Hard to defend the edge when they allow holding

Steelers pull off the upset and beat the Colts.

Good summary of Trump’s crypto grift here. Short version is he deregulated the industry and offers pardons and bribes in exchange for investment in his bitcoin boondoggle. Remember when RLLD was Very Concerned about Sleepy Joe getting kickbacks from foreign entities? Wut a moron.

i was actually here before 99, that is just the year the board format changed

Lol. 88 of the top 100 companies in the S&P gave 94% of new jobs in 2021 to people of color in the wake of George Floyd. If we believed you, this would mean that only 6% of white applicants were qualified.

I‘m crazy busy unfortunately…But is 6am and having some coffee, watching DP show, reading news.before the work bullshit starts. Tomorrow on a 7am flight to Newark if the FAA is actually landing planes that is

Imagine treating everyone equally

Like I said, 1) it’s hard to understand and 2) people just generally don’t GAF unless it hits them in their own wallets. It’s also technically legal. Scummy and hypocritical, but legal.

That’s reassuring. I’d hate to think Trump knew he just pardoned a guy whose company laundered money for Al Qaida, Isis, and child pornographers.

Good point.

So Trump agrees this isn’t a Democratic shutdown after all, since the Republicans have the power to open up the government any time they want. Good to know.

Why did you pardon CZ? Trump: I don't know who he is. I don't know anything about it. Autopen?

Time to do what you know you need to do…I did…wipe my @$$ with Xavier.

Great game, congrats bills fans. Hope to see you again this season.

I'm guessing you chose Williams??

Hey you’re right. I never ask those guys to perform tasks they’re incapable of. I shouldn’t do that to you either.

Wait, wait, I know this one...to get to the other side.

Robert Reich is involved with that. Might as well post something from the Lincoln proj pedos. The guy who wrote it is in his 80s. The bullet points aren’t from the article and Wuhan/covid isn’t even mentioned in the article. This is an example of why I usually just scroll by almost anything posted by him. It’s a real sickness. All roads lead to TDS

So you are somewhere between 0 and 100 years old.

I'm telling you, they are wholly ignorant. You think Fox and Gateway Pundit are covering Don's bribery schemes? I've caught some Fox News recently because my dad watches it. Unless the news side is occasionally mentioning it, there is NOTHING. It's just a 100% bash dems for everything, praise Don for everything. It's focking lunacy. Every time I bring something up to my old man about this admin's corruption, the inevitable response is "I haven't heard about that." Dude gorges himself on RWM.

Well will you look at this Based on our initial set of audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants. And my team is getting it back. Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving Medicaid. Others insist it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants. And others accurately point out that hospitals can provide emergency services to illegal immigrants under the program. We can all agree on this: rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse is essential to protecting this program for the most vulnerable. It’s also one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities. Let me lay down the facts: The truth is that federal law is supposed to prohibit federal Medicaid dollars broadly from being used to cover illegal immigrants. It does permit states to use Medicaid dollars for emergency treatment, regardless of patients’ citizenship or immigration status. States can also legally build Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants using their own state tax dollars, so long as no federal tax dollars are used. But that didn’t stop Democrats from going even further by breaking federal law to give illegal immigrants federal Medicaid dollars meant for American citizens. Earlier this year, the CMS team began auditing state Medicaid programs to ensure they were following the law and not spending any federal tax dollars on illegal immigrants outside of emergency Medicaid. What we found was shocking. In a preliminary review of 6 states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault. Those states are: CA - $1,310,032,549 DC - $2,114,628 IL - $29,778,645 WA - $2,367,194 CO - $1,506,743 OR - $5,404,368 We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked? Whether willful or not, the states’ conduct highlights a terrifying reality: American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal immigrants’ Medicaid coverage, despite many Democrats and the media insisting otherwise. Democrats are demanding the repeal of the President’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in order for their votes to reopen the government. This law wisely strengthened our ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on health care for illegal immigrants. Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid to illegal immigrants.

Weepaws laying the wood to Peefoam tonight. Poor Peefoam!

Nope. Nacua and JT are good reasons why.

I dont disagree entirely with those things. I mean I think that contributes a bit to some home ownership rates and some other things. This is obviously a difficult topic and unfortunately people usually want to make racism accusations so they view discussions in the worst light possible. On a micro level I think a big reason why crime rates stay higher even when equalized for income is an association issue. I will never forget when a black family moved in two houses down the street from me. The parents were super nice. Nurse and a COO of a midsized company. The kids sucked. The kids friends sucked worse. Now this is anecdotal, but if you google "second generation black wealth back to normal crime rates." You will see it says "A central aspect of Black wealth is that its accumulation does not reliably correlate with reduced crime rates in the same way as it does for white wealth. In fact, studies show that affluent Black youth are more likely to be incarcerated than poor white youth." I believe black teens have an identity issue. If you lined up asian teens, white teens, and black teens and somehow could make them like hollow man and you could only see clothes and posture, you would be able to pick out the black teens with a decent level of accuracy and the other teens would be more of a random thing. Black teens feel the need to be black. Subsequently it forces them to often have reactionary personalities instead of being authentic. There is unfortunately an often self created narrow version of "blackness" they feel the need to live up to. Google "narrow version of blackness" and you will see I am not just making that up. There are several references to internal factors not just the view from external. Visit a busy area in the ghetto and watch black kids cross the street. They often walk the same, are all dressed the same, and often slow down when a car is approaching. They make fun of the kid that speeds up to gtfo of the road. These kinds of things can lead to a degredation of manners. Poor behavior often races to the front. They are less likely than their parents to form bonds to the community. Their parents and them become very different. Parents can feel like their kids are pissing away opportunities. This now worsens the identity crisis and crime can be the next byproduct. I think the mistake the parents make here is to have allowed the narrow view of blackness to have taken any hold at all. To have humored the idea that a black identity is a good thing to have, or even a necessary thing rather than pushing their kid to just have their own identity, but obviously with the guardrails that a parent should impose. So many things are cliches and stereotypes in these discussions, but if you look at the example of the way young black males wear their jeans the whole thing is preposterous. 1. It is objectively stupid to wear your pants that way. 2. It is horribly inefficient from a pure time perspective. 3. It is associated with blackness(particularly from the black perspective). 4. It is considered racist to point this out. I mean think about it. We let it get to the point in America where black teens walk around pulling their pants up every 22 seconds and somehow it is something that teachers, pastors, coaches, and even their own parents are supposed to stfu about because it is part of the black identity. None of this is the end all be all of anything. Just some factors of many that partially explain why affluent black kids have some struggles that really are unique to them as a whole.
