what are you talking about?!? i literally just read a story in christianity today making the identical observation as Obama and quoting Hispanic evangelicals to do it! this observation has been a part of post election coverage for the last three weeks?!?
and there’s no condescension there either, he’s just talking!
this was published in october! tampabay.com/news/florida-p…
this was published in August! washingtonpost.com/religion/2020/…

“Quiet part loud” usually means “forgoing the dogwhistle.” Obama is straightforwardly echoing the words of Hispanic political activists and Hispanic evangelicals themselves. I would be interested to know what is offensive here. christianitytoday.com/news/2020/nove…
they are really running with “obama is an anti-hispanic bigot” because he noted that evangelical Hispanics — a group for whom the Trump campaign invested a lot of resources — are cross-pressured on social issues
even funnier coming from the guy whose website had a “black crime” tag

“the earnest attempt to subvert and overturn the election didn’t pan out so the people who urged vigilance were being hysterical” is the probably going to be conventional wisdom for the professional contrarian set
ah yes, you got me, you are very clever and i am not.
i don’t really know who you are or what your deal is but “the vigilance of people concerned for the health of our democracy” doesn’t mean tweets, it means lawyers and poll workers and advocacy groups and organizers etc.

“America, nobody can serve God and the military; you cannot serve God and money; you cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. America, choose you this day, whom ye will serve.”

This is pretty standard “you can’t serve two masters” stuff.
Clear in context that this isn’t “you can’t serve in the military and serve God” but “you can’t serve militarism and serve God”...which is true!
Interesting though to see whose religious beliefs are fair political game and whose are not.

one way to definitely get another Trump — or just Trump again — is to pretend like he didn’t spend four years doing crimes
hey maybe one problem that needs to be solved is rampant criminality from the president and his family
perhaps one way to appeal to some of those 73 million is to show with evidence and investigations that the man they invested their hopes in was a crook who fleeced them at every opportunity

It is I suppose a great example of the Twitter bubble that no one on here other than wonks seems to know about the $600/week federal unemployment supplement while out in the world that money kept the economy from crashing and almost gave Trump a second term.
I personally know a bunch of people who were clearing more during those months of state + federal unemployment than they did in their working lives up to that point.
Personal income went up and poverty went down this year as a result of pandemic assistance, and as a matter of political fundamentals, income growth in the first half of the year tends to matter most for evaluating an incumbent. Sorry you think the take is shitty though.

looks like we found at least one attempt at fraud
they really wanted to steal this thing
we all know “voter fraud” is just bullshit meant to delegitimize any election republicans don’t win, but i am always a little struck when they outright say it
