This was an unforced error...

[Ana the Ist]

I mean mocking a woman for being black, in an interview with black journalists...

You took it as mockery? I took it as genuine.

I've heard her referred to as a POC...but that's just an umbrella term for anyone who isn't white.

What Trump’s Kamala Harris Smear Reveals​

The former president is suggesting that Harris became Black only when it was obvious that being Black conferred social advantage.
The second iteration of birtherism, directed at Kamala Harris, who would be America’s second Black president, is similarly ideological. But it tells a different story, one in which Black identity confers an unfair advantage over white people—an advantage that is doubly unfair for Harris to seize because she is not truly Black.

His handlers recognized the damage it would do, and stepped in to end the interview.

I mean.... this is an unforced error...

She's got a script....she can read....but she gets these weird inclinations to just drive off road and speak from the top of her dome.

Moments later, she's droning on about Biden's understanding of the power of diplomacy...which is something powerful....and understanding it, makes someone with the power of diplomacy powerful.

She's got Biden's inability to make sense....but it's wrapped up in her unique inability to figure out what she's trying to say before she says it.

 

[Ana the Ist]

Mr Tump obviously does.

It's not hard to read this thread and determine who did and didn't actually see this question and answer.

First off...how weird is it to see news media outlets that you previously imagined were relatively objective or unbiased all suddenly an extreme amount of dishonesty and bias towards the Democratic Party?

For comparison, we could look at their response to Biden's unforced "you ain't black" statement back in 2020. We also have CNN asking young black people what they thought of Harris and if they knew she was black about a week ago....more than a few had the same answer as the Don. Finally, anyone who actually watched the question and answer knows that Trump immediately said there's nothing wrong with her being black or Indian.

Yet the media, out of sheer desperation, is trying really hard to make this a racism lol.

And people are saying we just don’t understand complex sentence structures, Biden wandered back onto the plane that the hostages got out of and Kamala stopped just short of following him up the stairs

As for the technical delay...

Trump Refused to Take NABJ Stage Unless They Called Off Live Fact Check, Per NABJ President​

NABJ President Ken Lemon told Axios that Trump’s team insisted that the interview proceed without real-time fact-checking, threatening that Trump would not participate otherwise. The Q&A, featuring prominent Black journalists, including ABC News’ Rachel Scott and Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, was stalled for over an hour.

At the time, Trump blamed technical and audio issues for the delay, but Lemon claimed that “they were resolved very quickly.”

“The bigger problem was his threat not to take the stage,” Lemon added.

Makes sense....he thought he was there to have an informal debate with Harris.

Harris was invited, but didn't show.

What resulted was clearly a deliberate attempt to ambush Trump....and a silly framing of his answer as "racist" despite it not being racist in any way.

Lol yeah sure...she's too complex.

I think perhaps she's seen presidents and VPs say wise things, and ever since she was elected VP.....well, she must be saying wise things too. It's as if she believes that you simply become wise once you're president or VP. It's a thing that simply gets passed on from one administration to the next.

That's why she starts these rambling word salads thinking that the right combination of words will spill out and she's going to sound smart.

 

[Postvieww]

Yep. A few years ago, guys like Trump were saying she was too black and Trump was keeping people like her out of his apartment houses. Now, they're claiming she isn't black enough.

I mean, who would have thought Jamaicans were black?

Who cares if she is black, white or green . She is an unqualified presidential candidate thrust in over her head with no voters having a say in the matter. So much for democracy.

The National Review, the influential conservative magazine, has described Donald Trump as "too old" and on course to lose the 2024 election.

Writing in the National Review's Morning Jolt newsletter, senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty criticized the former president for his recent comments on Vice President Kamala Harris' ethnicity.

Geraghty, who also writes for The Washington Post, has now suggested that the comments will backfire on Trump in November, while also citing the Republican's age as an issue.
...
"The Republican nominee is too dumb, too old, too racially obsessed, too erratic and idiosyncratic in what interests and stirs him," Geraghty wrote.

"The polls just evened up, and he's on pace to fumble away a presidential race against a veep who ran a disastrous border—pardon me, 'migration'—policy, who's flip-flopping on every issue, who's got to defend the highest inflation in 40 years and chaos overseas.

"And Trump thinks his best move before an African-American audience is to doubt whether she's really Black."

Donald Trump seems to obsess on it a lot. So do a lot of other white nationalists.

She is an unqualified presidential candidate thrust in over her head

Evidence suggests that the right is having panic attacks because the lady is extremely capable. Not just her job record and academic achievements, both of which are much greater than Trump's.

with no voters having a say in the matter.

I notice that there are already enough delegates backing her to assure the nomination. And the polls show about 80% of democrat voters want her to run.

Of course Trump and the republicans would like to stop her from running.

So much for democracy.

Would have been if Trump and republicans got to decide.

But they don't. Hence the complete discombobulation on the far right.

Harris is a terrible candidate, one of the first to drop out of the primary. I don't know which is worse, her nervous laughter or her needless repetition of words.
But don't worry. This week Trump has been doing everything he can to help get her elected.

Oh, are we back to being a democracy again? Sweet. So remind us where the constitution requires the parties to put their nomination to a vote? Last I checked they could use whatever process they desired.

The Vice President of the United States is unqualified to be President? What qualifications should a candidate have that would be better?

 

[The Barbarian]

Harris is a terrible candidate,

Trump seems to think so. And most democrats think she is a great candidate. Both for the same reasons.

I don't know which is worse, her nervous laughter or her needless repetition of words.

Unlike Trump?

Has been for years. Americans fired him for a reason.

Owning a pipe wrench and a company logo on the shirt doesn’t make one a plumber. Kamala is not Presidential material unless world leaders understand cacklese. She was not very long ago considered by her own party to not be a very good candidate. Now magically she had been transformed by the left into the second coming of Obama.

This goes to my thesis that generative AI is dumb and largely useless technology. At the "low levels" it was just generically vague and at the "high levels" it was generating incoherent nonsense and words. Trump is an rambler who makes strange speeches, but these are not those.

I see that you are not interested discussing your personal standards for presidential qualification and how the VP of the US doesn't meet them.

Well, that explains that....I was wondering why you were quoting a National Review article out of a MSN article lol.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/08/03/black_men_debate_if_vp_kamala_harris_is_black_to_me_no_i_share_that_same_view_i_heard_she_was.html

CNN host and far left propagandist Smerconish went to a black barbershop in PA to ask black men about Harris....and guess what? Many didn't know if she was black either.

This is what it looks like when you can't run on record, achievements, or even a clear platform....

Ask Trump about Harris' racial identity and pretend that he said something wild or racist or even unusual. Apparently, all he said was what many black men are thinking.

I understand that probably 33% of the nation had no idea Biden was mentally unfit until his debate....after all, they watch media that is complicit with the left and extremely biased.

Does that same 33% understand that the media they watch is completely biased and left wing propaganda though? We know they all tried to play off Biden's performance as "1 bad night/jet lag/a cold". We can all see the flip flop they pulled with Harris....claiming she's a failure and a dud and hard to work with....to now pretending she's the best thing since sliced bread. We all can see the literal repetitive propaganda attacks on JD Vance...

This will stay in the news longer than the attempted assassination....because it simply isn't possible to run a campaign on Harris' merits.

Oh, and since people seem to have forgotten...

Harris was a DEI (didn't earn it) hire. There's no question, no debate....it's a fact. The Democratic Party celebrated her being picked because she's a woman. I understand that people get offended if you point this out because they want to pretend she was chosen because of merit. Deep down, even pro-DEI leftists understand merit matters more than race or genitalia....but they pretend it doesn't so they can justify their racial quotas.

Markov chains are nothing new. I've played with them, producing pretty much the same stuff.
