I Was Willing to Give Trump a Chance Until Now…
-
Once again, this is irrelevant since John Lewis is not the President of the United States. He is not our commander-in-chief, nor has he campaigned to be. He is a Civil Rights hero who nearly died for trying to bring Dr. King's dream to fruition. As you know, Dr. King was indeed murdered by a racist white man in connection with the American government. You can say all you want that the actions of this country's past have no effect on our lives today, but they actually do. Now we have as you put it, "a douche bag" in the White House who is nearing the point of out of control. The things he are doing are beyond partisanship at this point and as a result, millions are now on the side of he is not our president and he does not represent us. Those of us who wanted to give him a chance have been pushed away by his actions and will be active in urging our elected leaders to impeach him when the time comes. There will be no honeymoon period for his first 100 days and there will be no peace with him in office.
You can't have any discussion without having it be about race, can you?
John Lewis is a CONGRESSMAN and a proven liar, as well as a partisan hack. If you took off your racist glasses, you'd see that.
Trump is a douche bag, so what? Other Presidents have been douche bags.

So pointing out the fact that John Lewis nearly died while trying to gain access to the ballot for black people in the South makes me a racist? Is that your official position on this topic? Are you therefore calling Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a racist? Please, make your position clear because others have already said the nastiest stuff about Dr. King on here.
Beyond that point, #45 has an obligation to this country to prove John Lewis wrong by releasing his tax returns and fully divesting himself from his companies. Until he does that, how can you call John Lewis a partisan hack? The last time I checked, presidents from different parties released their tax returns and divested themselves from companies they were invested in, and some had to make very difficult and painful decisions like Ronald Reagan had to when he became president. Do you know how successful Ronald Reagan was and the sacrifices he had to make to become president? #45 is a disgrace to the legacy of other presidents who have served this country.

The fact that you can't talk about John Lewis the politician (his day job for the last 30'ish years), shows you are a racist. The fact that you dragged MIK,Jr into this shows you are a racist, since I haven't said a thing about him.
Trump is not obligated to do any such thing. Besides, that is not what Lewis said.
Lewis said that Trump was illegitimate because of the election. He may have gone on to claim more things, but Lewis first needs to supply proof of his "illegitimate" claims. He also proved he is a lair by claiming he has never missed an inauguration other than Trumps.

Nope, the burden of proof is on #45. What are his ties to Russia? Why hasn't he released his tax returns, which other presidents have done? And I will continue bringing up what John Lewis nearly died for because it is a part of his legacy, just like him questioning the legitimacy of both George Bush and #45. You can keep calling him a political hack all you want, what you can't do is change the fact that he nearly died trying to gain access to the ballot for black people in the South who had been disenfranchised FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. Calling me a racist isn't going to change the fact that white people murdered black and white people in the South for trying to help black people vote.

Trump was the first one to insinuate that he is an illegitimate President. He claims there are 3-5 million fraudulent votes. He can't be a legitimate President if there is such widespread fraud. Let's face it, it's much more likely that the fraudulent votes went to the person who actually won the election but either way the election is a fraud according to him. His win is the equivalent of a participation trophy.

Innocent until proven guilty. Or did you forget that?!
Rep John Lewis made the allegations, so he needs to prove them. He also lied about missing Presidential inaugurations.
There is no legal requirement to publish your tax returns.
Rep John Lewis has a duty to tell the truth and do what's best for the nation, not tell race baiting political lies, such as "Hands up, don't shoot". 100 FBI agents and a nearly 20,000 page report tells us that it's a complete lie. Michael Brown never said it. Even my Congresswoman was guilty of spreading that lie, as were many others.
You can acknowledge what he did 50 years ago, while admitting he's a political hack over the last 30 years.
He doesn't do anything about real problems that blacks face, but rather he spends his time spouting BLM lies.

So if #45 lifts the Russian sanctions that BOTH parties placed on Russia, that means he has absolutely nothing to hide? He could defy what the majority of Americans want (keeping those sanctions on Russia) and still not prove he has no ties to Russia? Once again, John Lewis has a point to question #45 because we know NOTHING about #45's finances, what he owes, who he owes or what he is profiting from. It doesn't matter that there is no law about it, EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT HAS DONE IT. He has something to hide and it's up to him to prove us all wrong.
As for the other crap you said, you sound crazy. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown or BLM and it was very racist of you to even go there to be honest. I never mentioned them. 100% racist on your part.

No but he did make a campaign promise to release them after the audit is complete. HE LIED. Several states are looking at making it a requirement to get on the ballot. He will never win the popular vote without being on all 50 state ballots.

How is it racist to show something Rep John Lewis lied about?
How is it racist to show that Rep John Lewis ignores REAL issues that blacks face, while pandering to bullshit SJW identity politics?
Don't be a hypocrite. If I can't talk about issues that black people face, then neither can you.

I never said Trump didn't lie about that.
I was only talking about what Rep John Lewis did.

BLM IS IRRELEVANT TO THIS TOPIC. You brought it up out of nowhere and it has absolutely nothing to do with this. What does that movement have to do with #45 not proving he has ties to Russia? You can call John Lewis a liar all you want and try to deflect what this topic is about, but the point of this topic was to show that #45 has not given any proof that he has no ties to Russia and the burden of proof is on him because it is SIMPLE, VERY SIMPLE for him to show he has no ties to Russia and that they cannot blackmail him or take advantage of him through his businesses. John Lewis cited in his very first interview about this situation that he was deeming #45 illegitimate because of #45's possible ties to Russia. #45 can easily prove him wrong on THIS situation, not all that BLM mess you keep trying to bring up. If your goal is to say John Lewis has no credibility, then that only strengthens the problem with #45 because his credibility is vital to our country given his current position. John Lewis is not our president. He is not the leader of the Free World. #45 is legitimate but John Lewis has every right to question #45's legitimacy due to NO ONE knowing if #45 has damaging ties to Russia. The current Michael Flynn situation just makes it all worse. See what I did there? Michael Flynn is actually a relevant part of this topic because he has been proven to have engaged in policy talks with Russia as a civilian before #45 was sworn in and then he was given a position in #45's administration. Flynn is relevant to this discussion, BLM is not. Simple as that.

You keep changing what Rep John Lewis claimed.
We have 2 liars here. 1 is your hero, while I don't care for either.
BTW, you brought up what Rep John Lewis has done for black people. I just pointed it in a direction you don't like.

I brought up what he has done for black people, while working alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. because #45 said Lewis is "all talk and no action." #45 did not specify what he meant by that; therefore, I assumed #45 was disrespecting the work of Lewis and MLK, which is downright disgusting no matter how you try to chalk it up. #45 is a disgrace and I'm glad that the majority of this country agrees his administration is the most corrupt and incompetent administration since Nixon. This country legitimately elected an orange faced out of shape and sexual assault committing fraud. Tried to take the high road on the Crook-in-Chief but he never showed us he was serious about this job, so it's all resistance from now on. Will never say his name again nor will I refer to him by the title the Russians helped him get.

If you get to attack the President based on things a Congressman says, then why can't I attack that Congressman? I don't get why you can't see how hypocritical that is, except for your racism. You remind me of the lunatic Tea Party. Despite your politics being the polar opposite, your both act the same way.
AGAIN, I don't give a fuck about Trump specifically. The conversation I want to have is much broader.

I'm refusing to show respect for the incompetent #45 aka Mr. Agent Orange because he specifically said John Lewis was "all talk and no action." Had he said, "In recent years, John Lewis has been all talk and no action," then this wouldn't even be an issue, now would it? The fact is that #45 as usual put his two left feet in his disgusting mouth. And you can say whatever you want about John Lewis being a "partisan hack" and all the other bs you said because that is your opinion. What you will not do is disrespect the positive vision he nearly died for and Dr. King indeed did die for. You continue to do that and me and you will continue to have problems. I am so sick of people like you (thankfully you yourself haven't tried it here yet) who try to use the words of Dr. King to shame black people when (1) he used civil disobedience and marching to help get black people the right to vote because conservatives (then Democrats/Dixiecrats, now currently Republicans) ASSAULTED AND MURDERED THEM and (2) he was murdered by a white man. These are indisputable facts that #45 decided to step into the moment he said John Lewis was "all talk and no action." You do not say that about someone who nearly died at the hands of racist white people trying to prevent blacks from voting. You can say it about a "partisan hack" until your pale face turns blue; just make sure you frame it right so everyone will know you're not trying to be racist and/or making an attempt to disrespect the legacy of Civil Rights in this country.

Just so we're clear, everything is about race/racism to you.
Just so we're clear, you don't speak for all blacks.

Just so we're clear, you have about zero education on the history of this country.
Just so we're clear, you do not know how to put things into context just like #45 doesn't.
Just so we're clear, you don't speak for all whites.
-
At least you admit, though not directly, that everything is about race/racism to you.
You are right, I don't know how to view everything through race/racism lenses like you.
I never said I speak for anyone but myself. I realize there are a lot of SJWs that cuck for BLM and the like. Hell, there are even massive self loathing cucks in the Uhuru movement.
I was just reminding you that there are blacks that people like you call "coons" and "white washed" who don't view everything through "crackers are evil" lenses.
We hate racism just as much as you do, but we don't view everything as racist. An argument between 2 people of different races over the best color for a car is just that, not some racist crap that people like you view it as.

You're pathetic…
You can spew all you want about Civil Rights and Mr Luther King, but in reality you are lobbying for a society where victimization and guilt allow black people to progress. I thought Luther King was about EQUALITY.
Honestly, I was appaled when I discover there are black people who believe white people should kill themselves (and even worse when I found out there are white people who feel that way), because in Mexico there are very few African-descended people.
Equality comes with recognition from the other...white people accepted black people were equal to them and deserved the same rights. Without that it would be an imposition and hence, there wouldn't be true equality.
Play the victim card all you want, it fits you.
And I'm glad you don't speak for all the black people out there. Because it is due to individuals like you that people take polarizing views.

"We hate racism just as much as you do." You are such a joke. I have been in a lot of real racist situations, REAL ACCOUNTS OF RACISM, and someone like you would bend over backwards trying to explain it away. People like you discount our very real experience first and then wonder why we're so done with you. Listen, like I have said many times on here, I was born and raised in South Carolina. I still live here. I saw the many white people supporting and raising money for Dylann Roof. We almost had another situation here by a disgusting white racist anti-semite who thankfully was stopped before he could do something. Where are the people like you who condemn these things here? Because I live here and I can honestly tell you there aren't many. It took the FBI coming here to stop the recent racist white guy from committing mass murder, not our very own SLED department which is supposed to be on top of these things. Why is it taking the federal government to prevent hate crimes in South Carolina if so many of "you" hate racism? Your argument is crap and so is your fake sympathy, so do us all a favor and save it.
