Politics Thread

My wife calls me an idiot all the time. Never thought of it as being racist. If I ask her, I'm afraid she's just going to graduate me to moron.

Wonder what part of Senator Scott’s speech has some on the left freaking out and with a portion throwing racial slurs (which is despicable from anyone) at him to begin with? Was it because he talked about self reliance and small government or because he said America is not a racist country?

Thinking the former because Kamala and Joe said the same thing about America days later.

Civility is gone from politics. This is about naked racism and hypocrisy.
Instead of deflecting to an irrelevancy, why don’t you address the point about the blatant racism from the left who is always screaming racism?

But, you know. Grifters will shout about how “Black Lives Matter” while blindly ignoring how many Black Lives are wiped out in South Side Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other long term DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED cities every weekend. Seems like any “conversation” that the grifters want to have stops when you start to point out that these issues might be connected to who has been in power for decades in places.

Address the issue of racism vs Scott, not some red herring.

Back to my point. 5 dead 33 black folks injured in shootings in Democrat controlled Chicago in just 2 hours this weekend.
Where is the screaming about Black Lives Mattering there? And, you know. Why bother spending, oh, say, $5 million dollars on programs that would actually curb violence rather than spending it on three houses for yourself there Patrisse Cullors, Ms BLM?

Hypocrisy.

She does pretty well for a Black Marxist who hates capitalism living "among her people in a 98% white 'hood". Maybe BLM should focus on the horrendous Black on Black crime. They certainly have the funds.

Here is some legit voter fraud. Just not quite the right candidate some were hoping.

Bruce Bartman, white guy in PA who illegally voted for Trump on behalf of his dead mother, gets 5 years probation

Crystal Mason, black woman in TX who voted on supervised release when she didn't know she was ineligible, gets 5 years in prison

Two justice systems in America

Say what you will about intent, but there was no difference in sentencing possibilities between the two cases. Even Crystal Mason was offered probation, but she DECLINED. And since she was CONVICTED(and was still on probation for tax fraud) the sentence was more harsh.
Mason’s federal conviction for tax fraud came in 2011, after she pleaded guilty to preparing thousands of income tax returns that contained false information for her clients. She was ordered to pay more than $4.2 million in restitution and was in default on her payments.

Tell the whole damn story Paul instead of doing the usual Lib act of picking and choosing parts to fit your narrative.

Exactly...intent.

She was intending to vote for herself, and thought it was OK

He was intending to vote for his dead mother and registered a dead person so he could have 2 votes.

You never give up. She is a felon, convicted and sentenced. She was offered probation. She declined for some ungodly reason.
Point. No, not Two different justice systems. Stop with the attempted divisive rhetoric

[paulxu]

What ever is "divisive" about my rhetoric.

The woman was convicted of a crime. She served 5 years in jail for it, and was out on probation.
She thought she was allowed to vote, thought it was OK, and cast a provisional ballot. It was determined she was not eligible.
And her ballot was never counted.
Now she is back in jail.

And you totally ignore the person who filed a second ballot for his dead mother, intentionally violating our election laws.
Actually doing something your crazy president has been whining about for years, fraudulently voting, and he's free on probation.
And you're worried about the women who made a mistake and whose ballot was never counted. Is that because he voted for the loser?

Amazing.
