Newsome showed what he thought about black people in that interview. He said I am just like you "dumb" in so many words. That is the stereotype Newsome and other Dems associate with black people. That is why these white liberal socialist think voter ID is racist. That is why they do not see black people as capable of improving themselves and use government programs designed to help them but really keep them impoverished and reliant on them. Newsome just said it out loud for all to hear.

The two of you are reaching so hard it's as if you have had to have surgical arm extension transplants. "in so many words"?  With all that's going on you have chosen to ignore instead you grasp at straws. But after all that is the trumpian way. Grasp at straws while yelling "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

Just an observation. I mean if you want to make someone else out to be crooked maybe you should not have it be done by someone whose history is so murky himself. I actually think that's a positive suggestion.

I thought trump was enough of an example of that. But yes, it does seem they're beginning to use that tactic across the board. And it seems by the results from the MAGA crowd it's working for them.

Thanks for the bio, Encyclopedia Brown. He's saying the same thing a lot of people are saying. Are you saying only liberal point-of-views should be represented here, or are you just butthurt because Jazzy Jaz is gone?

Come on man. You thought just because he was black that he was a liberal. This thread itself is about things democrats are doing and saying. That's pretty cheap attempt at covering your own azz.

Absolutely not. I know he's a conservative and I'm pretty sure I've quoted his Tweets before. He a Black man from #Commonsenseland. I posted his comment because he's saying what a lot of people are thinking, but if someone with limited melanin says it, they're racist.
So really, you insisting that I thought he was a liberal just because he's Black is because you thought he was liberal just because he's Black... which in and of itself is a racist trope that you're now deflecting on to me.

I suppose you could be pointing out just how crazy those on the right can be when they insist on using racist tropes towards black people like "low IQ and ghetto" to describe them.
And I would certainly agree that a lot of people think, and many actually say those exact same things.
If that was the point you were making bravo! Well done!

Nah, more like when the shoe fits don't hide it in the closet and go barefoot for fear of hurting someone's feelings. If someone is low IQ and ghetto, calling it out isn't a "racist trope", it's a reality.
On the flip side, calling everything a racist trope because someone is Black - that's a cop-out. And I'll let you in on a secret: Americans see that for what it is as well, even if many won't say it out loud.

You have proven in the past you're smarter than that. I have no idea what happened to you.
You know as well as I do those are racist comments. Unlike many I often call out people who make excuses to call anything and everything racist. But this one is obvious and you support it. Hmmmm.....

So a conservative directly targets three black Democrats, not a single white Democrat, call these black democrats low IQ and ghetto and you don't see anything racist about that. At that point point you should be calling yourself names. Supporting racist comments is not attractive. Unless of course you're a trumpian. Then it becomes a badge of honor. I heard it will take between six and eight weeks for your badge to arrive.

No, nothing racist. And nobody was "targeted". They happen to be three Black people that are using a "schtick" (his words) to try to appeal to a certain class of voters. If they happen to be the three Black politicians doing it - pointing it out isn't racist.
He's merely of the opinion that voters are tired of it and are no longer putting "likely oppressed" and "show me how ghetto you are" at the top of their checklist before they go to the polls -- and that's both white and Black people.
It's just one in a long list of "schticks" that has lost its luster. It's riding shotgun with "Nazi, fascist, criminal, threat to democracy" and all the other b.s. that Libs somehow think will still pay the bills. Once they get past this (and just screaming f&$k! everyday) maybe they can move on to policy and start clawing to get some of their voters back.
I doubt it.

In order to make yourself feel better you would have to pretend that only black Democrats do that and it's just a coincidence he only pointed out three black Democrats. Reality seems to be escaping you.
Newsflash. Not all trump supporters are racists. But all racists are trump supporters. And you are on here making excuses for one of them.
And voters are tired of "Immigrants are taking our jobs!" too. The problems of white people have always been blamed on people of color. Once it was black people and now it's immigrants.
Claiming the education system and opportunities are the same across the board are what have become your ammunition causing both to continue being the casualties. And this administration has taken it even further backwards.
You have applauded all of it. Even now you are playing Stretch Armstrong to make excuses for an obviously racist remark.

I didn't say or pretend only Black democrats do that - neither did he. If I say "the Browns suck" it doesn't mean I think all other teams are good, nor does that imply that I think the Browns are the only team that sucks.
All the other bluster in that post is just a bunch of "blah, blah, blah".
You have a bizarre way of thinking you can paint fantasy as true any time you think it fits a narrative. That doesn't fit a narrative, you're creating one. And when you do it in the matter that you did above, it's nothing more than a troll tactic.

He chose to target three black democrats specifically. This isn't even a close call. At least I'm not using ignorance of the facts presented as my narrative. The only troll tactic being used here is yours. Sadly I think you know better than what you're posting here and don't even believe it yourself.

In Fantasy Land a person throwing a bomb at protesters is the fault of the protesters. Definitely not the fault of the jihadist yelling "Allahu Akbar". I hope the good people of NYC can survive this mess. What a joke.

It was the bombers that yelled "jihadist yelling "Allahu Akbar"....
There is like 5 articles on the subject... Pretty interesting stuff really.,
I don't see how Mamdani is in anyway responsible for this. Not sure what problem you have with him or even why. I don't think you live in NYC..,, so I'm not sure what MESS you are speaking of.
I also don't hear many NYC residents crying and screaming about him.
Some for sure, but that's to be expected with any politician. Of course, us posters on Dawgtalkers.net wouldn't know anything about that now would we?

It's a amazing how people keep flying a false flag about Tweets that were sent out before any of the details about these two people were even known at the time.
That's how people in Minnesota were called "domestic terrorists" based on "What we knew at the time".
Some people try to be more responsible than that. And when they do you try to make it into them doing something wrong. Murica!

Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Ken Griffin, Stephen Ross, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, and now Howard Schultz have/are in the process of moving to Florida. That doesn't include the people who moved to Texas in the last 2 years. (Elon alone) Companies that have moved out of NY/CA or in the process... Public Storage, ExxonMobil, Yamaha, Palantir, SpaceX, X, Tesla, Chevron, Playboy, Oracle That is a massive shift in state funds.

It's just flat-out crazy that people constantly excuse, endorse, downplay and strawman this type of behavior. It's (by far imo) the number one reason people have abandoned the Democratic party and the loudmouths that constantly turn every event into a shameless shell game. I had no idea that the folks that committed this crime were democrats? wow Nobody ever said they were democrats, not that me or anyone here ever expects you to follow the simplest of conversations. I'd try to explain it to you, but I'd have better luck teaching my dog to do my taxes. The Title of the thread is: The Dems...Again And the post was about Mamdani. Duh. Quick question... when you see a "bathroom" sign, do you assume someone is in there taking a bath?

Why are some people on the internet as dumb as a box of rocks?
The perception that some people on the internet act "dumb as a box of rocks" is a well-documented phenomenon driven by a combination of psychological, social, and technological factors rather than an absolute decline in human intelligence. The internet, particularly social media, acts as a amplifier, making individual instances of ignorance or irrationality more visible, while anonymity and reduced social consequences allow people to behave in ways they would not in person.
Here is a breakdown of why this phenomenon occurs:
1. Psychological and Behavioral Factors
The Online Disinhibition Effect: When people are online, they often feel invisible, anonymous, and disconnected from the immediate social consequences of their actions (e.g., lack of eye contact, social cues). This causes them to abandon social restrictions and act in ways they normally wouldn't.
The Dunning-Kruger Effect: People with limited knowledge or competence in a particular domain tend to overestimate their abilities. The internet allows these individuals to voice their opinions, often with supreme confidence.
Confirmation Bias: People tend to seek out and believe information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs, creating echo chambers where false information is accepted without question. Emotional Regulation: Social media often rewards, and thus promotes, emotional outbursts, anger, and moral outrage over nuanced, thoughtful discussion.
2. The Structure of the Internet
Visibility of Ignorance: Before social media, "stupid" opinions were limited to a small, private circle. Today, everyone has a "WiFi connection," making it easier to see and hear, but not necessarily producing more of it.
Algorithms and Echo Chambers: Algorithms are designed to boost engagement, and content that triggers outrage or intense emotion often travels faster and further than accurate, calm information.
Bot Activity: A significant percentage of online interactions are driven by automated bots designed to push specific agendas, manipulate opinions, or create artificial engagement, which can skew the perception of human intelligence.
3. Cognitive and Social Changes
Attention Span and Deep Thinking: The constant, fast-paced nature of digital media has been shown to reduce attention spans, encourage skimming over deep reading, and impair working memory.
Information Overload: The overwhelming amount of information makes it difficult for people to discern quality, leading some to rely on whatever they read first or what is shared most frequently.
Lack of Consequence: The feeling of being "hidden" behind a screen lowers inhibition, fostering "keyboard warriors" who may not be as aggressive or ignorant in face-to-face interactions.
In summary, the internet has simply created a platform where ignorance is more easily broadcast, amplified, and reinforced. It has not necessarily made people stupider, but it has made their capacity for "dumb" behavior more noticeable.

Because trump loves the uneducated and smart people don't like him? At least that's what he said.
So are you trying to explain why you are here?

Why do people want to interject "Trump" into every argument even when he has nothing to do with the subject being discussed?
It's a phenomenon that's hard to miss. At this point, it's almost like a universal "internet tax". Whether the topic is a recipe for lasagna or a new space discovery, someone eventually pivots to Donald Trump.
Psychologically and socially, there are a few reasons why this "common denominator" persists:
Political Hobbyism: Many people now treat politics like a high-stakes sport or a hobby. According to research by Eitan Hersh, "political hobbyists" consume news for emotional or intellectual gratification rather than to achieve concrete goals. For these users, interjecting his name is a way to feel "engaged" or to get a quick hit of tribal validation.
Identity as Politics: For a significant number of internet users, their political stance has become their entire identity. When your worldview is centered on a single figure—whether you adore or despise them—every subject starts to look like a nail that needs a "Trump hammer."
Outrage as Currency: Social media algorithms prioritize content that triggers "moral outrage"—a mix of anger and disgust. Mentioning a polarizing figure is a guaranteed way to drive engagement, as it forces others to either defend their "side" or attack the "opposition".
Conversational Punting: Sometimes, people bring him up because they don't actually have anything to contribute to the actual topic. Pivoting to a massive, pre-packaged debate is easier than learning about the specific nuances of, say, interest rates or marine biology.
Costly Signaling: By saying something extreme about a polarizing figure in an unrelated thread, a person is signaling their loyalty to their own group. They are essentially saying, "I am so committed to our cause that I'll bring it up anywhere".

An easy explanation is trump said he loves the uneducated and smart people don't like him. That helps explain a lot of it.
Or are you trying to explain why you're here?

Might want to ask again with this particular focus.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

I like the way you think. 👊 This actually helped explain a lot.
How would you rate or explain a person's behavioral health when they constantly react in such a manner?
While constant interjection of a political figure like Donald Trump isn't a formal medical diagnosis, psychologists and mental health experts suggest it is often a sign of poor emotional and cognitive health. As of 2026, research increasingly links this behavior to chronic stress and clinical-level anxiety.
Experts explain this behavior through several lenses:
1. Clinical Patterns: "Obsessive Political Preoccupation" Clinicians have observed patients across the political spectrum who bring up Trump not to discuss policy, but as a focal point for obsession, rage, and dread.
Obsessive-Compulsive Presentation: The behavior often mirrors OCD, characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts, compulsive news monitoring, and an inability to stop thinking about the figure even when attempting to focus on other topics.
Emotional Dysregulation: Constantly pivoting to a polarizing figure is frequently a sign of an inability to manage internal stress. The person externalizes their anxiety or anger to gain a brief sense of control.
2. The Impact of Chronic Political Stress
Large-scale surveys, including the American Psychological Association's (APA) 2024 and 2025 "Stress in America" reports, show that politics has become a chronic health stressor:
Physical Symptoms: High levels of political stress are linked to insomnia, fatigue, and even cardiovascular strain due to elevated cortisol. Social Isolation: Roughly one in three Americans report that the political climate has strained family relationships, often because every conversation inevitably turns to a political headline.
3. Cognitive and Behavioral Health Signs
Catastrophic Thinking: Those who pivot every topic to Trump often suffer from a "catastrophic" thinking style, viewing every event as an existential threat to democracy or their personal safety.
Identity Fusion: For some, their political stance has become their entire identity. When this happens, a non-political conversation feels irrelevant or even threatening to their sense of self, triggering an "automatic reflex" to pivot back to their primary obsession.
Loss of Nuance: Frequent interjectors often exhibit "black-and-white" thinking, losing the ability to distinguish between a legitimate unrelated topic and their political worldview.
In short, experts often rate this as a state of functional impairment where a person's "mental bandwidth" is so consumed by a single figure that it leaks into their work, sleep, and relationships, ultimately eroding their professional and personal well-being.

Another day, another muslim trying to kill Jews on US soil. Thanks Joe. So far, it looks like he was a crappy shot, I hope that holds up.
I wonder how CNN will frame this? I'll help. Former National Guardsman's sunny day changes drastically when he reached Jewish University.

Honestly, there is no one else except you and and rarely a few others who reply in the political forum anymore that are center or republican. I think everyone else has realized that there is no point.... except to occasionally get a rise out of the crazy liberal logic.
Meh.

I'm guilty, you're guilty, Pit is guilty, Peen is guilty.. We are all guilty of making this Left vs Right. We've all been played. We've all been lied to and led down a path of distraction. All so that extreme wealth can get breaks that we, as everyday, average citizens, can never realize. But yet we keep beating each other up just so those that have wealth can continue to grow wealth. Generally on our backs.

You can say that again!
I'm not sure what you don't understand.
The post was about Mamadani's reaction to the two little terrorists.
Mamdani is a democrat (although many say communist).
Do you think everyone in the story should be a democrat?
I really, really, really, really, really, don't understand what could be so confusing.
Do you want me to start all over with the original post and tear it apart sentence by sentence?

Biden wasn't president in 2016.  Here's how they "framed it". Terror suspect in deadly Old Dominion shooting in Virginia was subdued by students, officials say When a convicted ISIS supporter stepped into an ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University on Thursday and opened fire, the group of students inside barely hesitated before leaping up to subdue their attacker. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/12/us/old-dominion-university-shooting-virginiaYou have become such a sad little man.

Arrested under Obama,sentenced under Trump1,released by Biden's Justice Dept.Deservedly killed under Trump2. So did he serve his term as sentenced or did Biden commute his sentence or did Biden's adminstration somehow introduce guidelines for releasing prisoners early? I honestly don't know the answers here. Most prisoners get out early. . . . That alone doesn't make Biden culpable. Was there something else?
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Considering you can't accept that it's about Dems, what would be the point. I think you need to get something defined for yourself... Communist!

He was released under Biden, [censored]. Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was released early from federal prison due to completing a drug treatment program.  He had been sentenced to 11 years in 2017 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS but was let out on December 23, 2024, after serving about 7-8 years. This program typically allows up to a year off sentences, though it's unusual for terrorism convicts, and details on his qualification remain unclear.

You people forget how this works.
A judge holds a trial. A jury reaches its verdict based on the evidence presented. The judge hands out the sentence. A parole board decides when and if a prisoner is released.
At no point in time does the president have anything to do with any of that.
Yes, sad.
You posted some AI induced rhetoric about why people bring trump up in situations that have nothing to do with trump. Yet here you are. More proof that every accusation you make ends up being a confession.

At no point in time does the president have anything to do with any of that. The available reporting points to bureaucratic and policy failures inside the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), not to a specific, deliberate early‑release policy choice by the Biden White House, although the administration is ultimately responsible for overseeing DOJ and BOP.So, sorta like Sleepy had nothing to do with the border disaster while you made up excuses and screamed "Conggrrrresss!" Yet it was ended the day Trump took office. According to the BOP, talks to end the loophole that lets terrorists out early "stalled" during the Biden era. But don't worry, the loophole that lets terrorists out early has been ended. Again, as soon as Trump took office, in March 2025. Thanks again though, for another dumbed down, meaningless civics lesson. You're good at showing us that you are your own proctologist.

 Now you're playing Stretch Armstrong. For someone with their head planted directly up their posterior to the point they do their own colonoscopy it's odd for you to be talking about someone else in reference to a proctologist.
