1: Didn't you say that you were going to leave the forum for a whole year?
2: I'm not sure what Biden specifically meant by that, I think he said that because many Irish Catholics were immigrants and he was arguing that Trump was anti-immigrants? I remember Biden saying this during the debate but not the specific context.

Trump comes from a WASP family that looked down on and exploited Irish Catholics, immigrants, and working class people. (Along with blacks; remember Fred Trump was a Klansman, and the KKK hated Catholics and immigrants as well.) Biden was alluding to this history, suggesting that Trump continues to carry on that rich WASP superiority complex no matter how much he pretended to care about the WWC, and I thought it was a powerful moment.

Also, leave the forum for a year.

The only thing I’ve heard of Fred Trump being a Klansman was that he was arrested at a KkK Rally. Is there proof he was marching with the Klan that day? Was there other evidence suggesting his Klansmanship?

Who would be at a Klan rally that wasn't a participant or an eager onlooker?

Counter-protesters?

Perhaps, but I don't think Fred Trump would ever be a counter-protestor. Maybe he didn't support the KKK whole-heartedly, but he sure as hell wouldn't take a leap and protest against them.

Maybe he was just a passerby that got caught in the fracas. Either way, there's no solid proof he was attending the rally as a Klansman.

I am saying it right now: If either Ossoff or Warnock wins, I'll leave the forum for 1 solid year.

Promise?

Sure. Take a screencap right now.

because democrats and republicans like to yell and argue at each other on every issue and prove that they are good and the other guy is an idiot scumbag. that's just American politics for you.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is exactly why Ben Downing will beat Baker, Baker has a net disapproval rating since his Covid rollout

MA is an irish Catholic state and tired of Charlie Baker now.

I don't think Biden said Trump specifically looks down on Irish Catholics, I think he was implying that Trump reminds him of prejudiced WASPs when he was growing up.  He was trying to emphasize with groups that Trump looks down on today - Mexicans, Somalis etc.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Is there a group Trump doesn't look down on?

Archdioceses is a Traditionalists, but everyone knows Irish Catholic are usually Ds and Archdioceses helps out the homeless too just like the Salvation Army does
