  1. The national news latching onto it like a pit bull is one thing, but what about the massive resources devoted to white women vs ethnic women?

     

    I wonder what a black family in Detroit who’s daughter has gone missing say a year ago feels when all this effort is put into a missing white girl? And all they get from the cops is that they are still looking into it…maybe she’ll show up one way or another. 
     

    The list of white girls is extensive. Patty Hearst, Jon Benet Ramsey, Elizabeth Smart, I’m sure I’m missing a few. How many ethnic women have made national news to any real extent?

  2. Gabby story all over the news, relentless search by local, state and FBI. amateur detectives tracing her path, even locating van. Now the Fiancé is missing and all agencies are combing a massive swamp with a fine tooth comb…no expense or resources spared!

    Black or brown woman goes missing and maybe it makes the local news for a day or two, and maybe a follow up on a lead by the local yocals…just an observation on my part.

    If he called his Chinese counterpart without informing the president, it absolutely is treason.  His role and jurisdiction is strictly advisory to the president and he doesnt have the authority to make that call.

    Treason is only applicable during declared time of war. We are neither at war with China nor are they listed as an enemy. They are however an adversary in terms of competing for financial and military status. Read the UCMJ refs and rules.

    No, what the saying means is, said man does what he does thinking he is doing something to help others but, is too stupid to see that his actions aren’t helping at all at best, at worse, just causing harm.

    Like I said, an easy cop out blanket statement that some will use to do nothing.

    And yes a world War is much diff than catching a covid 

    Signed up or drafted they rose to the call of duty to serve their nation.  Fascism and Covid are very similar as in its not just the catching of the ideology or virus, it’s the unmitigated spread of either. one poisons the brain while the other poisons the body,  and don’t make any mistake, they both want to destroy.

    This doesn’t make any sense when replying to my post.

    Are you saying your opinion is just as valid as other’s here?  If so, I agree.

    I just wasn’t ready to go down the “do gooder” rabbit hole. I’ve had to walk that walk way to long to just be judged by my words and opinions although, for the most part that’s all I have left. 
     

    As far as the Truman, FDR statement, I think it is a cop out on their part that others use to suppress others actions to hopefully do good, and try to discount it…and that is sad.

    Oh, adorable!  You are a good person for sure!  A cut above.

    Except this: you are actively advocating taking freedom away for reasons that aren’t yours.  You think you are being a “good person” and working on behalf of “the greater good” but you are not.  Leave others alone.  Let them make their own path unless they ask you for your assistance.  I know you think you mean well though.

    I think it was either Truman or FDR that said, “About the worst thing you can say about another man is that he means well.”

    I hope I don’t need to break that statement down for you…..but I have a feeling….

     

     

     

    So why is this forum and these discussions even taking place?  It’s a two way street with those expressing their views on either side. If it was one sided, or if of only one mindset, it would be akin to talking to a mirror…but it’s obviously not. 

  7. So what some are saying is if an end of life brain cancer patient contracts Covid and dies prematurely, it’s shouldn’t be a Covid death??

    What if said same patient were being transported in an ambulance and a semi blows through a stoplight and kills that same patient. What killed him, the crash or the cancer??

    My belief is both the semi and the Covid are the equivalent and are the actual cause of death. 

  8. Did you really read the excerpt. Milley demanded that the established process be followed to a tee. And that process included him amongst many other checks and balances. Milleys concern was that Trump may try to go outside the procedure and process, hence the statement of the potential for a president going “rouge”. Sounds like Milley wanted everything by the absolute book. That’s not treason.

    There are 40+ candidates for CA governor.  The winner doesn't even need to come close to getting the majority of the votes.  If the D vote is spread around and Rs rally behind Elder, he can definitely win.  RCP average has Elder up 27 points.  Nothing is over until the votes are counted and results certified.  See below.

    Sure thing.

    It’s a two part vote. As long as 51% vote “no” on recall, Newsome stays. Doesn’t matter what the other candidates do.
