The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bghairymike: Here is some video of that Republican Talking Point. Just look at all those white supremacists.

rollingout.com - Blacks for trump...


Ah, I see.

So, did you think "Blacks for Trump" meant lots of Atlanta Black people who have come out to support Trump and identify with him because of his arrest rather than the organization founded by Maurice Symonette?

"Blacks for Trump" is Maurice Symonette, AKA "Michael the Black Man," who always was seated behind Trump at his rallies, waving one sign or another, Trump's most high-profile African American backer before Ye.

In the 1980s, Symonette was a member of a Miami cult that eventually was tangled up in a violent murder conspiracy, according to the Miami New Times. He's since reinvented himself as a far-right activist -- part conspiracy theory evangelist, part liberal antagonist. He once picketed an appearance by then-candidate Barack Obama with signs reading "Obama endorsed by the KKK." He's referred to Oprah Winfrey as "the devil," The Post reported last year.

Symonette has been a fixture at Trump appearances since the 2016 election. Often he could be seen sporting a shirt advertising his website, Gods2.com. His website features conspiracies, such as "KKK Racists Are Revealed as Cherokee, Arab & Democrats," "Pres. Trump & Kushner are the Greatest Helpers of the Hebrews Since the Biblical Kingdom of Persia," and "PRES. ROOSEVELT & DEMS, STARTED VALKYRIE in 1944 to keep DEMS. SECRET SOCIETIES, & CENTRAL BANKERS in Control of America.

So, yeah, I'm gonna' stick with the suggestion that Blacks are rushing in droves to support Trump as "the stupidest republican talking point to come out of Trump's arrest". At least, so far.

Thanks for the laugh, though.
