Charles Barkley: Republicans, Democrats Stay in Power by Dividing Americans

Charles Barkley is speaking the truth here. This is one of greatest takedowns of the two-party system I've ever heard. Commonsense logic. But a thoughtful observation. It's also courageous. 



Here's the quote:
"Man, I think most white people and Black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart, but I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer.

I truly believe in my heart most white people and Black people are awesome people, but we’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods, we all got money, let’s make the whites and Blacks not like each other, let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other, let’s scramble the middle class.' I truly believe that in my heart.
Charles Barkley

The comments are raising serious questions about the intelligence failures of law enforcement in the lead up to the failed insurrection. Although TheDonald.Win is no longer online, cached versions of the comments were collected in a 145-page report by the nonpartisan research group Advance Democracy. Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI analyst and former Senate investigator, told the Post that the report shows just how central of a role the now-defunct forum played in the attack on Jan. 6. “The website, TheDonald, played a far more central role in the January 6th Capitol insurrection than was previously known,” Jones...

Trump loses bid to have Judge Chutkan recuse herself from his federal trial

 Nice try : D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied former President Donald Trump's demand that she recuse herself from overseeing his criminal trial, reported POLITICO's Kyle Cheney on Wednesday. Trump, who is being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith for his involvement in plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, based his motion on the fact that Judge Chutkan referenced him at the sentencing of January 6 rioters.
