This guy writes for Mother Jones. He biked around DC last night, and has a thread about what it looked like. I don't think it was just the curfew that helped DC.

Does anyone else feel like half the country's trippin on strong acid and demanding that the rest of us see their hallucinations?

Personally, I think avoiding Barr's investigation is what this media-crafted outrage is really all about. I know it sounds like a "conspiracy theory" but it's far less outlandish than accepting this s

This is really so funny. Democrats in the 1860's? Do you think they are the same as Democrats today? Just because the name is the same? 

 

How can anyone make such an argument? Would Nathan Bedford Forest of been an Obama supporter?

The original post dealt with an allegation from 1927.  Back then, Joe Biden and his wife were just a couple crazy kids hanging out at a local speakeasy sipping rye and talking about the jimmy jack future they would have together.

This is only true because there are 6x as many whites as blacks.

 

On a per capita basis more blacks are killed and it's not close.

Would you like to have a discussion on how this statistic is falsely being used? Or do you just not care?

You are living in fantasy land. It makes no difference to me what happens in the urban jungles. They have to figure out their own mess, and they appear to be incapable of solving anything. The only consistent solution adopted in the urban jungles is taxes and welfare. That formula has failed. Why? 

Expand  

 

This solution has failed all over the country in all types of communities.

 

Over the past 40 years, the gap between the rich and poor has grown exponentially and people of all colours have been left behind to live in poverty while the rich get richer. 

 

Decade after decade, tax breaks have been given to the people who need them the least, and trickle down economics has proven to be a colossal sham. 

 

I agree that most cities have major problems. But so do rural communities all over the South and Mid West. 

 

Suggesting this is just an urban problem isn't reality.

The comments on this twitter thread. Oy. People truly think they can block roads, loot buildings, start fires, heck, protest without permits, and there should be no repercussions for them.

I've driven that viaduct MANY times. It's a canyon that bisects the city. Those people are idiots for protesting THERE. There's literally no escape.

Well, you never mention all the jobs that were sent overseas to some of our most trusted friends like China. Were you a supporter of cheaper goods at Walmart while local business suffered and industrial jobs left town? Hey, maybe you are part of the problem. Put your life and money where your mouth is and present a viable solution. You behave like this forum is an extension of protesting in the streets. Try solving a problem first and get back to me.

Yup, the racism used to divide the people is hurting the racists, too. Rural hospitals and social services could be much better. Who got hurt when red states wouldn’t expand Obamacare? Poor whites.

Even the article agrees that it was mainly created by democrats but states it is "unfair" since it was not done by the party itself, but members of the party. Basically it is like arguing the Tea Party is Republican. I consider the Tea Party a Republican thing and the KKK a Dem thing.

Expand  


And today - it IS a Trump thing...

What does the activity, real or imagined, of Donald Trump’s father in 1927 have anything to do with Donal Trump one hundred years later in 2020?  Nothing.

Oh brother! Tell me again how tax breaks for the rich, impact the poor? We’ve already overspent the ‘rich’ people’s taxes by $20 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!  Let me know when you think we’ve gotten to the right number. The goal should be a society where EVERYONE pays a proportionate share. We’ve proven beyond any doubt that redistribution simply doesn’t work. In fact, it makes things way, way worse!
