More Affluenza and Another Judge That Needs to Be Removed

None of which has anything to do with the thread topic.

Agreed and I said something to that effect. This started from another thread and then someone quoted me here. Now you have these nitwits that were never part of the original thread talking all kinds of crap about things that have absolutely nothing to do with my original comment.

Always with the 'wiser-than-thou' shtick. You're such a tool.

What in the absolute fuck are you talking about? I didn't make up anything or provide misinformation. Are you seriously unable to read the link I provided?

Why Biden succeeded on infrastructure (and Trump didn't) (msnbc.com)

I didn't make that up. Please do not EVER procreate.

Trump's infrastructure agenda failed because he couldn't pass it and his tax cuts at the same time. Due to the lack of funding created by the tax cuts. So to fund infrastructure, he proposed privatizing the highway system, which would have required nationwide tolling, which was and is unpopular with both parties.

I recall commenting about this here at the time, that Trump had to choose between tax cuts for the rich elites or jobs for his loyal base. And his choice cost him the following 2 elections.

You said the Dems have turned infrastructure into a partisan thing simply voting against it when the R's had the presidency, simply to be partisan, and you have yet to prove that.

A simple link would suffice. I showed how the Dems actually performed action for medicare to negotiate drug prices and the R's blocked a vote on the bill.

Still waiting.

Your both sides are the same schtick is tiring and dishonest. But please, link your proof up.

 

[Paratus]

Sure, right after you show me evidence that "Not one R thinks we should let Medicare negotiate drug prices" or "Not one R thinks Medicare should cover hearing aids or vision,"

I was completely unaware that you know the actual personal opinion of every Republican had their inner most personal thoughts. Feel free to show me where each Rep voiced that they do not want

Plus, on the whole infrastructure thing, it's well known there have been other attempts and you sit there and say the Reps never wanted one. But if you are really suggesting that Dems do not currently or have not voted on party lines against a Rep bill or law, you're a way bigger moron than I gave you credit for. You can't understand that I was making a point. You want to stick to singular facts on one subject that has nothing to do with what is actually happening or what I originally intended to point out. It's impossible to get someone to understand when their basic lack of a intelligence to stick on topic is all over the place. Jeeze.

I didn't gloss over anything about overthrow democracy. My point was never that either party has done anything wrong. You keep moving the goal post (no surprise) on what my post was originally talking about. It's not about how or what they vote about. I'm not talking about the radicals who do things evil in using the name of either party. It was about the people of P&N.

So your argument for the republicans is some of the one who voted against the infrastructure bill were just to craven to vote for something that helped the country? They maybe secretly wanted to vote for it but were just to weak to go against the party? Talk about damning with faint praise.

You know what the difference is between you the “both sider” and the “Trumpublicans” they can at least tell the parties apart.

You're dense. I'm not #bothsides, I'm #neitherside, I dislike them both. At least use the little bit of brain you have left to get it right. You're so easily triggered, buddy. It's fairly hilarious you are so angry over someone posting an opinion. Seem like the type of guy that goes home and kicks his dog and such.

This is a distinction without a difference. Again, you’re being played and it’s baffling to me that you can’t see this.

 

[thilanliyan]

Yawn. The thread had nothing to do with elevating anyone above the fray. I swear to god, some of you all have serious issues with reading comprehension. Last time I'm going to say it. I only posted it because it's funny there's no talk of it being a Dem, but you look at other court cases and you have idiots spouting anti-party rhetoric left and right. Objectively, looking at it from an outside perspective, this forum is ridiculous.

As has been mentioned, people in this thread have already condemned him.
Please clarify, are you looking for people to say, "see, Dems are bad too!!"? (People in this thread have already said that too)

What difference does it make if he's a Dem or Rep? Crappy behaviour/verdicts should be called out irrespective of their political affiliation, and that has been done several times already.

The majority of the time people on this forum call out Reps when they display crappy behaviour/policies/etc, not solely because they are Reps. Unfortunately Reps hitched their wagon to a really despicable human. And some of his tendencies are now part and parcel of the party, AND PEOPLE KEEP VOTING FOR IT.

If you want to say Reps and Dems are the same, then show us crappy policies and behaviour that Dems get behind please, otherwise your premise (as I understand it) has no merit.

It's not intellectually lazy anymore, it's become intellectually dishonest.

 

[Pohemi]

It's not intellectually lazy anymore, it's become intellectually dishonest.

Don't forget: being indignant and belligerent as well.

 

[fskimospy]

It's not intellectually lazy anymore, it's become intellectually dishonest.

I couldn't say if it's dishonest or not but there's definitely a category of people who think their opinions are better and/or more enlightened because they claim to be nonpartisan. Even in the best of times this is lazy thinking but right now it's so stupid as to be dangerous. Right now we have the Democrats who are sometimes shitty and corrupt, but are shitty and corrupt in the general scope of shittiness and corruption for political parties in developed democracies around the world. Then you have the Republicans, who are actively working to subvert democracy and whose standard bearer attempted a coup 10 months ago. When useful idiots look at this and say #bothsides they are playing into the hands of the coup plotters because it normalizes them.

Maryland police officer convicted of rape, assault allowed to serve entire sentence at home

Wtf is this horseshit? Raped a woman and serve your sentence at home? No psychological injury to the victim? Holy shit...

 

[Bitek]

I emailed this clown's clerk and said how offensive this ruling was and how we all know if the perp was black or brown they'd have the book thrown at them, etc...

Why are we all jumping to racial privilege assumptions? It's not like they aren't any white rapists in prison.

Dude came from a rich family, a well heeled law firm no less.
Wealth and connections are always powerful influencers.

I did mention rich as well on the email. But I did also mention race. If the perp was dark, that would have made a difference

Exactly, it’s better to be a rich black guy than a poor white guy in terms of the law but it’s also even better to be a rich white guy.
