  1. Now you know how I feel about you savage beasts eating meat and dairy. But you’re right. I made some mistakes in my life but I definitely made a few really good decisions too, none better than the decision to not have children!!!!
  2. I dunno. If a white kid goes into your city and buys heroin then gets pulled over on his way home out of the city, they will usually get hit with possession of heroin. if a black kid does the same exact thing, they will get hit with possession with intent to distribute AND trafficking heroin, which is a total game-changer.
  3. This is often the case but what you’ll notice is that cops oftentimes stack charges on blacks and multiple charges will stick when whites can usually plea down to 1 or 2 charges, or get a felony knocked down to a misdemeanor, etc.
  4. You’re supposed to mix and match. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2021/6/28/study-mix-match-method-boosts-immune-response-of-astrazeneca-jab?taid=60da2dcdfdc7d30001f5362b&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter&__twitter_impression=true
  5. You’re assuming for some weird reason that I am attacking Trump for his Covid spending when I am not doing that. I supported the spending bills. “And, if you cannot see the difference between a near unanimous passage of a massive $4T relief bill passed during a once in a century pandemic and a $6T "infrastructure" bill shoved through with a budget reconciliation measure and without a single republican vote ...then there is really no need to continue this discussion.” Tell us what the difference is. Was the money spent or not? Debt spending is now only recorded depending on who supported it and the particular crisis involved? Every president faces a crisis that they didn’t ask for and that’s usually when the spending occurs. Why are you trying to pretend that we’re supposed to put Covid spending in it’s own separate column?
  6. What did DeSantis know and when did he know it? NEW: Pres. Biden believes "there should be an investigation" into Florida building collapse.
  7. But Chef told me I would need 17 booster shots each year until I die.
  8. You said that adding Covid spending to Trump’s term isn’t intellectually honest. Why? We have almost 8 trillion added to the debt and Trump had the third-biggest primary deficit growth, 5.2% of GDP, behind only George W. Bush (11.7%.) Are you disputing those numbers?
  9. I wasn’t making any argument. I simply stated what Trump’s spending was during his term. I don’t care about spending. You appear to be the one to care about spending. Then you tried to pretend that Covid spending somehow didn’t count when Trump was president and the GOP controlled the Senate, which is false.
  10. Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president. https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump You’re talking about deficit spending and we’re talking about debt spending.
  11. Key Takeaways During his campaign in 2016, President Trump promised to eliminate the national debt in eight years. Instead, it was projected that he would add at least $8.3 trillion. In October 2020, the national debt reached a new high of $27 trillion, an increase of almost 36% since President Trump took office in 2017.
  12. But Covid did hit during Trump’s term. Are we supposed to erase all of Obama’s spending too because he inherited an economy in free-fall?
  13. You can start here. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-tax-code-helps-white-people-get-richer/ar-BB1fRrMx
  14. Oh no. He upset Donald. That’s not good. DeSantis ‘very wary’ of upsetting Trump. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/28/desantis-trump-gop-election-496367
  15. Can you point to the part in the article that says all of the people no longer on unemployment now have jobs? I can’t seem to find it. Maybe half of them? 2/3? 2/5? Cutting off unemployment benefits early is not pushing people to find work, data suggests. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/23/ending-unemployment-benefits-early-may-not-be-having-desired-effect.html
  16. Trump added 12 trillion to the debt, but it will be this infrastructure bill that puts us in danger? Nope.
  17. Many have said that the total is much higher, so it will be viewed much worse. It doesn’t matter if people had health issues, they still died of Covid. Trump’s legacy won’t improve over time mostly because he didn’t pass any meaningful legislation. There won’t be anything to point to as a success story 30 years from now. The guy never did anything. He started out bad, never grew into the job like most do, and ended worse. It was a total disaster. He also became very isolated in the job due to his bad performance, inability to hire and surround himself with good people, and lost touch with the American people, and reality in general. I can’t think of anyone that served in that administration that will be viewed favorably or go on to do great things. He started out with backups, and ended up with the practice squad. Maybe Christopher Wray? None come to mind. The only one that escaped with their career still intact was Nikki Haley. The rest will never come near any future WH administration ever again. He was also impeached twice, involved in multiple scandals, and lost in a landslide as an incumbent, which is pretty rare. He never broke 50 percent approval. You could argue that he didn’t even have 1 good full week during his term. He’s got a real shot at being viewed as the worst president in history. The history books certainly won’t be kind to him. Uncle Joe is the opposite. His legacy will improve over the years similar to Lyndon B. Johnson, barring some catastrophic event occurrence.
  18. Ok. 461,000 dead Americans then. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2021/02/11/trumps-policies-resulted-in-the-unnecessary-deaths-of-hundreds-of-thousands-of-americans-lancet-report/?sh=418c67ee77e8
  19. We finally started doing our family tree the other day. Some good, some not so good. My ancestors were mostly Jews and were clock/watch makers. If you knew my family you’d laugh at that. Of course they did!!!! My gf’s was the Governor of Hartford and purchased/stole land from the Indians which is now Guilford, Ct. We have that transaction in writing. Not a great deal for that tribe. That guy and his wife gave birth to the FIRST white son in the New Haven/Guilford area. We aren’t sure yet if they owned slaves after that. His name was William Leete. He basically ran and owned the entire coast of Ct. They were attacked by the Brits in the Revolutionary war but their militia fought them off. That area is now called Leete’s Island. Her grandparents always joked about ancestors coming over on the Mayflower. I guess they weren’t kidding! Another descendant was in the 39th infantry from NJ and was there when Robert E. Lee’s army surrendered Pretty interesting stuff.
