No President has a good second term, so why do you think Trump will?

Again, "Kid", I'm old enough to remember people spouting the "Make them welfare people work" talking point in the 1970's. It never happens. Do you want to know why it never happens?

Because there isn't an HR department in the world that thinks your best qualification is "The Welfare Agency made me sign up!"
Work programs exist today: From CBO.gov
Most work supports increase employment and income. Subsidized child care, for instance, benefits single parents (its main recipients) by boosting their employment and increasing their resources substantially. Parents who find employment benefit from higher earnings, and those who would have purchase

Now, I agree, our schools do a TERRIBLE job at preparing kids for the working world.
Agreed.
Which costs money to instill in people. You guys don't want to spend that kind of money. Get real.
I think you're prematurely oversimplifying why it can't. There are plenty of people that would rather the U.S. spend money domestically, rather than support and commit to billions of dollars to foreign countries. We can do better, I don't know how exactly, but we can do better so I won't say it can't happen by simply saying no one wants to pay for it.
Awesome, whatever that is. ARe you going to spend the money to teach it? Especially since your boy wants to disband the Department of Education.
Countries spend money on what they feel is important. What has to happen is to champion the culture change in this company instead of saying that the poor are poor because of the rich, the whities, etc., instead of looking at personal choices that directly affect one's own personal success.
Um... okay, I can see that now. Let's appoint a bunch of bureaucrats to make sure that they aren't spending their money on new kicks!!! That'll make them want to go out and pick vegetables, to be sure!!!
It doesn't have to come from bureaucrats. It can actually start at home. Unfortunately, when the poor class only see poor habits, they will repeat them. It starts at home, it starts with good parenting. We can support it with good financial education when it makes sense.
I'm sure we do. Greed is a worse sin than sloth, however.
Funny you use a very 'religious' phrase but rail against religious nuts continuously. Former catholic?
 
Doubling down on what made you lose.

We LOVE to see it

Okay, weren't you the one whining two years ago when Dems did well in the midterms and hoping the whole country would burn down for not loving Jesus as much as you do?

The electorate is fickle. When Trump fails to deliver on his promises and makes the economy worse, I would not want to be a Republican office holder anywhere but the reddest of red states.

If Trump were smart, he'd reach across the aisle and find consensus.

Instead, he's trolling even his own party by appointing people who are completely unfit for office.

Ah, but here's the problem.

The minute the hit a certain threshold, the aid cuts out.

So you can make $2000 a month plus $800 in SNAP and $1000 in Section 8 and you get an Obamacare subsidy. But the minute you go above that, wham... they pull all those benefits back.

I got a very nasty tax bill last year after I got married because before she got on my insurance, my wife was getting an O-care subsidy for her very minimum-wage job at the time. But GOTCHA, the minute we got married, her income was added to my nearly six-figure income, and the IRS wanted back all the subsidy money she had gotten for the time before we were married. (I probably could have beaten the system by getting married in January, but no one told me that was a thing.)

As much as you guys whine about single parents and marriage, maybe you need to change how much the system actually punishes working people for, you know, getting married.

Actually, foreign aid is a huge US jobs program. In fact, it's kind of a scam. We give these countries loan guarantees with the stipulation that they have to buy American goods, and then we also get interest on the loans. We actually come out ahead. Foreign Aid is just more corporate welfare for the rich.


Countries spend money on what they feel is important. What has to happen is to champion the culture change in this company instead of saying that the poor are poor because of the rich, the whities, etc., instead of looking at personal choices that directly affect one's own personal success.

I love it when you pretend that 400 years of institutionalized racism doesn't have an effect.

Come on, man, get real. You wouldn't want to be a black person in this country and you know it.



It doesn't have to come from bureaucrats. It can actually start at home. Unfortunately, when the poor class only see poor habits, they will repeat them. It starts at home, it starts with good parenting. We can support it with good financial education when it makes sense.

I agree. So when are you going to stop giving tax cuts to billionaires to fund education?

Funny you use a very 'religious' phrase but rail against religious nuts continuously. Former catholic?
You already know that I am. I've discussed it enough times.

I freely admit that I am burdened with a Catholic Ethics system, even though I haven't been to church in decades and think most religions are a little silly.

Or maybe, you do some research before you filed. Again, blame the system and not the person. You could have tried to file separately and see how that worked out too.

This is simply not true and a vast oversimplification.

More rhetoric. The Rich, and I don't know why the narrative is only Billionaires, pay a lot in taxes, but the left likes to focus on "Income" tax as the measurement of what is paid. This narrative is an old, worn out hat that the left thinks is still fashionable but should be put in the closet or given away. But keep wearing it.
You already know that I am. I've discussed it enough times.
Not sure I did

A life lived, buddy. Between my day job and my resume business and my rental property, I've made six figures for the last two years. This year might be different because I unloaded the rental property.

Or maybe, you do some research before you filed. Again, blame the system and not the person. You could have tried to file separately and see how that worked out too.

My tax guy said that wouldn't have helped. I was pointing out the share stupidity of expecting people to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" when you then slap them around when they do.


This is simply not true and a vast oversimplification.

Actually, it's totally accurate. Who do you think is getting most of that Ukraine Aid? American military contractors.

Name one thing a black person can't do today that a white person can do?

Drive through my neighborhood at 11 PM, to start with, without the cops pulling them over.

1% of the population has 41% of the wealth.... if you want to, oh, I don't know, not run up Trillion dollar deficits every year, that should be the first place you look.

My solution would be to confiscate everything the Billionaire class has and then harvest them for transplant organs, but that would be a little harsh.

So what you're saying is you have made good personal and financial choices that have put you in the place you are? Despite what happened 2008, you have been able to recover to a point (to which point I don't care). But the point is, if there was better education on how to finances, how to make and earn money, investments, etc, those opportunities exist for everyone.
My tax guy said that wouldn't have helped. I was pointing out the share stupidity of expecting people to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" when you then slap them around when they do.
I don't slap anyone. Why do you continue to bundle everyone into the same box because they have potentially different opinions from you?
Actually, it's totally accurate. Who do you think is getting most of that Ukraine Aid? American military contractors.
No, it's not accurate. One example of foreign aid does not speak to all the billions of foreign aid we provide. A quick research can shed the light on foreign aid.

It's not like that wealth is in some box, locked up in fort knox that we have no access too. The same opportunities that they have taken advantage of (and let's assume legally and ethically so you don't jump down some speculative path) is available for you, me, and everyone else to go and grab a share of it. But many on your side want to paint a villainous picture, when we should be asking "how", how did they get to this point, and let's educate people on how some of the principles can be applied generally across the board.

I also had the privilege of being born in a white, middle-class family, which gave me advantages people of color don't have.

I don't slap anyone. Why do you continue to bundle everyone into the same box because they have potentially different opinions from you?

Because you look at the evil shit that other Republicans are doing, and you don't say shit. Which means you either agree with it or you are fine with it as long as it doesn't happen to you.

No, it's not accurate. One example of foreign aid does not speak to all the billions of foreign aid we provide. A quick research can shed the light on foreign aid.

Well, first, the US is very stingy in foreign aid compared to other countries.
The biggest recipient in foreign aid we have is Israel, which really doesn't need it except to buy weapons from us. Those Palestinian Babies aren't going to murder themselves!!!


The Senate has passed a $95 billion supplemental national security spending bill, with the majority of funds intended to provide military support for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan and humanitarian aid for civilians affected by those conflicts. While those opposed to backing Ukraine—such as Sen. Rand Paul—argue that such aid puts “Ukraine first and America last,” most of the package invests in backfilling U.S. weapons stocks and rebuilding parts of America’s defense industrial base.

Far from being a “blank check” to foreign countries, $73 billion, or 77 percent, of the supplemental funding is domestically invested, with $59 billion going directly to U.S. defense companies—and their workers. The $24 billion in funding that does leave the United States largely consists of humanitarian aid and the cost of various operations shouldered by the U.S military. The Department of Defense receives the lion share of funding at $67 billion (70 percent), but other federal agencies—including the Departments of Energy, Homeland Security, State, and Health and Human Services—receive billions for national security initiatives.

Yes, it does happen every day, and that's the problem. A black friend of mine joked once that on a long road trip, he has to calculate how many "DWB"s he'll be pulled over for.

It's not like that wealth is in some box, locked up in fort knox that we have no access too.

Wow, you are delusional, aren't you? In fact, America has LESS upward mobility than any other country, not more. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.
 
I've made good choices.
I also had the privilege of being born in a white, middle-class family, which gave me advantages people of color don't have.
How was your life different than the black man? you continue to insult them. who the fk are you to insult every black in the world? You think them inferior to you. They didn't ask you for anything but to be treated equal and you don't. You minimize their existence. you're just a shit.

Guy, this is why I have you on ignore... you just say absurd shit.

My life was different in that my dad had a good job, we lived in a nice neighborhood where there wasn't crime, I got the chance to go to good schools.

In short, black folks mostly didn't have these opportunities.

Depends on which lens your looking through. Mobility is one's ability and opportunity to increase wealth and move through the financial tiers. Read a left leaning article, and it's all about systemic racism and the advantages of being white. Read a right leaning article and they focus on the same data, but the opportunities are still there for anyone to take advantage of. It all depends on if you want it or not. Most agree that wealth is earned during the younger ages and wanes as one gets older. But again, it's all about personal choice. My one child is in their mid 20's and at her age is making double what I was making at the same age. She has made much better choices. Why, because she has a family to guide her and keep her from making bad choices. She's gonna be set for life and her mobility is still full of growth.

You are just a stubborn, narcissistic troll who can't see value in anything, others opinions, nothing.
 
I was born to two idiots who cared more about drugs and being irresponsible. Yet, I have made a pretty good damn life for myself.

I don't discuss other people's families, so I will leave that one alone.

Not at all. When Democrats do something stupid, but well-intentioned, I call them on it. They really don't do anything evil, unlike the GOP.

Palestinians can blame Hamas for picking the fight you nearsighted dullard. Did you wear your Queer for Palestine shirt when you typed that?

Un, no, guy, the fight was started when they dumped the Jews of Europe in Palestine and took their land, you nearsighted dullard.

Islamic Fundamentalism is a reaction to Western imperialism.

Now, that said, you have to be mindful of how the Jewish Media manipulates the narrative in this country. (Not the rest of the world, they see Israel for what it is.) I'm old enough to remember back in the 1970's that the Jew Media had us all convinced the PLO were a bunch of dirty, stinking, Godless Commies!!! Now we stopped being afraid of Commies and started being afraid of Muslim Fundies (when we should be afraid of Christian Fundies), and the Jewish Media has us all convinced that Hamas are radicals like Al Qaeda or the Taliban. (they aren't.)

They drive through my neighborhood everyday. Don't get pulled over. So again. What can a black man or woman do today that a white man or woman can?

So you are moving from Justification to denial?


According to data released recently by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Black drivers in Illinois were 1.7 times more likely to be stopped by police than white drivers in 2022. Latino drivers are significantly more likely to be stopped than white drivers in many jurisdictions.

Depends on which lens your looking through. Mobility is one's ability and opportunity to increase wealth and move through the financial tiers. Read a left leaning article, and it's all about systemic racism and the advantages of being white.

Nope, Wrong again.


  • Intergenerational economic upward mobility has declined since the 1940s and is now largely unattainable for many low-income families. This downward trend is attributed to decreased economic growth and disparate distribution of that growth across economic classes.
  • Declining economic mobility hits some demographics harder than others. Both geography and race impact the ability of those living in poverty to achieve upward mobility.
  • Decline in economic mobility is influenced by multiple factors, including household income, education and training, employment opportunities, neighborhood and social capital.
  • Factors associated with downward or stagnant economic mobility are linked to high rates of toxic stress. Children living in poverty are more likely to have prolonged exposure to significant traumatic events resulting in negative health and well-being outcomes.
  • Upward economic mobility generally requires a solid financial footing from which to build. This footing begins with ensuring households have enough financial cushion to meet unexpected costs.

Decline of the American Middle Class.

The American Middle class has been in decline since the 1970's. About the same Time Republicans figured out they could get stupid white people to vote against their own economic interests by playing on their racial, religious and sexual fears.

So you are moving from Justification to denial?
Nope, it's a simple question that you and all the other race baiters avoid. Someone getting pulled over is usually getting pulled over because of a traffic violation first and foremost, not because they are black. Typical straw man fallacy.

The question in principle is asking is there a systemic law or legislation that exists today that prevents a black american from doing something that a white American can do? You won't answer it honestly and deflect from the intent of the question.

The opportunities exist today for anyone that wants to go chase it. If you don't want to be in poverty, make a personal change in your life. Period. But the data and the stats don't want to talk about those choices. All they want to focus on is the data, but rarely and or accurately talk about the 'why'.
 
Like using rhetoric, hyperbole, conjecture, sensationalism, or propaganda?
I wish. Frankly, it's kind of the opposite. The Mainstream Media spent a lot of time normalizing and "sane-washing" Trump. A foul-mouthed, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, etc. But hey, this is all normal, amiright?

I don't expect them to be guys who run specifically to avoid prosecution because they have so many criminal counts against them. Do you think his behavior is going to be better this time around? He's gotten away with it all so far, and he always has the option of pardoning himself now.

Final point. No, I don't expect him to be perfect, but whey you call yourself the "Party of Family Values" and try to regulate what kind of sex people can have and what kind of family planning they use, I do expect your guy to make the bare minimum.

What do you think of Bill Clinton?

Not much and not often.

At the time, being a stupid, deluded Republican, I yelled from the rafters, "Impeach him".

Now, a couple of points. The relationships he had were consensual, and the women who accused him of misconduct all have some pretty serious credibility issues.

But all that said, I think Democrats SHOULD have compelled him to resign after we found out about Lewinsky. in fact, today's Democrats wouldn't tolerate that, given how they forced the resignations of Al Franken and Andrew Cuomo for far less.

Still not answering the question and using strawman. Good for you that at least you're consistent.

Drive through a white neighborhood without being harrassed by police.
Easily get a job. (Resumes with black names are 50% more likely to be rejected than resumes with white names. But I'm sure you'll blame black people for having black names.)
Get a loan.
Get picked up by a cab.
Get good service at a restaurant.

Nope. More conjecture and speculation.

The whole claim the EUROPEAN Jews have to Palestine is based on the Bible. There's no actual evidence they ever lived there. In fact, they originated in Eastern Europe.

So can you make a NON-Biblical historical claim for the EUROPEAN Jews to own Palestine?

The reality is that Zionism is a White, European, Colonial movement. Today, we realize that this was wrong. Most of the Colonized world has reverted to home rule.

To be fair, I think separating the "Bible" from the "Tanakh" is a distinction that needs to be made. The Tanakh has been widely regarded as historically accurate when understanding the history of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. And in an effort to be fair, do not discredit the history of the jewish people stated in the Tanakh by arguing weather creation, the flood story, and other stories that are easily understood to be metaphor by many scholars.

I don't know how you can claim the Jews never lived in 'Palestine' when historical and archeological evidence says otherwise. You do know what the wailing wall is, right? The retaining wall that held the second temple that was built around 500 BC and then destroyed by Rome around 70 CE.

I think your disdain for "christianity" or religion compels your bias to dismiss long standing historical evidence.

The burden of proof is on you on this.

History of Palestine from the UN:

There is absolute hypocrisy coming from the right, especially the religious, national zealots that somehow, every 4 years equate the GOP candidate to god's chosen. Give me a break. .

It's not hypocrisy; it's the GOP marshaling fear.

Blacks who choose to work can get a job, every day.

But they have a harder time of it. They did a test in 2005, where they sent out thousands of resumes with identical qualifications. Half of them had "white" names like Emily and Greg, and half of them had black names like Jamal and LaKeisha. Emily and Greg got twice as many call backs

Those that qualify for loans; meaning they have the financial capacity to do so and meet the lenders requirements, get loans. This is completely an individual case by case decision. There are no laws against blacks from obtaining a loan.

I don't know if you are really this naive or just disingenuous.


Are there laws that allow cab companies and drivers to not pick up black passengers, if so please provide?

Why should something need a law to be a common practice?

And in an effort to be fair, do not discredit the history of the jewish people stated in the Tanakh by arguing weather creation, the flood story, and other stories that are easily understood to be metaphor by many scholars.

Except "Scholars" only came to the "Metaphor" conclusion in the last century or so, when Science proved that these silly stories were impossible. Up until the 19th Century, everyone thought Adam and Eve were real people, the Flood really happened, and so on.

Now that science has debunked much of the Bible, we should really take the rest of it with a grain of salt before we blindly support a genocidal, apartheid state.

I don't know how you can claim the Jews never lived in 'Palestine' when historical and archeological evidence says otherwise. You do know what the wailing wall is, right? The retaining wall that held the second temple that was built around 500 BC and then destroyed by Rome around 70 CE.

Well,not exactly. The temple complex was built by Herod the Great, who, by the way, was not a Jew, he was an Edomite. The Judeans/Israelites were just one of many people who inhabited Palestine. The fact that some Europeans later adopted their religion does not give them a claim greater than the people who have lived their for the last 1000 years.

I think your disdain for "christianity" or religion compels your bias to dismiss long standing historical evidence.

Or that we view the history through a Christian lens with confirmation bias. In that Wiki list you provided, I don't see any mention of David or Solomon or Moses or Abraham being historically attested to by non-Bible sources.
