You don't think the government hasn't already taken away most of your rights? Sure, they used a pandemic to disguise it, but buddy, if you think you have the same rights you did in February, you're delusional.

I dunno, I think Ted Bundy got what he deserved.

Name me anyone in a position of power right now who's capable of leading.

"AA account for a huge percent of violent crime, cops know this." Actually, cops patrol low income neighborhoods, pull people of color over for "looking suspicious," somehow find all sorts of bad things they're doing, and then come back and say, "boy, those AA's sure are a bunch of criminals!"

Meanwhile, Joanie the soccer mom's got a painkiller problem, but can't get the Oxy anymore so she's dealing in heroin. And your broker down the street has just bilked your out of your retirement and gets a slap on the wrist and a couple of months at Club Fed. And then your teenage son blows away 2 dozen kids at school one day and the police calmly take him away and sadly lament, "Mental health is such a problem these days. If only this boy had some help, all this could have been avoided."

Your explanation is flat out ridiculous. Of course statistics show there is more crime in those neighborhoods because that's where the police hang out. It's easy to pick on the vulnerable. You say shooting/stabbing cops is wrong. Well, at least they have a fighting chance, unlike Breonna Taylor who apparently deserved 8 shots while sleeping. Or George Floyd who no doubt needed his neck stepped on for 9 minutes. You realize we have a law here that allows No Knock warrants? Cops can just waltz into anyone's house with "probable cause." Well, if you're black, seems like that's all the "probable cause" a cop needs. Can you imagine what would have happened if one of those cops had been shot breaking into her home? Endless possibilities for the inhabitants, none of them good. A few trigger happy cops blow her away for no reason? 98 days, hundreds of protests, and finally, someone grows the balls to do something about it.

I'm confused. Protesters are demanding change but most "Whites and Blacks have moved on from that era" (of white privilege)? Why protest when the majority of people are totally non-racist and are singing kumbaya together? And then you finish by saying "Protest has been the only mechanism that brings real substantive change." But why do people want change when the majority of people have moved on from all that bad stuff?

This could have been a great opportunity for Wells to improve its image. Crazy they wound up bringing another lawsuit against themselves.

Steve really needs to just bring the Clippers to Seattle. They'll always be the red headed stepchild to the Lakers, no matter how many championships they win. Even the Lakers playing awful gets more press than the Clippers on a win streak.

Re: Las Vegas Casino Bans MassRoots CEO For Cannabis Ties

JonnyMo — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 17:25:25 -0000

It would make more sense for the casinos to invest in cannabis, welcome its many conventions, and put pressure on Trump and his admin to lay off the industry and allow it to thrive. Hard to really say Trump's a capitalist with his stance on cannabis. Free market? Hardly.

But golly, let's make sure those casinos, cigarette makers and alcohol producers are all well taken care of. Oh, and let's not forget all those fine doctors and pharma co's dispensing opioids like breath mints. Those are the fine upstanding folks keeping this country together.

Re: MLB to Destroy (Not Donate) Leftover Cleveland World Series Apparel

JonnyMo — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 13:48:48 -0000

MLB should have just said it is doing this so as not to take away from the local economies. That's a far better spin than "we're protecting the team."

Sometimes honesty isn't always best. :)

Re: How two guys in their 20s built a $150,000 side hustle selling T-shirts on Amazon

JonnyMo — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 15:14:44 -0000

Actually, he's moving in to selling software. The shirts earned him the income to develop software that looks to fill a niche.

It's likely these guys will wind up far wealthier than your average college grad. Great entrepreneurs don't really need college and they aren't your "average" person. There are no guarantees in life, college is just a way to hedge your bets and land a decent job. It's a lousy hedge if you've got a truly entrepreneurial spirit and it hasn't panned out for a whole lot of millennials these days either.

Well, we could just have this guy build a 10 mile portion of the border wall all by himself and when he's done, we call it even?

Well, I guess we now know the answer to the question, "if an illegal immigrant and his son start a fire in the wilderness and no one sees them do it, is there really a fire?"

It's that kind of thinking that lulls people into a false sense of security, so they stay home on voting day. Hey, look at that, didn't take that many white guys to vote after all.

Oh right, there's a time frame that's acceptable for when comments can be made and you have appointed yourself the timekeeper. You do have a good life, your mom must be so proud of you watching your Timex so carefully.

The truth is, you can't argue your point, so you found a cheap way out. Nice. It's good to run when you can't respond.

So, they can lie to you by giving you really really bad advice and then not following through on what they've said they would do and all's good?

I guess that makes sense.

Giving out really bad advice, apparently.

JonnyMo — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:15:56 -0000

I don't blame them for that, but if that's the advice they're going to give, they ought not to blow smoke up anyone's skirt and assure them they'll be right along to save the day.

Be honest about it. "Fix your own problems and if we feel like, we'll see if we can help out, but don't hold your breath."

Look, as long as we're all comfortable with who our VP will be regardless of who gets elected, does it really matter what kind of health either candidate is in?

Aren't we all? Why tell the truth when lying works so well. Ryan Lochte was the best example. He comes clean and is wiped out. Everyone else lies or covers up and goes about their merry way.

This isn't lying. This is the American way.
