I will when I am ready.

salford1:
I would rather watch paint dry than engage him.
But Buddha always try to teach lol.

wirinet:
I was talking about court openings that occurred during the time of Obama. Mitch McConnell led Senate refused hearings for the judges because they control the Senate. The opening did not occur during Trump nor if Hillary had won. The opening belonged to Obama.

I never said there was a law that says you cannot a court openings that occurred one day to the end of an administration, what I am saying is that it is bad faith to say you cannot screen judges 1 year to elections because it is not to your advantage and then turn around and say there is no law that says you cannot fill an opening within 3 weeks of an election.

The other side too will be in majority one day and they too will pay back in bad faith.

salford1:
Only if budaatum would ignore and not reply the poster above typing rubbish about how cops are to relate with the public.

wirinet:
That is a very dangerous proposition. You are now telling me that if a party ever achieve super majority, then that party is justified to use that super majority to act in bad faith. One can now appreciate the Republican party under Ronald Reagan who had super majority and controlled all branches of government, but never alienated or cheated the democrats.

wirinet:
False! The Republicans under Mitch McConnell stole a Democrat Supreme Court opening and handed it over to Trump with an excuse that it was too close to elections even though the elections was 1 year away. But they confirmed a Supreme Court opening just 3 weeks to elections.

When you cheat because you are in power, your opponent would also cheat when they get to power. The cycle continues until the whole system crashes.

happney65:
If they wanted to pack it and make it more the current 9,Trump would have done it.. Yes,They filled Ruth's opening within weeks but it is still within the ambit of the current 9 justices as long as Trump was still president.

There is no law that stated the opening cannot be filled within an election year despite the GOP saying otherwise during Obama's own. Even if an opening comes up after the election that Trump lost,he can still fill the seat.

I don't support packing,but I support age and term limits.

salford1:
The army guy was screwed whichever way.
After the plates become clearly visible at the gas station, the cops could have just run his plate number instead of jumping out of their vehicles with guns pulled and creating a tense atmosphere.

I found it quite painful to watch.

happney65:
Yes,The reform should be age or term limits something like its done in Nigeria. I don't 100% support packing it. but term and age limit should be done. In that regard, Dems and Republicans won't be able to play full blown politics with the supreme court.

khiaa:
The question is, Why did Yah sacrifice his son to save the world instead of killing Satan with the wave of his hand? This isn't about a sacrifice but an extermination of an evil Deity. Why would Yah send Satan to the pits of Hell instead of destroying him? I have always questioned this as well. Food for thought.

raumdeuter:
A repeal of the amendments might not be possible but full background checks and mental evaluation for potential gun owners can be done. Make it harder for sick people to get guns.

Also consider that those countries do not have a border with a cartel run country so getting illegal guns will be harder than in US

raumdeuter:
Just set up commission to placate the people who want it, Doing it is setting a very dangerous precendent

raumdeuter:
Not only Nigeria, Even Mecca or Vatican if they have more guns than people will be like America

Do you know how many times people get very angry at the next person and after a cold beer they just forget it and move on?
Its part of life to be very angry and to calm down later.
Do you know how many times people play soccer or any sport, felt robbed and feel like killing the other team or referee, but later they just calm down and move on with life

But when guns are in the mix there are some people we all have met in life who have explosive personalities, Imagine that one with a gun

TruthinAction:
We are borrowing because we have brainless leaders. Give me this country to rule, other nations will borrow from us.

raumdeuter:
America is not the only country where racism exists, Its not the only place where different races co-exist in same place rather its the place where there are more guns than everywhere else.

The election was conducted by mail, a concession to the pandemic. Instead of holding an election over just a few days, workers had more than a month to complete and mail in their ballots, which were due on March 29.

donjazet:
The fact that we both agree on this gives me cause for concern. Its almost like I'm very ashamed of that.
This would be my last reply to you ever.

You must know that i am not minimizing racism in the US. Racism is very alive and kicking in the US.
I am very surprised that nobody here have posted the very racist interview tucker carlson gave yesterday. It was almost like he was quoting hitler's mein kempt word for word.
Tucker carlson and fox have now succeeded in normalizing and mainstreaming far right extremism such that people are no longer shocked when they do it.

Yesterday, tucker boldly adopted the very white supremacist "replacement theory" and very few people budged about this because they are so used to it. This is a racist theory adopted by hitler's nazism being streamlined and you have black coons like yourself cheering him on when his beliefs run counter to your own welfare and safety.

LordReed:
There is. A growing lack of trust between the police and the citizenry fuelled by other social problems like lack of good mental health care, lack of good social safety nets not to even add on the prevalence of guns. Its a gordian knot wrapping itself tighter with each event like this.

donjazet:
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.

Livelystone01:
The USA used to be a beacon of hope, what happened?

Livelystone01:
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?

salford1:
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.

Omooba77:
For how long we are going to borrow?

Brideofdickoln1:
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.

Brideofdickoln1:
[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

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]

Brideofdickoln1:
We are all guilty of that. We are all unwilling to learn.

Livelystone01:
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.

Brideofdickoln1:
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
