Former Trump staffer: Conservative media ‘brainwashed’ me into hating Democrats

Image
                                             Former Trump campaign official Jessica Denson (Screen cap) Via Raw Story: On CNN Wednesday, Jessica Denson, the former coordinator of the Trump 2016 campaign’s Hispanic outreach who starred in a recent ad for Joe Biden, opened up about how she was taken in by the Trump campaign — and why he must be defeated. “My motive to go and help that campaign and be of service to the American people was sabotaged, and I’ve seen my experience repeated in the experience of one public servant after another over the past four years,” said Denson, who spearheaded a lawsuit to free former Trump campaign officials from nondisclosure agreements. “I have seen that this campaign continues to go out brandishing a Bible and an American flag and claiming that they have anything to do with freedom, but I’ve lived first-hand that they have nothing to do wi...

Image
CNN file photo: Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf  No. Not Antifa. Not Black Lives Matter. It is white supremacists who are the greatest terror threat in the U.S. So says a Department of Homeland Security report.  Via CNN: White supremacist extremists will remain the deadliest domestic terror threat to the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security's first annual homeland threat assessment, which details a range of threats from election interference to unprecedented storms. Since 2018, White supremacists have conducted more lethal attacks in the US than any other domestic extremist movement, demonstrating a "longstanding intent" to target racial and religious minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, politicians and those they believe promote multi-culturalism and globalization, according to the report. "As Secretary, I am concerned about any form of violent extremism," wrote acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. "...

NC Pastor Caught On Video Shouting "White Power"!!

  Screen Shot via JoeMyGod.com Hat tip to JoeMyGod.com Original Story from The Raleigh News & Observer  "Unlike most of the speakers at the Trump rally at Ace Speedway on Saturday, Jesse Hursey wore a suit. His black leather shoes shone. His hair was carefully brushed back. The satiny red tie he wore over a light blue shirt flapped in the breeze. Hursey faced the racetrack stands. A crowd gathered around. “First of all, I’m a Christian,” Hursey said, his voice rising and falling with a preacher’s practiced cadence. “Second of all, I’m a Republican. And in that order.” "The same day, Hursey drove a pickup truck through Elon, shouting “White power!” During his speech, Hursey praised Donald J. Trump and encouraged the “silent majority” of the president’s supporters to speak up. As the morning rally wound down, Hursey joined many others in loading into the flag-festooned pickup trucks that circled the speedway. A photo shows the 29-year-old Baptist preacher standing in the be...

Trump Voter: I Was An Idiot To Vote For Him!!

Image
In a very contentious CNN focus group, Trump voters clashed with each other's opinions of Trump. Some very regretful for their support were arguing with those who still passionately defended the President. Things got very heated when one voter said we have a lot of idiots who voted for him, including myself at one time. Via Mediate : The panel was an even split of backers and critics, and Arthur Schaper started things off by lauding Trump’s performance in office so far. These plaudits were countered by Jeremy Montanez, who called Trump a bigoted “monster” while slamming the White House’s separation of migrant families at the southern border.   The panel ended up holding a conversation about illegal immigration and migrant parents who had their children taken away even though they tried crossing the border through the proper legal channels. This segued into a debate about whether Trump is responsible for the increasing levels of divisiveness around the country.

Will the media call him a troubled loner or a right wing terrorist? Via Talking Points Memo:  The white 21-year-old man  reportedly identified as the suspect  in a Wednesday night mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina that left nine people dead appears to have white supremacist leanings, according to an expert on domestic extremism.

Why Do Right Wingers Hate Obama? Bill Maher Asks.

Image
He's got a point.  President Obama has governed like a moderate Republican and yet the far right can't hate him enough.  Gee, I wonder why? h/t to TowleRoad: [Obama] didn't go on a spending spree. He didn't break up the too-big-to-fail banks. They've only gotten bigger. And fail-ier. That's not what liberals wanted. That's what conservatives wanted. At the 2008 convention, Sarah Palin chanted "drill baby drill!" Under Obama, there's more drilling than ever. That's not what environmentalists wanted. That's what conservatives wanted. Obama spent most of last year conceding the Republican premise that government needed cutting. That's not what progressives wanted. That's what the Tea Party wanted. The Dow was at 7949 when he took office. Now it's 12000 and over, and corporate profits are at their highest ever. If he's a socialist, he's a lousy one. He could not be less threatening if he was walking home with ...

Wife Of NC Anti Gay Marriage Amendment Sponsor Claims He Did So To Protect The Caucasian Race

Image
Jodie Brunstetter and her caucasian race protecting husband Peter. Oh, yeah. They hate gay marriage too. The video below is so awkward, yet so entertaining.  In my opinion, she knows she has been caught.  My favorite part of the video below is when she claims she's suffering from heat stroke to distract from her and her husband's "alleged" racist motivations. Via ThinkProgress: The wife of a prominent  North Carolina state senator  and supporter of  Amendment 1  — a proposed ballot initiative that would outlaw same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships in the state — claimed earlier this week that her husband advocated for the measure to protect the “Caucasian” race . Jodie Brunstetter, the wife of North Carolina state Sen. Peter Brunstetter, made the remarks “outside the early voting site at the Forsyth County Government Center in downtown Winston-Salem” while speaking to voters, Chad Nance, a Winston-Salem freelance journalist...
