> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “My rally in Toledo was huge! A huge success, believe me. They had to turn people away who wanted to see me. Great people there. Looking out at that crowd of white faces made me really proud to be who I am. The lying media will say that not many people turned out. Can you believe that? You can’t trust them. They lie about everything. After the rally, a man came up to me, he was in tears. A big man, really big. And he was in tears. “Sir”, he said to me… “Sir, you’re the only hope for our country.” And you know, I had to agree with him.” Lord, how I wish nobody had corrected him and the tangerine turn actually went to Toledo. ---

Trump and his Republican enablers want to start a race war. I don’t even think they care much about the racism that much - only that a race war is the only path they can see to getting Trump re-elected. And that’s all that matters to them. ---

What did Koch Foods do to piss off Trump? > [@Wikipedia](#): > > **Racial discrimination against farmers** > Koch has been accused of discriminating against black contract farmers and retaliating against those that spoke out. From 2009 to 2015 the company went from having contracts with four black farmers in Mississippi to having none. USDA investigators found “evidence of unjust discrimination” against black farmers by Koch.[2] > > **U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit** > In 2012 the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission brought a class employment discrimination lawsuit against Koch alleging harassment of workers and discrimination based on national origin and race at Koch’s Morton, Mississippi plant.[4] The lawsuit alleged that workers were “subjected to touching and sexually suggestive comments, were hit, were charged money for normal everyday work activities” among other things.[5] > > In 2018 Koch Foods paid $3,750,000 plus other relief to settle the case. [Koch Foods - Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Foods) (founded by a Fred Koch, but not the right one) Joseph Grendys sounds like Trump’s kinda guy. ---

Umm, dropzone, I read your quote and what in those actions would piss off Trump? He’d probably offer the guy suggestions, IMHO. (ETA: But in reading your post closer I think you know that already). And it’ll be interesting to see what effect it has in agriculture production in Mississippi if they have a major exodus of illegal immigrants due to this… ---

What makes this so sick and disgusting have been the news stories that there are children who literally have no parents to go home to. People are volunteering to house and feed them, since nobody thought to account for the needs of the American-born kids of these immigrants. Oh, and I note that something like 300 of the people have been released. Due process? Probable cause? Quaint concepts, I know.
