I don't even have a problem with white people holding him up as a credit and example to their "race", because he is. I'd rather white people admirer somebody like Jimmy Carter than somebody like Trump.

But my context was clear and he knows it. He just chose the opportunity to make something petty out of it.

I actually do, I’ve been all over the world and all people are the same. The idea that somebody would hold up Jimmy Carter well as being white is ridiculous to me and is racist. The comment seemed pretty clear about the human race, even though it wasn’t spelled out that way. It shouldn’t have to have been. I’m a very white European male my great grandfather came over on a boat. I love dark skin and haired women like I said I’ve been all over the world and everybody I’ve met and interacted with are amazing people Thailand is my favorite, never been colonized great food and amazing people.

I understand. The funny thing about this whole side bar is that I actually could claim "white" as my race. Spaniards are White Europeans and that's the majority of my ancestry being Puerto Rican. Many Puerto Ricans do so. But I know I also have indigenous and African ancestry as well. I mark "other" for race on official forms and Hispanic/Latino/Puerto Rican for ethnicity. When I was young, they world let you claim that as your race on forms in school in Louisiana.

From the network that said that Barack Obama was the rudest most ill mannered president of all time (said during the Trump admin)
============================


President Joe Biden’s suggestion that President-elect Donald Trump could learn “decency” from former president Jimmy Carterled to outrage and a meltdown on Fox News’ Outnumbered on Monday.

“It’s a shame and it’s embarrassing for Joe Biden,” Tammy Bruce, a Fox News contributor, said during the segment.

“Joe Biden will be known for just being a failed president and an indecent man,” Fox News political analyst Lisa Boothe added.

“I think he’s just going to continue to go out looking like a bitter old man,” Dr. Nicole Saphier, another Fox News contributor, said.

For nearly seven minutes, the Outnumbered co-hosts unleashed angry comments about the president for doling out advice to the incoming president…….

But the Outnumbered co-hosts said Biden was out of line with his jab at Trump.

“I’ve said before on this program and other places and we’ve known for 50 years Joe Biden has been a jerk. So perhaps he should take some of his own advice with what’s happened to this country,” Bruce said.

Bruce insinuated Biden’s remark was made out of bitterness for the 2024 election results.…..

Correction, great grandfather came over on the boat from the northern islands. I carry a lot of British descent. Tyson fight was a joke. I think he pulled a lot of punches because of a contract Paul required, I never saw one upper cut and his upper cut is devastating. I watched the entire event. I have to say Puerto Ricans are awesome fighters. Serrano should’ve won that fight. She is a bad arse woman. I’m a big fan of anything related to fight events/sports. That was one of the greatest ones I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot. Jose Aldo pound per pound was the greatest fighter I’ve ever seen. I actually flew in and watched him one time at a fight just cause I needed to see it in person.

Donald Trump said Friday "no American can be happy" that flags will be at half-mast when he is inaugurated this month, claiming Democrats were delighted about the downbeat optics.

President Joe Biden ordered US flags lowered for a customary 30 days on federal buildings and grounds in honor of late president Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100 and will be buried in a state funeral next week.

For Trump, that means a jarring image of a nation in mourning on January 20 as he stands on the steps of the Capitol to take the oath of office, before returning to the White House in a remarkable comeback after his tumultuous first term.

The Republican took to his Truth Social platform to post an angry comment about the situation.

"Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it," Trump wrote.

He delivered an unsubstantiated accusation that Democrats "are all 'giddy' about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at 'half mast' during my Inauguration."

"They don't love our Country, they only think about themselves," Trump wrote, again without naming his targets.

Trump appeared to hint at the possibility of flags being ordered back up for his big day, saying the half-mast "may" happen and ending with, "let's see how it plays out."

But the White House put an end to any speculation.

Asked whether Biden's flags order could be reversed or reconsidered, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: "No."...............

That is not, the least bit, surprising. He is a piece of shirt.

Trump shows his lack of character every day. He is the definition of scum. The amount of time flags are flown at half mast has been accepted since Eisenhower's proclamation of 1954.

30 days is the norm. Considering how monumentally awesome Carter was, I would support him getting even longer. He was a national treasure.

Re reading the article Trump says “no American can be happy” about the flags being at half mast

then he later goes on to say “democrats are giddy” about the flags being at half mast

Therefore Trump doesn’t consider democrats to be Americans

Real Americans are heartbroken over this

Despite it being the norm we’ll see if this gains any traction and there is an angry right wing demand to raise the flags for the inauguration

I suppose he could order the flags back up once he takes the oath of office. It would be a shirtty move, but I totally expect him to do just that.

I hope most people don’t raise their flags.
