  1. I know that neither party has the best interest of blacks or any minorities in their platform. But if you try to sell on the Dems being better, we will absolutely not agree. 
     
    Deep down you know it.
    No I do disagree. I grew up under a republican/conservative house. There is a distinct difference, and it is even more obvious today.

  2. Might as well. I'm sure you would prefer the other word but are too cowardly to use it on the internet. Need those internet points, right? That's who you are. Just another chickenshit racist, who only uses minorities to push your bullshit politics. The only white supremacists here are people like you and Biden. You are not nor will you ever be better than me simply because you are white. Sell that bullshit to one of those useless negroes you can goad with fearmongering.
     
    Fuck you, right back.

    Hate to break it to you @Brothahorn but you're supporting a white supremacist. The GOP is the party of racism today.

    Deep down you know it.

  3. Fascism is an ultranationalist, authoritarian political philosophy. It combines elements of nationalism, militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and totalitarianism. It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government
    1. FL Senate Bill 266 bans Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in FL colleges. 
    2. FL Senate Bill 254 bans medical care for transgender children 
    3. FL Senate Bill 300 bans DNC medical care for women
    4. FL HB 1557 bans books about gays in school 
    Hey, but fuck other peoples rights huh?
    You support a fascist.  Go fuck yourself.
    I'm not always the best with words, but these two posts complete my thoughts on Desantis and those who support him. Props to you both.

  4. What kind of books were banned?  Give me some specifics. I'm not anti-anything. But some shit needs to be age appropriate.
     
    BTW, I love you too, [mention=550]PenelopeWitherspoon[/mention]. Our differences are what brings us together.
     
     
    Not "anti-anything'? Really? Do you live in Texas, because you'll probably love my follow up question.

    Sorry you live under a rock.

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two years into a surge of book bans across the United States, Florida is a hot spot in the clash over what reading material is appropriate for children, with laws that have greatly expanded the state’s ability to restrict books.

    Historically, books were challenged one at a time. As bans in schools and libraries began increasing nationally in 2021, efforts were largely local, led by a parent or a group. But over the past year, access to books, particularly those touching on race, gender or sexual orientation, became increasingly politicized. With that came an increase in legislation and regulations in some states and school districts that affected which books libraries could offer.

    The shift is particularly evident in Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican-controlled Legislature and a rapidly growing network of conservative groups aligned to pass three state laws last year aimed, at least in part, at reading or educational materials. Among the books removed from circulation in one of the state’s school districts are Toni Morrison’s “Beloved,” and Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

    Proponents of the restrictions say their aims are to protect students from inappropriate materials and to give parents more control over their children’s education. In focusing on “parents’ rights,” Mr. DeSantis is trying to build on the popularity he amassed when he resisted Covid-19 restrictions, particularly in schools. The push is a signature part of the conservatism he is showcasing in Florida. His Parental Rights in Education law, for example, constrains instruction on gender and sexuality, which has led some districts to remove books with L.G.B.T.Q. characters.

    Some teachers and librarians say the policies are vague, with imprecise language and broad requirements, leading to some confusion. But they are trying to comply. Violation of the law could be a third-degree felony; in general, such crimes are punishable by up to five years in prison

    In January, when the new guidelines went into effect, some teachers removed or covered up books that had not been vetted by certified media specialists, whose approval is now legally required. Others are not ordering titles that could draw complaints. Some educators emptied shelves or pulled collections until the titles could be reassessed.

    Should I start with banning books? Or are you more of an anti-trans/homophobe? Or if that's too embarrassing, we can knock out Desantis using his political office to punish companies who speak out against him or push back on his policies?

    Hell we can even dive into his latest legislation to dumb down Florida education. Your call.

  7. Those idiots are going to F u and nominate Trump. Which will lead to 4 more years of President Ice Cream Cone. This means that the word salet Kamala will finish Ice Cream's term. 
     
    We're proper fucked, Tommy.
     
    Ron DeSantis or Fuck it 2024!
    Are you under the belief that the country would be better off under Desantis?

  8. Are you saying Joe is a good option? Or just that Joe is a better option than Trump.

    I agree with the latter, but, that alone doesn’t really help anyone. At the end of the day he’s completely incompetent for the job that needs to be done.

    Super nice guy though.
    Joe will always be a better option than Trump. This isn't even a debate.

    Is Joe the best candidate for 2024? That is debatable. His age is a factor. I'd prefer a much younger candidate, but I'm pleased with where we are today as a country, so he gets the benefit of the doubt currently.

    It really comes down to the policies of the party we want to represent our country. Right now, the GOP is heavily leaning toward fascism and/or a theocracy ruling party. That's not what our country is.

  9. And our country too.
    Yes! This is bigger than Harris county issue. My bad. Thanks @Foosters

    And to recap. Fuck Trump. Fuck you who still support him. I say this as a conservative who voted for this piece of shit in 2016.

    Thanks to Trump and his cancerous infestation of the GOP I'm an estatic supporter of any and all democratic politicians on my ballot.

  10. That being said, no one has figured out how to not get run over by this fuckface yet. She’s had a pretty tremendous grasp of the facts. She just can’t get a word in edgewise, and she’s giving him courtesies to answer he has never given her in return. I feel bad for her, she’s got a lot of facts and great responses. But he never stops talking, he lies 100%, and the crowd cheers raucously. It’s a bad formula, and he’s going to get a big bump from independents from this, just watch. 
    How the fuck do independents support this piece of shit? Are these independent voters just complete morons?

  11. Ron was JAG. JAG is part of the military the same way the manager is part of the football team.
    I'll not stand here and allow you to besmirch the J.A.G. Corp.

    If this show taught me anything, the J.AG. Corp is an Officer who is a lawyer, Navy SEAL, pilot, SWO, occasional Playboy and in a pinch Naval Intelligence Officer 7498de323d5c17784fa3c69d764b28a8.jpg
