Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The actual answer is even dumber than you think. He's so old he confused two completely different people, and lied about discussing Kamala Harris.

Why doesn't he step down so a qualified person can run? His mind is clearly made of mush.

“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.

“I guess we all look alike,” Holden told POLITICO, letting out a loud laugh.

"I said, 'Willie, you know what? That's me!'" Mr. Holden told the N.Y. Times on Friday when recounting a conversation he had this week with Brown. "And I told him, "You're a short Black guy and I'm a tall Black guy — but we all look alike, right?"

Even more eyebrow raising:

Trump still insists it was Willie Brown with him in the helicopter, telling the N.Y. Times he has flight records and is "probably going to sue" over the article.

Those records have not been made public as of Saturday morning. The Trump campaign has not yet responded to an Axios request for comment.

As I've said, just from a strategic standpoint, having a narcissist candidate who refuses to accept he's wrong about anything must be a nightmare for his campaign runners.

If this were any other candidate, his managers would say "you apolgize publicly, immediately, and put this behind you." But no, he wants to make a stink over this and prove a whole slew of officials are lying...

Someone literally asked him to his face about it, and he mocked them for the question. Guy is a cunt

Trump really is the stereotypical ugly American. He's loud, self centered, rude, and all black folks look alike to him.
