It’s the Republicans that can’t stop yammering about race and gender. They’re obsessed with the subject.

No doubt it is a one hundred per cent coincidence (and NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER OR RACE) that every single president in US history save that Obama fellow has been a white man.
If Harris is elected (I emphasize “if”—who knows what’ll happen between now and November) the US will finally have a female president. It’ll finally accomplish something special: not as bad, in terms of gender exclusion, as Japan!

Yes I admit I forgot about that Kenyan guy. 
Now edited. 
It’s a joke!

Wow, they don’t have time to think about why think may or may not have happened over the past four years? That’s gonna sit well with the working class. Dem message seems to be: “Who cares whose fault it is? Blame Trump!”
To clarify: I don’t mean during the same election.

it’d be less funny if you did - you voted for him, saw more of him, then said, yep, that’s my guy, again? 
The below isn’t exactly an answer to the above quote. The above quote just seems to create about as good a situation as any other to post this.
For me, it’s been somewhat of a journey.
It started in 1972 with an attempt to vote for George McGovern by absentee ballot from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, but I suspect I didn’t mail it in time to reach the Registrar of Voters in Baton Rouge in time to count. Years later, I tried to find out whether it counted, but no dice so far.
1976: Carter actually sounded like a mild segregationist (talk of “alien groups” invading the neighborhoods, and something about “ethnic purity”), a sort of “Lester Maddox Light.” While I got his statements garbled, I got the basic idea. And while he seemed to disapprove of what our government did to Allende, he didn’t seem very passionate about it. So I voted for Eugene McCarthy in 1976, and for John Anderson in 1980.
In 1984, I voted for Mondale. In 1988, Dukakis. In 1992, Clinton.
I guess as I aged, I got more conservative. In 1996 I voted for Bob Dole.
I voted for Bush in 2000, and again in 2004, hoping he’d get us out of the mess he’d gotten us into.
In 2008, views changing again, I tried to vote for Ron Paul, who was on the ballot in Louisiana, but the person who signed my absentee ballot, a co-worker, used their fictitious English teacher name and printed it elementary-school style, so I tore the ballot up.
2012, 2016, Gary Johnson.
2020, Donald Trump.

Some 250 years after the founding of your nation, I agree it is.

Starting to think Trump is going senile.

What in the flying fuck is all that about? Surprised he didn’t start telling us about the time he put tied an onion on his belt because it was the style at the time.
Finally, in September, “keys to the presidency” dude Allan Lichtman shares his prediction for the November election. As he emphasizes here, his prediction is not an endorsement. It’s instead based on his method of viewing US presidential elections as an up-or-down vote on the current White House party. If enough of his “keys” are against the current party, he predicts their loss. Here he thinks the Democrats have uncharacteristically not shot themselves in the foot.

Oh yeah?

An article from 2017 about Ivanka Trump has absolutely zero relevance to Trump being asked a simple question and waffling on for a minute and a half.
I figured you were unaware of what he was referring to.
Trump, the president’s older daughter and a top White House adviser, had been advocating for months for such a change — meeting with social conservatives to build a coalition, visiting Capitol Hill to talk with lawmakers and partnering on the issue with Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Mike Lee, who first proposed this type of expansion in 2015.

lol if that was what he was referring too, then why didn’t he say it in a straight forward way instead of talking shit?
He was rambling and had no clue what he was saying.
Maybe, however
The question seemed more like a what have you done for me lately gotcha.
He did. I knew what he was talking about. Maybe you’re just unaware of some of Trump’s lower key legislative accomplishments.

he was shit spewing word salad. The same thing, he accuses Kamala of doing.
Maybe Trump is having a nervous breakdown. Being the most hated man in America will do that to you.
