Biden's running mate

[rogue06]

Alternative facts are simply those facts that the liberal deliberately suppresses because they don't fit the narrative.

As I noted recently

Alternative facts is legitimate although a clumsy phrase. They are the sort of things that one side might leave out to paint a false picture.

For instance, if I were to say that A threatened to kill B, that A owns a firearm of the same caliber used to kill B and that witnesses say someone of A's size and build was seen running away right after the gun shot, I paint a pretty damning picture of A being guilty of killing B.

But if I left out the "alternative facts" that A was was a thousand miles away where dozens of people saw and spoke with him at the time of the shooting we suddenly have a very different picture.

Now you can still believe that the truth is that A shot B regardless of the evidence but you would be choosing your truth over the facts.

Nah, you believe Trump is an OVERT racist. A "racist phony" is a bunch white liberal racists who believe minorities are inferior and pretend like they're not racist (though you probably couldn't get anymore overt in the case of Biden and his history), which makes it much more insidious and dangerous. White liberals are the exemplification of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Well it's pretty clear to anyone with half a brain that Trump is a racist, it's even clearer that he is using race as a campaign tactic to rally his racist base. But as far as who the real racist party or racist candidates are, I'll leave that up to the targets of racisms to decide. Oops, I think they've already decided. You lose.

Is she a citizen of the USA? I saw something saying both her parents have to be citizens but wasn't this hashed out with Ted Cruz?

Bahahahahahahahahaha, Every 9/11 Truther that I personally know are die-hard Democrats. Same for the Autism Is Caused By Vaccines folks I know.

I can think of plenty of Republicans/conservatives who buy into those ideas.

It's possible that 9/11 Truthers and anti-vaxxers do fall more into one of the parties than the others, but they're certainly present in both.

Yes, she was born in California so she is unquestionably eligible. Her parents' citizenship status is not relevant. Jacob Wohl, who has a long history of creating hoaxes, posted something (untrue) online to the contrary that has gained traction.

I see it more among libertarians (at least those who still care about it).

No, actually alternative facts are the slop that right wing propagandist feed the ignorant and the ignorant wallow in slop.

It was hardly unknown for white male slave owners to have children by their black female slaves. I understand that some of George Washington's descendants are black.

When did George Washington have children?

Ok then.

Trump can't possibly be a racist. He's an egoist. And egoist can't be racist because they don't think they're better than one particular race; they think they're better than everyone, regardless of race. White liberals are the quintessential definition of racists. They believe minorities are inferior thus need help from the state. In Biden's case, he's an overt racist in the sense that he has an overt racist history. Granted, he desperately tries not to be a racist, but fails miserably because it's just in his nature and he can't help it. And I think it's no accident he picked Kam. First of all she's black (supposedly), so he can pander the race card in his favor, something liberals do best, yet she too has a history of policies that ended up hurting minorities. See how this works? It's a racism that's very subtle and extremely dangerous.

To my knowledge, George Washington has zero known descendants. His two children weren't his biological children but instead were from his wife's previous marriage.

When did George Washington have children?

As far as is known he didn't, he adopted two children from relatives I believe, but there are stories out there of him fathering a slave child by the name of West Ford, and I for one wouldn't doubt that for a second. But I think Hypatia probably had Thomas jefferson in mind who is known to have had children with his slave Sally Hemmings.

That would make better sense.

The last time I looked the genetic tests conducted revealed that Sally Hemings children were fathered by Thomas Jefferson or one of his brothers. The latter part always get dropped presumably because it isn't nearly as interesting. Of course there may have been more testing conducted in the last couple of years that could pinpoint it more precisely but I've not heard of it
