  1. Now there is a blast from the past. Damn!
  2. 1964
  3. I've been thinking about this. It's going to get really dangerous for Americans traveling abroad.
  4. Abroad? I am pretty sure we are about to start with our own people inside our borders.
  5. What I dislike the most is drive by racists. They pop in and say something factually incorrect and don't stay for their comeuppance. Looks like @Pancho and @Satchel already handled it.
  6. Is it? Also, blacks could never catch up to the atrocities whites committed against blacks in US history. But now you wanna clutch your pearls? Fuck off.
  7. Imagine constantly having to prove your worth. Everyday. Imagine every life accomplishment being taken away by someone asking if you were hired based on diversity. Imagine your company coming to you and asking if you want to represent them at a conference for black executive in DC. Now you also are wondering if that's why you were hired. Imagine always being passed over for the big promotion. Imagine never being able to express emotions at work for fear of the "angry black man" label. Imagine all the micro-aggressions, jokes, and well-meaning, but insulting compliments you have to navigate on a daily basis like "you are so articulate", or a neighbor walking by as you cut grass with your teenager and asking you how much you charge. Imagine people always having a surprised reaction when you tell them where you live. Imagine being followed for most of your life when you go into stores. Imagine always working or living in spaces where you don't see people like you. Imagine turning on the tv and seeing every level of your government being aggressive towards your people. Everyday. For half a century. Imagine always being terrified anytime you encounter law enforcement. Imagine walking down the street and people crossing the street or locking their doors. Imagine being afraid to go for a jog or walk in your own neighborhood because of what that might trigger. Imagine being ignored at car dealerships and mistreated at restaurants. I have to tip big BEFORE we eat at a restaurant and then always request the same person if we want even decent service. Imagine always being seen as a fetish. The amount of couples that have approached me is staggering. I know some of you are laughing but I am being honest. The grey slacks must make you approachable. Now imagine you now have kids and have to teach them how to navigate all that(except for that last part) all over again. It's exhausting.
  8. Welcome to what it feels like to be black.
  9. This is what I heard happened. This also tracks with what the dad on youtube said. If you read the police report one of the kids said that Melo was friends with one of the guys on the Memorial track team so could be how he was at the same party. It also explains why the situation turned violent so quickly. There is def more to this story than "dude nobody knew was under a tent and decided to stab some random guy".
  10. You are not convincing them of anything because they aren't watching anything besides dear leader and Fox. It's time to knock heads.
  11. Man, you guys need to lay off Eddie. He is a Nice Guy.
  12. There are a lot of motherfuckers who never took a civics class and have zero sense of economics. Dumb people just see someone "doing something". They aren't smart enough to come to their own conclusion of how those moves will affect them and theirs so they turn to their leaders for explanation. That's when their leadership flat out lies to them. I went to one of those oil change places where you stay in your car. There is a lady next to me in a car that was clearly less than a year old. I listened to this 19 year old kid sell her on a radiator flush, cabin filter, and every other service they had with simple scare tactics. None of it she needed, but they saw a mark and swooped in for the kill. My thought was that was MAGA sitting in that car. You are going to break down on the side of the road and Tyrone is going to rape you in your car. You are going to be forced to keep it because Texas. Then after you grow attached to your Texas rape baby, ICE is going to snatch him and deport him, because even though you are white, you have a Hispanic last name, and that baby is a little too brown. So make sure you flush your radiator so that doesn't happen. MAGA
  13. Most MAGATS I see are your first example. No money in the market to be worried about so to them Biden's economy was awful because the prices at Walmart were higher. They base their opinion about how the country is doing on these factors. Gas prices, Groceries, Brown people, and Gays. Everything has it's place and if any of those things get a little too uppidity they want them dealt with. These guys think Tyrone and Jose at the job are great but all the other Hispanics and Blacks out there are pieces of shit. They have a family member who fell on hard times and their government assistance is just what they needed to get them through the rough patch, but these other folks need to get off the government tit. They think cutting taxes on the rich frees up money to hire more people and raise wages. They've never heard of tax loopholes or stock buybacks and when you try to explain how they work their eyes glaze over. One of their sons is a little feminine and all they talk about is how he "has a ton of female friends".
  14. This right here is exactly why I will still be able to sell my house for top dollar even though all measurables say "you shouldn't buy right now because we are headed into a recession". The MAGA Media has a sundae with sprinkles for every seemingly negative situation. That is why talking to them hits a brick wall. They immediately just start to regurgitate all of the MAGA approved talking points regardless of any logical conclusion to the contrary. Never seen anything like it. We will be well into 2026 before they even remotely start to understand they were duped.
  15. Samesies. Pre-purchase looked at the most updated flood maps in case they decided to upgrade to them post Harvey. Still did not matter. Insurance went up.
  16. The latter Earl
  17. Far too young to be struggling picking that up little fella
  18. lol. I know. It was too late and all that.
  19. I think that's why they won't let a woman take the reigns.
  20. This dumb motherfucker can't see the snowball rolling downhill. I tried to explain this to one of my MAGA used to be friends in terms that he could understand. I will repeat what I said here. Me- Say you worked at a job and one day your boss called all you guys in and said that all of you are now going to be doing double the work for the same pay. What would you do? Would you just walk out?(he has a wife and kids) MAGA- No. I would keep on working but immediately start looking for a job elsewhere and then leave once I found one. Me- That is what the rest of the world is doing now with these tariffs. Some of them may be willing to come to the table and now but they are securing trade avenues elsewhere and when they do they will leave us just like you would leave your employer. MAGA- ..................................................................... You have to explain this to MAGA like they are middleschoolers. Even then it might not hit home. This dunce doesn't think these world leaders are smart enough to see any other options other than capitulating. He is even dumb enough to be on national TV talking about how they are sucking him off to make a deal as if that won't further motivate them not to deal with him.
  21. I started to say no you aren't old because I. Then I remembered that I now am also old.
  22. First this dude is upset because someone said "I love this for you". Meanwhile you voted for the guy who told you clear as day that he was going to turn back time on the LGBTQ community. The guy that said Haitians were eating Dogs and Cats and he was going to get them out of here even though they were here legally. So basically you were okay with other people's suffering. But now that it's him here comes the righteous indignation. Second, ole buddy said he knew Trump was going to hit the tariff button but he thought the infrastructure would be put in place first? How long did he think it takes to build factories? Imagine thinking we would put up all the manufacturing China does in a single election cycle much less the rest of the world. I cannot believe there are people this dumb out there but here we are.
  23. Exactly. Anyone still in denial about us already being in a dictatorship is fooling themselves. We're here!
