So, in other words, she’s accustomed to being an oppressor, and any move towards equality is being ‘oppressed.’ AKA a textbook example of, “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Counterpoint: since ‘society’ already works so well for the wealthy, they should lose the ability to vote. Since we already know that America is not a meritocracy, and that people’s ‘wealth’ has nothing to do with the value of their contributions to society, the wealthy can get the f*** out of line and let someone…

As if we needed further proof that US tax codes (especially *corporate* tax codes) was a warped and counterproductive clusterf***. As intended by those who want all the benefits of society but don’t want to pay for any of it, especially not their fair share of the burden their lifestyles puts on society.

It doesn’t matter. These laws are unconstitutional no matter what this flagrantly corrupt and illegitimate court ‘decides.’ Neither the state nor the federal government has the power or the authority to remove or restrict anyone’s RIGHT TO VOTE.

The fact that routine ‘daily’ inspections missed damage this catastrophic — and by all accounts, for over a week — would mean that *NONE* of the rides in the park are safe. Because their ‘inspections’ aren’t worth shit. And both the owners of the park *AND* the inspection staff need to be brought up on charges of…

Black Christians are a group of people I won’t pretend to understand. Why, after centuries of slavery, abuse, oppression, and murder at the hands of White Supremacists, would you *CHOOSE* to embrace the beliefs of White Supremacists? That’s some next-level Stockholm Syndrome there.

It’s the ‘you must have done something to deserve this’ mentality at work, the arrogant and idiotic belief that ‘innocent people don’t get sent to jail,’ that even if you didn’t commit this crime, you’re clearly guilty of something, so you belong in prison or you wouldn’t be there.

Why should we be surprised that wealthy, corrupt assholes dismantle the very institutions they benefited from once they’re no longer of service? Kicking the ladder out from under you so no one else can follow is as American as baseball and apple pie. Right up there with building an economy and a country on the…

But only so long as those ‘beliefs’ are Christian beliefs. They’re still more than happy to protect stepping all over other beliefs and religions. Especially when it’s Christians doing the ‘stepping.’

Business don’t *CARE* about anything except profits. That’s all this PR stunt was about. They thought their half-hearted show of support would generate profits. It didn’t. So they back peddled, like idiots, because catering to extremists is a losing move in the end (you’ll piss them off eventually — just ask…

While I don’t disagree with your point or your sentiment, the power of voting has been under systematic attack to eliminate it for over a century. There are very few cities, counties, and states where the power of the people’s vote is sufficient to enact any meaningful change. America’s democracy is hanging by a…

American Christian Conservatives  — a wretched hive of scum and villainy. FFS, even their Jesus would be like, “Keep my f***in’ name out yo’ mouth!”

Unfortunately, the Court has decided it prefers the gauzy confines of the Land of Make-Believe, where everything is equal and fair and there was never slavery, Jim Crow, or systemic racism.

In a time of rampant and growing racism and racial inequality, Conservative America doubles down on enshrining racism and racial inequality.

It’s hardly surprising. A *SIGNIFICANT* amount of ‘ancestral’ wealth was built on 1) active slavery, where people were literally owned property, or 2) passive slavery, where people were forced to subject themselves slavery just to ‘earn’ the means to not starve to death in the streets. In either case, ‘enslaving’…

You could have saved yourself a lot of that drivel by just saying “I don’t get it.” Because you clearly didn’t. There are large, wealthy, and powerful groups with vested interests in sabotaging *ALL* of those programs (and others). They’re ‘run’ terribly because wealthy, powerful groups *WANT* them run that way. To…

The difference you’re not getting — medicare for all is for everyone, which makes it in everyone’s best interests, including the administrators, for the system to work well. That’s why the US Postal Service ran almost flawlessly for over a century. By comparison, VA benefits are only for veterans...which most often…

Yeah, it’s another layer in the shit-frosted cake that is the Reagan creed about how, “The government doesn’t work (we’ve made sure of it)!” The people complaining how some program or other ‘doesn’t work’ are almost always the *REASON* why whatever it is they’re complaining about ‘doesn’t work.’ Like, no shit it’s not…

So your solution to an exploitative business’s price gouging practices is to give your money to an even more exploitative business that price gouges even worse and also actively undermines and destroys its competition....

Privacy, like accountability and transparency, has always been anathema to US ‘law’ enforcement. But instead of looking inside and addressing the structural issues that cause privacy, transparency, and accountability to be at odds with ‘law’ enforcement, it instead attacks anything that even remotely resembles…
