@Riddlescue @esjesjesj You also agree money should be taken from the hyper wealthy and given back to the poor?

@esjesjesj So you are for "wealth redistribution" which takes money from the rapacious government and gives it back to the taxpayer who actually earned it?
Congrats, you're a Republican!
English
Literally stealing from the rich to give to the poor. That’s his entire thing. Wealth redistribution. Are you stupid

@AViperDen @Colgruv @esjesjesj Yes they are. The rich control the government whether they are elected officals or not. Citizens United saw to that.
English
@Colgruv @esjesjesj Not in the United States where the film was made. In Russia and China and Cuba and most of Africa, that is correct so I understand why you might be confused.

@RevivedThoughts @hadesresources @jkbdts @KrioroD "The Right" isn't a party its a political alignment. Conservatives fought to keep slavery and segregation in place.
English
"I'm racist! The Right passed the Civil Rights Act with 100% support. The Dems barely passed it. Clearly we're not welcome here and should go join the Right, the party founded to abolish slavery!"
It's a hard sell you're making. People like Robert Byrd, former Cyclops for the KKK who was in the Democrat Party till, what was it, 2008 make it even harder for you to prove.

Two worldviews are clashing here:
The Leftist thinks the Right is racist. They believe it motivates their policies on policing, immigration, everything. And they are often Christian. So to them pointing out Jesus isn't white (and no one thinks He is, this is am imaginary allegation) is a big own.
For the Leftist is always thinking about race. And they assume and build their morality off of the Right being the racist evil they need him to be. So then how ironic and hilarious all these Right wing racists follow Jesus.
So it becomes:
"You hate brown people but do you realize Jesus is one?"
However the Right responds saying they don't care. They genuinely believe the idea content of character not color is what matters. So this attack has zero effect.
They love Jesus not because He is white or brown but because He is God who transcends all that. The Right, at its best, doesn't care about race and wants to move on.
The Left doesn't believe the Right so they throw this kind of post up all the time.
Never realizing it reveals far more about themselves than the people they think they're insulting.

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.

@Me10Andy @srkaseyqueno @gearoidmurphy_ Problem in the US is that getting cheaper housing often means ling commutes. I've avoided applying to higher paying jobs before because the increased travel would eat up most the raise.

@srkaseyqueno @gearoidmurphy_ Being in the USA doesn't mean you can't join in the conversation when you have something relevant to say. It's quite nice to have a conversation and hear a different perspective.

A better comparison is whether the boomer could buy the house they live in with the current wage for the job and experience level they had when they originally bought it. So if you were a 30yo bus driver when you bought your house, what house would you get now as a 30yo bus driver.
Shiv Malik@shivmalik
Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.

I’ve never had to call the police, fire department, or EMS to my house.
Do I get my taxes back for that?
Of course not.

If you decide to pull your child from public school and homeschool your child You should get the full $13,000 for your child that would have been spent on your child in public school

@NlPTVCK @ModestTeacher @Le0sGh0st Because the teachers and the teachers union do not put teaching kids first. There isn't no discipline in the classroom..
Teachers are teaching woke, and sexualiliry to kids, not reading, writing, and math. Let alone science
English
@ModestTeacher @Le0sGh0st Public schools that never enforce discipline, enabling violence, and who pass kids who do no work, are a public menace.

@ModestTeacher stay stupid.

how can you defend bloated teacher unions, multi-millionaire school administrators, and the CLOSING OF SCHOOLS FOR TWO YEARS IN CALIFORNIA when parents had NO SAY SO as: “these people should have more monopolistic control.”??

ME: Daycare is expensive, but worth it.
THEM: Why would you pay to have someone else raise your kids?
ME: They're not raising my kids, they're taking care of them while we work.
THEM: One of you should quit your job so you aren't handing your kids off to strangers each day.
ME: They're not strangers, they're professionals. And we'd have even less money if one of us stayed at home with the kids.
THEM: It shouldn't be about money, it should be about bonding with your kids.
ME: Kids need bonding with more than just their parents. Their daycare teachers and other kids at daycare are some of their best friends, and they're excited to go each day.
THEM: You're letting them get indoctrinated by today's education system and propaganda.
ME: They're literally learning colors, the ABCs, and how to count to 10.
THEM: Some parents just don't want to be parents!
ME: *stops arguing with a wall*

@jstevenstitch @ragingrox @dekker The only reason I even know half those days exist is because right wing people complain about it. The reality is the right sends more time shoving LGBTQ stuff down thier own throats than the actual community does.

This isn’t meant to come off as a knock to CE.
I’m a Christian - and a basketball player. 90% of the NBA is openly Christian. What I find maddening in all this is Christians online twisting the story into “Ivey got waived because he is a Christian.” That’s just a false statement and you’re pushing drama even further.
There are guys that proclaim their faith all over the NBA - it’s a shared faith. There are pre-game Chapel services in EVERY arena where guys come together to worship. There are post-game prayer communities that are visible to fans and cameras.
This isn’t an intolerance issue by the NBA. Far from it. The league wants guys to proclaim what they believe.
With that; You will be fired in ANY job where you become a workplace nightmare. If you continually disrupt the peace and happiness of your colleagues, you will be held accountable. It’s as simple as that.

You guys really need a refresher on this. Our school system is failing us.
Freedom of speech essentially protects you in the public sector (even though Trump is testing that).
An employer has a different set of rules. So outside you can say you hate/love whoever you want, but you literally sign papers with your employer that limits that freedom
Kazen Alaricus@WrenKaz
@BSO Actually that’s exactly what freedom of speech means. It means consequence-free expression of political opinions.

when kirk was killed there was a concentrated effort by the State and the Right to turn him into an untouchable martyr, to only be worshipped, to punish anyone who didnt toe that line. Every dumb meme of kirk is people, consciously or not, rejecting being forced into that.
Barry@BarryOnHere
Charlie Kirk got assassinated at 31 years old and then became the biggest joke on the internet. His face is now constantly superimposed onto pictures & videos for people to laugh at for the rest of time. His widow has made a mockery of him and she herself has become a meme. Basically, everything he ever did in life has been rendered useless. There's something incredibly sinister & demoralizing about this, like watching a person's soul being sent to Hades in real time, only it's not the Ancient Greeks. It's us.

@DittiePE Why can’t you ever tell the rest of the story? We all know why, it would completely change your narrative and people would know the truth. Delete your account loser!

Republicans are not serious people.
Trevor Milton, convicted of defrauding investors, was pardoned after pouring nearly $2 million into pro-Trump political committees.
Paul Walczak, convicted of siphoning $10 million from employees’ paychecks, was pardoned weeks after his mother contributed $1 million to a Trump super PAC — her largest-ever political donation.
Julio Herrera Velutini, a foreign billionaire charged with bribery, received a pardon after his 25-year-old daughter — whose only previous political donation was $20 to Pete Buttigieg — suddenly gave $3.5 million to a Trump super PAC.
$2 billion in restitution wiped out allegedly by pardons sold at $1-2 million a pop. It’s a pretty good deal if you can get it.

Trump pardoned 77 people this week that stole from Medicare. This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.
