Actually, I haven't seen Democrats this angry since Republicans freed their slaves.

Funny! The former slave states are now Republican.

Hmmmm... the old Confederacy is Republican? And it is always Republicans that want to limit voting rights. Hmmmm...

America’s cities have become safer over the last few years.

And you actually believe that?

More guns! More high school dropouts! Bang! Bang!

Harvard lost.  Supreme Court sets new limits on affirmative action programs in landmark ruling

Let the goose stepping begin. Heels click together as the white supremecists snap to attention. It was a good day for nazi wannabees. Achtung!

What if Putin's twist-haired sock puppet gets buggered in prison?

A-Ha! My conspiracy theory is true! 😇

The death of the best magazine published. Sad.

So, what was the idea about this armed security guard in schools again? It just adds another gun in the mix.

Just leave it status quo, with the kiddies being defenseless sitting ducks for the next mass killer shooting up the campus.

Fox news is trying to gaslight us into thinking Trump isn't hot.

But Trump is so sexy! That twist-around hairstyle to hide his bald head obviously drives women wild. And his large feminine butt...

I'm not interested in jumping out of a perfectly operating airplane, I don't wish to go swimming anywhere which harbors larger predators which may be in a hunting mode.

I quit playing chicken with locomotives around age 11.

But if you ever get a chance to ride something like this at an amusement park... Go for it, it's a blast.

Damn! That looks fun!

Well, l have bungee jumped. And l have sky dived. Sky diving is scary as shit! I don't think l'll sky dive again.

Quite sure l won't be going 2 miles deep in the ocean in a submarine. Just average scubadiving depth is good enough.

****

I am thinking one if these space launches carrying the super rich is going to go wrong before long. I hope not, but just saying...

It may be a vast right-wing conspiracy!

Yes, massive!

When is discrimination not discrimination?

Why don't you specifically tell us?

Quote by Magical_felix

Oh really? Who are my other accounts? I know one yours was Penny-Candy.

I think you already have figured out the other main one. So phony it is hilarious.

My newest conspiracy theory is that a certain right-wing blogger is paid to muddy up our Think Tank. And probably has a few others assigned to them. This online personality may have multiple personalities per site.

Either that or there is a rightwinger with multiple account disorder... er... multiple personality disorder stalking Lush and other sites.

That's my conspiracy theory of the month. 🤣🍺👌

Quote by WellMadeMale

Add in the rural hospital closures all across America - being instigated by Red State republican senators and congressmen for the last 22 years. There just isn't a comparable level of care for those who live outside of the larger metropolitan areas.

When your nearest hospital is 3 hours away and there's one LIFEFLIGHT helicopter on station (and maybe it's busy on another call) - there's a glaring problem. Epecially in an area where one or two or three smaller regional hospitals have closed shop in the last decade.

Mega-Hospital systems both private and public are buying up rural and small town hospitals and closing many down, all for higher profit. They can force outer region-rural dwellers to go further to the more profitable larger hospitals.

What seems outrageous is that many public regional hospital systems are doing this. They are creating monopolies and paying upper management salaries that put even corporate hospitals to shame.

To move a competitor hospital into the region, a certificate of need must be approved and that is political. A lot of corrupt money changing hands as rural hospitals are becoming a thing of the past.

Yes, you again posted a lot of words but did not answer the questions, just as l thought.

You cowardly called the questions, foolish. Shame on you, old man.

Are you scared to say you oppose government programs that help African-Americans narrow the gap to true equality in the USA?

Well, if you haven't grown balls to put it all on the line by your 70s, l am sure you never will. Maybe some other of your personalities will come to your aid.

Quote by CaitlinX

you may need to specify which federal government. There's more than one

We've been discussing The United States of America, but there could be similar scenarios in other countries. Is there another nation's situation you are interested in disgusting?

Quote by Chryses

I expected you not to provide any posts of mine to warrant your opinions, and you delivered what I expected.

Thank you.

As expected you danced around the answer.

Are you opposed to the Federal Government helping African American descendents I'd slaves, who as a people suffered 2 centuries of oppression in The United States, leaving them generally in a seriously disadvantaged economic, educational, and civil liberties situation? Or would you rather push a pro-white supremecist agenda that keeps American Black people as second class citizens?

Can you give a conclusive yay or nay answer to those questions, or will you put on your dancing shoes and talk in circles, saying nothing that means anything?

MAGA

He's a typical Trumper.

We've read your above posts, Chryses, as well as your history of Think Tank posts. Re-reading them does not answer the questions. That's why l asked those questions.

A Penny for your thoughts doesn't get much, does it?

Balls

Just demoted!? He should've been fired.

Obviously, law enforcement officers active in school security duties need additional special training for the job. And be properly vetted.

Quote by Chryses

I shall take that as an acknowledgment you had not noticed my question was, "When Should the Federal Government use Race to Exclude Beneficiaries?" not how long have those policies existed.

So, are you opposed to the Federal Government helping the Black American descendents of slaves, stolen from their native lands, living under 2 centuries of oppression to acquire equal status in the USA? And also the same with Native Americans having their Homeland overran, significantly wiped out by European disease, militarily defeated, and forced onto reservations?

And do you support keeping a White Supremicist status quo?

I'm thinking a large sum of money ended this. Old fashioned tribute... a financial scam. But showing how vulnerable Putin is. The world's richest man must've shelled out quite a sum to insure the control of his throne

Much stronger safety regulations should be put in place with Maritime Law.

Some people believe helping those oppressed for centuries is racist because the oppressed have a different color?

Would y'all say that is just an excuse for empowering and continuing white supremecy?

Quote by Chryses

And doing so based on "race"? I'm not so sure about that.

And you think that is different than economic victims, natural disaster victims, etc.?

I believe people who's ancestors were stolen from their land, forced into slavery, then subjected to racist laws and second/third class citizenry for a century, would easily fit into the categories needing aid just like disaster victims, etc.

I can only see those opposed to that as racist bigots. And no fucking apologies to any small minded pricks here that feel offended by that. You know who you are.

Wow! Donald Trump's puppet master might lose power. There would be no one to pull Trump's strings, but maybe Kim Jung Un.

And Russia could become a free and democratic nation, if they and everyone else is lucky Bad news for traitor Trumpers, though.

Some states are close to 50-50.
