How does the results of the DEI initiative not convince people that the Democrat Party platform's sole purpose is to create and capitalize on victimhood? Arguments: According to a the far-left activists group, the ACLU, DEI(A)'s purpose was to: So, DEI(A), was supposed to help people (mainly of color), but also women, at the expense of men (mainly white), but also Asians. So, it promotes racism and discrimination. Aside from that fact, let's focus on the results. The results were that white women were substantially the biggest beneficiary. Looking at this from the perspective of the purpose of the agenda, the past and present remarks of special interest groups and party leaders, they claim that DEI is successful and working. As we, from the outside looking at things, we should see.... Women, mainly white, saying that thanks to DEI women are no longer oppressed and equal. - Note, we're not seeing that. Minorities, mainly black, saying that thanks to DEI, they're getting better treatment. - Note, they are saying that... but the results are not bearing that out. In fact, it's worse. Blacks are being less helped than before, to the benefit of mainly, white women. Women (especially white), are being given special treatment, yet the "Progressive" message is that they're still oppressed. How, they've been getting special treatment? Black people were flat out lied to by the "Progressive" arm of the country, yet the "Progressive" message is that the Conservatives are the problem (even though they're the ones who pushed against the agenda that didn't help [and actually hurt], black people). Just curious on how our left-wingers don't see the reality that the Democrat party actively tries to create victims and then capitalize on them? Also curious as to why @peenie has supported a party that has literally lied to her, her entire life, and still makes policies promotes the degradation of the black community.

Trump threatens Nigeria with potential military action >>ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he’s ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for potential military action in Nigeria as he stepped up his allegations that the government is failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African country. The president also warned that he “will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria.” “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump posted on social media. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!” The warning came after Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu earlier on Saturday pushed back on Trump announcing a day earlier that he was designating the West African country “a country of particular concern” for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians. In a social media statement on Saturday, Tinubu said that the characterization of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the national reality. “Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so,” Tinubu said. “Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths.” …<<

A white MAGA dude shot another white MAGA dude, and MAGA world responded by threatening HBCU’s with violence, and is now attacking trans people too. This isn’t a mystery. White supremacists are violent; and sometimes that violence hits one of their own. Every other ‘’explanation” or “‘theory” is just deflection from the sad reality of this disgusting movement.

🇺🇸Father Trump Talk-🚨The Official Thread of MAGA🚨 It’s Go Time
HellToupee replied to HellToupee's topic in The Geek Club
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. -

DHS claims around Portland ICE facility protests appear to not reflect reality - The real cherry on top of this sundae is DHS couldn’t verify even one arrest or one assault. Send in the Marines indeed. -
How will the SNAP or EBT November Crisis affect YOU?

How will the SNAP or EBT November Crisis affect YOU?
avoiding injuries replied to avoiding injuries's topic in The Geek Club
As a white man, I don’t believe they can be racist jokes when Peenie specifically told me multiple times that it was white people who were the huge majority on these benefits. Take it up with her while I live in reality. -
I was trying to illuminate that focusing on the percentage breakdown of immigrants receiving SNAP, the way it’s presented, is the same way they do with black Americans. I was pointing out that the way they give the statistics about immigrants shifts the focus of the reality. Very few immigrants make up the total of those receiving SNAP. But instead they say, 25% of immigrants receive SNAP, to make it seem like a big number. If you say the truth, if you give the facts correctly, it sounds like this: 1% of SNAP recipients are immigrants. You see how that stat is less tragic than 25% of immigrants receive SNAP.? Okay, I’ve beat the point into the ground. Thanks for giving it your attention. Bowing out now.

But why is the second stat needed? This was my point about the chart about immigrants receiving SNAP and how this framing is also done when discussing the inmate population. Why the jump from the demographics of SNAP recipients do we then go to the population of that particular group in the United States? What is the purpose, other than to make the impact lessen the reality or switch the topic away from the fact that whites are the majority. Explain the purpose of the second stat….

If you're getting your player back, I'm not going to punish you too much. That's why I had Washington hanging around the mid-high mark for a while and I expect them to move back up again. I'd been doing that with SF too but I've had to accept reality with them, this is not a team that is going to get healthy later. This would be a top team, should be, now I see them as a mid tier one. The whole of the AFC North looked like solid teams when the year started, that division has been losing players faster than anyone else. Baltimore can rebound, maybe, Lamar is godly after all and he's coming back maybe this week, but that defense will have to show some life.

Republicans introduce amendment so trump can get third term
jerryskids replied to TrailGuy's topic in The Geek Club
Bannon, huh? The guy Trump fired back in 2017. Seems he wants to become relevant again more than anything. Anyway, I found and watched the video of his interview with the BBC, just a brief clip. The idea that there is some secret cabal who views Trump as a heaven-sent instrument to implement I presume Project 2025 or some such, and will find some machination to get Trump back into office in 2028, sounds more like a David Baldacci novel than reality. But, it's not completely implausible. After all, nobody knows who really ran the country during Biden's term. So I will agree that there is a non-zero chance, and all you moderates can continue your sky screaming with my blessing. -

Republicans introduce amendment so trump can get third term
Fnord replied to TrailGuy's topic in The Geek Club
They also assured us that Trump had no knowledge of or involvement with P2025 and wouldn't enact any of it even if he did, have gone from revulsion to acceptance to defense of J6, have zero clue about the crypto bribery schemes Don's launched or how he's fully dismantled our ability to counter corruption within government and ordered DOJ lawyers to lie in court on his behalf, refuse to acknowledge the terror campaign being perpetrated by ICE, claimed tariffs were just a negotiating tactic, repositioned from rabid demand to release all the Epstein files into supporting the end of the investigation and burial of evidence, refuse to believe that the Don lost in 2020, and still think he GAF about something other than himself. MAGA is so beholden to right wing media that they have become unreliable judges of political reality. I am seeing this first hand in my life. A lot of their support of Trump is based almost entirely on deception perpetrated by their information sources. -
You know, this is what society does to you people, they use percentages of the population of a specific demographic to skew the reality of who receives government benefits. SIR, I DON’T CARE WHAT STATISTICS YOU SHOW, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE LARGEST SEGMENT RECEIVING FOOD STAMPS AND WELFARE. PERIOD AND POINT BLANK. If there are 100 refugees from Qatar here and 25 of them receive SNAP, the graph will say 25% of Qataris receive SNAP. If you use that same logic then only 10% of the white population receive SNAP, but there are 200 million of you all!! Don’t hit me with the percentage of the individual population, that’s soothing your soul and a false way to look at the facts. WHITES ARE THE ONES MOSTLY GETTING FOOD STAMPS AND WELFARE, PERIOD!!!!!!! You won’t have to wonder after November 1st.

Strike replied to TrailGuy's topic in The Geek Club
That's fine. But you've admitted even you only think there's a 3% chance of Trump trying for a third term. Given your bias the reality is likely much lower. It's not even worth arguing over a 3% difference of opinion. You've pretty much made my point. -

You would be my choice to hold the cash but no odds. What a poosey move. They think he's gonna be a dictator until you call them out them they admit they really only think it's a 3% chance. And that's through TDS colored glasses. The reality is it's still 0. -
The other way illegals get food stamps is when they sneak across the border but then when they are caught yell asylum. They then are elligible. Once their asylum claim is lost, they appeal. Then appeal. Then do lots more legal maneuvering and get to stay for many many years before losing their 19th version of the claim. All the while collecting SNAP. Then there is a lag before they are officially deemed inelligible for benefits. These people were in reality illegal aliens the whole time with fake asylum claims collecting benefits.

Fascist attacks on Individuals and Speech
SaintsInDome2006 replied to jonmx's topic in The Geek Club
Let’s just say I take an America First position and I agree with you, flatly, 100%. Great. Ok let’s look at just Americans (assuming of course they can prove their forbears got here legally & have all their paperwork). We Americans want totally closed borders, almost no unemployment, Medicare, social security, affordable healthcare & etc (safe streets, access to all guns, low insurance, negligible inflation, cheap goods, all our goods & manufacturing, cheap cars, be a net exporter, cheap energy, & most importantly very low taxes on individuals & corporations). We also want: to remain the sole superpower in the world, to tell other countries to do what we say, & to push back China. We want all of that. I raised Reagan elsewhere. People completely forgot how we got here with free trade, global dominance, a defeated communism. Trump is completely unraveling all those policies. But besides all that, Americans want EVERYTHING, all of it, at once. There’s no reality or accountability to any of it. How that ties into authoritarianism & free speech is the more the People (who are referenced in the Constitution) demand such accountability & redress for deteriorating conditions (which is inevitable) the more the state will seek to push down on that to retain power. -
Fascist attacks on Individuals and Speech
SaintsInDome2006 replied to jonmx's topic in The Geek Club
I mean “state” like all government authority. Our state constitutions are the same though. Our system restricts the government, it has *no role in the constitutional order, it’s limited & constrained regularly. If you want a constitution where the government has “rights” look at the USSR & several constitutions outside the US. But FYI almost always they put duties on individuals *to the state as well. It’s a 2 way street, but in reality once people get hold of power it only goes in one direction. As for your examples - there are laws that protect law enforcement & government property assault, harassment, & destruction of public property. By all means prosecute those, do it vigorously & with full effect. But federal troops have no role in any of that IMO. And we’ve seen countless examples of people engaging in 1st amendment activities being pepper sprayed, tear gassed, assaulted, seized, arrested without cause. -
Israel Gaza thread- is the peace agreement still in effect?
Gepetto replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
Like I said, they didn't set him up to be attacked like he accuses them of. Also, he's a pro-Palestinian press guy from the USA claiming he's checking the grapes. In reality he's there to find a gotcha against Israel and the IDF, similar to what you do here. Now he's crying the Israeli govt. and the US govt. aren't doing enough and he says next time he will have to actually get injured. I'm done talking about this now.
