I tried today to read some of the Right's stuff. Wow! Why do you guys talk to them every day, its exhausting reading people who don't know the truth or won't tell the truth. Or people with racial or sexual bias that are out of line.
Trying to wrap my mind around how otherwise highly functioning people can be so f**ked up is not only exhausting, but mentally taxing. I admire the tenacity of the 'flintstone five'... because unlike the other Victory forum where people just said, "F**k it, they're a lost cause" and stopped arguing with these idiots, the guys here have 'endeavored to persevere' (extra points if you can identify where that quote came from).

Right and you leftists still can't decide on how many genders there are. Too funny.

If you only had a brain...

Leaked footage of Floyd's arrest showing him mentally unstable and resisting arrest. Not being cooperative at all. He was saying one thing but doing another. I guess that's what fentanyl and meth will do to the brain among other things to the body. Someone says he had 3 times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system so yeah; a heart attack while resisting the cops sounds right. He freakin' killed himself. Suicide by cop in a different way.

I just watched it. Wow want a different story this tells. The Flintstone 5 are still in denial! brahahahaha.

How did Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump earn as much as £120m last year? | Jared Kushner | The Guardian

Let's start with Kushner's stake in Cadre, an online property broker, which is worth between $25m and $50m. "Cadre is going to make us billionaires," the boy wonder announced to colleagues when he co-founded the company with his brother in 2014. It certainly seems to be doing well: the Guardian reported last year that Cadre had received $90m in foreign funding, funnelled through secretive offshore companies, since 2017. However, Kushner was so busy making peace in the Middle East that apparently he forgot about Cadre and only belatedly added his stake in the company to his disclosure form.

It is still not clear how involved he is with the company. At the beginning of the year, it was reported that Kushner had divested from the startup after scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest. Then, last month, it was reported that he had put his plans to divest on hold; in the meantime, Cadre has promised not to seek out foreign investors. Just trust them on this, guys! Nothing to see here.

Another item on Kushner's financial report is the $1m-$5m he received from a company called Bergel 715 Associates last year. The New York Times has dug into Bergel 715's dealings and discovered that Rosemary Vrablic, a Deutsche Bank employee, and two colleagues bought a $1.5m apartment from the company in 2013.

This is notable because Vrablic is a longtime personal banker of Donald Trump and Kushner; the pair had received $190m in loans from Deutsche Bank at the time. Banks tend to restrict employees from personal dealings with clients because of potential conflicts of interest and Deutsche Bank has opened an internal review into the purchase of the property. Who wants to bet that the outcome of this will be some form of "nothing to see here"?

Keep your day job. Your "analysis" abilities is hysterical.
So, you missed it then.
I expected that.
In order to buy into a theory of proportions, one must assume all things are equal. In this case, race. It is clear that you don't see the races as equal and that is why you find the idea that 13% of the population should get 13% of good paying jobs and conversely, only make up 13% of the population in prison.

I believe that all races are equal. Not the same, but equal.
If we can't agree on this, we are just wasting time with further discussion on this topic. Let's move on.

Donald Trump killed this man with misinformation. We knew in April that African Americans over 60 with history of cancer and /or other co-morbidities have greater chance of dying of COVID. (Like a 45 times greater than a 40 year old white man.) Cain fit the profile for 40% of the population that has died of COVID. The health Officials begged Trump not to have the Rally in Tulsa because they were in the middle of a massive outbreak. Not only did Trump go forward with the rally, but he did not tell his "friend " to sit this one out because it was too dangerous. Watch the video. This man was energized for Trump. He even bragged that he went to the rally. You can see on his face he had no idea he would test positive 9 days later, go into the hospital 3 days after that, and die 22 days after that.
The guy was on a Ventilator for 22 days and Trump does not mention if or at least offer thoughts and prayers?!?

Yeah, some friend.

You're going down the math 'proportions" road? Haven't you learned enough that math isn't in your skill set. You want to play "proportions"???? Why is the NBA 90% black when they are only 13% of the population.? If I don't see races are equal can you explain this inequity? Who can the white people sue over this?

You missed the time when Trump asked for Russia's help with the election
...then he asked China...
then just lately some ambassador to a foreign nation asked for them to help Donnie with the election too; all after when he was asked point blank if he would like to see the dirt on a political opponent he didn't say No - that would be wrong and illegal - he said "yes". "I think I would take it".

Trump's True Betrayal: A Pattern of Soliciting Foreign Interference in US Elections

Trump asked China to help win 2020 U.S. election, offered 'favours to dictators': Bolton

'I think I'd take it': In exclusive interview, Trump says he would listen if foreigners offered dirt on opponents

the most Marxist - Communist government on the planet that trump rails on ... he asked them ffs : someone should cram that down BoZoBoB's throat.
