Except my point was that Mike Pence is so dull and surface level inoffensive that the news would have ignored whatever legislative efforts he and the Republicans would have pushed through Congress. He could have brought up a bill mandating Conversion Therapy across all 50 states, and it would have been a blurb next to…

Did Trump talk about it? Was he the face of the bill? Was it a part of things he wanted to get passed during his campaign run and bragged about during and after?

I believe you’ve forgotten the major donations that happened during that time.

I think that you’re overestimating both how dull Pence is and how much the news outlets, save for the more liberal organizations, would have went to report the news.

Mike Pence could give them that and “appear” to be a competent President, unlike the incompetent, boorish, vile traitor occupying the role.

I’m calling bullshit on Broken hearted and confused as fuck. Assuming that her camming is the primary way she makes money, this is a major component in her life and one that had the bigger chance to kill the relationship when found out. That she kept up the lie until it was uncovered says that she really didn’t think…

You either missed the point or you’re using Rain’s status at the time as a screen to hold your opinion.

It wasn’t that his father fucked men that upset Rain, it was that he wasn’t alive to tell his side of the story and say, in his own words, whether what Quincy was saying was true or not.

Which wife? He was married seven times, and his marriages with Jennifer Lee took place from 1981-1982 and from 2001 till his death. Richard did meet Jennifer in 1978, and officially dated in 1979, but by Rain Pryor’s account, he was in an open relationship with a trans woman for much of the late 70' to the early 80's…

I think you missed the part where Monique wrote...

Devil’s Advocate:

Enlisted officers need food stamps and veterans can’t get the help they need, but a military parade nobody needs and is a waste of money and resources is a fine idea.

I wish I could find the whole skit to post.

Because this country has never been a country of merit, but of optics and narrative. As long as it looks a certain way and the right words have been chosen, people will tow the line and do what is expected of them. Jobs and certain economic/social benefits are often given by way of nepotism and favoritism, but as long…

If that was the case, then the Little Rock Black Police Officers Association. would not exist and Chief Buckner’s effort to suppress them would have been a success.

But JC-Sean,

Doesn’t matter if it’s a hard “er” or soft “a”, the history, malice, and intent to define and keep us as subhuman cannot be taken away from the word. We do have the right to dictate who says the word and who doesn’t and I won’t condemn no black man or woman for saying it, but all the same, I’m waiting for the day when…

Chief Buckner, the guy who suspended both black officers, is black.

Pastor speaks in tongues, and the congregation can’t understand. So the pastor damns them, blames them for going to Hell because if they were holy already, then they’d understand.

Fair enough. Have a good weekend.
