We found the thin skinned tankie.

Or the cat’s pajamas

You’re like the butt of UDP joke.

I simply forgot Gen X existed

We’re used to it.

associating crack with black people

Crack did not exist in at that time. The CIA didn’t flood black communities with it until the 80s.

Huh? What did I miss?

Yeah but for the majority of federal crimes you’re probably comparing these sentences to drug offender sentences which are much harsher because of the seriousness of the offense.

/s before crucifixion; drug sentences are ridiculous and these traitors getting anything less than a felony disqualifying them from participating in the system they tried to break is madness.

Believing someone when they say the money in the cash register is rightly yours and should be taken by force does not mean you get a pass when you rob a gas station.

just slow erosion of secular human rights in favor of christian fascism.

Thank you for that.

I’ve long thought we need a non-military service branch much like you describe and for much the same resson.

In my experience it isn’t just “rich” kids but anyone that grows up with minimal adversity and exposure to people outside their immediate (sheltered) bubble that are really hard to work alongside. Anyone who hasn’t been told “no” enough to understand the world doesn’t cater to them, really.

That was their implication: the ES&S machines were compromised supported by the fact that after switching to Dominion in 2018 the state was no longer solid red in 2020.

I cannot claim a deeper knowledge either way on this, only wanted to clarify that for you.

Just wait until you or someone close develops an autoimmune disease, then the trust meter falls off a cliff during round after round of tests and “you’re fine”.

Or if you have a bunion that skews your big toe 35° but they tell you it’s not bad enough for surgery and there’s nothing to be done for it.

Or…yeah we could be here all day just for the system’s failings for me and my wife.

And there’s our lack of or inadequate mental health coverage and care.

And that’s just one example.

The most glaring generator of mistrust for decades now is the thing citizens discuss all the time but is never addressed: our out of control military budget.

We could solve every one of our country’s financial issues multiple times over by reducing the military budget, and not even drastically so.

Our military was tasked with an audit to reign in waste and spending. They couldn’t pass an audit so they were just given a free pass, no penalties or repercussions. The first audit was 2017 and they failed to pass. They failed two more since then. Senator Sanders intoruduced a bill in 2021 and again in 2023 which required an audit and was supposed to impose penalties for failure, it’s been introduced so we’ll see how that goes.

Jeff is doing ok.

the facts of reality that I’ve already stated

But you never stated facts or reality.

You’re trying to argue that races exist as something other than social constructs.

Different Races for humans have no genetic or biological basis. Period.

Blonde is not a race. Brown eyed is not a race. Brown skin is not a race. And on and on

It’s amazing republicans even show their true face in public with all the persecution they endure.

They should hide themselves better or people might identify them as conservatives.

Someone else posted my same reply in response to another comment:

St. Louis, Columbia, Kansas City, and Springfield are civilized. The rest of the state, you’re not entirely wrong. Debts paid off, we’re just saving up to sell the house and expatriate as soon as feasible.

Cheers

What’s the 20 letter word in german for “I am happy for you as much as I hate you”?

No, they can’t.
