I shouldn’t say that, a simple na-na-nana-na for do.
The pharmacy I use just employed a Muslim girl. She speaks perfect english, likely born here.
Anyway she wears a hijab.
She’s pleasant enough but it just galls me.
When I see she is going to wait on me I reach in my shirt and pull my crucifix cross out of my shirt and have it displayed prominently.
If I have to be reminded of her religion, she can be reminded of mine.

This isn't hard to explain, the problem in the black community regarding so many out of wedlock kids isn't due to the majority of black men, it is due to the serial sperm donors who have 7 kids with 7 different women.
Do the math, if there are 10 black dads, 7 of them have an average of 2 kids each, that means the other 21 belong to 3 men, who probably can't spend much time with their kids.

Of course more black baby-daddies help their bastard kids with their homework.
They gotta teach them how to throw a proper gang sign.
They gotta teach them how to wear their pants down around their ankles.
They gotta teach them how to shoot a handgun sideways.
They gotta teach them the proper procedure for a drive-by.
They gotta teach them how to beat a single white man or woman to death with no more than five other blacks to help them.
They gotta teach them the proper handling and sales technique for crack, heroin, meth, and all their other civically responsible products.
They all have to be taught how to be proper THUGS (don’t they)?

Whether he used the slur or not, the substance of his alleged remarks are factually true. No rational person would deny that all else being equal, a random immigrant from Norway is going to make a more positive contribution to the US than one from Haiti, El Salvador, or Chad. The Norwegian will probably have some education and skills, English fluency, and is orders of magnitude less likely to be a criminal or some other sort of trouble-maker.

And, by the way, your post is racist. Everyone knows that the politically correct punctuation is to capitalize Black and lower case white. By lower casing black, you look as racist as that coin that kept the colored boy --oops, make that 'boy of color' -- from carrying the flag at the Olympics.

Dawwwwww , a PJ O'Rourke tagline. What happened to him, anyway?
Rhetorical question perhaps, but I assume still writing. Sadly, fell off a loving cliff as far as being funny goes.
Last of his books I read was 2010's "Don't Vote : It just encourages the bastards" and I just had to look that name up because it was an entirely forgettable boring piece of crap that was a chore to get through.
I'm probably miles from being the most left leaning guy in this thread, but this is coming from a guy that was as solidly bleeding heart in college in the early 90s. Rourke's "Parliament of Whores" and "Give War a Chance" made me laugh my rear end off back then. Right leaning or not - he was a great writer. I kept up with reading his books over the years, but it was a slow decline from those two as far as I'm concerned. That "Don't Vote" book was just the final straw I guess.

Read the memo Trump put out and it puts an odd spin on this whole thing.
Basically Trump instructed ATF to complete the process they already had going since December to re-evaluate bump stocks legality.
In other words, Trump spent a lot of time telling the BATFE to continue doing this thing they are already doing.
It still wasn’t smart, but it’s also a head scratcher. Smoke screen from DJT? Maybe, maybe not. Like I said, I’ll reserve judgment until later. If he has turned on this issue, however, it’ll sink him.

Well, when a person uses a pressure cooker to make a bomb, the focus is on that person.
When a person uses a truck as a weapon the focus is on that person.
Actions are taken such as concrete barriers to stop truck bombs. Something that might actually help with safety.
When a person uses a gun, the focus is on the gun, and actions are proposed or taken that have nothing to do with making anyone safer.
These incidents create emotional reactions - not logic. Clear thinking is needed, but the LSM just beats the propaganda drums of “get rid of guns”.
I have yet to hear one media report discussing the fact that a lot of the medications prescribed to troubled kids causes suicidal/homicidal mania, and hearing voices. Nor do they discuss the fact that gun free zones are just a target waiting for a shooter.
In the 50s all the guys came to school with guns in a gun rack. We didn’t have all these shootings. Why is that? Maybe we had a better culture. Maybe we didn’t give kids powerful mind altering drugs? Is there a connection with terrorists (Hezbollah is active in S. Florida with drug trade tied to VP of Venezuela).
This kid spoke of “professional” shooter. That implies money. Some of his pictures showed him in a hat and covering his face - emulating ELN (has Hezbollah members in S. America).
These mass shootings don’t usually end in trials. The shooter is either dead, or takes a plea. No court case, and no evidence for the nosy public to see or hear about-just the official narrative that the gun grabbers want us to hear.
Seems to me the question of guns is irrelevant. The real question is Why are kids doing this so often now? Why do we continue to have such “soft” targets/gun free zones that people can just saunter into?

Don’t like those terms? Don’t agree to them and don’t use the service.
The Jews refusing to listen to Hitler's speeches on the radio did not address the problem that developed as a result of other people listening to Hitler's speeches on the radio.
Yes, it's an extreme example, but it is a relevant one. Saying "don't use the service" does nothing to address this "service" being used to whip up hatred of our side in the manner Hitler whipped up the hatred of the Jews.
To say "don't use the service" is ignoring the very real problem of these "services" manipulating the public to vote or act as they are led, with no one being able to speak reason to them.
It is not a critical necessity for our form of government in any way what-so-ever.
It is currently about the only means by which Trump has been able to communicate the abuses of power of the deep state to the American People. The Left monopolized broadcasting media certainly won't report any of the nefarious doings of their party, and Trump is getting past them through the use of Twitter.
If you are saying it "ought not be" a critical necessity for our form of government, about this I would say you are right, but in our present circumstances, it is very much an essential part of the correct functioning of our government.

Step 1: Twitter purges bots
Step 2: Somehow, mystically and magically, some controversial figures lose a shitload of followers.
I haven't read the thread yet, but is *anyone* admitting "well, maybe some of his followers were 'bots"?

It appears they are removing bots and AI sites. Some people are having to prove they are human and then are returned to the site.
If so this is a good thing. Conservatives sites are seeing the most action because nobody in their right mind would program an artificial intelligence or spam team to target a liberal. They are them.

Horseshoe theory at work: freeper wants to nationalize Twitter:
quote:
Twitter should be regulated. The governor of Hawaii recently went to Twitter to notify citizens of a false alarm, it’s also used for Amber Alerts. So are Trump supporters now not entitled for this information based solely on their politics? Could the telephone company do the same? Cable wifi? Not a chance, and given how we use social platforms today this shouldn’t stand either.

More blatant sucking up, and a reminder that JimRob and family keep the servers somewhere off-site, so when the site goes down they post these hardscrabble tales of how "welp, we had to hop in the truck and drive down to the server site, kick 'em a few times, but that's the price we pay for not letting The Liberals have control of our servers." How much does JR pay his IT-expert son-in-law annually to run this circus again?

Everyone who berates the Robinsons for not migrating to a cloud based system such as Amazon’s must see this as the answer. If you don’t own and run your own servers, you can count on the encroaching censorship by left or right owners of internet systems to take you down.

Censorship in other countries: dissenters are abducted by the government in the night.
Censorship in America: people keep saying I'm an rear end in a top hat for some reason.

Leftists are in control of the social media sites, and are getting off enforcing leftist speech codes, while the government sits by helpless. We do not have freedom of speech in this country. Haven’t had it for 30-40 years.

From the people who screeched with rage at Net Neutrality:
quote: I think I am suggesting that we find a means to stop them from censoring our side. I don't have any particular ideas about how to do this, but a suggestion I have heard is to designate them a "common carrier" and use government regulation to force them to carry all traffic.
In other words, fine them for censorship.
Force them to serve everyone who sits at their lunch counter.

I am still seriously convinced that a goodly 20%+ of conservative opposition to Net Neutrality is that it has (quite possibly deliberately) been conflated with the Fairness Doctrine.
From 1949–1987 the Fairness Doctrine required that holders of broadcast licenses (who basically have government-endorsed control over limited airwaves) have to present controversial topics in a honest and even-handed manner. It didn't require a literal "both sides are equal", it just required some semblance of providing counterpoints or covering other points of view.
The hilarious thing is that conservatives find the FD anathema, but then they complain that all the media is left-wing, and recently that all the social media is left wing. If they truly believed their side was right, maybe they'd admit that FD might actually favor them in that situation?

You have a lot of good points in this thread. I’m not quite there yet but you do make good points on this type of communication.
I’m just wondering where are the investors in these companies? It’s pretty obvious these CEO’s are out to hurt conservatives, which self-identify as conservatives 2-1 over those who self-identify as liberal or so I’ve read in the past.
I thought Sarbanes-Oxley was supposed to protect the investors from CEO’s making bad decisions such as these. There are twice as many conservatives out there than liberals so that would be definitely hurting their companies by having these type of policies. Are they just good at hiding this from their investors or should we start looking at Sarbanes-Oxley to reel in some of these insane CEO’s?

...should've sent a poet...
I didn't know what Steemit is, which could be either because I'm old and out of touch, or because I'm not an rear end in a top hat lunatic. So I looked it up, and ironically 14 words in is when you see the first red flag:
quote:Steemit is a blogging and social networking website on top of the Steem blockchain database. The Steem blockchain produces Steem and Steem Dollars which are magic bean tokens users obtain for posting, ...
Though to their credit, this is the truest thing I've ever seen a blockchainer admit:
