Mike Lester for August 08, 2018

I am pretty certain we knew Trump was a racist long before the Don Lemon and Lebron James comments. I can’t even award you a “nice try” for this one.

Aren’t editorial cartoonists suppose to be astute to the traits of the politicians they are portraying. Mr. Lester, here, seems to be ignoring the whole history of the Rump’s racists behaviors.

This is why teachers require you to show your work.

You got the right answer, but the process getting to the right answer has nothing to do with it.

You must have copied from someone else’s paper.

And again Mr. Lester shows his simplistic side and not just his art.

To all of you lefties that say that Trump is a racist, please provide evidence. Just because you say or write it doesn’t make it true. Pointing out that Waters is dumb does not make one a racist. Just like pointing out that Pelosi is dumb doesn’t make one a misogynist. Maybe they are just getting senile.

The Central Park Five, for a start.

Lester, here are some of the things missing from your equation: Trump sued twice for refusing to rent to black people; fined for removing black dealers in NJ casino when an “important” gambler visited; called white supremacists “good people”; continued condemnation of Central Park Five; promoted birther nonsense; condoned beating of BLM protestor by Trump supporters. “I like Mike” at the end of his tweet is just as telling as “some of my best friends are black” BS.

This list does NOT include his racist actions and statements against other groups.

Lester is right about one thing: Trump is offensive in many ways, not just because he’s a racist.

Truth hurts, doesn’t it dweebs?

The ‘toon does illustrate that Rs think “Math” doesn’t involve numbers.

Oh Lester, the old “I can’t be a racist because I hate everyone” argument isn’t going to work here.

It doesn’t work for you. It doesn’t work for me.

It doesn’t work for my embarrassing old aunt Edna when she’s ranting and raving at Thanksgiving.

It doesn’t work for the President of the United States when he’s sitting on his golden toilet tweeting at 3AM.

If you’re going to defend Mr. Trump’s apparent racism you’ll need to do better than this.

If you’re going to attack the charges against Mr. Trump for being a racist prick you’ll need to do better than this.

Tell your buddy, Mr. Donald, that if he behaves like a racist, if he speaks like a racist, if he condones racist behavior, there is little doubt. He’s a racist.

If Trump does not want me to believe he’s a racist, the solution is simple. He can aggressively pursue and punish racism throughout the United States. He can stand up and speak out for diversity, instead of being the “Good ole boy” poster child. He can do something besides tweet, he can act.

Until then, I’ll tend to believe that Mr. Trump is a racist. I find it difficult to understand how you can condone and support his behavior.

Not all racists wear sheets or burn crosses.

So, Lester accepts #45’s racism and dishonesty?

Wait Wait, So you are putting in the “Dumb” Pile Mitt Romney Bill Kristol Senator Lindsey Graham Jeb Bush? Who is remaining in your party? Trump is not a Politician, he is a Cult leader. In 32 months we will get a rash of confessions about how the Cult leader stole their money, destroyed their self esteem was hard to resist. If we are lucky there won’t be confessions Charles Manson style about how they were so brainwashed that they killed for their Messiah

Lester is right… Those comments don’t make Trump racist… His racism was apparent well before this latest ignorant tweet.

Yes Trump’s guy, Steve Bannon! www.forbes.com/sites/janetburns/2018/05/19/cambridge-analytica-whistlblower-bannon-sought-to-suppress-black-voters

Trump’s racism is loved by his supporters. www, nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/15/opinion/leonhardt-trump-racist.html

SFCGaTor, another racist behavior against American patriots , but ya’ll don’t mind one bit do ya!!!!!!!!!…www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/06/26/the-pentigon-promised-citizenship-to-immigrants-who-served-now-it-might-help-to-deport-them

Lester is actually right about one thing: Trump has called so many people of all races dumb (& a variety of other insults) that calling these two black guys dumb doesn’t prove he is racist. There is plenty of other evidence that Trump is racist, but this isn’t it: Trump is quick to call anyone dumb, regardless of race.

I must agree with Lester here: just because Trump says racist things, does racist things, and thinks racist things, that in no way means he’s a racist.

SFGaTor, in simple retort to my actions, You are a fat liar. As for deleting my posts I’ve reprinted this so you can’t delete my responses. Semper Fidelis fake patriot! As for prior administrations doing what Trump has done you’re wrong and ignorant…“under previous administrations ice deferred deportation”, but Trump’az administration has been strict and deported vets! It’s been Democratic Congressmen trying to stop this injustice!

The link is easy, if you’re bright enough to google the article.

^ Exactly. Chain migration is evil and needs to be stopped immediately. Unless it’s the family of the FLOTUS. Top Republicans can’t be expected to be under the same laws as Mexicans.

Why can’t we get more white person immigration the Trump approves of from. Those socialist hellholes like Sweden , Finland and Denmark? Oh because their standard of living is better than ours.

Actually, I think heartless administration of immigration laws is typical of this administration and should apply immediately to the president’s family and GOP Senator’s families first and foremost, and those military who clearly like heartless use of these laws used on their “brothers in arms.”
