Any more controversial than Obama's connection to Jeremiah Wright?

jeremiah wright is the fucking man

he's only controversial because people were racist and stupid

he was right though

Quote :

"And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America". No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."

rules. we need more voices like his.

What’s even controversial about what you posted? I’m sure there are a few “slaves were happy” idiots but there is literally nothing objectionable about saying we have a history of racism and slaughter (genocide?).

Quote :

"Seven years ago, Ryan, then working at a firm called Berico Technologies, compiled a plan to create a real-time surveillance operation of left-wing groups and labor unions, hoping business lobbyists would pay top dollar to monitor and disrupt the actions of activist groups across the country. At one point, the proposal included the idea to spy on the families of high-profile Democratic activists and plant fake documents with labor unions in a bid to discredit them. The pitch, a joint venture with a now-defunct company called HBGary Federal and the Peter Thiel-backed company Palantir Technologies, however, crumbled in 2011 after it was exposed in a series of news reports."

Quote :

"Ryan is one of several Democrats hoping to challenge freshman Rep. John Faso, R-N.Y., for a seat that is expected to be among the most competitive in the country. The Hudson Valley district contains both staunchly conservative and liberal pockets. Donald Trump won the district by a seven-point margin in 2016, but even when Barack Obama took the district by six points in 2012, Democrats failed to win the congressional seat. Republicans have held the 19th District since it was formed eight years ago. This year, as Democrats anticipate a wave of victories in response to Trump and the GOP’s wildly unpopular agenda, they hope that the 19th District, will finally turn blue. The candidate has the backing of some of the more conservative elements of the Democratic Party. His campaign has won financial support from The New Democrat Coalition PAC, a group that supports business-friendly Democrats for Congress. The PAC is hoping to dramatically expand the number of moderate and conservative-leaning Democrats on Capitol Hill next year and, along with the Blue Dog PAC, is working aggressively to counter more populist and progressive candidates running in Democratic primaries for the midterm elections. Ryan, who served as an Army intelligence officer in Iraq, also won support from Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who has helped raise cash and build political support for a group of veterans and mostly moderate Democrats running for office this year."

^^Feinstein has done more to fight the gun lobby than almost any other democrat in congress. She has served exceptionally and as a California democrat I've loved calling her my senator. I've met her on four occasions (I take my students to DC to lobby our senators and representative every year...only time we didn't get to see her personally was when she was introducing legislation on the day we visited and her office lobby was filled with news crews.

That said, she's older than any senator should be, but that's my only reservation. I'm not surprised she's running again but this will have to be her final lap.

2/27/2018 8:04:20 PM

You're okay with her position on civil liberties? Okay with her resistance to single payer?

Democrats expelled Steve Lebsock (D) from the legislature this week over sexual harassment accusations. To spite them, he switched to the Republican party an hour before the vote, so they would be able to choose his replacement.

Mostly a story of Dems doing a good job, but holy shit what kind of garbage person does this? A serial sexual harasser, I guess.

I flew out of Palm Beach airport on Monday, and as people started getting on the plane the captain said "everyone hurry up and take your seats, the President is landing here in 15 minutes and I don't want to be stuck here during THAT mess."

I'm sure he just meant nothing political by it, just let's not have to take off 45 minutes late when people have connections to catch, but you could immedietly tell which passengers were Trump supporters and which were not.

I've seen Bush be dragged for things she said and her support of her family's bad actions, but not much explicitly blaming her for their policies

Barbara Bush was just as much a hateful bigot as he husband. Sad to lose a figure of American history, but I don't get all the praise she's getting when she didn't do much as first lady. In fact it feels like only every other first lady of the last 40 years has had any real significance (Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan)

Speaking of which, read through some of these quotes from former First Ladies and then look at Melania Trump. It's lolz worthy. http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/

chance has since apologized and rejected trumps appreciation and those headlines have flooded the search results, burying the previous headlines where everyone was angry at chance.

4/28/2018 4:32:09 PM

Lmao that doesn't support your point at all.

The first link talks about all these Cosby defenders but then posts one tweet that doesn't defend Cosby at all. The other 2 don't even mention Cosby. Also first doesn't mention Kanye and Chances tweet certainly isn't shitting on Kanye.

4/28/2018 10:51:05 PM

the links were to catch you up on what happened. there isn't really a point to be supported from the first post. I was just stating what i saw a lot of people retweeting and posting as their status on social media.

^i was saying people were shitting on kanye AND chance. the hate directed at chance was because they thought he was agreeing with/defending kanye
