I liked the speech and she hit on some really good things, but I just think we need to think a little bit bigger and better

as political, how we can move the country off of what we're now in into something a little better.

Poltto! Huhujen mukaan jotkut käyttävät siipiveikkojen kastikkeita kuin ketsuppia. Ja meiän ne tieten väärässä ole. Nimittäin siipiveikkojen kastikkeet sopivat makaronlaatikkoihin, takoihin, salaatteihin, you name it. Niin ja tieten myös niihin siipiin. Uusimpana tulokkana kauppojen hyllyltä löytyy siipiveikkojen manga-apaneerokastikin. Makea ei liian ja pienen pienellä poltteella varustettu kaveri. Testaappa! Siipiveikko!

Donald Trump. Settle in for this one, folks. Because he's just reminded the country who he really is. And this time, even some of his hardcore supporters can't bring themselves to defend him. Because late last night, on Trump's social media account, he reposted a vile and racist video that depicted our nation's first black president and first lady as apes.

It is an unambiguous play on one of the country's oldest and most tired, let me tell you how tired it is, racist tropes. At first, Trump administration did what they always do, defend the president and attack the press.

White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said in a statement to reporters, quote, This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the king of the jungle and Democrats' characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public. Quick note for the press secretary. There are no apes in The Lion King.

But this time Trump's racism was so overt, it was even too much for some of his own party. We saw multiple Republican lawmakers condemn the post. Some of them even called on Trump to apologize. Here's what Senator Tim Scott posted. Quote, praying it was fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. President should remove it. End quote. Praying it was fake?

Before this tweet, surely the senator was well aware of the exonerated five. The birther conspiracy, the Muslim ban, shithole countries. All of that? Fake? I could go on. So could you. But none of those Republican members of Congress who sent out a tweet today had enough courage to say what this three-time Trump voter told C-SPAN.

But then he finally took it down. Then the White House tried to claim that an unnamed staffer was responsible for the post. Now, I don't know what's more insulting, that they thought we would believe that Trump didn't post it, or that they thought we would be comforted by a random staffer posting from the president's social media account at 11.44 p.m.

Okay, she doesn't want to get ahead of the president. Well, moments later, Trump had the opportunity to apologize. And this is what he said. Mr. President, a number of Republicans are calling audio to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do? No, I didn't make a mistake. What mistake? He didn't make a mistake. The president also claimed he simply did not see the racist part of that video before it was posted in his name.

Folks, I don't know what to do. I don't believe him. Remember, Trump left that post up for 12 hours. No one else even defended it as a harmless parody of The Lion King. They knew, and so did he. And look, it's all profoundly disheartening. There's no doubt about that. Not that Trump posted it, but that he thought he could post it in an America that would accept it.

Tämä sanoo kaikkea siitä, mistä tämä mies ajattelee, että Amerikassa on, ja mitä hän ajattelee erityisesti naisista ja naisista. Joten kyllä, minulla on paljon, mitä voin sanoa Donald Trumpista. Mutta tämä hetki on niin kauempaa kuin hän.

And today I found myself thinking about my own childhood, growing up right here in Washington, D.C. I found myself thinking about the time when my mom and dad couldn't take me to certain parts of this city, certain parks in this city, or shop at certain stores in this city. And today, like so many Americans out there, Donald Trump brought that all back. We got to relive it. We got to relive that time.

It feels so foreign, but it's really real. And so today, like many of the folks who grew up with me in this town and many folks around the country during that time, we're reliving it. My own childhood. And that's being projected on me and countless other Americans by the sitting president of the United States.

Tervetuloa. Tervetuloa. Tervetuloa. Tervetuloa.

As a black man, to see the image of the first black president and the first lady displayed that way and how it brought back so much that many of us have already gone through. So Eddie, I'll start with you and then Janae, please share your thoughts as well. Well, thank you for your framing, Mike. I mean, we are in a moment.

Tämä on minulle todellista, Jone, koska olemme nähneet presidentin tavoitteita afro-amerikkalaisille ennen, ja tiedämme todella, mitä se on kuullut ja näyttänyt, ilman mitään rajoituksia. Mikälaista reaktiota ajattelit, että hän toivoi tästä postista?

Ja se on erittäin hyvää asiaa. Ja tuon kaksi kertaa, Eddie, joita Janae käyttää. Yksi erityinen vene. Yksi erityinen vene, jota hän järjestää vanhemmille naisille. Yksi erityinen vene, jota hän järjestää Central Park Fiveille. Yksi erityinen vene, jota hän järjestää monille Afro-Amerikkoille, jotka ovat päässeet hänelle. Ja lopulta,

Hän ajatteli, että hän voisi vahvistaa suomalaista yhteisöä tuottamalla Gold LeMay-sniikkoja, koska me arvomme sitä paremmin kuin omaa arvoamme. Se liittyi minulle tähän, kun kuulin republikaaneista, jotka tulivat tänään ja vastasivat tähän. Minun arvoni, kun kuulin paljon siitä, että tämä oli iso aika, jossa he pysyivät heidän omaansa.

Because they're in a heated political contest in their district as much as they don't want to admit it. Yeah, they may not have a whole lot of black folks in their districts, but they do have a whole lot of white folks who are bothered by what they heard as we played with the three-time voter of Donald Trump coming in.
