Trump loves himself and himself only. Surely the record number of farm bankruptcies proves his ham handed stupidity in handling the economy, especially farm economies. That's somewhat important in Iowa. You should check that out.
You seem lost on what means, so I know it is a wasted effort but I'll explain it, using small words whenever possible. Please focus.
The term 'back lives matter' is important to say because when the words 'we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,' it did not include black men at all. When the words 'with liberty and justice for all' were written it did not include justice for people of color, especially Americans who were of African heritage. What that means is as a society we have excluded African American lives as being equal to any life, let alone ALL lives. Thus the phrase is needed because it reminds us of how we need to stop excluding black lives from the same protections that white lives take for granted. Nationally, policing has too often made black lives disposable and worth less and their death from police interactions, even when unarmed. That needs to change. Chew on that. It going to happen regardless of your liking or not.

Oh do tell a Murdoch paper printed something racist. I'm so shocked.
No. I don't see a massive problem there. On the other hand Trump needs financial , legal and mental help.
Congratulations President elect Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris!

Watch them totally transition from he is competent to run the country to he’s not competent to stand trial. “Look your honor we have him suggesting citizens inject disinfectants to cure Covid”.

For someone in charge of the Southern immigration crisis, she and the media have been quite mum on this. Now we have even more kids in cages, yet it isn't even mentioned in the mainstream. Nor has the administration allowed the media to cover this onsite, in hiding the optics. It used to be front page news.

Keep up Abe. The Biden administration has been working on this since 1/20.
Number of unaccompanied migrant children held by Border Patrol falls 88% in 5 weeks
By Camilo Montoya-Galvez
May 3, 2021 / 11:19 AM / CBS News
The number of unaccompanied children held by Border Patrol has plummeted by 88% since late March, when U.S. migrant holding facilities became severely overcrowded as thousands of minors crossed the southern border alone.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was holding 677 unaccompanied children over the weekend, compared to the record 5,767 lone minors the agency had in its custody on March 28, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters on Sunday.
Unaccompanied children were spending an average of 130 hours in Border Patrol custody in March, beyond the three-day legal timeframe the agency has to transfer them to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Mayorkas said unaccompanied minors are now being held in Border Patrol facilities for an average of 20 hours.
"The progress we have made is dramatic," Mayorkas said Sunday.
Nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children entered U.S. border custody in March, an all-time monthly high. The record arrivals quickly overwhelmed the U.S. government's infrastructure to process lone minors. The largest Border Patrol facility for migrant children was at 1,640% capacity in late March, holding more than 3,200 unaccompanied minors in a tent designed for 250 people.

How remiss of her, then, that she's neglected to make this point clear to the rest of the world.

When you appoint someone to be second in command you should do so based on ability and skill not race and gender.
It served Biden well during the election.
The trend has now become where you appoint anyone who isn't white and male to any job because it ticks boxes.
Lets hope that at some time soon Biden's choice will tick boxes.

Absolutely agree.
Biden was given little choice. Plus, she clearly was not a desirable candidate during the debates.
More than 100 Black men urge Biden to pick Black woman as Vice President - CNNPolitics
I have a feeling we will be waiting a while.

It seems that Kamala Harris has been a great choice as VP. There have been no democrats calling for her to be hung the way the Trumpublicans called for the execution of VP Pence.
