A lot of white people are faking for popularity's sake. If everyone was so embarrassed to be white, they wouldn't have just started apologizing. They're getting mileage out of the morons thinking they actually sympathize. The reality is, there is no white privilege, there is only black whining and Popovich's nose should apologize for showing glaring signs of alcoholism.

George Bush, Colin Powell, and Mitt Romney Say They Won’t Support President Trump but They Find No One Cares

Powell is declining to renew the endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, when he called Obama “a transformational figure.” Pressed in a network interview to say whether he’s backing Obama, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff demurred Tuesday.

Have you ever had one of those days? You know, the kind when you wake up in the morning, roll out of bed and the first thought that came to your mind is “I wonder what Mitt Romney and Colin Powell would want me to do today?” I didn’t think so. But, because the New York Times doesn’t believe in individuals, it believes in groups, and groups must have leaders (every time I read ‘black leaders’ and ‘Evangelical leaders’ I want to throw up, the black folks and the Evangelicals in my circle of acquaintances and friends and family don’t have leaders, they make up their own minds), it seems to think that it has stumbled upon a key weakness for President Trump in 2020.
It was one thing in 2016 for top Republicans to take a stand against Donald J. Trump for president: He wasn’t likely to win anyway, the thinking went, and there was no ongoing conservative governing agenda that would be endangered.
The 2020 campaign is different: Opposing the sitting president of your own party means putting policy priorities at risk, in this case appointing conservative judges, sustaining business-friendly regulations and cutting taxes — as well as incurring the volcanic wrath of Mr. Trump.
But, far sooner than they expected, growing numbers of prominent Republicans are debating how far to go in revealing that they won’t back his re-election — or might even vote for Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee. They’re feeling a fresh urgency because of Mr. Trump’s incendiary response to the protests of police brutality, atop his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private discussions.
Former President George W. Bush won’t support the re-election of Mr. Trump, and Jeb Bush isn’t sure how he’ll vote, say people familiar with their thinking. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah won’t back Mr. Trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife, Ann, or cast another ballot this November. Cindy McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, is almost certain to support Mr. Biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office.
And former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced on Sunday that he will vote for Mr. Biden, telling CNN that Mr. Trump “lies about things” and Republicans in Congress won’t hold him accountable. Mr. Powell, who voted for former President Barack Obama as well as Hillary Clinton, said he was close to Mr. Biden politically and socially and had worked with him for more than 35 years. “I’ll be voting for him,” he said.

Bush, Powell, and Romney Won’t Support Trump in 2020: If a Tree Falls in the Forest ….

The old saying goes “If a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?”
I’m reminded by that today in this respect — “If George W. Bush, Colin Powell, and Mitt Romney announce they wont’ support Donald Trump in 2020, does anyone care?”
The media would have us believe the “news” of the weekend is the “earth-shattering” announcement by George W. Bush, Colin Powell, and Mitt Romney that they will not be supporting the re-election of Pres. Trump.
Really? I don’t recall much enthusiasm for candidate Donald Trump among the GOP establishment and Bush 43 Administration officials in 2016 before Donald Trump pretty much got himself elected in spite of them.
As I recall it, prior to taking down Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump took a Gatling Gun to a field of 18 GOP “establishment” politicians, giving them various derogatory nicknames like “Little Marco”, “Lyin Ted”, and “Low-Energy Jeb”.
I seem to recall about 100 or more “national security” and “foreign policy” types from the Bush 43 Administration signing a letter before the 2016 election stating they would never accept an appointment offered for a position in a Trump Administration.
The NeverTrump stalwarts who are still prominent today have more and more cast their lot with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in overtly rooting for the Trump Administration to fail. And for the most part, it has nothing to do with the policies his administration has pursued – it has to do with their personal dislike for Trump, and the fact that as long as he sits atop the party and dictates the agenda, the GOP establishment cannot regain a position of authority in Washington that they are accustomed to having.
Donald Trump was polling at roughly 1% with GOP primary voters where he came down the escalator in June 2015 to announce he was entering the GOP Presidential primary contest. He didn’t lack name recognition – he lacked support of conservatives and main-stream GOP voters.

Here I am, it’s not these rioters I can tell you that.
The protesters have clearly read their history about movements for social change. It has worked already, by the way...

Protesting isn't going to convince lifelong hoodrat criminals, like George Floyd, to stop doing meth, fentanyl and passing counterfeit money. Is that what you meant? Or just the resisting arrest itself?
And just so you're clear, nobody actually believes there's a need for social change... except for black people being perpetual victims. And 'it worked already' is the nice way of saying, "people pretend to support blacks so they stop looting'.
If you want blacks to stop being killed by police, convince them to stop resisting arrest. I know it's too much to ask them to stop being criminals.
And most people know which one the Chiefs play in.

I know because I used to be an NFL fan before they gave attention to Kaeperprick the pretend African American that didn't do anything for African Americans or kneel until he lost his job. I doubt half the men you gathered would know unless they were staunch NFL fans. I don't care if Trump knows or not. Bath House Barry claimed to be a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan and said he'd regularly watch them at Cominsky Field.
You're babbling.
We have a Constitution and we have to follow that Constitution and the President has drifted away from it,” Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell says he agrees with fellow former generals who have condemned President Trump’s actions against protesters.
Yeah that Colin Powell, a general and a Joint Chief boss and all that other stuff under 4 presidents, was always a commie, wasn’t he?

Republican Voters Against Trump spokesperson Sarah Longwell said in a statement that disaffected GOP voters could be the most effective voices of persuasion for Biden.
“There are millions of voters who used to be reliable Republicans but are disgusted by the Trump administration,” Longwell said. “Some are upset about the skyrocketing debt. Others about how he has debased the office. Some wish he would pursue a more humane immigration policy.”
But the one thing that unites them all, she added, is “wanting the country to move on from this deeply un-American presidency.”
