Black population is 13% of the population, how many are Republicans? Maybe 1 out of 50,000? The argument was that the selection of Blacks wanting to run on a Repub ticket are so minimal that theres none to choose from, none at least with the speaking abilities of a Obama. SO why aren't there more white running backs? Answer- Because theres none to choose from. Same with black Repubs.
I am semi retired now, but I have posted before about the industry I was in and how China decimated it in the early to mid eighties. I have only second hand stories as proof, but they did sell their goods at a fraction of our cost. People who claimed they saw it said they forced workers in to production plants at slave wages, by gun point if necessary. I had a delegation of Chinese come into my factory led by one of the first Americans to import our product. They wanted me to buy from them and become one of the early distributors. I guess it cost me a fortune, but I said no because it just didn't seem right.

A consequence of communism. China enslaved its own people to harvest grain, which it sold to other countries in exchange for industrial equipment, which it used to grow its industrial base. Between 30 and 70 million Chinese starved to death during this short period. We honestly don't know how many, because China lied about it and got away with it. There was no internet back then.
Yeah, SCOTUS's involvement in NC's law was just a statement on whether the state legislature has jurisdiction to also defend the law in court. It didn't have anything to do with the constitutionality of it being a poll tax. NC provides the required ID for free, just like every other state that has a requirement, so that was not even being litigated there.
Do your own homework. I researched it to my satisfaction, and, as of NOW, and until SCOTUS says otherwise, voter ID laws do not constitute a poll tax. And that is a fact, jack. Get back to me when SCOTUS says they are. Until then, quit whining about it. LOL
Gas prices were out of control due to the Russian/Ukraine War. Any time there are supply issues, prices rise.
And, being in power RIGHT NOW, are in a position to enact these miracle cures. LOL
Gas prices shot up right when Biden took over. The Russian war didnt help, but theres no way that happens if Trump was still in charge. Biden is weak, he cant complete a sentence and he was taken advantage of.
Its amazing. "I'm going to fix all the problems with the border, we need more help down there" But then claim a day later theres no border issues, that its on par.
It's Trump's fault for blocking superfluous border control legislation. LOL
"Trump is ripping families apart, he's putting people in cages"
What? There is a giant population of white people. Any of them could be running backs. The reason they aren't is because of the fact of genetic biological predispositions. The average Han Chinese person is shorter than the average white person. The American Black population were subjected to multiple bottlenecks that selected for physical fitness. IT WAS CALLED SLAVERY. The NFL isn't filled with Ethiopians. The medal stands in the distance running events at the Olympics are though.
You're saying white people just aren't as good. Thats racist, how dare you!!
No, you're assuming the default is that it isn't, when the opposite is true. The default is that any paid documentation, including ID, IS a poll tax. That's why every state, mostly Republican ones, have jumped through extra hoops to comply. You think Republicans would be offering free stuff if they didn't have to?
See, this is a great illustration of just how unserious of a person you are. Any time someone scratches beyond the surface of an issue you retreat to proclamations and platitudes, never facts. For a numbers guy you love to ignore them when convenient. Tibetans have genetic differences that help them survive high altitudes. One is not a Nazi for acknowledging that fact. The issues come when you start judging people over them.

Gas prices have floated around 3.00 for almost 20 years. Supply disruptions due to COVID, that ship getting wedged in the Suez Canal, disruptions due to the Ukraine war, and inflation due to COVID stimulus caused prices to spike. Trump would have waved his magic wand I'm sure.
Ok, so again, I don't where you're getting this, but it's flat the opposite. Standing precedent is that paid voter IDs are a poll tax. That's why every single state that requires an ID to vote provides one for free. Because they have to. You're saying they don't have to, and are just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts?? Of course they have to, there's been lots of litigation on if even making people jump through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops amounts to a 'hidden' poll tax. There's no debate on an actual required payment for documentation required to vote.
It still doesn't address the fact that the country was in better shape when he was president. Minus the radical jobless protestors.Gas prices have floated around 3.00 for almost 20 years. Supply disruptions due to COVID, that ship getting wedged in the Suez Canal, disruptions due to the Ukraine war, and inflation due to COVID stimulus caused prices to spike. Trump would have waved his magic wand I'm sure.

Everyone loved the stimulus. Letting the economy crater -- aka The Treasury View -- caused the Great Depression in this country to last from 1929-1941. Was there inflation due to the stimulus? Sure. Everybody who imagines there aren't going to be stresses due to externalities raise your hand.
Trump never says where his numbers come from. My bet: stoking anger over strangers is a big win among his base. You sure sound angry. Maybe you're in his target audience. There are agencies which track such things and the number now is just where it was when Trump was president. Around 11 million. I've heard insane numbers: 50 million, 75 million. 1 out of 6 people are illegal aliens? Yeah, that tracks.
The Allies appeased Hitler. How did that work out?
Catching up on the thread…. Chicago is the PERFECT venue for the DNC. I’m not gonna lie…I want a shit storm to break out so people can see just how f’ed up the Democrats really are.
Trump tried to overthrow an election and has continuously lied about the evidence. Trump stole defense secrets and kept them unguarded at Mar-a-Lago. Trump intends to use the authoritarian ideas in Project 2025 and continues to lie about it. He has promised revenge prosecutions. Trump's tax cuts exploded the national debt.
