Average voter: I thought all that Mueller report stuff was finished?
Ds may have dragged their feet too long.
We won't know for another 18 months.

Right, because the lazy ass American people were going to read 400 pages. Mueller should have been on national television 10 minutes after Barr’s summary paper was sent out.
It's not on him. The Democrats fucked up by not calling him to the Hill the minute they found out he submitted his report to Barr.

No. I don't speak German.
Cool. Basically, if we're for it, Russia is against it and vice versa. Our interests are rarely, if ever, aligned. But we can't go to war, so we're reduced to ratfucking and proxy wars.
It's been like this for over 70 years now.

That seems to be what Pompeo is trying to do. Lord knows the media has you trained to do just that.
Do you understand realpolitik or no?

You said the debates will instruct you.
Now that you know I am against reparations, how are you instructed?
(I'm not instructed by your position on this in the slightest. Reparations are a legal issue. They might have been manageable right after emancipation or Jim Crow if we had provided counsel to the victims and allowed them to bring tort or contract actions against the wrong doers. I would think some people might think there is a manageable system, but most won't. I'm not going to give a brownie point to someone who is for reparations or take one away because they are against.)
What's left is a bunch of people being triggered because we don't have a dialogue or a debate. I think putting money to museums and arts counsels and historical societies to preserve the history is important, but I think what is more important it to enact color blind policies that help those who have been the victims of history in education, and criminal rehabilitation.
I'm all for reading Ta Nehisi Coats and having reparations as the subject of the UIL Debate contests. I just don't have faith that people will be instructed by seeing where people stand. You get instructed by reading history.)
It shows me that you don't think this country owes anything to African Americans for the lasting effects of slavery. Most Americans agree with you.

I'm against reparations. Now you know how I stand.
How exactly are you instructed?
I have no problem with the idea of reparations. They are long overdue.

Good thing Donald Trump has a handle on things.
I know I feel better.

I’m surprised no one wants to colonize Venezuela.
We're trying to by proxy. That's the American way.

You start the debate. Tell us who should pay and who should get payment.
I vote for a paying for the administrative costs of your truth and reconciliation commission, although I'd rather put the money to education and rehabilitation.
That's what debate is for. We'll never approve reparations in this country, but debate lets us know where everyone stands.
That is instructive.

Well you go ahead and write a check. 1% of Americans owned slaves I believe. So if ya wanna go after the 1%'ere have at it. Many current citizens of this country didn't have family here until the late 1800's early 1900's. Do they owe black folks anything ?
The US gov't could write a check, to verified children of verified slaves I guess. Other than that when do the Chinese get reparations or the American Indians ?
All questions that should be thoroughly debated.
A truth and reconciliation commission is way overdue. This country has never collectively confronted its long history of racism.

Maybe Goeb did us a favor. Can you imagine the disaster if they gave Marijuana control over to TABC?
I just want to be able to go to the store and buy some edibles and maybe some vape pens.
I can't tell you how jealous of Colorado I am. I have friends who send me pics of their hauls to taunt me.

No it doesn’t. Good grief. Biden is a fucking moron, and seems have a touch of the racism (anyone recall his comments about Obama being “clean” and “articulate”), but nobody today owes anybody anything for what happened 300 years ago. It’s just dumb, like most things we try and convince ourselves are “issues” each election cycle. It’s moronic bullshit meant to deflect the fact that we are in financial peril, and no one has any treasonable idea nor plan to even curb the problem much less actually make a dent in it. There are no votes to be had in actually fixing any real problem, and no brains in our government to make it happen if any of these useless fucks had the balls to even admit they wanted to try.
Bullshit.

We have a three tier system in Texas designed to peddle the most harmful drug in America to the public in a way that maximizes revenue to the state, but we can't decriminalize cannabis and do the same.
God bless Texas.

Anyone who has Joe Biden as their #1 Democratic candidate deserves 4 more years of Trump.
Maybe.
But you should still vote for him if he wins the nomination.

There is just gonna be mountains of this bullshit moving forward. We need to circle the wagons. Biden gives us the best chance to win because reasons.
Joe Biden may very well win the nomination. Every Democratic voter should be prepared for that.
If that happens and they stay home on election day or vote for some third party candidate who has no chance, well, they kind of deserve four more years of Donald Trump.
Vote for the Democrat if you want to beat Trump and encourage everyone else who wants Trump to lose to do the same.

You just quoted less of it than I did. lol
“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ‘60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race.’ I don’t buy that.
“I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather,” he continued at the time. “I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”
Here's the entire interview for those interested.
This attitude is how institutional racism continues to exist in America. It lets white people off the hook.

I thought the fast food feast for Clemson was because the government was shutdown so they couldn’t make use of the normal WH dining services, so they brought in the fast food to show they were “experiencing the hardships of the shutdown like the real folks “.
But the government isn’t shutdown now.
So is serving fast food now his signature thing for championship celebrations?It makes sense when you realize that Donald Trump is white trash.

If you are this cynical why even discuss electoral politics? Only options in your view appear to be resignation to our collective fate or violent direct action.
Because I know the blue team will be in charge again soon. I also know that change is slow and that the blue team is currently made up of wealthy individuals who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This is America, after all, and the business of America is business. I keep voting for the blue team because some of the people on that team are not traditional neo-liberal capitalists. But it's going to take a very long time before capitalism is reined in in this country. The proletariat still believes in the American Dream. That is to the advantage of capital.

It's in the Mueller report. The report literally says so.
