Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell, will NOT allow senators to vote on and or bring to the floor a bipartisan bill for "universal background checks". Just a typical everyday POS Republitard.

2020 presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said she is “looking at” supporting other candidates in their calls to decriminalize illegal U.S. border crossings but that she is concerned such a policy would lead to open borders.
“That’s something that I’m looking at,” Gabbard told the hosts on ABC’s “The View” on whether she supports the policy. “I think decriminalizing could lead to open borders. We need safe, secure borders in this country.”

Someone aligns shooter's manifesto with tweets from politicians.
The next time someone says that the El Paso shooter wasn’t motivated by Trump and company, I’m not going to say anything besides “look at this for three minutes.”Of course he was. He just turned 21. That means when Trump was elected he was around 18. When he was running and spewing hatred he was 16 and 17. Is he telling me he cultivated his entire political ideology as a Sophomore in high school?
- he used the most vile word racist word to describe my people, "Hispanic" how could anyone associate us with the conservative Cuban voting block of Florida!?!robotron3k

- Yeah, that last comment of yours is one of the dumbest things you've ever said. This dude was racist and scared, and shot up a Walmart for xenophobic reasons.garbage
- Also: "I can see where his fear was coming from." Seriously dude? You just threw out sympathy for a murderer.garbage
- hot garbage you admit he was scared as im saying. so why? and no fear is not do to "racism." so why?********
- and don't go and assume in looking for understanding or even acknowledging causes as sympathy. those 2 things are far different********
- why would pro immigration policy scare anyone, deathboy, unless they were racist and that racism was fueled by a false fear narrative fueled by the right?monospaced
- You argue racism is natural and we should sympathize with this kid because he had racist thoughts and was scared of immigrants after watching FOX News? gfymonospaced
- no mono you are saying that. Immigration policy is not a big deal in small amounts. But Texas on the border is different. Large amounts mean drastic changes********
- which means large uncertainty and fears. Introduce 5% per year in NYC and see what happens. Look at europe. Fear and change from what we cant********

- the easiest target is the ones highlighted everyday and that is behind a racial motif. now some people may truely embrace it and develop hate based on race********

- little it has to deal with race, and that its merely focused incorrectly. and helping young kids with little perspective of life being fed so much race bait********
- deal with fear and change and perspectives may do far more good than the knee slap reactions we see towards guns and everything unrelated********
- its quite comical. oh and by the way "racism" by definition isnt natural. made up term. fear of culture differences is natural. being different. wanting to fit********
- in is highly natural and popular. if different skin tones or races shared same cultures you dont see racism. the idea is so pathetic********
- and if you want to do society a favor get rid of it. Peoples fears of others have little to do with skin color or race.********

- You're rambling, so I'm gonna keep my response simple.garbage
- 1. My link proves that there's nothing to actually fear, because "culture shock" is a racist dogwhistle.garbage
- 2. People died needlessly as a result of racist fear as a result of the current administration's deployment of stochastic terrorism.garbage
- 3. Before you throw out "if I have to spell it out" as an insult, you might want to learn how to spell.garbage
- 4. I'm done talking to a wall. We will always disagree. Don't hurt people. Seek help.garbage
- 1. it doesn't do that. can you explain what in the link proves that? a direct example, study, anything that fear is unrelated to racism?********
- neither discuss term culture shock or racist dog whistle...again they don't really discuss anything im talking about.********

- since is killing people funny? no this isn't joke nor is share stuff. it might seem pointless to nit pick intentions of things********
- but all intentions of this has little to do with humor. and consistently i see such type stuff from whatthefunk and wonder is it his humor or another motive.********
- does he get off on upvotes... i guess ppl could but seems so fuckin retarded... or someone we know who had fun from another perspective********
- The context is only getting lost on you as far as I can tell. You're the only one who seems to be upset about it.T-Dawg
- Killing people is not the butt of the joke, the hypocritical proposal of racial profiling coming from a black male is essentially what the joke turns around.T-Dawg
- As for intent, I think you mistake this site for some offshoot liberal 8chan, when the reality is probably somewhere closer to the mundane.T-Dawg
- omfg, deathboy, the guy who posted this OBVIOUSLY sees the hypocrisy, and that's the entire point of his post, ffs. Are you so dense you don't get ANY jokes? fumonospaced
- if you can't see the humor, you have serious fucking issues, way worse than your ability to write or speak, which are already godawful. holy fuck you're weird.monospaced

- lol death, I'm not sure if you've noticed this about yourself, but you like like to twist threads into these giant claims.T-Dawg
- Where your ego can hide behind unfalsifiability. A place where you also don't have to provide any proof for the claims you make.T-Dawg
- And the questions you ask are loaded with the same nature, but are attempts to shift the burden of proof.T-Dawg
- I appreciate that you're courteous, but otherwise your conversations are a bit repetitive, as you always fall back on this pattern.T-Dawg
- unfalsifiable claim --> deflect conversation to broader topic --> shift burden of proofT-Dawg
- It's all ego brother, and this is an easy formula to feel like you 'win' a conversation. You don't always have to have the last word.You can let some of 'em go.T-Dawg
- did you ask for proof of a claim that i missed? Just scrolled back and didn't see any question?********
- It's not deflect to broader topic. its getting bored in that the topic never develops. original topic was if a white poster showed 3 black men looking********
- similar in robbing or homicide, how would that playout? The question went unanswered and defense of topic was its satire and funny.********

- probably fit your win model better, or some sort of ego chaser. Or just a person who knows lil how to think and only feel and needs a release********

- who knows ppl strange creatures, with out language and the way we utilize it to falsely perceive the world. logical fallicies not an issue with beasts********
- Your answers are very similar to the way I would answer things years ago. I would rationalize a positive personality trait, unaware it was negative emotions.T-Dawg
- Had you left it my last comment unanswered, I would have given you the benefit of the doubt and thought 'this guy gets it'.T-Dawg
- Why do you have to answer every thread last? Why can't you let things go? Why did you feel the need to come back to and to prove me wrong? To defend your ego.T-Dawg
- I don't matter. I'm just another guy typing on the internet. It's not work ethic that keeps you coming back, it's pride (in the negative sense).T-Dawg
- I found your 'beasts' comment interesting because it made me think of my friend.T-Dawg
- He'll do the exact same thing when feeling cornered or confronted. He makes some absurdist or grandiose nihilistic statement.T-Dawg
- He does this to devalue the discussion and pivot out of the conversation. What does anything matter anyways right?T-Dawg
- Fallacies matter because one can't have a rational discussion if one party is being irrational. Otherwise you just have to expect to not reach an understanding.T-Dawg
- And thus the threads go on and on :)T-Dawg
- Hmm... you said before I had no proofs to claims I didn't know I made and went on about hiding behind egos or twists. Perhaps that is better.********
- to evaluate. Why are you so concerned about me responding or last word? Do you think i came back and proved you wrong?********
- I speculate certain claims are less tangible and more emotional feelings. Can you solidify a claim to establish a base?********

What's happening in Hong Kong reminds me of how much I dislike the complacency of Canada.
We are so very anti confrontational; with each other, with government, etc. etc. etc.
Hong Kong is crippling their airport/economy in numbers.
I'm sure no one WANTS this to happen, BUT sometimes things get uncomfortable because they have to.

"And after refunds, the IRS collected about $93 billion more from individual American taxpayers than it did in 2017. Interestingly, that number stands close to the tax break amount that corporations received from the TCJA in 2018.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg had an awkward campaign trail encounter Tuesday with a woman in Iowa who told him she once met the late-Robert F. Kennedy.
The Democrat was campaigning at the Iowa State Fair when a woman approached him and said she met Kennedy in 1968, according to a tweet from a CNN producer.
“I shook Robert Kennedy’s hand in 1968,” the woman told him.
Buttigieg responded: “So you’re good luck?”
“Not really— he was shot a month later,” the woman said.
