Capitalism is great until it comes time to pay the bill.

Then socialism is necessary to clean up the mess.

Ask our farmers.

Franklin would be painted a communist for social security and the new deal.

Theodore would be called a progressive for wanting to create nationally protected lands.

Eisenhower would be a progressive for raising taxes on the wealthy.

Reagan would a progressive for giving amnesty to immigrants.

The Republican Party of their era would view Trump as a dictator.

I was pointing out Clown lied and claimed I said something I never did.

Then you admit I was telling the truth in #271, and go on to further prove my point.

Self awareness is not your strong suit.

The oligarch and pedophile party has billions on hand.

The Trump family have stollen billions from Americans.

Not sure what Turds is trying to prove.

thats something I would say.

Lie all you want.

It's what you're good at.

You were a major opponent of marriage equality.

You literally said homosexuals were expecting too much from society and we'd learn our lesson.

I'm just saying nobody gives a ----

We're not in disagreement about what people do or don't give a ---- about.

Clearly both parties get paid by the private prison complex.

Neither party wants to be branded soft on crime.

It's not something that will change.

It's been justified, legalized, codified.

Thats why systemic racism is a problem and the fact so many black men are in prison isn't an accident.

I'm not always sure whether I'm gay or straight, or liberal or conservative.

Me too. Thanks for highlighting this.

BullJohnson hates gay marriage and posted on numerous threads about how gay marriage is destroying heterosexual marriage and is an affront to Christianity, Christians and the Church.

He abhors transgenders and is a raging xenophobe.

Not to mention the fact 99% of his posts regurgitate rightwing talking points, misinformation, propaganda and lies.

As for sexual orientation. There are bisexuals, homosexuals who marry the women in order to appear heterosexual, heterosexuals who sleep with men and deny they're bisexual/homosexual, heterosexual men who sleep with transgender women who identify heterosexual ... and that doesn't even begin to cover it.

Does it matter? Apparently so.

and you can't sell that as slavery.

What are you talking about?

-The concept of "slavery through incarceration" in America refers to how the legal system historically and presently extracts forced labor from imprisoned individuals, a practice legally permitted by a constitutional loophole.

That doesn't make it okay for noncitizens to be registered to vote and actually vote in our elections

Poor person votes in an election.

Republicans lose their minds.

Another country buys our politicians and legislates in their favor.

Business as usual.

Biden had never been President when he removed the classified material. So, what bothers you now?
#13 | POSTED BY LFTHNDTURDS

Was he vice president? Member of Congress?

Were they documents he had been given or documents he stole?

Did he return them when asked?

Did several Russians meet with him in private while he had those files?

Is it wrong for people who were/ are presidents, Vice presidents or members of Congress to keep classified documents at their home?

Trump Says WH Ordered 250 Cadillac Escalades

A Cadillac?

Couldn't think of a better car for a Welfare Queen like Trump.

Cyclospora Outbreak Not Under Control Yet

Why would it be under control?

Trump couldn't care less about Americans dying in the thousands from COVID.

What makes you think he cares whether Americans are getting diarrhea?

Over 400 of these noncitizens have voted since 2023

400! All in the same election in the same town, city or province!?

The can easily take over a group of 399!

Trump did win in 2020!

BullBringer has cracked the case of Encyclopedia Brown and the Bewildered Orange Man.

Biden kept volumes of notes at his home that included classified information

Is it wrong for presidents to keep classified documents at their home?

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."

Incarcerated workers generally do not get a real choice, facing mandatory job assignments, lack of labor protections, and punishment if they refuse.

I am distinguishing between my legal view and my personal preference

They're one and the same.

You vote based on your personal preference.

You've shown time and again to be immune to facts.

equating it to "slavery" is a tough sell

Prisoners are used as free labor.

Private prisons profit.

What would you call that, indentured servitude?

Give me AIPAC over CAIR any day.

You judge people based on which imaginary deity their parents raised them to believe in?

Fascinating.

Recognizing slavery existed and condemning slavery is the appropriate response.

Recognizing slavery still exists and the prison industrial complex is benefiting from it needs to happen.

I kind of think the world gives us a pass for that one.

The world gives America a pass for slavery too.

Slavery will always be our original sin.

Slavery?

Not the genocide of the native population?

If Iran wants to starve the world, let them drink sand.

Hey stupid.

If Trump hadn't attacked Iran at the behest of Netanyahu, none of this would be happening.

I understand it hurts you to accept we're in this situation because Trump is an idiot and Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac.

But it's not really a good look to cheer on the people who are carrying out a genocide and destroying America for profit.

I'm not sure I can accurately explain how Los Angeles works.

My best summary is it's a city run by a conglomeration.

From the googs:

"In Los Angeles, responsibility for infrastructure is split among the city, Los Angeles County, the State of California, utilities, and other agencies. A deteriorating road, sidewalk, or bridge may not be maintained by the same entity, which can complicate repairs."

This was recently highlighted during the mayoral primaries, where people were trying to explain if Spencer Pratt won, he wouldn't be able to do much because of how this web of government entities functions.

So. Fixing a pipeline would need the cooperation of the city of Los Angeles, the city of West Hollywood, Los Angeles county, the state government and the utility company to accomplish fixing one pipeline that was built around a hundred years ago.

Exploiting stupid people seems to be.

Gawd damn awful.
