affairs/policy to Secretary of State? But even then, just no.

I'm sorry but this is not something I can support.

That strategy isn't aimed at securing your vote. She already has it. Hopefully it's an empty promise. I can't see her handicapping her own term by giving any important position of power to a Republican.

Right, agreed.

I would love for her to be lying and pretend that she never said it after the election is secured.

In reality we are way past a world where someone's experience and qualifications should matter more than their past political affilitation. Those days are gone and we watched Trump appoint people whose jobs were to destroy the government agency that they were overseeing. I'm fine with standing together to rebuke Trump, but that's where it ends. We need forward thinking and experienced appointees, i don't see what any Republican who is on the anti Trump side brings to the table for a Harris Cabinet

No more Merrick Garlands. We cannot afford to do that for any cabinet position.

Wow. So you don't know what he's talking about either but, you feel strongly about it.


My original statement was “ An Army Major General just said Q Anon / Q is a REAL (military) operation. :wink:” Is that hard to understand?

And then I quoted the Army Major General and you still can’t figure it out. Concern yourself with that original statement and the realize his rank: “ Major General is a two-star General Officer rank, and the highest permanent peacetime rank in the Army. A Major General commands a division-sized unit of 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers.”

Our feelings have nothing to do with this. All over a 3 minute video being too difficult to understand…

I'm sorry you can't comprehend my simple question. I heard what the man was rambling about. I didn't understand what he was saying though. It was a psy-op? By who and for what purpose? I asked you to explain what he was trying to say. Q is real. It's just all BS. Is he saying the military is behind the BS from Q? If so, for who? Why exactly? What did I miss?

Isn't this illegal? Non-black guy applies for a business loan, and he'll miss out b/c of the specific shade of his skin?

and what the hell does "protect cryptocurrency assets" have anything to do with black men? sounds pretty non-sensical to me. anyone can open a Coinbase/gemini/crypto account, anyone can buy it on crypto market, anyone can get a hardware wallet.

Just reeks of Dems desperation. :lol:
