No. It wasn't. That's the false claim made by a stupid parent. That's really as stupid as saying any movie about the cruxifician of Jesus is somehow anti Semetic. Some Jews absolutely participated in the crucifician of Jesus. Others were horrified by it. (Like pretty much of of Jesus followers were Jewish). Similarly there were white people during the Civil Rights era that were helping to end segregation. Like all of the white men that walked Ruby Bridges to school. Okay. So ban teaching about World War I and II because that might make German and Japanese people feel uncomfortable. And teach about the founding documents, but cut out the Revolutionary War and rthe War of 1812 because it might offend British people. In fact don't teach history at all. Just teach that founding documents exist. (Don't give any context). And of course you can't teach about the Civil War. Good grief are conservatives really such snowflakes? Our country did just fine the past 50+ years without trying to erase history. I get it. We don't want BS being taught like there are 27 genders. But this idea that teaching actual history is somehow a problem is just stupid beyond belief. I went to an overwhelmingly white school in the 1970s and when freaking Roots came out, and everybody watched it because there were like 4 channels including PBS and Roots was the biggest thing on, it caused ZERO PROBLEMS for my white friends. In fact at school the next day they were talking about "Y'all almost won that rebellion on the slave ship until they brought that cannon out." We were all 9 at the time. And this was in the deep South. Kids aren't that damn fragil. And what was my biggest takeway from Roots? When I saw the black slave catchers who kidnapped Kunta Kente at the beginning I realized that not all black people back then were my people's friends. And when I saw the poor white family help the blacks fight back against the klan after slavery I realized not all white people back then were my people's enemies. You have to be VERY low IQ to see Roots or Ruby Bridges and think it's about "how bad whitey is."

There is nothing "woke" or "garbage" about a brave little girl intergrating a school. Edit: And there's no legitimate reason to want to stop "race inclusive teaching."

Oh I remember Mohammed Ali fighting. I never saw Tyson fight prime time though because that was pay per view by then.

When I was a child I was glued to our TV set for the Olympics from the opening ceremonies to the closing. I even watched sports I didn't give a crap about like equestrian. Winter or summer it didn't matter. Bob Costas and Bryant Gumble were my gudes to this world of wonder. Now...? I might watch some highlights on YouTube.

If you are just dead set on a governor then at least go with one that isn't so dead set against the first amendment. Hard no on Desantis. I'd take Kristi Noem with her puppy killing self first. At least she's decent to look at.

I keep wondering that over and over.

Hmmm....interesting. From the story there are several laws the protestors could be prosecuted under without having a specific flag burning law: Protesters took down an American flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag and at one point burned the U.S. flag before someone ran into the crowd and snatched it away. Theft of federal property, disorderly conduct, and violation of the federal riot statute. And that would be true if these were right wing protests who stole a Palestinian flag and set it on fire in the middle of the street. But if somone buys a flag with his own money and sets it on fire on his own property, as long as he isn't violating and burning ordinance, that should be legal.

I 100% agree with you about the video! And I like what they were doing with the website. Fauci absolutely needs to be prosecuted. The most damning evidence against Fauci is that in 2012 he said that if a pandemic resulted from GOF research it was still "worth it." That quote alone plus the fact that he funded GOF should be enough for a crimes against humanity conviction. Watch this to understand Dr. Fauci.

Part of the Constitution includes freedom of speech last time I checked. But hey, if you want to support Desantis in 2028 go for it.

This wasn't a cut. It was a tear. I've never had a chunk of skin removed from my body and it didn't start bleeding immediately. And if it's this tiny "paper cut" like injury, why the big ass bandage?

DeSantis is a moron. Anybody who thinks children shouldn't learn about Ruby Bridges is not fit to be president. And while he didn't personally ban the film, he pushed for laws which opened the door for it and then when that became and issue he didn't stand up and say "That's obviously not what the law is for." But someone could say "DeSantis has found his place as governor of Florida so let him stay there."

Why are you surprised? Trump's weakness is his ego. Bibi Netanyahu played to Trump's ego.

:rollleyes: dannno This is what SS said. You can judge for yourself. The SS doctrine is a president can only be impeached for crimes someone claims he committed that were not official acts

Very interesting. But unfortunately the website referenced www.prosecutenow.io is not up. You can find it at the web archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20230324115831/https://prosecutenow.io/ It seems the last time it was live was January 6, 2024.

Yeah...it jams sometimes and other times people go through a 30 round mag dump without a malfunction. Both happened when Colin Noir tested it. Here are my thoughts on the Glock switch. It proves Whoopi Goldberg to be an even greater idiot for arguing with Rand Paul that she was against "fully automatic" assault rifles but that her "Glock" should be legal when the Glock and the AR are both semiautomatic guns that with the right parts can be made fully auto.

And if the psychic friends hotline could just give me the winning lottery numbers I would be a millionaire.

Right. I know that. You know that. Even he knows that. But his argument is, that anything (kinda sorta not really) that the President does as an "official duty" is by definition not a high crime or misdemeanor. And yes. He's wrong. Multiple people told him that multiple times. But yeah. Impeachment is the way to hold presidents accountable for acts that they do as president that they may be able to claim criminal immunity from. Obama could have been impeached for murdering Anwar Al Awlaki. He can't be criminally tried for that.

He would have been a good RNC speaker. So would Colin Noir.

That the RNC did a piss poor job at black voter outreach. I'm not sure who was impressed by Amber Rose. The highlight of Tim Scott's speech should have been "We would have had police reform in 2020 if the Democrats hadn't blocked me" and instead it was "American is not racist." And to close it off the RNC played a video that, to me anyway, endorses racism. I bet you a dime to a dollar that Tim Scott wasn't happy about the Ole Miss "monkey noises" video being played at the RNC. And yet in the face of actual Marxism at the RNC you initially seemed unfazed until I pointed out the Marxism multiple times but then you accused some woman you don't know for reasons you have YET to articulate of being Marxist. Seriously, what evidence do you have the black being mocked at Ole Miss for supporting the Palestinians is Marxist? Do you even know her name?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2024/jul/25/fbi-director-questions-bullet-shrapnel-hit-trump-video Okay. I'm not a gun guy. But how could it be anything other than the bullet? Shrapnel? Shrapnel from what? I'm confused.

Well I don't support Larry Elder either. You're not going to win anyone over saying that slave owners were the ones owed reparations. Larry Elder claims to be a Christian right? God had the Hebrews "borrow" from the Egyptians before leaving Egypt knowing that the former slave owners who were then holding the debt would soon be drowned in the Red Sea. (See Exodus 12:36) And I'm not crazy about Clarence Thomas defending his law clerk after it came out that she sent texts saying "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE.". I mean seriously WTF? I do support Tim Scott and openly said if Trump picked him as VP I'd hold my nose and vote for Trump. But funny enough, Tim Scott didn't get much love here at RPF. In fact...I think I'm the only Tim Scott supporter I know. So why should black people in general support someone that Republicans apparently don't support? I and a lot of other black people supported General Colin Powell before Bush ruined his legacy by getting him to push the fake WMD narrative. (I see you didn't have Colin Powell on your list either.) I like J.C. Watts and wish he was running for president instead of Trump (J.C. Watts didn't make your list either). So...you've given me a list of three blacks, two of which are SUS (I mean really? Justice Thomas defending someone who said "I HATE BLACKS"? And I used to defend his ass), and one who apparently nobody likes for reasons I can't fathom. Black Lives Matter hasn't lined up behind her and are calling for a real primary for reasons I can't fathom either. Actually I can. They might actually have some principles. They have gotten some hate on Twitter over this though because their corruption in handling donations was exposed.

The role and or responsibilities of any individual in the administration is as clear cut as the role or responsibilities of any individual in the Trump assassination attempt.
