Let the cuts start with the security details of those politicians.

AOC who hates guns and wants police defunded, has her own 5 person armed plain clothes police security detail who are supplemented with additional police at events. She demanded the 5 person detail over the normal 2 person detail because "she feels unsafe and people want to harm her".

My favorite bible story is the one where Jesus tear gassed and flash bang grenaded his followers so he could make a speech on the mount.

According to Justme.....Trump is so beloved and popular with everybody, which is why the White House now has three fences surrounding the grounds along with the Military Police, vicious dogs, tear gas, flash bang grenades and a bunker where Trump tweets the day away.

My wife is reading the popular book Next Year in Havana.

In an odd twist of fate, Elkin is reading Next Queer in Havana

[Clownkicker]

And johnforbes is reading Next Tier in Hades


He desperately needs to know what happens next for him.

[johnforbes]

It was 90 F here today, and beads of sweat dotted my noble brow.

It was nearly as hot here.

[elklindo69]

Defund Trump....

[johnforbes]

Even Lopez, the Chicago fellow who argued with Lightfoot the mayor, said that defunding police would only work for people who already lived in safe areas.

It would invite individuals to arm themselves further, hire private security, and/or band together in vigilante groups for self-protection.

[Clownkicker]

For those politicians calling for funding remedial education for conservatives......thank you.

[elklindo69]

Perhaps one way to reduce racism in policing is to remove conservatives from the police force.

[johnforbes]

The Left has used the word "racism" for everything at this point.

Today, for delusional young leftists such as Elkin, the word means only "somebody with a different opinion."

[Clownkicker]

Yes, johnny, ALL people who don't agree that people are people and deserve equal rights regardless of race are racists.

It may be they are "somebody with a different opinion", but it defines them as racist.

There's nothing you or I can do about it. It isn't merely my opinion that they are racist. It's the dictionary's opinion.

Your problem here is similar to your inability to grasp that the VA and SS are socialist organizations. You keep saying they aren't, but the dictionary says otherwise.

Tough luck, johnny, your partisan ignorance is not an argument. Reality always has the last word.

[johnforbes]

Tough luck, the Left does NOT believe in equality.

Affirmative action is racial discrimination.

It bases decisions not on the content of character, as King stated, but on skin tone.

[sillydaddy]

Clown is equally racist as anyone that fits the dictionary definition of the word...
and I am OK with that..!

[elklindo69]

Johnnie....if the whites weren't racist and discriminatory to begin with in the first place....then there would have been no need for affirmative action.

[johnforbes]

Elkin, we both agree that white racism was wrong.

But two wrongs don't make a right.

Affirmative action created new victims of racial discrimination (poor whites and Asians).

[Clownkicker]

Unsurprisingly, johnforbes exhibits his fundamental misunderstanding of what "affirmative action" really is.

He continues to insist affirmative action is reverse racism based on skin tone. (Which term "skin tone" alone demonstrates a gross ignorance of "racism" to begin with. He even believes the makeup someone wears is their "skin tone" suggesting that all I need to do to suffer racism from whites is to put on green or red or orange or blue makeup.)

The proof that johnforbes doesn't understand what affirmative action is is the fact that he repeatedly insists that the tens of millions of white women benefiting from affirmative action over the past 40 years are experiencing reverse racism based on their skin tone.

Since a huge number of those white women have lighter "skin tone" than johnforbes has, we can see that his definition of affirmative action as "reverse racism based on skin tone" is simply the ignorant sour grapes of an oblivious privileged white male.
And how he insists white women in this country have been the victims of some sort of racism based on their skin tone for the past four centuries is too stupid to even consider. Even johnforbes won't come out and say something so patently idiotic. That's how stupid his argument against affirmative action is -- he won't use his own argument to argue against it.

Affirmative action is an attempt to partially rectify centuries of systemic injustice against various demographic groups in America.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with "skin tone" as we can see since millions of African Americans and 'white' women have lighter skin tone that millions of 'white' men. White men with ruddy complexions or deep suntans don't suffer racism from whites in America.

johnforbes continues to characterize social justice as being merely one of "two wrongs" when it isn't wrong. Social justice is never wrong. And a refusal to address social injustice (as johnforbes is here arguing America should do from now on) leads to the very sort of social unrest and even social upheaval that we see on the news every single day for the past few weeks.

[johnforbes]

Like ethnicity, gender is an accident of birth -- not something earned.

The intellectual flaw in racism is that it assesses merit based not on ideas or performance, but on genetic accidents.

And, of course, the main goal of affirmative action was to institute a new benign pattern of racism to help blacks.

The problem is that any program which uses skin tone to judge merit is racist, and affirmative action is racist.

Also sexist, as Clown noted.

[Clownkicker]

"The problem is that any program which uses skin tone to judge merit is racist, and affirmative action is racist."-johnflubs

As I explained, there is currently NO "program which uses skin tone to judge merit". johnforbes, as a frightened and privileged white male, simply made it up to sow fear in other white males who benefited greatly from systemic racism just as johnforbes did.

johnforbes continues to play dishonest semantics games to attribute his made up characterization to affirmative action.

[sillydaddy]

University of California regents just voted to reinstate affirmative action ...Why?
To appease the masses, of course..No benefit ..UC student body is already reduced to only 24% white..!

Finally, an intelligent response from johnforbes.

[elklindo69]

Johnnie.....try not to take yourself too seriously. After all, you're nothing more than a numb-nutted conservative fool.

[johnforbes]

Elkin, please stop yourself.

You seem like an amiable enough fellow, but your reputation as the dumbest person on the Interwebs is intact.

[elklindo69]

Johnnie....the kind of people who want to get together in large groups right now are exactly the kind of people who ought to.

On that note perhaps Trump should go ahead with his Nazi hatefest rally...

[johnforbes]

But Elkin, Governors Wolf and Whitmer eagerly marched, shoulder to shoulder, with crowds of strangers yelling racist slogans such as only the lives of one ethnicity matter.

ALL lives matter.
