Biden has to denounce the LA police ambush

[NYCButterfinger]

The NJ GOP are running ads in my area blaming Biden and tying him to Black Lives Matter and LeBron James, etc.

Did Biden say anything about the police ambush?

[PSPS]

1. He already did

[soothsayer]

2. He did

@JoeBiden
This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.

Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.

Jill and I are keeping the deputies and their loved ones in our hearts and praying for a full recovery.

Two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies were shot and critically injured Saturday night, officials say. https://cnn.it/2GPTsmE

[BannonsLiver]

4. He did that yesterday. Try and follow along.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

104. LOL

[Baked Potato]

5. Many people have told me he did.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

6. Why is it bad to have him "tied" to BLM and LeBron James.

Both sound like solid liberal positions.

[radius777]

89. +1. Both are broadly popular

with independents of course Dems, and only disliked by racist RW types who aren't voting for us anyway.

The Willie Horton shit doesn't work anymore - it's not 1988. The suburbs tend to be socially liberal and much more diverse than they used to be.

[Solly Mack]

7. That's like the easiest damn google search of the day. Of course he did.

[Jersey Devil]

8. Thank you for your concern - and a question for you

Can you explain just exactly why it would be bad for Biden to be associated with Lebron James?

[NYCButterfinger]

10. WFAN radio said this morning that LeBron is a rich black man who shouldn't comment on policing

Because he is rich and not "oppressed"

WFAN has some pro-Trump sports hosts.

[Jersey Devil]

13. Stopped listening to WFAN long ago for that reason

Some of their hosts are just terrible bigots.

[NYCButterfinger]

18. A lot of them are very bigoted towards BLM, etc.

I think a lot of police unions donate to WFAN and their hosts live in NJ or Long Island where they don't associate with minorities that much

[greenjar_01]

31. "A lot of them are very bigoted towards BLM"

They're bigoted against black and brown people, not BLM. They're racists.

[NYCButterfinger]

42. Why are they popular with the NYC suburban populace?

WFAN is one of the largest sports radio stations in America

[greenjar_01]

43. You tell me

Do you think Trump is going to win New Jersey? Didn't the New Jersey GOP just get completely shellacked in 2018, including in areas like the 7th district and the 11th district that were GOP strongholds for fucking decades?

Do you think Trump is going to win Nassau county? Suffolk county? Westchester County?

[JI7]

83. They aren't popular with the white people in my city. why does your racist white people count more

than the non racist ones.

[lagomorph777]

23. For the same reason, rich white people should be silenced as well.

[Alacritous Crier]

24. HOW ABOUT THAT?!!

[JI7]

63. Do why is it ok for racist white trash like Trump to comment and run for public office ?

[radius777]

88. Morning show (Boomer n Gio) are RW tools.

They speak to a specific type of white guy who isn't voting Dem anyway.

Moose and Maggie show leans liberal, as does Steve Sommers. The rest seem mostly apolitical.

[Botany]

9. Tying Joe Biden to LeBron James

I like pretty pictures do you?

[Midnight Writer]

11. Biden needs to drop his pants when he makes a statement to get the attention Trump gets for

babbling incoherently.

Our media amplifies the outrageous and gives short shrift to the normal.

[Yavin4]

12. Because Biden and LeBron James are personally responsible for the actions of Black people?

And unless he specifically rencounces each and every instance of criminal act comitted by a Black person then he will be held responsible?

Never mind that this is a local police matter and the perp, when captured, will have the full weight of the law thrown at him unlike cops in Louisville, KY who walk the streets freely after murdering her in her own apartment without warning.

[LisaL]

14. He did, you must have missed it?

NT

[NYCButterfinger]

20. Maybe I did.

I didn't know.

[obamanut2012]

28. No, it isn't MAYBE you missed it, you missed it

There is no MAYBE. Biden said what he said, he didn't MAYBE say it.

Stop. It's becoming embarrassing for you.

[NYCButterfinger]

30. I'm not hearing it on the news

CNN, MSNBC, etc aren't talking about it

[LanternWaste]

35. Tough old world when you require responses spoon fed for you

rather than looking, researching and collating on your own.

"Tough. Principled. No-nonsense...." Really?

[JI7]

65. Is 24 hour Cable News your whole world ?

[SouthernCal_Dem]

15. As if LeBron James is some kind of evil person Biden can't be associated with...

Good grief!

[NYCButterfinger]

19. The NJ GOP is tying Biden, BLM, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, etc.

They say the athletes should be quiet

[Kingofalldems]

21. Got a link on that?

[NYCButterfinger]

22. It was a radio advertisement on WFAN this afternoon

I don't have a link

The NYGOP and NJGOP advertises on WFAN a lot, since most people who listen to sports radio are men, and men are the GOP's main voting bloc.

Police officers and police unions donate money to WFAN

[obamanut2012]

29. lolz

[Demsrule86]

54. Why are you spreading rightie propaganda? Who cares what they think.

[NYCButterfinger]

61. Yea, you should care what they think because they have a large population.

That's why.

[radius777]

91. I agree it is an issue, but they do have liberal hosts.

Maggie Grey is an outspoken liberal, as is Steve Sommers. They have talked about system racism (and sexism) and have voiced support for the players kneeling.

Boomer and Gio are the only real obnoxious RW'ers - fuck them.

Howard Stern the 'king of all media' (not on WFAN, but still a radio fixture) is a strong Biden supporter - he can clown any of them any day of the week.

[NYCButterfinger]

94. Did you ever like Boomer?

I think he is a bit too nuts, but he isn't far-far right.

[Demsrule86]

101. You think Jersey will go for Trump do you?

Give me a break. Your motives are not hard to fathom...really.

[greenjar_01]

34. FUCK the NJ GOP

How 'bout that?

[NYCButterfinger]

46. The NJ GOP is popular in the white suburbs where I live

[greenjar_01]

47. The NJ GOP is coming off the most humiliating defeat in a generation

They lost the 7th district and the 11th district in 2018, GOP strongholds for decades. They were basically wiped off the Congressional map in New Jersey two years ago. Will they regain some seats? Maybe, maybe not. But fearing the NJ GOP is about the silliest fucking thing I've heard today. They might be popular with your neighbors in your suburb, but they are not really that popular as evidenced not by your anecdotal story, but the most recent election results. In any case, Trump has ZERO chance of winning New Jersey or the suburban counties of New York, where he will lose in giant landslides, so your whole premise for this post is nonsense.

If you live in Edison, New Jersey, as your bio states, your district hasn't had a GOP Congressional member in almost 40 years. Your Congressional district has voted for the Democratic Presidential candidate in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016. Tell me again how popular the NJ GOP is in your suburb. Oh, sorry, you said your "white suburb."

[JI7]

69. Maybe you need to convince fucked up white racist trash to stop being fucked up

racist trash.

They are perfectly fine with the fucked up white trash trump taking us soldiers and every other fucked up thing he does which the white people in your neighborhood take pleasure in.

[JI7]

84. Are racist white suburbs the only ones that matter ? NJ is a diverse state and there are

other people that live there also

[DrToast]

16. Good lord

Enough with the bedwetting.

[LovingA2andMI]

17. Sounds Trollish....

Very much so....

[obamanut2012]

27. this

[uponit7771]

44. +1

[SoonerPride]

25. Since he did, I guess that should solve your worries.

Thanks for your concern, though

[liskddksil]

32. All these "thanks for your concern" posts I saw here in 2016 also worked out super well, right?

Didn't think so...

[LovingA2andMI]

37. Yep, Sounds Very Trollish

N/T....#KeepYourEyesOpen

[LanternWaste]

39. After this, therefor because of this, eh?

Gotta embrace the logical fallacy when the alternative is a narrative falling onto its own face for all to see.

Didn't think so, Part II

[USALiberal]

53. Fix your quote! nt

[cwydro]

99. Lol!

[JI7]

64. So you think Jim Comey is going to announce some investigation into Biden and you believe Russian li

about the democratic candidate ?

[obamanut2012]

26. Your concern is noted

Your concern about LeBron James is hysterical.

[liskddksil]

33. All these "Your concern is noted" posts I saw here in 2016 also worked out super well, right?

Didn't think so...

[greenjar_01]

36. Letting trolls run rampant didn't work out well either

[LanternWaste]

40. Did they cause social unrest after being told to wear shoes and shirts?

[liskddksil]

52. I don't see any troll in the original post or the countless other posts with even tough-love

criticism of the campaign citing poll numbers and articles that continue to be met with pithy "thanks for you concern" garbage posts.

[greenjar_01]

56. Do you think Trump is going to win the NYC suburbs in NY and NJ?

Because that's what the OP is supposedly concerned about. because of an ad on sports radio. On the specific claims of the OP, I call nonsense. Tough love? Is it tough love to say that Biden better attend to the NJ and NY suburbs of New York City, because it sounds like pure silliness to me, at best.

The OP then went on and on about the NJ GOP, and how his neighbors in his "white suburb" (tough love, see?) like them. His suburb's district hasn't put a Republican in Congress since 1983, and voted for Democrats for President during every election in this millennium. But sure, tough love requires that we take this nonsense seriously. The only GOP state party to get humiliated worse than the NJ GOP in 2018 was the California GOP, and that's a coin toss. Is concern about the NJ GOP tough love, or nonsense and bullshit? You pick yours. I know mine.

[liskddksil]

59. I've seen so many of these attacks without merit that I've decided

to just call out all of them no matter what.

[greenjar_01]

73. Well, when we are not judicious in what we will defend, we'll sometimes end up siding

with the foolish, the vile, and the fucking deplorable.

"The NJ GOP is popular in the white suburbs where I live."

You might consider that sometimes, just sometimes, those you've taken to criticizing are, perhaps, correct.

[NYCButterfinger]

82. Yes, Trump will win Suffolk County, NY

They love him there

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/05/23/donald-trump-ms-13-long-island-218417

Long Island has a lot of Back the Blue, pro-police people.

[JI7]

95. Is he going to win New York State ? Do you think Trump will lose Utah because Biden leads in Salt

Lake City ?

[LovingA2andMI]

38. Very Trollish Much, Yes?

N/T....#KeepYourEyesOpen Folks

[liskddksil]

51. I can see why Republicans call us snow flakes if this is what triggers us nt

[LovingA2andMI]

90. Right Wing Talking Points on DU....

Umm....

[liskddksil]

93. I'm a life-long left-wing Democrat and noone is going to censor me here thank you. nt

[LovingA2andMI]

96. Censor???

We SAID, WHAT WE SAID! Now, Check That!

[obamanut2012]

49. i literally have no idea what point you are trying to make

whatever

[liskddksil]

50. That I continue to see people belittle and attack posters who point out poll numbers

articles or comments with even the most tough-love tinged form of criticism of the campaign's trajectory as being somehow not on our side. Many of these same people also made the same posts in 2016 attacking the credibility of posters who were pointing out glaring red-flags in the Clinton/Kaine campaign operation. It's really upsetting that in a Democratic discussion board to see such stiffling of free-speech. If we can't handle posts that we disagree with, what business do we have calling out this on the other side?

[RobinA]

55. You Got That Right

I was labeled a concern troll 4 years ago for noting that there were Trump yard signs where I didn’t expect to see them. I’ve been around long enough to not get upset over that sort of thing (I did cast a spell on the loud mouthed since departed person who did it), but if I had been anywhere near new here I probably would not have come back.

[liskddksil]

58. Yep, what a turn off that would be

And it makes all of us look bad.

[JI7]

72. Did you bring up what Comey was going to do in your concerns ?

[liskddksil]

75. Not sure what Comey has to do with yard signs? Please explain. Nt

[JI7]

76. Becsuse it was Comey that hurt Clinton. not yard signs.

[liskddksil]

77. Hillary and her campaign had some big problems

and made numerous mistakes which they acknowledge. The Race was already tightening long before Comey. Learning from mistakes is how me move forward, not attacking and bullying people who point them out.

[JI7]

78. It was misogyny which hurt her. It's why it was easy for trash to want to believe

the lies.

You had Sanders supporters booing her at the convention.

So we did learn from that shit and what many of those scumbags were about.

[NYCButterfinger]

60. Exactly.

We cannot be complacent.

We need to hear tough love and harsh criticisms.

[JI7]

68. But we should lie and claim Biden didn't do something he did do

and when called out on it act like a victim.

[JI7]

67. The OP implied Biden had not done something which he did do

and when informed by others they brought up some concern fucked up white trash have about rich black guys .

[JI7]

71. Jim Comey hurt Clinton in 2016. She still won millions more votes

It's fucking dishonest to not bring up the facts concerning the 2016 elections .

As if misinformed concerned trolls knew anything. If they did why didn't they warn us about Comey.

[JI7]

66. Yes Trollish concerns were very much and issue in 2016.

[Blue_true]

41. He already has. Where have you been? nt

[Demsrule86]

45. No he doesn't. He has said repeatedly he does not support violence...and addressed it already...

[Sunsky]

48. He did and they're still running ads etc.

So what's next? Do you see why we shouldn't tailor our action to what the GOP/Trump is doing or might do?
Also, what is wrong with being tied to black lives matter and LeBron James?

[mcar]

57. Consider self-deleting

because he did, of course. Maybe you should have done your homework before posting. Just a thought.

[JI7]

62. Why is it those who are always demanding things are the least informed

[JI7]

70. Why is it wrong for Lebron James to have opinions . But trashy white fucked up celebs like Trump

running for president and attacking US soldiers is something to celebrate ?

[KentuckyWoman]

74. GOP talking points. Why?

Why would you see a GOP ad on the TeeVee and think there is even one piece of merit to it?

Do yourself a favor, automatically assume anything they churn out is total horse manure.

[JI7]

79. As if they would stop running the ads if Biden just did xyz.

[StarfishSaver]

80. Google?

[mcar]

81. Why is this still here?

[Tarc]

85. Why are you here pushing racist dog-whistling on the DU?

LeBron James is one of the leading voices on racial issues, including BLM.

This is not the venue in which to channel Candace Owens and others that pitifully flail away at James and other police reform advocates.

[NYCButterfinger]

86. It's not dog-whistling, I am saying that we live in a bubble and the media is not covering Biden

I didn't even see Biden's statement on MSNBC/CNN, etc.

He should have been swift on this, Trump has the momentum right now on law and order because a lot of police unions and firefighter unions are endorsing him left to right

[Tarc]

87. You are hilariously misinformed on the state of Trump's support, Chicken Little

No more time shall be wasted on a sub-1,000, Avatar-free user.

The fact that you have ZERO upvotes on this tripe is remarkably telling.

[liskddksil]

97. Oh my other favorite trope here - judging someone's opinion by how many posts they have nt

All the hallmarks of rational debate, not.

[Tarc]

103. 2,211

[radius777]

98. Biden is polling better on 'law and order' than Trump,

and has not been hurt in the swing states in the Midwest where the riots happened.

I don't see MSNBC or CNN covering much of the police shooting issue one way or the other - only FOX - and swing voters don't watch FOX.

Trump is the President - this is his America that he's created with his divisiness. He fans the flames of chaos because he thinks it benefits him but voters (outside of his base) are not that stupid.

[USALiberal]

92. Next Time do some research before posting. nt

[denbot]

100. My what great concern you profess..

Wink wink..

[MineralMan]

102. He has done that already.

It's been on the news. I saw it this morning.

Perhaps you should check before posting.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

105. He already did.
