Do you have any idea how long I have been hearing that same fear-mongering bullshit? Save it for someone who is not comfortable in their skin and needs that affirmation. I was raised better than that.

That's interesting @Brothahorn

I didn't vote for him either time as well. But right now, looking back he's in my opinion the best President in my lifetime. I'm 50 years old.

I reluctantly admit I voted for Trump back in 2016. While I will forever feel shame for enabling that piece of shit, it did open my eyes to what the GOP stands for. Unfortunately, the GOP has realized their days are numbered as a political force and they are fine with embracing a culture of fascism to remain in power.

If Obama could run again, I'd cast my vote for him today.
 

I mean if you had to choose, that's better than voting for Hillary Clinton. Now that definitely would be something shameful. Probably explains why certain posters are so pissy, trying to make up for that embarrassment.

There should be an IQ test to vote, and i'm dead serious about that.

I've said for years that there should be a qualification test to vote.  I was thinking of a 50-question test on the issues and various candidates' platforms.  It would only take an hour, and if you don't know anything about politics or current events, or you don't care enough to spend an hour proving that you do, then you don't get to vote.  We don't let people drive without proving that they're capable, and I don't understand why something as important as electing our leaders isn't treated the same way.

I'll save my rant on breeding licenses for next time......

And yes, I do understand why. Both parties thrive off of dumb, manipulable electorates. But it shouldn't be so.

Immigration as the first point is hysterical. Biden sucks on immigration… because his administration has quietly been very Trump-esque. Maybe he wants the family separation and kids in cages stuff back? Otherwise

Exactly.  But the smooth brained morons believe that since Biden came to office, it is all open borders.

I hate to tell you this, but the time for civil discourse is fucking over.  We tried that.  It has resulted in the GQP stacking the court, trying to make woman second class citizens, trying to eradicate trans people, the demonization of LGBTQ± and immigrants, the worship of the Orange Turd and the gun, and an attempted overthrow of an election. 

Brothahorn came into this thread hot.  He deserves no civility, nor does anyone who supports facism.

Yea, me saying that the R's were going to give Ice Cream Cone 4 more years was really hot. You're the stereotypical progressive cunt who can't stand any differing opinions. Being called an Uncle Tom by an internet clown like you is a badge of honor. 

 

One thing you are right about. There is no time for civil discourse with progressive cunts like you. You bitches are too emotionally wrecked.

On the main topic, it's a very unique situation where we have govt officials cheering on when one of their major employers are facing economic issues, regardless of the source of those economic issues. It shows the natural progression of what Trump did in terms of real-time social commentary. 

"If your company doesn't agree with me, I'm going to burn down your business and employees and do my creepy laugh while it occurs" - Ron

There isn't any indication that Ron or Disney will back down. This feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You hate to see what is occurring, since it impacts real people, but you can't look away.

Holy crap. Are you saying you subscribe to this person’s thesis and you support DeSantis’ education policies?

Yeah, that’s an interesting complaint. Woodson was a “Back to Africa” type who started Black History Month, how does that square with DeSantis?
 

Woodson was also writing about about segregated schools 20 years before Brown, it seems a bit anachronistic to put it here in 2023.

This clown wrote and proudly admitted to two of the most detrimental crime bills in America. They were not just locking up criminals, they were locking up regular black people! Fucking up families! The effects are still being felt today. That's not what the communities asked for at all.

Prior to looking it up today to check on your post, I hadn't bothered to look into the bill beyond the shallow descriptions of the last presidential campaign which your party tried to steal via insurrection. They couldn't even be bothered to vote to impeach the instigator and even today do all they can to thwart legal accountability.

But, the 1994 Crime Bill and what I gleaned today.

The bill included among other things:

  • the Violence Against Women Act,
  • a ban on assault weapons,
  • specialized drug courts to separate criminal activity from addiction which would be handled by social services. 

All good things to me. I gathered the above from factcheck.org  which included this passage:

Quote

The 1994 crime law called for a review of the cocaine sentencing policies by the U.S. Sentencing Commission, which determined that the sentencing gap between crack and powder cocaine was too large — a defendant would need to possess 100 times more powder cocaine than crack to be subject to the same sentence — and that the policies resulted in a racial disparity.

In 2008, Biden said the 100-to-1 ratio was “arbitrary, unnecessary, and unjust,” and acknowledged that legislation he helped draft was “part of the problem that I have been trying to solve since then.”

Our good friends the Republicans thought the bill was too soft and attacked elements that would have, IMHO, garnered better results than more money for the police or harsher sentencing. 

Quote

McConnell said spending in the bill had gone from about $22 billion in the original Senate version to $33 billion in the conference report. He said after-school programs were “a worthwhile expenditure” but objected to spending on a midnight basketball league program, which became a talking point for critics of the bill. (The final bill provided $377 million over five years to states and localities to be used for various education and community prevention efforts, including midnight sports leagues that included job training and other educational aspects.)

Of course, those of us around at the time recall being profoundly impressed with the genuine good-faith political discourse offered by the GOPs. Midnight basketball? That's coddling! (or giving young men something to do.) Such great days for the Grand Old Party. Alas, Willy Horton.

A lot of people thought the bill was a good idea:

Quote

It’s also true that a majority of the Congressional Black Caucus supported the legislation, though then-President Bill Clinton had to meet with the CBC to garner enough votes to get the bill over the finish line. The Baltimore Sun reported on Aug. 18, 1994, that at least three members of the caucus had switched their votes after meeting with Clinton at the White House. Before that meeting, “10 of the 38 black Democrats in the House voted against him when the crime bill, in an embarrassing setback for the administration, failed on a procedural motion. They were protesting the application of the death penalty to 60 more crimes,” the Sun reported. 

Nearly 40 African American religious leaders released a statement supporting the bill, saying: “While we do not agree with every provision in the crime bill, we do believe and emphatically support the bill’s goal to save our communities, and most importantly, our children.” And 10 African American mayors wrote to the chairman of the CBC, Rep. Kweisi Mfume, pledging their support for the bill, even if it lacked a racial justice provision the White House was prepared to give up to get more votes for the legislation. That provision would have allowed defendants to appeal a death sentence by submitting data that suggested a racial bias in death sentencing in a jurisdiction. “We cannot afford to lose the opportunities this bill provides to the people of our cities,” the mayors wrote, according to the Los Angeles Times on July 15, 1994.

Violent crime declined after the bill but there is justified debate as to the impact of the bill on that decline. I recall reading that the main reason for the decrease in crime in general was the maturing of a bulge of young men in the population. (bulge of young men? what am I trying to tell myself with that phrase? hmmm.)

I honestly don't know what the proportion is between good and bad results of the bill as a whole. I can tell that it wasn't imposed on unwilling minority citizens in the name of scaring white people. The Black communities suffered the most from violent crime and supported action. If the policy turned out bad, then a lot of well-meaning people in government and without were at least acting with good intention in the face of the burgeoning police-state trend among the GOP.

I believe you are profoundly misinformed. I don't detect actual dishonesty. That's the best I can say for your string of posts. You do support fascists. You dismiss other persons' arguments as weak while sloganeering yourself.

Are you the guy who appears on the Recruiting Board ballyhooing the Aggies in the late summer then fading quickly away by the end of September? I'll also give you "credit" for consistency of delusion.

Might as well. I'm sure you would prefer the other word but are too cowardly to use it on the internet. Need those internet points, right? That's who you are. Just another chickenshit racist, who only uses minorities to push your bullshit politics. The only white supremacists here are people like you and Biden. You are not nor will you ever be better than me simply because you are white. Sell that bullshit to one of those useless negroes you can goad with fearmongering.

 

Fuck you, right back.

Biden-Robert-Byrd.jpg

Okay. I've reconsidered. You are dishonest. The content of your post is rife with distortion and unsupported assertions about someone else's racism. The picture above is a version of a GOP standard dodge about their own ingrained racism: Rober Byrd!

Maxine Waters on Robert Byrd at his passing:

Quote

Senator Byrd often spoke about his regret over participating in racist and anti-civil rights activities as a young man. I appreciated his willingness to publicly repudiate his membership with the Ku Klux Klan, and later his filibuster of the Civil Rights bill in the Senate. He often referred to his decade as a Klan member as the greatest mistake of his life.

From Reuters:

Quote

In a 2006 CNN interview, Byrd expressed regret for the filibuster and called his time in the Klan the greatest mistake of his life ( here ). In 2005, Byrd commented on his past membership of the Klan in his memoir and in an interview with the Washington Post said, “I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times … and I don’t mind apologizing over and over again. I can’t erase what happened.” 

Of course, there were good and bad people on both sides in Charlottesville. BLM is a violent socialist organization. It's wrong to try to provide some relief to the physiological implications of transgender persons. Women aren't full citizens with rights to make their own choices.

Tolerance is the watchword of the right that you proudly belong to.

Envy of the world.

Negged for lying.

My mother and her family from Mexico used to talk about what it was like growing up in the Rio Grande Valley after emigrating.  So this would then be the 1950's and 1960's.  And how they felt taken for granted by the big Democratic machine down there.  Her older brother and some local business leaders had a radical idea some years later, to plant the flag for the GOP in the RGV.  Years later a young up and comer in politics from San Antonio came down to help.  That man became Congressman Henry Bonilla.  They've been through it all down there from corrupt Democrats to Catholic Nationalists to intra-Hispanic racism to White Republican condescension and everything in between.  

I don't pretend to know what it's been like for a black person and taken for granted, exploited, and literally abused by both parties for centuries.  Alls I know is I read about it, listen about it, and I bet it sucks.  I absolutely do not know what it's like to walk in your shoes and I never will.  I won't even bother with some half-assed attempt.  But I cannot help but wonder how in the ever living fuck TODAY, not in the 50's or the 90's or even a few years ago, you can look---as a black person---at the CURRENT Democratic Party and the CURRENT Republican Party and have anything in your heart except abject horror and fear.  And I'll leave you with this, if you're not convinced yet---that's fine, politics evolve---but you're really not going to like what happens to lots more black people next year.

Ahh, yes, that 1 thing you can think of and then run with it for the rest of your life. If you think Biden is a racist, then you should also (and always) follow it up with "but trump, desantis, haley, 90% of fox news, cruz, ron johnson, 98% of the white radical republicans currently in congress today, well they are ALSO racist but I support them." Why don't you say that too? 

You're telling me not to question your blackness when that's exactly what you're doing to me. Do you have a problem with the radical republican party doing voter suppression in Black areas of the country? Do you have a problem with trump saying that any votes coming out of the city of Philly are fraudulent (Philly being a mostly minority/Black city)? Do you have a problem with how your republican party is treating Harris County? What about the Black woman who got 5 years in prison for mistakenly voting yet those White people who did the same got a slap on the wrist? What about desantis sending felons (mostly Black) back to jail for voting when they were explciitly told they were cleared to vote? What about the Proud Boys (a White Nationalists group) who got told to stand back and stand by by trump? You support that? 

So racist shit comes out of the mouths of the very radical republican party and congresspeople that you support and vote for and you're telling me you're okay with that? You're not going to hold a grudge against them like you do for Biden apparently? 

No sir, I'm not a "soft serve negro" or whatever the fuck term you and Candiace Ownes have decided to call Blacks who actually understand what the racist radical republicans are doing and you're okay with it. If anything, that would be you, Candiace, and  Tim "LET ME LICK YA BOOTS, SUH" Scott. 

I've told this story before--I was almost a republican growing up in Gainesville. I was super close to being a page to the 2000 RNC thanks to one of my friends in high school. Then I had a talk with my grandmother at the time (her prime was in the 60s) and holy shit, that woke me up. But I say that to say this--I don't know what trauma you went through (and byron donalds and others) to become friends with the radical right. Maybe you were told you talked "too White" like I was told by other Blacks? Maybe you liked other extracurriculars that other Blacks didn't typically like like I did (I was an athlete but also did fucking speech and debate and other UIL activities). Maybe you just liked fishing rather than playing the playstation. Whatever it is, that's fine. But to sit there and act like 1 situation from 30 years ago means the current president is a racist AND YOUR PART IS NOT just further lets me know what current Republicans are and always have been--fucking hypocrites. 

Bravo Pancho

Wow quite the action last night. Funny that brothahorn had multiple copy/paste essays on tap for why Biden is racist and trump/desantis are civil rights champions, and less than 10 words to describe the policies he supports. 

Methinks the policies that brothahorn likes ARE the fascist policies. It's a feature, not a bug to him and very fine people that don't usually post in CR but do go on 4chan style raids like @Porterhouse or whatever the fuck Iconos current handle is (that he had to get after expressing his desire to shoot immigrants at the border)
