This mob violently entered Congress chanting things like hang Mike Pence with the specific goal of stopping certification of the election.

Sure, not everyone is equal when it came to the crimes they committed but there was a lot of violence, on officers specifically.

Some people just trespassed. Others like several oath keepers and proud boys planned their actions in advance and are still threats.

400 people can be construed as a mob .. ok .. I will roll with that … violently entered .. what I saw was a cop waving his hand to enter them in .. in the beginning stage .. violence did take place at entering through the door of building .. the yelling of threats of violence .. that did happen .. I heard it ..

the difference is … a lady stuck her head through .. what appeared to be a 18” x18” square in the wall … and got her brains blown out .. all the while .. people can violently enter stores .. breaking out glass .. kicking doors down .. steal merchandise .. and the charges get dropped on them … the law is the law … as I said .. we are very off from equality ..

What does this say?

It is literally from one page back.

It says exactly what I said it did. How is this not blatantly racist?

I can't believe anyone thinks it is socially acceptable to post something like this.

I owe you an apology .. I am sorry .. it’s my bad and I take responsibility for it .. yes .. that is a straight out racist meme .. i had thought it said what I posted in my last post ..

The people who can't cope with the reality that their unpopular dear leader got beat in a landslide, still whining about non-existent election fraud months later...telling others to cope.

Slinging mud makes a happy camper? Is everything with you politically motivated. Is this just the media talking points making an appearance or is this the limit of your critical thinking ability?
Conservatives are only interested in truth and fairness and there is plenty of wrong with elections and current administration's policies.

Remember this one time when you actually said something truthful here? You should frame it for posterity

You know politics aside, I think the vast majority of people on all sides think the system is basically rigged against ordinary people.

The rich powerful people make the rules. Congress is subservient to them.

They live by a different set of laws, get better opportunities, inside information. The decks are stacked in a way where they can't lose.

When the Fed essentially bailed out rich people with trillions of dollars, they got almost all the gains.

They socialized the losses putting debt on future generations, then privatized the gains that only benefited the vast minority of people.

BLM is basically saying "black lives matter (as well)" not "black lives matter (more)".

If you want to post statistics, that is fine. That can lead to an actual discussion on the underlying causes and potential solutions.

But something like "white lives matter more" is a pretty fucking bad premise for a meme. That belief is what lead to slavery, 3/5 of a person, oppression, etc. It is not funny.

What I said is as true now as when I said it months ago. In fact making sure the rich pay their fair share is a very popular policy pretty much across the board.

I agree 1000% .. the words Black Lives Matter are beautiful … the people who founded the organization are not good .. they did awesome with the founding name … they dishonored it with their actions..

c'mon man No one is racists here unless you cheer on CRT. This is just a meme meant to highlight and expose hypocritical leftist ideology trying to further destroy and subdue what little of middle class remaining in America. The meme is a reality check against the CRT ideology and BLM and any other form identity politics and culture wars the left is cooking up.

But some might not understand the current political climate in America and some operatives will jump on anything to virtue signal rather than offer solutions and oppose racism (CRT) in education, workplace, economic policies, etc...

You really defending "White Lives Matter More"?...Pathetic.

Anyone who believes any race is superior, or matters more, is racist by definition.

People cheat. There have been cheating scandals across the board in every party, region, gay/straight, etc.

I don't really care if they are consenting adults.

However, it is still valid to point out the hypocrisy in people doing it, especially people who preach "family values" as if they are morally superior.

Brad

I dont' ever remember Trump preaching "family values" but if you compare his children to Biden's it's hands down Trump was the better father.

Trump gave his kids a lot of advantages but they all had to work for a living. Biden's kids sucked the gov teat their entire lives.

"All lives matter” - Philonise Floyd

And which ones matter "more"? Is it just white ones?

Brad

BLM is a con and does nothing to improve black lives.

That is bullshit. Their actions speak louder than words.

Tell an antifa or blm thug all lives matter and you'll be assaulted.

Democrats are racist by definition. Democrats are the neo-racist of today preaching marxist ideology, separating people by race, encouraging segregation.

Wake up.

 

[rh2000]

Brad

To the Elites none of you matter.

Yes, the meme was racist.

Missing the grater meaning of the post but that is ok.
Making the rich pay is an empty talking point/distraction to focus on the bogeyman and don't pay attention to the actual policies and results being created.

Enlighten us how you propose the make sure the rich pay their share? Are you saying there is corruption or you just want to tax the productive aspect of economy until it doesn't function?

The actual rich create policy and laws, fund politicians, promote leftist ideologies, etc. and you think now that dems are in power you will see higher standard of living? Are you getting your talking points ready for WEF great reset too?

Sure, right off the bat there should be a proper AMT, one that you can't use accounting shenanigans to avoid.

Billionaires should not be paying sub 5% effective tax rates. You don't even need to raise rates, you just need to enforce the existing ones.

The IRS needs to go after the people who blatantly abuse the system, not be auditing ordinary workers for taking some minor deduction or exemption.

The wealth disparity is reaching unsustainable levels.

I agree the rich make the rules. The politicians on both sides are sponsored. I don't expect much to change. They should be forced to wear Nascar like suits with their sponsorships on them.

Maybe political and media talking points are amusing to some but not if one is seeking workable long term economic solutions. Wish you had the guts to look beyond the leftist programming and took interest in economics.

Like most of the ordinary people, I'm against cronyism, monopolizm (might have invented that word) and favoritism and any type of gov enabled corruption, but "taxing the rich" as a solution is a non starter when it comes to economic policy. The rich are not a sustainable source of revenue and ultra rich will only use such policies to further erode the middle class and stifle competition.

Remember how you spoke out against a Biden administration relief bill to only black farmers? Me neither. You think you will be scoring virtue points off a meme? Meme is humor, just because you don't get the context doesn't make anyone racist, just makes you disingenuous or unable to understand and reason.

Pelosi was behind it and knew about it all along. Her son-in-law was the one who stood on the sidewalk to the front Capitol steps waving everybody to come on in.
