Again you are fixated on one event. That was what broke the camels back and you are blaming just the last straw

It's always the same "event", just with different name attached: some thug decides to fight it out with the police during ligitimate stop/arrest and wins a stupid prize. It's a fucking deja vu.


And no, it didn't break the camel's back, because the stupid still think it's a good idea to fight with police instead of behaving like a normal citizen during encounters with the law enforcement.

Tim seriously nobody on this board approved of Chauvin's actions although t

There have been problems with police brutality but those are not racially motivated or biased. There's no evidence to support that. I'm totally for continued police reform and education but I'm not willing to pick up the race bait. Here in the bay area many cops are black or Asian, and they would tell you the same thing, that it's not an issue of racism.

What are you taking about? God you are starting to project as much as Marcus does....

It's all they've got, the Truth blinds them like Cockroaches in the light.

Tim Aurora says

Again you are fixated on one event

Another event, in a long string of black thugs finally meeting their end, that have been used to proclaim the racism of white cops. Unfortunately it takes a thug to stop a thug. Live a thug life, die a thug death.

The common thread among all of these events is that a criminal suspect did not cooperate with police.

You said: "Trumpsters are not ready to listen to this country."
I respectfully disagree.
What if "Trumpsters," as you call us, don't really love Trump, as much as we simply despised Hilary Clinton. And maybe in the upcoming election, we don't believe Biden can lead this country out of crisis from the safety of his bunker. But Trump is the bully we elected to make things better. And by my observations (and almost every economic indicator before COVID), he has done a damn good job for three+ years. I'm willing to give him a shot at 4 more.

Biden? He can't remember who his wife is, much less be trusted to lead the country. His record proves his worthlessness. Has-been do-nothings don't get to be president.

Good day, Sir!

Only reality TV star, con artist, bankruptcy artists with severe narcissistic personality disorder who will be ready to make all the reality based people cringe on a daily basis deserve to be President.

Tim Aurora says

1. Blacks are crime infested and need to be treated with brutality.
2. Left and China are mentioned in the same sentence to link them together. Never-mind that their is little in common and both left and Hong Kong are protesting against a brutal and insensitive government.
3. Conspiracy theories are rehashed
4. Focus on the fringe rioters and not the protesters
5. Claim that George Floyd deserved to be treated brutally due to his size etc

Never heard any of those. You people must live in alternate reality again where you think people who disagree with you think this way. Explains all the homos running around with rainbow flags thinking they live in rainbowlandia or something.

There are real arguments (from real world, not sure if it matters or you just want bullshit CNN once only):
1) Number of whites murdered is higher, number of blacks murdered is low compared to crimes committed. This is proof that police is not racist and out to get black people.
2) George Floyd wasn't an innocent little lamb, however he did not deserve to die.
3) BLM organization doesn't care about black lives, because they only politicize the one they can politically benefit from, since most lives are destroyed by liberal policies or in black on black crime (which there is 0 talk about).
4) BLM organization sends money to actblue -> which is a Democratic party fundraising platform. So you know where the money is going, probably Joe Biden, not to people they pretend to care about.
5) Rioting and looting wasn't ok
6) People are fed up with double standards. If you go protest lock downs, MSM calls you all sorts of bad names. If you go protest for BLM, MSM calls you John Adams. If you go outside for whatever reasons = you killing grandma, if you go outside to protest with BLM = you are John Adams.

Yeah, this is reality, people do see the bullshit double standards by the left, and how this whole BLM thing is nothing more than a very well organized media campaign by Democrats to collect money, collect votes, and try to disrupt election, while playing on emotions and history of the Black Americans. They do this every election year, after which they forget everything and go back to robbing and taxing the same Americans they pretend to care for just a few month prior to election.

Horrible scandals of the Obama era, the TAN SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep that’s about as critical as the MSM could manage to be about the guy. Maybe they were scared? He did use the espionage act to lock up several reporters who stepped out of line!

Don’t care. And yeah I did vote for him too.

Ya all might be surprised that I also voted for Obama.
Once.

Also you might want to at least spell the guy’s name correctly as you nakedly fawn and felate him.

Well, since I tried twice to have your comment deleted and was unable to do that I suggest you take your comment and stick it up your ass.

All due respect.

I notice that you took my suggestion and removed the extraneous “R” in Barack from your post title.
You’RRRRe welcome, BlackBeaRRRRRd!

Are you able to back these claims up with some links proving you actually read these opinions?

Why is everyone responding to this trollish post? You do realize he’s just saying “you all are RAYCIST!”??
And nobody should even acknowledge anyone screaming about that. It’s a stupid ad hominem attack which requires no thought or care for the victim and as the victim you are best off to ignore the troll who levels it.
It’s literally all they got. And as long as it sparks “debate” from people who want to defend themselves, the racist left will keep on calling us racists.

The only correct response is either,
1)ignore the troll
2)punch them in the nose

I agree with all you said there about tRUMP, but he still makes a better President than Hillary, who would have dragged us into war with Iran/Oceania by now. Sad that an orange sociopath is better than the other choice.

Tim, good luck with your life, I'm sure it is quite fruitful.

Don’t forget ISIS. He called them the JV team, daring them to prove him wrong. So they did.

Hmmmm!

Isn't that a CHINESE! name?

No you’re delirious, probably early stages of Wuhan virus hypoxic ischemia. Like everyone else you are dead already. Just wear the mask and die with dignity.

No shit the disease is a fucking nightmare and death sentence for a number of people who contract it. But it’s truly disingenuous for anyone to suggest that most of those who come in contact with it are destined to die or have their lungs and pulmonary systems debilitated.

Those who are railing against opposing party views and saying they hope they contract it and die are posturing themselves as imbecilic children.

"Russia are you listening" is all you got? And that was a joke about finding deleted emails from Hillary's illegal server, nothing to do with a DNC server. When you have nothing, I guess you just throw out anything.

Tim Aurora says

That is just an opinion. Can you back up with facts

Patrick says

It's a much better source for actual news and analysis than the NY Times, which is nothing but Pravda for believers in The Narrative these days.

Lol, that's just trolling.

But how about the fact that they just fired their Op-ed editor for doing his job?

rd6B says

When it comes to choosing a President, we always only have a choice between sociopaths. Except for W who was just a dumb puppet manipulated by Dick Cheney who was the sociopath in charge.

Not that it matters, but voted for him in round one. He "spoke" presidential which is what got me to vote for him. He didn't back it up though. At all really. He really had no business being POTUS in hindsight. He had zero executive experience in any realm. I bought a bill of goods that I thought was the real deal. He may go down as one of the worst Presidents in modern history.

I think if any of us make it to 2060 (for me 80 years old) we'll look back and look at Obama as an utter joke of a leader. All talk and never backing up a thing.

I think Obama needs to become a Realtor.

Can Facebook employees properly function without the smell of Starbucks, shit and piss in their nose all day?

Well, that's the thing about Starbucks: You can get it practically anywhere in the country. And, it's really not all that great anyway. As for the "shit and piss" — I'll take a pass, thanks!

I can see that San Francisco has some nice benefits (or at least it used to have nice benefits). And the weather throughout the greater Bay Area is fantastic. After that, most people are here because of the job opportunities. (jobs in high-tech and elevated salaries of jobs supporting those in high-tech) If high-tech isn't tied to the area, expect a massive change over time.

it can be done via self-service pretty much anywhere too.

President Obama guided the massive TARP program in a way that recovered more than was actually spent, by forcing banks to pay back more of the money.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says

HE LIVED WITH BANKER COCK DOWN HIS THROAT

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/secrets-and-lies-of-the-bailout-113270/

So what did bailout officials do? They put together a proposal full of even bigger deceptions to get it past Congress a second time. That process began almost exactly four years ago – on January 12th and 15th, 2009 – when Larry Summers, the senior economic adviser to President-elect Barack Obama, sent a pair of letters to Congress. The pudgy, stubby­fingered former World Bank economist, who had been forced out as Harvard president for suggesting that women lack a natural aptitude for math and science, begged legislators to reject Vitter’s bill and leave TARP alone.

In the letters, Summers laid out a five-point plan in which the bailout was pitched as a kind of giant populist program to help ordinary Americans. Obama, Summers vowed, would use the money to stimulate bank lending to put people back to work. He even went so far as to say that banks would be denied funding unless they agreed to “increase lending above baseline levels.” He promised that “tough and transparent conditions” would be imposed on bailout recipients, who would not be allowed to use bailout funds toward “enriching shareholders or executives.” As in the original TARP bill, he pledged that bailout money would be used to aid homeowners in foreclosure. And lastly, he promised that the bailouts would be temporary – with a “plan for exit of government intervention” implemented “as quickly as possible.”

But in the end, almost nothing Summers promised actually materialized. A small slice of TARP was earmarked for foreclosure relief, but the resultant aid programs for homeowners turned out to be riddled with problems, for the perfectly logical reason that none of the bailout’s architects gave a shit about them. They were drawn up practically overnight and rushed out the door for purely political reasons – to trick Congress into handing over tons of instant cash for Wall Street, with no strings attached. “Without those assurances, the level of opposition would have remained the same,” says Rep. Raúl Grijalva, a leading progressive who voted against TARP. The promise of housing aid, in particular, turned out to be a “paper tiger.”

So yeah, all praise OBAMA! because he took bankster's cock down his throat more graciously than Bush did and trump does now...

And more, about Obama HAMP achievements:

HAMP, the signature program to aid poor homeowners, was announced by President Obama on February 18th, 2009. The move inspired CNBC commentator Rick Santelli to go berserk the next day – the infamous viral rant that essentially birthed the Tea Party. Reacting to the news that Obama was planning to use bailout funds to help poor and (presumably) minority homeowners facing foreclosure, Santelli fumed that the president wanted to “subsidize the losers’ mortgages” when he should “reward people that could carry the water, instead of drink the water.” The tirade against “water drinkers” led to the sort of spontaneous nationwide protests one might have expected months before, when we essentially gave a taxpayer-funded blank check to Gamblers Anonymous addicts, the millionaire and billionaire class.

In fact, the amount of money that eventually got spent on homeowner aid now stands as a kind of grotesque joke compared to the Himalayan mountain range of cash that got moved onto the balance sheets of the big banks more or less instantly in the first months of the bailouts. At the start, $50 billion of TARP funds were earmarked for HAMP. In 2010, the size of the program was cut to $30 billion. As of November of last year, a mere $4 billion total has been spent for loan modifications and other homeowner aid.

In short, the bailout program designed to help those lazy, job-averse, “water-drinking” minority homeowners – the one that gave birth to the Tea Party – turns out to have comprised about one percent of total TARP spending. “It’s amazing,” says Paul Kiel, who monitors bailout spending for ProPublica. “It’s probably one of the biggest failures of the Obama administration.”
