The rest of my community has it worse than I do. (I’m white in a predominantly black neighborhood)

When I was 21 (33 years ago), someone broke into my apartment and stole my wallet (and all of my money, as I had just move and did not yet have an account). I knew who it was and I reported it. I was told there was nothing they could do.

When I was about 27, I was at home with my two young sons and a male started…

What do you think my experience is about? Been there, tried that. No help.

It’s the friggin’ OathKeepers. They’ve recruited heavily in the military and law enforcement.

Add bio-terrorism and reckless endangerment to their sedition, rioting, inciting, and espionage charges, I guess.

More than cops? Yes. I know enough doctors personally not to assume they are always in it for purely the right reasons (there is a fair bit of money, prestige and presumed nobility associated with medicine), but there are definitely easier ways to make more money that don’t benefit humanity nearly as much. What is…

Tbf, Yang has exactly one idea, and it's only sort of progressive.

You were talking about assumptions. Just like I don’t assume a root canal will be pleasant, I don’t assume a cop necessarily has good intentions. I don’t think discussions of who is evil and who isn’t are necessarily useful (eg, is half the country evil or not — they voted for that fucker regardless of intention) so…

Lol, I mean, sorry buddy. You made a claim and I disputed it with evidence. You’re a lawyer, right? You ought to know better than to make claims without evidence because, among other things, making facially suspect, evidence-free claims, renders the rest of your argument suspect to your audience.

Aso the officers that were dragged and beat by the mob. The 15 officers that required hospitalizations.

Andrew Yang is “running” on UBI with intentionally no mention of how it relates to government assistance and Medicare expansion. If an extra $1,000 or $2,000 pushes somebody over the eligibility threshold, they no longer receive those benefits. This is in contrast to people like Sanders who want M4A or Warren who…

Sure hope each and every one of those traitorous cops will forever picture the faces of the officer who was bludgeoned by a fire hydrant and the officer who committed suicide each and every night before they go to sleep. I hope and pray they never find peace again!

I don’t mean it as a purity test, but I think (as luneauchocolat put it upthread) politicians should be held to a higher standard. Optics matter.

It was super classy that she mentioned the insurrectionists by name before the police. 

That’s a fair point. Politicians should be held to a higher standard, and the optics of owning multiple properties (which is unaffordable and unattainable for most folks) - especially if you’re on a government salary - are not good, to say the least.

Freeze all of Trump’s assets as well. God knows she hasnt done anything in 20 years to earn anything after lying on her Visa application and marrying the first rich douchebag she found

If you claim to be “for the people” — or at least economically progressive — but own a second home, I will always side-eye you a little bit. I get it! Various members of my extended family own lake houses and the like (from 4-room cottages to two-story luxury remodels) and it’s SO nice to be able to escape. But if you…

Salacious? That’s rich, coming from a gold-digging ex-escort.

Did they find a place already. They can't move into their club. There is a 1993 agreement when the changed the mansion into a club and the Trumps can't live at Mar a Lago.

Our path forward is to come together, find our commonalities, and be the kind and strong people that I know we are.
