We all know he is dapshit, lol.

Why quote him then?
I used to read comments, I believe lots of people do too. You people get drawn by continuous mentions and you continue in a circle for the whole day.

If y'all don't stop this attitude, I will make this thread unbearable for you.

I am talking to you, salford1, ibime, wirinet, feedthenation, and co.

We are all allowed to have opinions. I keep saying I think because I am not in a position to speak as an expert.

I still think they are overcharging

Of course you are allowed to think and have opinions, but when you are presented with facts and knowledge you ought to be able to learn and adjust. And if you don't or can't or won't, those more knowledgeable and intelligent than you will form the opinion that you are retarded or stupid or unwilling to learn and they will treat you with the according disregard.

I quote him because of my undying hope that he is not as lost a cause as he seems to be and can learn when taught. Yes I am aware that the evidence does not support this view and he is very lost indeed, still he does provide an opportunity to present facts, and to be honest, I think he knows not to insult buda because he very rarely does.

Besides, someone's dying advise to me was, "forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing", and it is very obvious to me that this particular person does not know what he talks about.

Still, I hope I do not do the "attitude" you speak of because I will not like me if I did.

We are all guilty of that. We are all unwilling to learn.

Not true. And very like what many say to justify their own ignorant bad behaviour.

There is no reason why you should follow those who are unwilling to learn when those who learn and that you can learn from obviously do exist.

Biden setting up a supreme court commission to weigh court expansion,term limits and others very nice.

Conservatives crying Merrick Garland and Amy covid Barrett comes to mind
I support that term/age limits as applicable in many countries Judges should not be given life time appointments what is someone above 80 still doing at the Bench?Even in Nigeria you resign at 70.

When Conservatives want to cry like Mitt Romney just did on Twitter remind them that Moscow Mitch blocked 110 Obama nominees to the Bench and made Trump quickly fill over 200 seats with mostly quack Male white men that does not reflect Americas diversity from one federalist society or so
Remind them that the filibuster is not part of the constitution neither is the number of justices that should fill the courts the circuit court was expanded so can the supreme court
The Dems gotta act like the GQP here and fill available seats Biden is already doing just that the senate should confirm and waste no time.Justice Breyer should resign let Biden fill his seat no RBG 2.0 again.Some judges waited till Biden was sworn in before retiring they were appointed during the Bush and Clinton presidency.
Moscow Mitch,Romney and others are already crying at the thought of a commission.
I also read that since the time of Carter or so Dem Presidents have appointed only 4 justices to the supreme court and they win the popular votes while GQP Presidents have appointed over 10.The last 5 GQP justices to the supreme court were appointed by Presidents who did not win the popular votes(majority will) and confirmed by a Senate that does not represent the population of the majority when you compare the states democratic and RepubliQan senators represent.

There is need for a reform truly.

[s]Well, today we saw your friend who was saying hunter biden bombshell was fakenews despite photo evidence. We saw the former intelligence officers in agreement with the media to spread the lies that the stories are Russian disinformation. We saw twitter suspending new york post and suspend anyone that shares the link to the story.

All that and y'all still believe the leftwing media are legit grin

Hunter himself has admitted it is his laptop and salford1 is saying well he is not in government office. Hunter business with Ukraine and China involves his dad.that is the point[/s]

Do you understand what I did there? I just suspended your pointless rant of an excuse for your refusal to learn!

It's not poijtless. It is just our bias. You hate the right I hate the left and we tend not to accept fact. Nothing is pointless in what I said. Remove bias and be neutral then we can both learn from each other. We are just here wasting our time.

I don't hate the right. It's ignorance and stupidity that I hate, right and left, just that you rights on here have gone magaright and noting is more deplorable.

Grab 'em by the pussy and peddlers of alternative facts have nothing I can possibly profit from learning except why and how not to become like you.

Gladly. This ended well with the Lieutenant not getting shot. Good idea he also pulled over into a well lit location.

One would need a manual to act/behave around US police officers if pulled over for a simple traffic stop.


First, pulled over for no plates, but they were on the car and visible to the cop before he pulled his gun.

How would a layman reach for his seatbelt without knowing that he needs to inform the officer of what he is about to do with his hands in the air. The officers could think one is reaching for a weapon with the tense atmosphere.

Disgusting! I doubt I'd last a week in a country where its assumed okay to talk to people like they are dogs! Civilised UK has conditioned me to not take that sort of crap from anyone and it seems popo in America would just fill one with lead!

I am 100% in support of the stupid filibuster should be removed. as in that is stupid and foolish. It is Democracy and a simple Majority should be in place not looking for another extra Majority. Be you Republican or Democrat in power.

And as for the Supreme court,As long as it is amendable and within the ambit of the Law,I support it 100%..

What you and Salford1 are saying is just ignorant. You can't be in your houses and think policing is about typing on your keyboards


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI0tFbhaP0Q

When people don't comply or stop the moment you stop them you have every reason as a cop to be suspicious. Plates or no plates police has the right to make a random stop. They could stop him if his plates is not at the right place in the car. He is in the army does not exempt him from following police orders

all you have to do is search officers killed during traffic stops and you will see endless list of videos.

American intelligence agency is so corrupt and weak. It was easy for Putin to poison someone in the UK it won't be hard for him to poison Joe if the FBI and CIA has become woke and leftist hacks. The united states is a joke

See, I enjoy when you quote yourselves expressing facts, not when it turns out to be an arguement that upsets readers because facts are twisted.
Can you send how the death of Floyd is being twisted?
What the world saw on live camera is been twisted.

Come on bro, you can forgive and not mention.

If you want to mention and discuss please quote amazon, wirinet, or salford1 or ibime or myself or even you.

I'm already getting emotional with the way these people are twisting facts against Floyd's death.

My question is, why is it that majority of those in the police killing blacks are white cops?

You should not get emotional on NL. You just won't survive long if you do.

White cops kill blacks because of their bias and blatant disregard for blacks and the fact that they've been getting away with it for years. I'm glad Black lives now matter a bit more, and the more black votes the more black will matter.

Going by this video, I don't know what happened after this, but going by what I watched, I don't blame the police officers in this instance.
One could see that the black veteran severely tested their patience.
You all have to understand that being a police officer in a fully armed country is very risky and many instances like these have lead to unnecessary deaths of the officers.

Unlike britain or canada, america has a staggering gun culture and drug culture that encourages the ownership of guns and many at times, many of these gun owners being high or drunk leading to soo many highly charged and tense situations.
The vet could have easily obeyed orders at the first instance and clarify whatever situation caught their attention.

Furthermore, this has nothing to do with race\racism. The vet could easily have also been white and it will still be tensed. We sometimes shouldn't be quick to attach the racism card to every single incident between white and black people.

No one is forcing you to read post or you don't pay anyone to post. If you can't accept the fact that they can respond to whoever they want then leave. You don't own them.

Stop behaving like a baby and leave. If they don't like being here they won't be here. Everyone one can have their own opinion, interpret fact how they please and still discuss. If they don't enjoy the discussion or see it as a waste of time they will leave. Stop acting like own someone.

Some humans are too wicked.What annoys me is that most educated ones who are supposed to operate in civilized manner are acting like those who live in caves.
I wonder how people like that have peace within their souls.

Finally we agree on something. They feel it is always good to follow popular opinion. The police gave a lawful order. Follow it. The car is tinted, for two cops to be at the scene with different squad cars in means something must have happened we don't know.

A lot of videos of cops getting killed when they ask for drivers licence or suspect shoots at them as they approach the car.

Where I live they'd be blamed for assuming guilt and danger and for creating a situation by not being civil, but I guess the right to carry guns makes cops see people as guilty and dangerous until proven otherwise over there.

Shows the society has problems, to me.
