  1. People need to wake up. The Club of Rome has been planning this since 1974. Research Agenda 21 people.
  2. So, in California, theft of under $950 is charged as a misdemeanor rather than felony. That’s about twice as strict as South Carolina where you can go up to $2000 before it transitions from misdemeanor to felony.
  3. Just because I refrained from getting sucked into your Woolie vortex of tangents doesn’t mean I am ignoring the plight of the cities.
  4. Fuck, it pains me to think that if I’d just held out and if I’d known that she’d just marry the first dude that came around in the wake of Trump’s election I could be married to her right now. I’d lick her from head to toe everyday
  5. I hope Amanda Seyfried runs. She’s hot.
  6. Kavanaugh’s opinion continues on for several pages from where my earlier post leaves off. I really recommend you read it all as it goes into a full history of how this discrimination has been found to continue even in the wake of the 14th amendment and the 1875 Civil Rights Act. Here’s an excerpt from further on: In 1875, to help enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress passed and President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Civil Rights Act of 1875. Ch. 114, 18 Stat. 335. Among other things, that law made it a criminal offense for state officials to exclude individuals from jury service on account of their race. 18 U. S. C. §243. The Act pro- vides: “No citizen possessing all other qualifications which are or may be prescribed by law shall be disqualified for service as grand or petit juror in any court of the United States, or of any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” So, as you can see, you are misinformed when you stated that this hasn’t been codified into law. You’ve got some learning to do if you want to be well informed.
  7. Absolutely happens with women, generally they are not favored by prosecutors. They look at the way you’re dressed, if you brought a book to read they look at what the subject matter is, they look at your age, your profession - many DA’s really disfavor social workers, teachers, doctors, and lawyers. They really don’t want anyone they see as smart since they fear they’ll look at the details of the case too analytically. They look at your place of residence, suburban, rural, urban. Young black women are usually the most disfavored. Again, they aren’t trying to establish fair and balanced juries as you found out...they want the most biased jury they can get.
  8. Narrative? This isn't a bedtime story. If you go with reality, which I sincerely hope you do then we are on the same page. You're a Brett M. Kavanaugh fan right? His recent majority opinion in Flowers v Mississippi found that the state had conducted its jury selection with unlawful racial bias. How fucked up is the justice system that even the K man has to call B.S.? https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-9572_k536.pdf Brett Kavanaugh: In his sixth trial, which is the one at issue here, Flowers was convicted. The State struck five of the six black prospective jurors. On appeal, Flowers argued that the State again violated Batson in exercising peremptory strikes against black prospective jurors. In a divided 5-to-4 decision, the Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the conviction. We granted certiorari on the Batson question and now reverse. See 586 U. S. ___ (2018). Four critical facts, taken together, require reversal. First, in the six trials combined, the State employed its peremptory challenges to strike 41 of the 42 black prospective jurors that it could have struck—a statistic that the State acknowledged at oral argument in this Court. Tr. of Oral Arg. 32. Second, in the most recent trial, the sixth trial, the State exercised peremptory strikes against five of the six black prospective jurors. Third, at the sixth trial, in an apparent effort to find pretextual reasons to strike black prospective jurors, the State engaged in dramatically disparate questioning of black and white prospective jurors. Fourth, the State then struck at least one black prospective juror, Carolyn Wright, who was similarly situated to white prospective jurors who were not struck by the State. We need not and do not decide that any one of those four facts alone would require reversal. All that we need to decide, and all that we do decide, is that all of the relevant facts and circumstances taken together establish that the trial court committed clear error in concluding that the State’s peremptory strike of black prospective juror Carolyn Wright was not “motivated in substantial part by discriminatory intent.” Foster v. Chatman, 578 U. S. ___, ___ (2016) (slip op., at 23) (internal quotation marks omitted). In reaching that conclusion, we break no new legal ground. We simply enforce and reinforce Batson by applying it to the extraordinary facts of this case. We reverse the judgment of the Supreme Court of Mississippi, and we remand the case for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
  9. Ummm, people have been nagging the Democrats to stop “cancel culture” for a while now.
  10. The 19th amendment was ratified 100 years ago today, pretty cool. Of course Mississippi wouldn’t ratify until 1984, what an embarrassing legacy for that state in pretty much every regard except for serving as the birthplace for Brett Lorenzo Favre - that dude is awesome.
  11. Systemic racism is pervasive. Just one example is prosecutors using their peremptory strikes to remove black jurors at greater rates than white jurors. Legally they’re not allowed to discriminate on the basis of race or sex but if challenged, they need only make up one race neutral qualifier. Studies have proven that this happens and it happens because greater percentage white or all white juries are more likely to convict black defendants. We are all entitled by the Constitution to a jury of our peers but black defendants more frequently face a jury of the prosecutor’s peers.
  12. It’s logical. Fix the things people are complaining about and they’ll stop complaining. When my wife mags me to do something, I’ve found that completing the task is the best way to stop the nagging. Insisting that whatever she’s on about doesn’t need addressing and that she is silly for even bringing it up has yielded less than desirable results.
  13. I just came up with a really great way to end all this BLM shit. Make cops stop killing them for no reason and stop judges from giving them longer prison sentences than white people for identical crimes. The sooner we just fuckin do that the sooner I can stop hearing about it. We probably shoulda fixed this shit back when it was brought to our attention in a more peaceful manner. Hindsight, I guess.
  14. The best schools don’t teach you what to think, they teach you how to think and how to learn. Learning is supposed to be a life long process as well, not something where you graduate and go okay I’m all done learning now.
  15. I don’t trust photo ID. I’ve been turned down trying to buy beer with my own ID before. I insisted it was me so the checkout lady had me sign my name on a scrap of paper to see if that matched and since my signatures are always a little different she said no go there as well. That was a while ago, I was probably 22 at the time. About five years ago my wife was driving us to pick up some food at Steak N Shake and forgot to signal pulling into their parking lot and we got pulled over. She also forgot her wallet at home. Officer pulled up her license on his computer and refused to believe she was who she said she was. He frisked her and called backup. His partner came up to the passenger side and asked me how I know this woman. I’m like, she’s my wife and her name is what she told you. Eventually they must have decided she was cause eventually they let us proceed to the drive through. So yeah, if so called trained officers suck this bad at making a positive ID then I feel like there’d be more problems at the polls than what it purports to fix.
  16. Hopefully it’ll make up for the massive decrease of available in-person voting locations your state saw earlier this year due to lack of poll workers. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2020/04/06/wisconsins-closed-polls/
  17. I’m hearing most say they’ll just refrain from voting. As far as the polls, they probably reflect the true size of the far left movement as small in comparison to the general population. That’s kind of why it’s annoying that they think their ideas are such an easy sell given how conservative this country currently is. Still, their threat to sit out in November could make all the difference in close battleground states. So far they don’t seem very impressed with whatever concessions Joe is offering which doesn’t surprise me.
  18. You probably just need to talk to more leftists and ask them if they are pleased with the current state of the Democrat party and whether they support the nomination of Joe Biden. Hell, they view Warren as a faux progressive neo con snake
  19. Barr missed the mark entirely. His words describe the far left which are their own entity separate in every way from the Democrat party. If you ever talk to one of them (far leftists) you’ll know the full extent of their disdain for the Democrat party and their desire to dissolve it. To them, both parties are essentially the same. Today’s Democratic Party is largely comprised of neo liberal shills like myself who believe that incremental change and pragmatic compromise are okay. Far leftists want none of that. Fuck around and find out is their battle cry. I’m not even sure that anyone currently serving in Congress passes their no compromise litmus test to be honest. I know most of these leftists preferred Bernie but I’ll bet they don’t really think even he was radical enough.
