Took her right out of the air, bro! Very dangerous play. The scumbags calling it a "basketball play", defending her and/or whining some tired-@ss b.s. about "racism" should rot.
Too many people think they're going to get a degree, then get a job sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, maybe working from home 1-3 days a week, and making $80,000 a year. Truth? The trades. Plumber, electrician, road construction, etc. Might start at $50,000, but if your good, doesn't take long to move up. Young man I know: Had a baseball scholarship if he wanted it. Also, had a choice. He took the choice. He's now, when he might have been just graduating college............he's instead making $120,000 a year, and moving up.
But, he travels. (and I know many people that spend a week at a time away from home). He/they work in the heat, the cold, etc.

Well that may be - there are plenty of staunch old school Repoublicans who are aggressively anti-Trump. There are plenty of people who couldn't tell you what communism is vs facism that are aggressively anti-Trump.
That said - it's one more example of some idiot - in this case a high profile idiot - saying something dumb and then having "social media" present them as representing one side or the other. And then the muppets that get fed that in their echo chamber spamming the web with it. That's really the issue. But hey. All is fair in love and politics - Spread the S**t - that's what good fanboys do.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Doing the quick math here... with 94% of the vote in, Crowley was up by 1198 votes... then, when the flash drives were "fixed" he increased his lead by another 1194 votes... from a mere 3% of the ballots cast! He doubled his lead!
That's crazy! Especially since he had quit the race in early July and then recently just threw his hat back in the ring. He reentered because "data he had initially relied upon to justify his exit was incorrect".
Then, when he reentered, Mandela Barnes suspended his campaign, he said "it’s become very clear who our nominee is going to be". That was July 30th.
And it was pretty clear: Hong had a 22 point lead!
Those unexpected "late" vote dumps that seem to come out of nowhere!!! It's the Democrats so they may find more votes and still be counting a month from now. Elections are a crap show anymore. Go back to the way they used to be done. Follow real rules!!!

My favorite from that era was when the push to reopen schools was solved by the CDC by arbitrarily changing the social distancing to three feet... and they called it science! 🤣

Republicans continuing to be absolutely stumped by how absentee ballots work will never not be funny. Why bother to understand how a simple process works when you can invent some super complex conspiracy theory instead, right?

Didn't he throw his hat back in the ring because the Lt Gov backed out (it had something to do with campaign finance), which allowed him to secure the outgoing person's blessing?

It's hilarious how they claim that "communists" are taking over the Democrat party and then start some whacko nonsense when one of them loses.
I guess they chose to ignore the fact they admitted a mistake was made and then corrected the mistake. I mean that makes sense, right? A conspiracy theory someone openly admitted to?

Adding the word Democratic to Socialist is the same as putting lip stick on a pig. The pig is still a pig it lays in the mud and still smells. All forms of socialism are pure and simple communism. There is no redeeming qualities of socialism. It all takes freedoms from people and I am not interested. This DSA movement is nothing more than the American and French revolution in reverse. It is sick.
Obviously, as I said, you have no concept between what socialism, communism and a dictator are. The only one acting like a pig here is the one wallowing in the ignorance of not even attempting to understand the difference because he would rather wallow in what he is being spoon fed than to bother to learn anything for himself. It is sick.
Kim Jong Un is the supreme leader of North Korea. He holds absolute power over the country as a totalitarian dictator. He rules with total control through a strict single-party system and a powerful military.
Please at least attempt to learn what you're talking about before continuing to make a fool of yourself. Despite what you think it isn't attractive.

Do you not think that all socialist want his same power. If you say no your more naive than anyone could ever imagine.
I don't go along with that idea in a general sense but if a man hadn't eaten in a couple of days or someone had hungry children I wouldn't try to prosecute them or paint him as a criminal if they were stealing some food. I would actually be willing to pay for it myself.

I can agree with you in that limited example. That said I don't think many face prosecution over stealing a few loafs of bread and pack of salami. If you were the store owner, you probably won't press charges. On the other hand if it was happening a hundred time a week by 100 different people you would get tired of the losses as that adds up to real money. At minimum you would seek to have them trespassed from your store.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

And then we're getting away from the point, and this crackhead's proposal, making theft LEGAL if you need the product.
...and what do Republicans have to say about Trump and the GOPs support for communist NKorea/Kim Jong Un...NOTHING-not a word.
You can spin it that way mac, but the reality is it is more a dart thrown at S Korea over support for N Korea.
Peen..whenever the Repubs spout their claim that Dems are communists, I have to laugh at those who actually believe those lies.
It's actually Trump and his GOP followers who are cozy with the communist countries and the communist dictators ..for example, NKorea/KimJong Un...Russia/Putin...China/Xi Jinping...
After Trump and Israel started their (go it alone) Iran War, they realized that Iran was not the "push over" they envisioned, Trump started asking for help from NATO counties and S.Korea and they refused to get drawn into a War they had nothing to do with. Trumps refusal to participate in S.Korea War Games is a sort of 'pay-back' for S. Korea turning Trump down.
Of course once again he and others keep ignoring trump's own words. I guess wherever they get their news from isn't reporting that to them.................
Trump’s South Korea move rattles foreign policy world
President Trump’s decision to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea is being met with derision from Democrats and fears from other allies who are already worried over the president’s past willingness to toss aside longtime defense commitments.
Trump said it was too late to fully cancel what he called expensive and provocative joint exercises known as Ulchi Freedom Shield but directed the Pentagon to “substantially reduce” the drills on Sunday — just a day before they were set to start.
The war games are a major part of a mutual defense treaty between the U.S. and South Korea, meant to protect Seoul from possible North Korean aggression.
The announcement, made in a Truth Social post, further added insult to injury by excoriating Seoul for refusing to help the U.S. in its war against Iran.
This is not the first time Trump has criticized the exercise. In 2018, he said he was suspending the drills after meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
But in curtailing the planned 10-day war game, Trump risks further alienating vital allies and partners, making the U.S. less safe in the process, analysts say.
Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that “watering down U.S.-South Korea military exercises is a risky move that lowers coalition readiness and puts U.S. forces at risk with no real tangible benefit to the United States.”
He said Trump “does not seem to understand that North Korea is part of the ‘bad guys’ team.”
“North Korea threatens key American allies and trade partners — South Korea and Japan — daily,” he added. “Kim Jong Un is not America’s friend, he cannot be reasoned with, and he won’t give up his nuclear weapons. There is no Nobel Prize in Pyongyang.”
The president has said the exercises come across as unnecessarily hostile toward North Korea and has touted his “very good relationship” with Kim.
“Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea,”[/b] he wrote on social media.
“These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful,” the president added.
Trump noted Seoul’s decision not to get involved with the Iran war.
“While somewhat unrelated, I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’” the president wrote on social media.
On Monday, Trump said he was turned off by South Korea not agreeing to help the U.S. denuclearize Iran even though the U.S. has troops in South Korea to deter aggression from North Korea.
He told reporters he recently spoke on the phone with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and asked if the South Korean leader would give the U.S. “a little hand” with Iran.
“I called him. I said, ‘Would you like to give us a little hand? We don’t need help with Iran, but if you’d like, give us a hand with Iran.’ He said, ‘No thanks.’ And I said, ‘Wait a minute. We have 39,000 soldiers over there, guarding you from Kim Jong Un, your next-door neighbor, and you’re not going to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran. That’s strange,’” Trump told reporters Monday in the Oval Office.
“We can’t go around and protect all of these countries, especially when they’re not there to help us,” he added.
Outside observers said it was obvious Trump was frustrated with the lack of support from key U.S. allies on the Iran front.
“Trump obviously he’s got his mind fixed on Iran right now, and it’s pretty clear that he still holds some frustration toward American partners and allies whom he asked for help and rebuffed him, and South Korea is on that list,” said Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.
Sobolik also said Trump has long held the perspective that South Korea is not doing enough in housing some 28,500 troops on the peninsula — most notably trying in his first term to pull American forces out of the country.
“I think he has locked in this distrust not just of the Koreans but of the value that America being there actually has,” he told The Hill.
That leaves the relationship between the two, “not in a great place,” Sobolik said. “This definitely feeds into preexisting doubt that the Koreans have had about the United States and Trump specifically.”
Lawmakers have also weighed in with their frustration over the scaled back exercises.
“China and Russia are watching how easily this President abandons America’s allies, and they will remember it the next time they test us,” Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Monday.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) called Trump’s decision “shortsighted” and a “mistake.”
“North and South Korea are still technically at war,” Kelly wrote on social media Sunday. “Our ability to help defend our ally against the North Koreans is because our forces are well trained and able to coordinate with the South Koreans.”
“Hollowing out these joint exercises is shortsighted and a mistake,” the Arizona senator added.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) wrote on social media that the reduction “does nothing more than free up thousands of North Korea’s troops to support Putin’s systematic kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder of innocent Ukrainian citizens.”
Dan Blumenthal, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said there is precedent for Trump to look at canceling or scoping down exercises with South Korea “in hopes of making progress on talks with North Korea in his first term, which didn’t … pan out.”
He added: “So … it’s something that is at the front of his mind, you know, on a fairly constant basis when he thinks about the Korean Peninsula.”
Blumenthal also told The Hill the reduction of exercises “hurts us. It hurts the alliance. It hurts deterrence.”
Still, South Korea seems to want to improve relations with North Korea and hopes that Trump has the ability to do that. South Korea’s Lee has pushed for Trump to facilitate direct talks with Kim to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Trump, during his first term, met with Kim three times.
Blumenthal said the way to foster dialogue with Kim is not through reduced exercises.
“We get nothing out of reducing our exercise program with South Korea,” he said, adding that it “certainly will appear like a concession … even if that wasn’t the main purpose behind them in the action.”
Some, though, have called the move to reduce the exercises as strategic.
Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, called it “both a necessary and strategically wise one aligned with U.S. interests.”
“For decades, the Pentagon has argued that U.S. military exercises with South Korea advance several objectives, including deterring aggression by North Korea and China; encouraging regional stability; and preparing U.S. and South Korean soldiers to operate together in a contingency,” she said in a statement. “The reality is that there is little evidence bilateral exercises support any of these aims. In fact, they seem to work in the other direction.”
She added that the exercises “unnecessarily burn U.S. resources and readiness at a time when the United States is running low on both.”
Others have said not to panic just yet, as U.S.-South Korea relations have appeared pretty stable up until this point.
“He had a good meeting with President Lee in Busan in October, and he also agreed to give technology to South Korea to allow them to build nuclear short submarines, so it’s possible that something suddenly changed regarding Iran. But I also think there’s a possibility something is going on behind the scenes that we haven’t seen yet,” said Evan Sankey, policy analyst at the Cato Institute.
“If this were to go so far as to withdraw troops from South Korea, then we’re talking about long- term damage,” he added.
Another treaty agreement trump has broken we can now add to the list. Nobody can trust the word of the U.S. anymore because whether we honor an agreement with them can hinge on a single election.
And trump, in his own words said he likes and doesn't want to upset Kim Jong Un. That Kim Jong Un is.......

You see, sometimes there actually is a middle ground on which to least most people can agree.
Sometimes there is a middle ground even if by the slimmest of margin. Sometimes there isn't. Some things are black and white. Did you pay for the item or did you steal the item? That is an either or question. There is nothing in between. As humans sometimes we can understand the motivations and even be willing to forgive things but in the end either you did steal something or you didn't.
As a very young child a friend and I got on the bread truck and each took a jaw breaker or piece of bubble gum. My mom and the breadman saw our little caper. Yes, in the early 50's the bakery and local dairy would send out trucks in to the neighborhoods to go door to door to sell their products. Moms were almost always at home back then. The breadman was willing to forgive me. I was just a 5 year old kid. He didn't care. My mom sure did. After my friend and I returned from running off after our heist she took me in the house to have that motherly talk about right and wrong, then like a leopard she turned and tanned my ass pretty good.
Funny, I haven't thought about that in a very long time.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
You see, in the first post we were in agreement that if someone had no food and were hungry it's understandable and wouldn't prosecute the thief under those circumstances even though you brought up the merchant and the "after 100 times" example. Now you bring up an example which has nothing at all to do with that. Which I appreciate because it was you yourself who just pointed out that most of the time stealing food or anything else isn't usually a matter of "need" like someone who is hungry. Out of that "100 times" it would be very few people actually stealing food because they had no food and were hungry. I have no idea why you do that.

In a Republican-leaning state, sending an extreme-left candidate only serves to have the state lean a little more to the right when all is said and done.

That's exactly what will happen in state like Florida if that's even possible. As of now according to registered voter information Florida has just slightly less than 1.5 million more registered Republican voters than Democrats. So it isn't just a "Republican-leaning state". In actuality considering those numbers it's pretty much sold red with a few Democrat strongholds which were extremely watered down by redistricting.
The Democrat nominee for Florida governor is David Jolly. He won with an overwhelming 61% of the vote over his other opponents with his closest opponent receiving just 15.1% of the vote. He is a former Republican who actually stated that he is a capitalist that he does not agree with or support the DSA platform.

Tesla got over $3 Billion in grants in the US. Amazon $15 Billion. SpaceX $500M - While receiving $20B+ in contracts from the Govt. Meta - over $2 Billion. Boeing $15+ Billion. Ford and GM - both over $7 Billion.
Compared to:
Zohran Mamdani has proposed a $70 million capital investment plan to fund five municipal grocery stores (one in each borough). Rather than standard cash grants to existing private grocers, the city-backed initiative provides capital fit-outs, waived rent, and property tax exemptions on city-owned sites to private operators who agree to sell core food staples at an average 30% discount.
And then this story of a "POSSIBLE PROPOSAL" ..... EY EY EY.

I didn't say wouldn't. I said probably wouldn't as the owner might not press charges and then the prosecutor might decide to not prosecute. People rob banks and stores because they need the money. I don't think many do it as a form of having fun.
Need doesn't excuse a crime even if you and I understand the motivations, and even if prosecuted not much ever come of it. Nor should it.

It's odd how you never hear them whine about billions going to major corporations. Those corporations too have competitors. But feeding their coffers is something they stay silent about while helping to fund stores so people can actually have accessibility to healthy food in food deserts it late breaking news.
It almost seems they care more about who it is getting the help than the fact they are getting the help. I suppose Musk and Bezos need it more.
But hey, this money is to help the lower class. When that happens it's all some evil socialist plot. I wonder what they call it when more money goes to the billionaires? I've always called it corporate welfare but they've taken offense to that.
Take the Walton family for example. Taxpayers pay food benefits and medical insurance totaling in the billions to cover their employees children while the Walton family is worth 500 billion dollars. And what do we hear about that?
They only call it socialism when it helps the poor or the average working man.

Sooo... you didn't even read the post (again), just felt like flipping your lid and calling people names? 🤣
No. I read the part of the tweet I can see. It's about a city giving financial aid to grocery stores.... The amounts are peanuts compared to the state, local and federal dollars other companies have received. So Vickie Paladino having a little hissy fit is pretty silly. As is reposting it under The Dems Again.... if you disagree, feel free to disagree.

Your comment about the Waltons made me think of a recent soundbite I heard - it was regarding a UK podcaster who has been doing a lot on how the wealthy essentially have everything stacked in their favor. He has been a huge proponent of some form of wealth tax for the super wealthy ... He made a reply to someone asking him about the popular right wing phrase "wealth redistribution" .... his response was that the current system is all about wealth redistribution and he gave very detailed answer about why that is. And for a comparison - the wealthiest 0.01% (1 in 10,000 people) has grown their net wealth by 40% over the last 25 years. That's a proportion of the total global wealth ...
In 2000 - top 0.01% held about 8% of the world's wealth. 2025 it was about 12%. That's wealth redistribution .... just in a direction that's not the same as most commonly thought of.
And I get that no-one wants to reward the grifters and people who cheat the system (other than those that support Trump maybe) - but there is as much financial burden by the many con-artists raking and profiteering and avoiding taxes etc (Madoff, Enron, Bankman...) - as there are at the bottom taking advantage of 'welfare' ... focussing on only one doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. And trying to use the bad apples as a justification of helping the majority also makes no sense to me.

Here, I'll help. The post isn't about "five municipal grocery stores" at all. It's about the city proposing GIVING GRANTS TO ALL THE OTHER STORES so they can play on a level playing field.
Someone is just pointing out the ridiculousness of it all. Why? Because it's utterly ridiculous.
There was no "spamming", no "hate-filled speech", no "hissy fits"... at least not in the tweet or the OP's post.

Almost as absurd. I cracks me up that they all say this with a straight face and think as long as it means any form of "inclusivity and fairness" everyone will just nod along. All those that pay no taxes usually do.
Why was he constantly let free? Because he liked to stab homeless. "Jalloh's prior violent charges had to be dropped or reduced because his victims were often unhoused individuals who could not be located or refused to cooperate as witnesses in court."

You made a post claiming that I hadn't read the tweet .
I just requoted my post and highlighted to show you that the part of the post you THOUGHT I was responding to Memphis with (you even spelled it out) was you not what I thought of as part of Memphis's post ... .
My comment highlighted and bolded in my requote shows me referring to the posted tweet by Memphis "And then this story" - the one Memphis just posted. And then I mention and point out that what Memphis is spamming isn't even a thing yet .. it's something g that MIGHT get proposed.
So, no I didn't make your point for you.

They think posting things that "might happen' means something. While at the same time ignoring far more important and consequential things that are happening by comparing things like that to "blowing your nose". it's become a part of their brand.

Calling this "cherrypicking" means you haven't been keeping up. At all. But it's easier to ignore abject failure with your eyes covered and your elbows in your ears. You do you. 👏
BTW, stabbing someone multiple times and setting them on fire not exactly a garden variety story you'll easily compare to a backwoods "hillbilly". That would have been top news on every channel since the beginning of time until the Dems purchased State TV.
So by cherrypicking a story about an illegal alien committing a crime, what is the point you are trying to make?
MSM sucks? Illegal immigrants are bad?
It's tempting to find a random article about some white hillbilly and just throw that out there as a response.
I think this is just part of the populist politics of the day. Whether in the USA or here in the UK where I am now ... regardless of the actual facts, it's an emotional subject that gets the public riled up when you talk about immigrants and put a spotlight on the crimes they commit & try to take something and make it look more widespread and a bigger thing than it might be.
The populist political "gotcha" is to say that any life lost to an illegal immigrant is one that is preventable or shouldn't happen. It's a proposition that somehow losing your loved one to an illegal who shouldn't be here is more devastating than if you you'd lost your loved one to another type of murder/atrocity ... I'm not sure I agree. Losing anyone you love is tragic. Period. Claiming that it was avoidable because the culprit shouldn't have been there ... I don't buy it. People shouldn't speed, but they do and people die as a consequence sometimes. People shouldn't drink and drive - but they do. And lives are lost as a result each year. etc etc etc .
In the US - the reality is - just looking at CHIILD DEATHS by firearms ... about 4,600 per year. There's about 12,000 deaths per year as a result of drunk drivers. There **might** be 350-360 homicides by illegal immigrants each year ...
The 350+ lives lost to illegal immigrants are tragic. And I don't have a split between illegal immigrants taking other immigrants lives vs US citizens - and it doesn't matter. But the disproportionate attention and airplay on SM of this issue is the same modus operandi as the attention the Trans community gets. And essentially it's down to populist politics - create hate and an emotional response rather than a rationale nuanced review of things.

Where you are wrong is it is not hate for the illegal immigrant, it is actual love of our laws. America is a land of immigrants, and we want people to come here the right way. Legal way. If someone comes here illegally breaking our laws, they have already shown they have no respect for our country, our laws, our way of life and then commit crimes like rape and murder and those heinous crimes are very much avoidable. If us citizens actual hate, we hate our laws being broken. Society will collapse if everyone breaks laws.
As for Trans. Those people need help and not encouraged. They are sexual deviants that need to seek medical help. No hate. In reality love is telling people the hard truths. Acceptance is not love. If a child is running with a knife in their hands and we accept that behavior, we are not showing love to the child. Why, because we know that the child could hurt themselves with that knife. So, in love we correct that behavior. Accepting Trans is allowing people to hurt themselves. As children we should not allow that. As adults that is their right if they choose to hurt themselves. Acceptance just adds approval to them hurting themselves.
You love laws until they don't line up with your religion. Then you want to change them. Just because people aren't like you in their sexual or gender identity does not make them mentally ill or deviants. Stop with your superiority complex. When one of them tries to "convert you or force you to believe like they do", you know, the way you want laws to force everyone to live according to your religious beliefs, let me know.
What you are attempting to do is tell other parents how to raise their children and make those decisions for them when you have no right to do so.
You know this means I love you because I'm telling you the hard truth.

All immigrants, both legal and illegal, are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born Americans. The 2024 native-born American incarceration rate of 1,195 per 100,000 natives is the highest of the three groups analyzed. Legal immigrants have the lowest incarceration rate, at 303 per 100,000 legal immigrants in 2024. Illegal immigrants have an incarceration rate of 674 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, higher than legal immigrants but also lower than native-born Americans.
I'll add my own caveat that I believe the illegal immigrant rate to be affected by under-reporting, so go ahead and add that asterisk to that number if you agree, but I do NOT believe that it affects the overall point that illegal immigrants are a large source of the violent crime in the US.
From that, if the point is to address violent crime in America then I don't understand the fixation on the group that does the least of amount of it. Google AI is telling me that there are roughly 1500-1800 stabbing deaths per year.

Sweet. Thanks for posting that. I hadn't already seen it 39 times.
Quick question... do you think we can fairly predict the Browns record this year based on their results from 2010-2024? Would that be a good metric?
You just #cherrypicked a paragraph from your study. A study that CLEARLY shows that illegal immigrants are rising above all other "categories" for committing crimes since 2022. That's probably not important though, since it was only the middle of 10 million crossing the border unchecked, right?
So, from that standpoint, the entire argument falls flat. Just like I don't care that Colt McCoy had 6 TD passes in 2010, I also don't care about some thinktank that has a "methodology" that reads like a TOS for a subprime mortgage.
Also, that dude above, with 175 police encounters, 30 arrests, multiple stabbings? With the "methodology" used by your fancy thinktank, that counts as ONE CRIME because they're only counting incarcerations... and it would be zero if he hadn't killed someone... because nobody in that area was ever going to lock him up for anything less.
1. You just cherry picked data. . . just from a different source. 2. You've quietly shifted the goal posts from violent crime to "incarcerations" ... and ICE detentions are included in these CATO numbers. If you remove ICE detentions the number drops from 674 to 356 per 10,000. (per ChatGPT)
So if you are debating the actual likelihood of violent offenses being committed by the various subgroups (as your chart shows them) - then your graph is meaningless. If however the goal is to simply try to frame the debate so illegal immigrants look worse - then it's a useful tool.
Of course - you can simply say they are illegal immigrants ... case closed end of discussion. But that didn't seem to be the approach you were taking.

Rockefeller set prices low to run others out of business. Just showing that it works both ways, and setting low prices is the common way to run competition out of business. You don't raise prices if you seek to close some doors or make them ripe for takeover. You peg the price lower.
Governments use price supports, but that goes to an entire industry such as dairy farmers to support the price of milk to make sure there is a supply. Running stores is entirely different.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
How is it "entirely different"? Do you think people from Manhattan are suddenly going to flock to the ghetto to do their grocery shopping to save a little money?
I find it hilarious that people are throwing such a fit because people in poor neighborhoods are being provided with grocery stores that the free market wasn't providing them. If the free market was providing these grocery stores New York wouldn't have to. It's not like New York is building grocery stores right next to Publix and Whole Foods and running them out of business. But I get it. For some people business is more important than people.

You were saying? Yes, Gary, Indiana which has been without electric for almost two weeks now is a coincidence.
Flint, Michigan who found their water lines were poisoned with lead in 2014 just finished replacing all of those pipes last month is just another coincidence.
At what point do you begin to stop trying to make it sound like all of these things are nothing but coincidences and admit there's a problem here?
Let me guess. Never.

I think they were provided at one time. They closed because of crime and a lack of people who could hold a job. If the business had been making money, they wouldn't have closed.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
And thus the need for people to have a method to have healthy food in their neighborhood. Some people search for why a problem is there even when they are trying so hard to blame the people with BS like this, "a lack of people who could hold a job". Others look for solutions to those problems.

Man arrested after guillotine is found in pickup truck near Capitol
Capitol Police said investigators were looking into why the 35-year-old suspect from California was in Washington.
U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday arrested a man who they say was carrying a guillotine in the bed of a pickup truck.
Philan-Tam-Duy Le of Julian, California, was arrested on suspicion of “carrying a dangerous weapon” and being in possession of the guillotine, Capitol Police said in a news release.
Police said Le, 35, drove to Washington from California.
“USCP investigators are going through the suspect’s background to learn more about why he came to Washington,” police said in their news release.
Le’s truck was spotted near the Capitol and the Supreme Court, where officers say it was illegally parked.
Congress is in recess, meaning lawmakers are in their home districts, not in Washington.
An Instagram account that appeared to belong to Le included a Story on Tuesday afternoon featuring a video of a man with the guillotine outside FBI headquarters in Washington.
“Outside the FBI building, just eating some cheese pizza,” the man says in the video. The post included the caption “Guillotine adventures” and said, “Capital hill next.”
Capitol Police often make arrests beyond the Capitol grounds, and those incidents are not necessarily politically motivated.
First, was it an assault guillotine? Because I heard a rumor you can decapitate over 100 people in a matter of seconds with one of those things not that it makes any difference.
And secondly he should have had a sign on it saying "Decapitate Mike Pence" and everything would have been fine. Having something like that on the capital grounds has been show to be acceptable behavior in the past.

Is this guy running for office as a Democrat or for the DSA??
No? Then really pointless posting in The Dems Again thread ...or is this another example of posting one idiot and trying to imply they represent 45% of the voters?

Political Activities
Endorsements: Smollett and other cast members from the TV show Empire appeared in a 2016 video campaign ad endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Left-Leaning Alignment: He has frequently expressed progressive viewpoints and received strong backing from prominent Democratic figures during his 2019 hate-crime hoax controversy, though his party registration status remains private or unlisted in public voting records.
That's beside the obvious point... there's only one party running around calling everything right down to white rice racist.
Sure there are. Would you like to name them? It seems everything that's really going on within the power structure of this administration is irrelevant to you. It's really quite sad. Real time global and national events mean nothing to you but silly nonsense means everything to you. They say ignorance is bliss and when you have the time maybe you can let me know if that's true.

Idiot actors represent Democrats as much as idiot ICE members (as in the other thread) - this idea that spamming the web with anecdotal actions and statements of the worst of our society represent all liberals or all republicans or all trump fanboys is silly. I've said it dozens of times - these "gotcha" SM posts that try to represent one idiot as representing an entire political party and it's voters is DUMB. In fact it's more than dumb - it plays straight into the hands of those countries that sponsor and pay for that sort of fake narrative to be used and spread by useful idiots that take what they get in their SM echo chamber and spam it across multiple other platforms. Doesn't matter if it's left or right leaning nonsense ... the result is the same, unthinking people drive a wedge and divide the country even more.
I've also said that one side claiming the other side has more whackos or idiots is similarly false and silly. There's idiots everywhere, of all political parties, straight, gay, black and whit and every shade of color in between.
You only have to look at how these posts are spammed - without dialogue, without attempt at discussion or rebuttal or common sense. It is hate and division no matter what anyone wants to say.
Meanwhile the POTUS is renaming bodies of water and somehow that's not conversation worthy.

I'm not sure a one entire party is doing that - I think some of the people who are "left" or "liberal" might be doing that ... And there is only one party that is supported overwhelmingly by racists and white supremacists. Great.
White Privilege is real. The history of slavery and the Jim Crow era is real.... and recent (2 generations) .... so I can understand some of the people who might be tempted to use the race card too much. I don't understand how anyone would be racist or try to defend racists.
