I guess the civil rights groups who said this was voter suppression made the same mistake. Nonetheless, one cannot deter someone from voting, or suppr...

My mistake. I thought “deterring people from voting” meant “voter suppression”. It does mean that in regular parlance but perhaps not in your world.
September 28, 2020 at 22:09
@"Maw" believes you can suppress a vote with Facebook ads, confusing voter suppression with political campaigning.
September 28, 2020 at 20:37
Perhaps that’s true. We cannot know until we read her SC opinions, but she herself claims to be an originalist.
September 28, 2020 at 17:08
Amy Coney Barrett is a so-called “originalist”, meaning she adheres to the original text of the constitution rather than some modern interpretation of...

It’s not a news report. But you’d know that if you watched it.

30+ investigations, an impeachment, the most scrutinized man in modern history. And this is all we’ve found? At what point does this become political ...

We’ve learned he has great accountants. We’ve also learned that they couldn’t drum up any evidence of ties to Russia or paying off stormy Daniels. Not...

I think the only thing wrong is that the very notion of justice threatens their collectivist project, that “treating equals equally and unequals unequ...

That is certainly true of government. Except it is state, local and tribal governments that set their own health policies. The federal government is l...

Amy coney Barrett has been confirmed as the SCOTUS nominee.

My mistake. The university cites the killing of George Floyd in the same statement regarding the renaming to George square. I made a false connection.

Cultural imperialism. While they openly hate America and incite anti-Americanism they gobble its most ridiculous ideologies. The read that a universit...

Like I said, I disagree with all of your spin. I don’t think any of it is true, just like your statement that Trump has never said anything about the ...
September 26, 2020 at 17:21
I think it’s safe to say that if right-wing mobs were parading through cities looting and burning we’d have a national discussion on the topic. Until ...

Leaked memos reveal a murder victim was found in the trunk of Breona Taylor’s rental car back in 2016. I suspect some cops leaked it to discredit the ...

Your spin is not true, or at least born of fantasy. You could name a single racist policy, racist belief, act of racial discrimination, and we could e...
September 25, 2020 at 05:56
You put a lot of effort into your post, but none of it proves to me Trump holds racist beliefs or racially discriminated against others. Worse, it sup...

Perhaps you can name a victim from another race that produced riots and state funerals and massive corporate advertising campaigns. I can watch a vide...

I accept the evidence, just not your conclusions. I do not think we can deduce racism as a cause of death from the mere fact of the skin-colors of tho...
September 24, 2020 at 07:11
Of course there is no need to read Trump’s mind. No one can read a mind. All you have is imagination and fantasy.
September 23, 2020 at 19:47
I cannot be bothered to correct such an absurd claim that excessive force cases are not investigated.
September 23, 2020 at 19:44
Another mind reader. You might as well be reading from tea leaves. Your assumptions are just that, assumptions, and worse born of your own fantasies a...

In the absence of a confession, the only evidence you have of their thoughts is propaganda or projection. So which is it?
September 23, 2020 at 17:39
Police often have to make split-second, life and death decisions. If he feels his or anyone else’s life is in danger, you’re going to get shot. Resist...
September 23, 2020 at 17:11
It does warrant the use of deadly force or shooting when the officer believes his life or the lives of others is at risk. There are legal means to rec...

I am saying resisting arrest is wrong, illegal, dangerous and stupid. Had resisting arrest not occurred people would be alive today.

I think we’ll find disparities between any group—tall vs. Short, fat vs. thin, young vs. old—it’s why medical treatment needs to be tailored to the in...
September 21, 2020 at 17:42
That’s the problem. The mind-state of the doctor or cop cannot be used as evidence. So we cannot know that the doctor treated someone different based ...

My apologies. If consensus keep you sane and disagreement twists your panties, it’s pretty easy to self-curate the information you access these days.
September 21, 2020 at 17:12
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Do you raise the issue with your superiors?
September 21, 2020 at 17:10
How do you survive outside the womb if an opposing opinion causes this much distress?
September 21, 2020 at 16:58
Pseudoscientific, race theories. What could go wrong?
September 21, 2020 at 16:48
You fill American’s heads with fear and nonsense about being killed by police for their skin color, when they are clearly being killed for resisting a...
September 21, 2020 at 16:47
Resisting arrest increases the risk of all involved.
September 21, 2020 at 16:39
Better than critical race theory, witch attracts people such as yourself like flies to shit.
September 21, 2020 at 16:38
Yeah, resisting arrest turns out to be a bad idea 100% of the time. So why do people do it?
September 21, 2020 at 16:36
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Rather than teach people to comply with police, saving lives, they teach them to feel indignant and oppressed, put...

I voted no because I think it would make living less interesting, pleasure less exciting, pain less informative, thus reducing waking life to a soma-i...

I’m under no delusion that Trump could lose. If the polls are any indication (they aren’t), it’s not looking good. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised ...

Right, because a mob of murderous rioters is akin to a global pandemic. No more foolish comparison has been made, except for the similar one about 9/1...

Over a million people die of tuberculosis each year with no peep from the usual suspects, probably because you cannot use it as a political football.

It makes no sense to me to dream up a dystopian future only to feel sorrow or fear in what I just created. I’ll let you know how I feel if your fortun...
