Quite enjoyable to watch Fleaswatter and Sancho refuse to admit they’re wrong and keep digging the hole they’re in.



See, I don't get that amusement at all. It's destructive and divisive. It goes both ways, it makes people dig in, and it keeps us from going forward together as a country.

I don't get the name calling, the bashing, the war of attrition towards people stepping up with ideas, energy, and passion for our democracy.

I think Kamala Harris was wrong to call out Biden like she did. It was an obvious set-up for her to play the race card and make it personal, when Biden is one of the leaders of civil rights legislation and equality for the last 50 years. What made it really obvious was, as soon as she went into her personal bussing story, they had a picture of her at that age all ready to post on her Instagram. Takes what played as a genuine moment and turns it into a nasty trap.

That world has changed, yes. Largely through the efforts of Biden and people like him. But he worked within the system as it was, and people who were barely children when he was making real change during those days are wrong to take the world as they know it now to be a given.

People forget that people died to make them equal. Just like people died to bring about the 40 hour work week, sick leave, many other things that are now rights (and rightfully so). Short of dying, many people lost their jobs, their positions, got beaten in riots or demonstrations, burned out of their homes, lots of other adverse actions.

Respect. All who step forward into the arena deserve some, just for trying.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

When I was bussed back in the day, technically as far as I know, the school in my neighborhood did not have a no blacks policy. Blacks simply did not live in the local district, and the bussing shipped kids across town to different schools in order facilitate integration..

Now this was likely due to housing discrimination.

When I attended school in NY, it was always Catholic so bussing didn't effect me much. My friends were another story. It seemed like blacks could go to any one of the local high schools while white kids had to go to a specific school unless they could come up with a good enough excuse. As the local schools didn't offer Italian, many kids requested they be permitted to transfer to a school that did.
Fear of their kids being bussed into bad neighborhoods lead to white flight, with white families fleeing to the suburbs. Inevitably, black families moved into these neighborhoods and the previously almost all white schools became primarily minority. The strange thing was the supposed excuse for opposing school integration was to protect property value but the mass flight destroyed value instead.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

And this is exactly why bussing was an awful policy. Still is. Instead of going to their neighborhood school, kids were bussed across town because someone wanted White kids hanging around. Somehow, majority Black schools almost always had more "problems" than the White schools. These were self-made problems, not substandard schools. Usually they were part of the same district.

While bussing alone is not the reason for the decay of many of these neighborhoods, it surely did not help. People do not want their kids sent across town just for some kind of social balance. Once we had a real bad snow storm and kids were stuck in the schools until 8 or 9 PM. Years before they would have either been released to walk home or their parents would have walked to the school to get them. But it was now across the city and not possible. Yeah, Kamala, great program---NOT!

Yeah. Brown liked all her talents.



Harris launched her career, dating Brown when she was 29 and he was 60 in 1994. He appointed her to two state commissions, one of which was the Medical Assistance Commission. Even though she had no medical background.

She accomplished all of that, lying on her back.

An excellent role model for women and girls everywhere.

The ungrateful slut dumped him in 1995 saying “His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next forty years. I do not owe him a thing.”

It will be interesting seeing righties attempt to use this line of criticism against Kamala while constantly defending the pussy-grabber in chief.

If a woman has sex with an older man she is dating she’s a slut, but if a man has unprotected sex with porn stars and playboy models while his wife is at home nursing their newborn son he’s an “alpha male.”

Good luck.

Yawn

At least we start to see who will most likely be next Potus. A strong black female potus brings out the usual truth twisted into lies.

Tanko points out Kamala had no medical background yet ran the "Medical Assistance Program "

The Medical Assistance Program was the states Medicaid welfare system. Qualifications for running welfare payment systems are not about medical knowledge but fraud and economic systems

Its the equivalent of pointing out people who work for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) never made a movie in their lives (they're job is to rate movies, not make em)

Her comments about Brown being alive and kicking are out of context of course. They left out the last sentence of the quote which referred to his corruption scandal. Ie it was more her saying after Brown got caught in his own corruption that he would be alive and kicking still 40 years later.

The fact they dated and there was an age gap is pretty meaningless. Harris has proven with a long track record she is more than capable. If she did have to do anything to jumpstart her career thats more an indictment of the male dominated world at the time than any slight of her ability.

Something tells me the attacks on Kamala by the right are actually going to strengthen her positioning for presidency. The Righties are gonna end up actually being the cause ahe gets elected.

Is there something you lefties like about her other than being female and brown? Because it is telling when that is what you first mention on her qualifications. And you call conservatives the racists?

Sorry buddy. I defend neither of them. I disqualify both of them. The libs who purportedly supposedly allegedly care about these types of issues elected Clinton and now may elect Harris. How she is a candidate the Dems can support is beyond me. There were 19 others with similar views on stage who did not get their starts because they were good at oral sex.

High end stores twenty years ago simply kept minority shoppers out, eliminating shop lifting. Having sex in dressing rooms was a thing in NY back then, similar to the old mile high club. Altmans was a fifty pointer, where sex in Macy's was only worth ten. Luxury box at the Garden was worth 1,000.

Most intrepid trick of the year. Altman's closed in the 1980's.

It seems like the left pushes it as some kind of qualification. Why do you keep bringing it up? It seems to be a qualification in your eyes based on that. For sure the lamestream media thinks it is some kind of qualification.

As to "the righties" I have not seen or heard anyone mention it. We just think she is an unqualified moonbbat loon who got into politics in a less than savory way. Now what we want in a POTUS.

She's not been my primary pick from the start, but if she wins the nomination that won't be enough to disqualify her if she is up against Trump who has a host of disqualifying moral issues among other things. And I can't imagine in that situation and comparison why anyone would do otherwise.

Harris hasn't been accused of multiple instances of sexual assault, or talked about doing it on a recording. Trump is below a prostitute. At least ones who don't assault anyone.

There is anger that illegal immigrants might vote and get health care. Why is there no concern that illegal immigrants might purchase guns? Background checks would seemingly eliminate that

That is the antithesis of the party line:

"Seeking to instill a little balance into the bill, Rep. W. Gregory Steube (R-Fla.) introduced an amendment, the focus of which is easy to understand: It requires that whenever any gun purchase is imminent — whether between private parties, or individuals and licensed firearms dealers, or whomever — a comparison of data is made between the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) database of immigration violators. When there is a match indicating that an alien illegally in the country is attempting to buy a firearm, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would be notified so that the attempted purchaser could be apprehended and prosecuted and/or removed.

Ironically, as Steube notes, the amendment was based on language introduced by two House Democrats, Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who is now chairman of the House Judiciary Committee — yet both of them voted against Steube's amendment.

In fact, the amendment failed when the majority Democrats voted against it, even though the premise of these bills is easy enough to comprehend, and certainly logical. It's already against the law for illegal aliens to purchase or possess firearms (see 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)) so all that the amendment would have done is require the marriage of existing electronic systems to protect the public and prevent the sale of guns to aliens who, in addition to being illegally in the United States, might also be gang members, or drug or weapons traffickers who simply have no prior arrest records, by promptly enabling their identification and apprehension.

This seems like exactly the kind of amendment that both sides of the gun control debate could get behind, right? Well, maybe not. It appears that Democrats, who generally know no boundaries where gun control proposals are concerned, suddenly become cautious about the idea of a government background check that proves itself effective where aliens, even illegal aliens, are concerned. Curious.cis

No doubt consequences will follow.

So if that isnt your beef what is?



Welcome, though I'd watch your questions. I can almost hear everyone groaning for you getting me started on guns =) But I'll keep it simple...

"AWB". You know how certain terms give you immediate reason to disqualify whatever comes after it? Terms like "Those people" or "you choose to..." or things of that nature? How it prefaces their bigotry so you know nothing they say matters? AWB is that. It's proof, which I'll be happy to provide, that the person is acting on personal prejudice and nothing resembling fact. Being an owner of such and holding a policy of "Never kneel", these people are a risk to my health and safety.

Background checks hardly phase me anymore, if only because there's bigger fish to fry. My resistance on those is more one of efficiency and budget - it's a waste of money with no real benefit. And having made >0 straw purchases after stiff legislation "prevented" it, and having 5-0 ignore or bumble the info these policies provide, and the simple fact that people change and a good guy can snap, my opposition is more distaste for idiocy than raging for my rights.

Anyway, my comment was just a throwaway that I prolly shoulda just STFU about. It's way too GD hot to be getting my panties in a knot =p

Yeah, no.

To find this impressive, you have to ignore the disaster Trump has made of all US diplomatic efforts and his two previous failed summits. He dug the trench he took a step towards climbing out of.

It's a relief that they're sort of talking, but you can't go further with it than that. Nothing got accomplished beyond a made-for-the-cameras moment. He just wanted the news cycle, because it's been all about the Democratic debates, and SCOTUS decisions, while he's been posing for pictures in Asia all week.

The only other breakout news for him was the easing of tariff wars with China, which was ANOTHER situation he caused panic and crisis on, then took credit for "fixing ". Really, can't you guys see this? It's a constant pattern.

Not that China is fixed. They found other suppliers for lost American exports that were years in negotiation, and those farmers and exporters are out many billions still.

But Trump got his good press, and welfare for those he screwed, so it's all ok now, right? Right? Lol....

Ok, I get it.
you are ok with:
-China stealing our intellectual property
-China forcing technology transfer
-China's non-tariff barriers to US goods
-China's $419 billion trade imbalance with the US in 2018
-North Korea testing nuclear weapons
-North Korea flying ballistic missiles over Japan
etc. etc, etc

Finally we have a president who is trying to do something about it, not like the previous 8 years with President Odumdum

There is guilt on both sides. Somebody needs to seriously deal with it instead of kicking the can down the road.

You can't seriously suggest that anyone can tell when you're making a joke? Most of the time, you go way out there, someone says, you're kidding, right? And no, turns out you're not. So do forgive a person who's read thousands of your posts, for missing an occasional and unmarked attempt at political humor, won't you?

Both flared up in the early 1990s. China by getting into the WTO, which ended their annual Most Favored Nation review and our leverage. N Korea started flaring when the grandfather Kim died. He was a nut but having founded the country kind of knew he could not push things too far. S Korea was nowhere near the economy it was then that it is now. Can kicking since then.

This is called the "silent aggressions" that conservatives have maintained never existed. But the difference between the MAGA crowd and, say the latino community, is that you can take that stupid hat off any time you want.

If Latinos are getting bullied by liberals then they should stop voting for them. Liberals bully everyone, not going to change their stripes at this point.
