rfk has such ingrained confirmation bias it would take an exorcism to rid him of it. Hey, fits my narrative must be true, just ask the worm

The telling part is “we’ll never know but we’ll always doubt”. That’s a statement about you, hegseth. That’s prejudice so pronounced that no matter the achievement this guy that doesn’t look like me couldn’t possibly be as good. You can’t fix that, it’s ingrained. It’s who you are, it’s abhorrent

Hegseth is unqualified on many levels, all testosterone seemingly little intellect despite Ivy League credentials.May be fine leading a small combat unit, even then a little thinking is good.He was a major, respectable mid rank officer. Him leading the department is like a private leading a division

They don’t have to worry. It was senators that got Caesar, ours can’t muster up that kinda of commitment

Fire the rangers, let the parks go to ruin, people complain because they aren’t maintained, close the park. Wait the requisite amount of time, not long. At last open park for development, drilling, mining etc.. It’s simple really

Meets all the important criteria, kiss the ring, always say yes sir, never ever have an independent thought or action. Perfect fit in the new kingdom

No, they don’t believe that. It’s just a tool to stir up and anger the ignorant. To create enemies to occupy the ignorant while they carry out their agenda. It’s demagogic sleight of hand if you will. Abhorrent as it is at least it’d be honest if they really believed it.

What women are looking for in men.
1) Men that don’t make offensive stupid lists
2) not a dick: see #1

No disrespect and I fully agree, but this is part of the problem, it’s always what about? It’s like two spoiled children fighting on the playground except with far worse consequences. I wish I had answers but only have observations.

Doesn’t that seem to be a gop goal to make things even harder for the ones it’s already too hard for. Impoverish the ones impoverished, starve the ones hungry, marginalize the most marginalized. The modern gop are manufacturers of misery.

Pete hegseth debunking, now that’s funny. Old dust on my boots wouldn’t know the truth if it crawled up his leg and bit him on the warrior ethos.

We have significant rare earth deposits here.Mining them uses a ton of water that becomes massively contaminated,thus we buy them so others can destroy their environment. Unfortunately the biggest deposits and countries most willing to mine aren’t really our friends.MIC is heavily dependent on these

Thats what it’s about for the masses for sure, money for the powers that be. Gonna be some sad maga faces when they realize the oligarchs have owned us all.

Yep, gop has been laying the foundation of this for a long time. The money behind the party has been sending folks to elite law schools that are now judges and in congress, just needed a meat head willing to do and say anything, lie about everything and along comes trump to fill the role.

Why not leave out the if. Just no tax cuts for billionaires

He’s a truly unlikable person. If you consider what folks like about him it’s his willingness to say and do things to hurt others. He does and says the things they can’t/won’t. No one praises any positive character trait, speaks of his empathy or compassion. He’s simply a bludgeon

I just hope she votes against him. I’m sure his being brown helps. Maybe her sycophancy is less than her racism.

What’s truly sad is in my own unofficial study of who elected this batch of malcontents to run the country it seems to be the maga faithful but also the elderly many of whom’s parent fought in or lived through WW2, wonder what greatest generation would think?

The fact he has to have his own custom maga hat tells you everything you need to know about this dingleberry on the ass of humanity.

I’m no business man by any stretch of the imagine but if my business provides goods and/or services to the public the more people interested the better, right? I don’t think the LGBTQ+ community spends a different currency do they?

I’ll say it again in my 65 years never thought I’d see this. I remember atomic bomb drills in school, long Cold War, 4 years USMC learning to defend against the Russian menace. Now we’ve given em the keys and let em take the country for a spin.

I’d read it just to see what it’s about but I’m afraid I’d come away even dumber than I am. Just the premise seems wildly arrogant in the most juvenile way.

I hate to say it and certainly don’t want to pile onto someone that lost their job, but if they really believed that, well… likely they just thought it would be someone else.

This is an example of how reasonable ideas taken to the extreme become horrendous and damaging.Everyone can get behind efficiency and curtailing excess spending, even secure boarders.The process seems suspect.Killing it then resuscitating the dead body isn’t efficient or effective nor frugal.

That’s a great picture of a beautiful bird. Herons mostly but egrets to a lesser degree are my favorite birds in the wild. It’s so cool to watch one hunt/fish on a quiet piece of water.

I’d love to get Kara’s take on bannon. I think he’s one of the smartest of the bunch also most dangerous/evil. He seems to be an acolyte of “4th turning” the book. I think he’s doing his part to usher that in and just sees trump et al as tools to hurry it along.

..if weaponized it’s been largely by triggered white folks immediately offend instead of thinking. Then making it some racial issue. It’s mostly intrinsic bias and power differential. It exists amongst various groups in all black or all white societies.

Problem with white privilege is it’s triggering. It in no way diminishes the achievement or hard work of white people nor does it place individual blame. It’s simply if everything else is equal it’s a bit harder for a brown person to achieve the same. Bias alone accounts for some. If weaponized (2)

So what is it when you amass troops on another’s border, bomb them and send in those troops. Aggression seems a little pedestrian, invasion is better fitting.

And since you mentioned guilt, I feel no guilt for being white, it just happened. I’m capable of feeling empathy, embarrassment even shame without feeling guilty for an occurrence of birth. Guilt never helped anyone, but my vote and where I spend my money can, so I act accordingly
comment in response to
post
a minority or non white person would have to work a bit harder to achieve the same. Even if you were born poor like me, others intrinsic bias favored you. It’s really incontrovertible
comment in response to
post
Better way to think about it is power differential. Being a member of the group in power confers privilege, relative to ur position in said group. White people have been in power since the US inception thus white privilege. It doesn’t detract from your accomplishments it just means everything equal.
