  1. I actually entertained the notion that, on this and other subjects, @Howe was actually a responsible person, and was only doing what he does to stir the pot, spark discussion, etc. But I am now convinced that he’s simply a series of trite phrases and familiar labels, like “left wing” and “libtard” that he shapes to fit any occasion. If what you’re after is thoughtful discussion and responsible debate, he’s simply that annoying gnat that buzzes around your ear. Pesky, but in the final analysis, of little to no significance.

  2. Yeah, let’s just COMPLETELY ignore that it has been said there are people in extreme groups on both ends of the spectrum that are causing problems. In fact, I don’t recall seeing a single post by anyone but you that points the blame in just one direction. But yeah, let’s just keep pointing the finger in that one direction. https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/05/31/us/politics/ap-us-america-protests-behind-the-protests.html

  4. Here's a video that I came across a bit ago that talks about US politics against world politics as well as a focus specifically on US politics. Definitely worth a look for perspective.

  6. As far as the bold part; which is it? You either have no clue of the intent of erecting them or you do. So, your years in Virginia made you an all knowing expert? lol, yeah, ok And the last part? Yeah I was WAY off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_of_monuments_to_Vladimir_Lenin_in_Ukraine "The demolition of Lenin monuments in Ukraine happened in four stages. During the 1990s more than 2,000 Lenin monuments were demolished in Galicia and Volyn, at the turn of the 1990-2000s more than 600 Lenin monuments were removed in western and central areas, in 2005-2008 more than 600 were demolished mainly in central areas, and in 2013-2014 552 monuments were demolished. Yep, way off....my bad.

  9. "homey" must be the archaic version. He's a U.S. History teacher. He should be an expert on Black History in the U.S.

  11. No, Trump isn't to blame for that cop murdering George Floyd. The cop is. It was happening long before Trump. Black people are fed up and also a lot of white people. I'm happy to see the protests. I hope they continue and intensify.

  16. https://reason.com/2020/06/03/its-time-to-bust-police-unions/ In other words, the research finds about what you'd expect given a public sector workforce with unions set up to protect police officer compensation while limiting discipline and oversight. Police get paid more, yet the public is no safer—and it's even at greater risk of violence by police. ....... Unions aren't the only problem plaguing American police forces; there are plenty of other reforms worth pursuing, from demilitarization to ending qualified immunity. But they have consistently proven to be a force of organized resistance to calmer, safer, less aggressive policing, in part because of how they perceive the nature of the job. That has been true in Minneapolis, where the police killing of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests. Bob Kroll, the president of the city's police union, wrote a letter to fellow officers describing Floyd, who was not resisting as an officer pressed a knee into his neck for nearly nine minutes, as a "violent criminal." Kroll has also referred to protesters as part of a "terrorist movement." He argued that officers were wrongly made to hold back on using less-lethal munitions to suppress riots, and he complained that the officers fired for their involvement in Floyd's death were "terminated without due process." Like other police union leaders, Kroll has resisted efforts to rein in police aggression. After the city's mayor banned "warrior training" courses that teach violent confrontation, Kroll decried the ban and struck a deal for city cops to take the course anyway. Janeé Harteau, a former Minneapolis police chief who resigned in 2017 following a police shooting, indicated that Kroll's remarks are typical of the sort of resistance to reform she encountered while chief, saying they represented "the battle that myself and others have been fighting against." In an interview with STIM radio in April, The Intercept reports that Kroll noted that he has been involved in three shootings, "and not one of them has bothered me." He lamented the emphasis on training cops to de-escalate tense situations, and cast the job as one for people who have a high threshold for violence: "Certainly getting shot at and shooting people takes a different toll, but if you're in this job and you've seen too much blood and gore and dead people then you've signed up for the wrong job." Beyond the legal and contractual particulars, these are the kinds of attitudes that police unions extol and reinforce. They contribute to a workplace culture that views policing as a job for individuals who remain unbothered by the results of violence. Police are public servants granted enormous power over the citizenry. They are tasked with protecting the public and serving their interests. Police unions, in contrast, are tasked with protecting police and serving their interests—even in direct contravention of serving the public. That distinction makes them a barrier to reforms aimed at improving public safety and increasing oversight of how law enforcement behaves. If union-busting is what it takes to reduce the pernicious influence of today's police unions on policing, then it's time to bust some police unions. Agreed. In fact all public sector unions needs to be busted, and made illegal.

  18. Perhaps these 7 "persons of interest" are the right wing activists and militia members some of the GID lefties have claimed are responsible for the riots and killings.

  20. All of my siblings use the same phrases. Two are current teachers and one is a former high school principal and football coach. I thought you were a Democrat but you claim otherwise. It was interesting to see you challenge my statements on Zantac being pulled from the market by the FDA due to a "contaminant" in the manufacturing process on two separate occasions. I do not care what the FDA claims. I am more inclined to believe the pharmacy who tested Zantac and discovered NDMA at a level 3,000 times higher than the FDA limit. The pharmacy stated "our finding is the ranitidine molecule falls apart into NDMA" and "the foundation of these concerns has been around for decades". I still believe you are a Democrat.

  25. Dr. Birx has stated "I cannot trust anything coming from the CDC" and "the CDC is inflating coronavirus statistics by as much as 25 percent". More than one newspaper had stated deaths are attributed to COVID-19 although the people had never been tested. Trump was once again correct when he stated "The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, that is their new hoax".
