I'm pretty sure his constant, childlike insults about John McCain probably made a difference as well. If he could have stopped stepping on his own dick for five minutes, he'd have been re-elected by now.
I do agree that his criminal justice reform efforts will lead to reduced numbers of incarcerated, although it is wholly at odds with his public calls to execute the innocent and exonerated Central Park Jogger suspects. You do see how it might be difficult to take anything he says at face value? That being said, the DNC/DLC cabal are also collaborators in the wholesale incarceration of much of the black male population in the U.S.
You don't know how it would have run through the Senate. Obviously the $500 Billion would be over years, not a lump sum. And it wasn't just "for black people", it was for injecting money into blighted neighborhoods, into Black run businesses... I think it's laughable that you think Donald Trump wants black people to be poor, hungry, involved in violence upon each other, unemployed... Everything in his DNA is about wanting success, about building a business, being independent successes... You think he wouldn't love to help build black businesses up?... Where maybe even perhaps, he could invest in one day? He doesn't hate black people, (like you hate him), he really loves BP, especially black men who are about it, you know? I really think you need to see a therapist about your visceral reaction to this. To wanting to cut your nose to spite your face. You clearly would be happy if he never provides this money just so you can say, "see??". It's a sickness with you.
Yes, they didn't commit the rape that day they "were wilding" in Central Park, however during that time, the degree of injuries sustained upon this woman, the brutality of the rape leaving her for dead -- remember that those teens confessed that they were responsible for it.. Everyone was horrified at the crime. You know, he was not the only person that wanted them dead, executed. (In fact, had that happened to my mother sister or daughter I would have wanted to kill them myself). Crime was out of control in New York City at that time. People were fed up. I do find it interesting how you haven't denounced Biden for his Jungle and Predator labeling of Black people and wanting to put them away for life, which he did. No denouncing from you that he canoodled with a KKK Leader, lunched with segregationists, cried at their funerals, gave eulogies. He stands behind the D, so you give him a pass for his racism. It's very hypocritical.
Wrong. You must not have read the part of the post where I condemned DNC/DLC complicity with mass incarceration. Clinton, Biden and others were chief among them. They are just as lousy. I’m no Democrat, though I might portray one on TV. And as for the CP teens, he has refused to apologize or retract those statements even after they were exonerated.
Why y'all continue to argue with her, I have no idea. She's literally willing to cape for a wannabe dictator and you really think reality and facts are gonna change her mind? You can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into. It's a lost cause and it always has been.
That's because they're straight up racist, and they have to cherry pick things in order to pretend that they really aren't racist.
Maybe, but it's only worthwhile when the person you're engaging with is doing so in actual good faith. If they aren't it's a waste. Hell, I should know because that was me once, and it feels good to smack down someone who is obviously wrong. That shit gets addictive. But like nearly all addictions, it ends up not even being worth it in the end.
I engage from time to time for others who may read this stuff later. Plant seeds for trees you'll never sit in the shade of
If the people reading it are sane and rational, they won't need it explained to them in the first place. On the other hand, if they're actively at war with reality because they choose to operate under "alternative facts?" Fuck 'em. Let their asses stay ignorant.
I enjoy "discussions" with Bliss because as a person who has some conservative leanings, reading her far-right rants helps me sharpen my own ideologies. She's like sandpaper helping me smooth out the rough edges of my political stance. Of course, when she goes all "Pepe Silvia" on the political threads I check out.
Reasoned, well-thought conservative arguments? Yeah I could see that. But the conspiracy-laden, tinfoil hat Qanon type bullshit not so much. And there is a lot more of the latter than there is the former.
I hear you, the sad thing is that it didn't use to be this extreme, there used to be somewhat civil discussions between different political ideologies on this board.
I wonder if I missed those days? I would have loved that shit lol. I'm way left of center but I think the world needs principled conservatism that's based in reality.
Indeed, l did read where you called the DNC "collaborators" in incarcerating BM. Thats not really condemning them. Democrat or not, you most likely voted for the racist Biden.
Link? Proof? Did he testify that Trump told him to? Or it that just your stupid CNN conspiracy. Show me.
