I'd ask if you're both doing this unintentionally, but you're both being disingenuous as fuck. Also it was Dave Sirota's org, so I don't expect it to be accurately portrayed - gotta get the Twitter hearts.
They did not vote NO on a $15 minimum wage.
They voted no on overriding the Byrd Rule for the wage increase after the Parliamentarian said it doesn't fit in reconciliation.
Totally different votes. But keep out #outraging.
By the way, Sinema said she wants an actual debate and amendment process for the $15 wage and not attaching minimum wage increase to the COVID reconciliation bill. Aka, legislating.
Do you think the Dems will successfully pass a $15 minimum wage sometime in the next 2 years? I don't. Hope I'm wrong.

It certainly is an intriguing idea. One major question is what will be the catalyst that will set it off. No one wants to be the first for fear that people will not follow.
Where I live, the public schools are absolute shit, so like half the city sends kids to private schools. The decrease in kids means decrease in funding, leading to a cycle of poorer and poorer schools. The white and wealthy decry this and all understand that the issue could be fixed if they all just sent their kids to the public schools. But no one wants to be that guinea pig.

Cuomo
in Cloak Room
I think criticism of the media over the Cuomo fawning is more than warranted. It didn't make sense at the time, and it makes less sense now.
On a related note, every time I see the title of this thread I think of this.

I like the sentiment. But I have a question for the lawyers. How hard will it be to find a juror who will vote to acquit regardless? Doesn't the decision to convict have to be unanimous in a federal criminal case? If that's true, we might see a lot of hung juries and a lot of money spent with few convictions.
Can't speak for US Attorneys, but its not uncommon to take a look at a prospective juror's facebook page. And, knowing how MAGA operates, they're all going to have pages festooned in MAGA shit.

So a 16 year old rapes and murders a couple girls and is released from TJJD on his 19th birthday with no criminal conviction on his record?
Not sure you have the votes for that particular reform.
I spent 3 years inside the juvenile justice system including representing 3 kids the state was trying to lock up for the rest of their lives for crimes committed at 15 and 16. California has since ended the practice of "transferring up" kids younger than 15.
Not sure how Texas would do it, but I'm unclear why they would have to be released on their 19th birthday. Here, juvenile jurisdiction for those in DJJ (Juvy prison) ends at age 25. Honestly, the programming and rehabilitation that the kids get for the 7-9 years they are in is so far beyond what adult prisoners receive its not even comparable. They get mentors, they get actual job training and linkage to union jobs upon release, and they receive an actual education with teachers in classroom settings. Not to go to deep into it, but the life stories of the three I represented would bring even the most hardened to tears. These were persons who never had a chance and they had all been severely abused throughout their lifetimes.

How about "racism anywhere, in any form, must be challenged."
If minstrel roots are the definition of blatant racism, shouldn't we be sending enlightened Americans to Cape Town to tell them to end their racist ways? Or are you one of those who willingly ignores racism out of personal convenience.
Chuckie Finster insisting that racism be ignored because he finds doing so more aligned with his "true beliefs."
(See how easy it is to ignore someone's message and instead fly off on some meaningless tangent?)
The subject is much more complex than minstrel=blatant racism. Start trying to look at the subject less superficially.
Slavery today is extremely prevalent around the world. Most people, black or white, don't care about slavery. If they did, they would try to make the world a better place and so something about the problem.
Minstrel culture is accepted as a part of life in South Africa today because of its cultural context. Cultural context. Blacks in South Africa wearing white face can sing EOT, because minstrel celebrations are accepted there, but whites singing EOT in Texas is racist. Think about that.
Yes, you can have minstrel celebrations that are not racist. Depending on the cultural context. Think about that.
Now, help me understand the cultural context of how EOT was developed.
And please site sources. I'll hang up and take my answer off line.

These folks truly believed in the aftermath of what they did they were absolutely immune to any kind of legal recourse that might come their way.
Deez Nuts guy, for example, knows it's illegal to rob a bank. If he did it, he sure as hell would not have bragged about his actions. But walking into the capitol building and doing whatever it was that he did? Why, that's in the Constitution. How dare anyone question what he and others did that day, and if they did, so what?
One more time for the folks in the back...
QuoteConservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

In a shocking development, the woke Twitter mob actually does not have any financial resources. I’m really surprised by this. I assumed these were the most successful and influential people in our community.
Correct. From these emails, it appears the most successful and influential people in our community are racists.

You opened a bottle of the old stuff. Not so much the good stuff, but that stanky old stuff. Smells of whining and dogma.
I never developed a taste for it.
@dcar00 has a point. Obama said that Trayvon Martin could've been his son. Trump spent 4 years calling millions of Americans "traitors" and "enemies of the State."
I can definitely see why the former would bother someone more than the latter. Well, a particular type of person anyway.

This has always been the biggest question for me. I spent a few hours one day researching on the web. I tried to find reliable sources and those with juxtaposed policy positions. What I discovered is that undocumented immigration either has a small benefit, net zero or small cost. It's not huge one way or the other.
I haven't read anything about it, but I do worry about what the long-term effects would be of flooding the country with new poor people via some new guest worker or open borders policy. I'm reliably left of center on social issues, but I also would like to preserve our high standard of living. I would think at some point immigration would reach critical mass and would start overtaxing social services, schools, hospitals, etc. I would also think it would greatly increase the supply of cheap labor, which would lower wages among the poorest people and drive them further into poverty. I worry now about public schools. I have seen in my own neighborhood public school that more than 50% of the kids are Hispanic (and I live in a white-ass neighborhood). I don't know for sure, but I think it's the presence of multifamily housing. I see that doing nothing but increasing here. I'm guessing, but wouldn't a higher ratio of multifamily to single family tend to decrease the property tax base and the source of school funding?
Same as it ever was.

Who's saying stop immigration ? The issue is folks who have no skill sets who only add to welfare rolls, or criminals, traffickers coming in, and we have no idea who they are or where they are. Knowing who's coming into the country is a basic responsibility of gov't.
You can't simply let everyone just come in. That is not a good way for a country to maintain a healthy socio economic state. The cost of raising a family coupled with higher, and higher costs/ taxes/ fees/etc. is also a contributing factor to a decreased population.
We don't take care of our impoverished citizens now, and to just let more, and more (uneducated, unskilled) folks cross the border only makes that task more difficult if not impossible.
How is an ever increasing cost of an increased welfare roll, increased costs for housing, social programs, medical services, schools, to an already poorly run system now not a compelling reason to limit how many folks (who often have no economic self support) come here ?
Releasing citizens before a trial who have SS numbers, drivers licenses, home addresses that can be verified is in no way shape or form similar to releasing a non citizen with no way to keep track of them. Couple that with the fact they fear being kicked out of the country makes for a huge number of those folks simply not showing up for their court dates. There's no way to track them.
Hey, look who's concerned about the budget again.

I am curious if you are aware of any published research on the specific topic. I did a light search and did not find much in the way of quantitative research.
Is there a strong reason why active shooter drills would create more psychological trauma than, say for instance, fire drills?
Just take a look at the Boomers. They were told to hide under their desks as kids because the Communists wanted to drop bombs on them. 55 years later, they're storming the Capitol to stop communism.

Is that the reaction? My reaction is that telling anyone to be less anything race or creed related is pretty offensive. I mean, I think we can all agree that telling a black person to be less black is pretty hairy. Or telling a Muslim to be less Muslim.
Besides that, I don't even know what "less white" is supposed to mean.
Is this like the corporate version of "how come we cant say the 'N' word too?"
