    Wait, so him pointing out the hypocrisy on the right is causing the divide ?

    He just said that the right in this country thinks that what they did at the US capital is OK, yet they claim a very different cause when it comes to BLM protests. And that makes him a divider ?

    Yes presidential from a guy who can never be president per our Constitution and yes our Constitution in right.

    Annie and I share a couple things in common. We are both foreign born and Constitutionally can never be POTUS. OOOOPS one more both registered as Republican but not from the crazy end.

    Yeah, but that's because there are more white people in the population.

    No, Biden said no such thing and it is a lie if he did say it. Are you calling Biden a liar?

    Yes. Quite true. I was very aware which is why I posted it. Now Let’s apply that logic to the flawed theory of systemic racism being the primary reason why we see less blacks in “fill in the blank”. How do you unify people when you’re pissing up their leg?

    Less black doctors because RACISM or because they’re are far fewer black medical students because there are far fewer black kids qualified to even get into medical school because there are far fewer black people.

    Less black scientists because RACISM, or the above statistical fact.

    Less black actors because RACISM?

    Less black TV shows because RACISM?

    You can’t manufacture equity. But Democrats are pushing it hard. They believe that even though black people are a minority they should somehow be equal in number. Never mind that black people dominate certain industry. Apparently that’s not good enough. There’s nothing unusual about that. But if white people dominate certain industry it’s RACISM.

    Any logical and rational person would accept that there is no equity in outcome if there is no equality in numbers. The math simply doesn’t add up.

    Biden calls for unity!

    Also Biden: "If those were BLM protestors, they'd have been treated differently."

    Would they have, you ****? Like the ones who hijacked six city blocks and turned downtown Seattle into the most dangerous place on the planet for months? Or the ones who looted Targets every other week? The only rioters shot were by the helpless business owners trying to protect their life's work.

    Let's be real, Biden doesn't want to be friends with the right. Our values our incompatible. It is what it is.

    The sooner we all admit it, the better.

    I find it a little ironic that the words sycophant and gullible are used to describe Trump supporters in a thread dedicated to a guy that commits to stand, and wants you to stand forever with a politician.

    When I was a kid and heard my dad laughing at something I hadn’t heard or seen, I’d ask why he was laughing. He’d say “because it’s better to laugh than cry”. I’m trying to laugh, but I’m not sure how much longer I can. It’s so sad to see people who thought they hated a thing grasp that thing in both hands and vow to never let it go.

    Biden said BLM would have been treated differently? Implying they would have all been shot or something? Yes. They would have been treated like they have been through 2020...allowed to burn the capital down, like they did Seattle, miles of NYC, LA and many other Democrat led cities across the country. Police would have been told to “stand down” in the face of a BLM mob, like they were all of 2020.

    So Biden not only lied. He implied Trump told these people to riot which is a total lie. No one can quote a single sentence he uttered that told anyone to attack the capital and commit violence. Not a single violent word uttered. Idiots acted on the own. Radical fools. If you want to claim they were incited by Trump. Then every Democrat repeating the lie that blacks people cant walk down a street or that cops are the real danger or there is systemic racism everywhere. THOSE word incited 10s of 1000s to burn down cities, attack federal buildings, loot businesses, injure 1000s of people, kill police and civilians. THOSE words led to innocent people being harassed while they peacefully ate at restaurants, worked in their cubicles. Businesses felt compelled to “re-educate” white people to think a certain way and feel guilt for just existing. Feel guilty for being white because it’s bad to be white, since white people are inherently racist according to the NYT and the rest of the MSM.

    If Trump incited this violence then who incited ALL the riots of 2020? No one? BLM rallies. BLM protests that always turned to riots. Democrat leaders speaking at the “protests”. Programming millions to believe in systemic racism WITHOUT A SHRED OF PROOF!! Just based on anecdotal feelings. Who inspired billions in damage. Destruction of businesses that can never recover? Who? Democrats and the MSM. Or were they responsible for their own actions? Only these few extremist Trump followers were incited but the untold 1000s of radical BLM and ANTIFA members acted on their own?

    False. Biden condemned violence.

    Is there anything in Arnoe’s speech you disagree with?

    You completely missed Arnie’s message.

    People can disagree with each other about policies or even values without hating each other.

    If that sounds divisive to you, the problem is you.

    I certainly wouldn't think anyone who thinks BLM wouldn't be treated differently had them stormed into the capitol, or that there is no systematic racism, is being divisive. Ignorant, but not divisive.

    Yeah, I was saying that what @grapeape said was false, which was that Biden said that "the right in this country thinks that what they did at the US capital is OK."

    Where else were police told to stand down other than Seattle?

    As far as I'm aware, not only did Trump not tell anyone to attack the capital and commit violence, but he didn't even tell anyone to GO to the Capitol Building did he?

    I'm assuming that you don't think that Democrats incited the BLM riots.

    Yeah, they would rather keep white people down in order to let black people who are minority to become as if they were equal in the percentage of the population! In theory, you could have 50% blacks and 50% whites in all of the above categories you mention, but that wouldn't happen without racist anti-white policies such as affirmative action - the only ACTUAL racist policy on the books!

    Honestly HTown, I hope he doesn't. But Biden is a dem and he most likely will try to bring some into the fold. But in politics, its either “my way” or “now way”. If Biden doesn't give the right 100% of what they want, he will be “dividing” the country. Hell, your post is case in point. Biden pointing out this position on the right, is not Biden dividing the county, it is the right dividing the country. I have heard for the last 4 years about how “elections have consequences”,well, they do. Welcome to the party.

    And I love how the right is now all about “unity” because they are the legislative minority now. But dont kid yourself. Biden could give the right the keys to the kingdom, and it wont matter, and they will call him the “divider”. That’s how politics in this country work, its never about what “your side” its always about how bad the “other side” is. Politics is a cesspool of self aggrandizing, egomaniacs who to make themselves look better, do everything in their power to make the other guy look worse.

    Keep going to that Hollywood well for your wisdom and morality. Too bad Arnold didn't include tips on how to get into the sack with the hired help, he appears to be an expert on that.

    Seriously though, why go to Hollywood celebs, why not find some murderers on death row and give us their opinion on this matter.... it would carry exactly the same amount of weight.

    Okay, so this was your reply to the above post from @smallblue, in which Biden is quoted. So where does it mention anything about the right thinking that what happened at the US Capitol Building is okay?

    Like Reagan, Schwarzenegger is an actor that held public office. Yes, he might have been voted in because he was already well-liked as an actor, but he does have some political experience.
