Democrats take one on the chin

[modern roots]

Well, well. Gov. Cuomo has finally resigned amid sexual allegation misconduct claims from 11 women. This paves the way for the first woman Gov. of New York.

Be warned, Democrats, you are not above the law. Glad to see this smug-faced pig bite the dust. What a creep!

It's a sad, shame filled day for die hard Democrats as one of their own has given the party a black eye. LOL!! Perverts in both parties!!

We'll see in the future if any criminal charges find their way to the disgraced Cuomo's ass. I'm sure his brother on CNN will be reporting this perverts fall from grace with a gleam in his eye!! Humble pie for the Cuomo gang.

[Bohannon]

Now if the republicans would also do the honorable thing... all 11 of them!

[Cat]

I voted for him in the past but I'm glad he's decided to hang it up. He was to establishment anyway. AOC for Governor!

[nemesystem]

Cuomo was just like Trump but with a D next to his name...
They all have a similar attitudes.. like wannabe mafioso..

Hopefully Gaetz and Trump are next lol

The incumbent Democrat governor of Virginia just lost to a Republican. And New Jersey's incumbent Democrat governor hung on by the hair of his chinny chin chin. The Republicans are fighting back.

The incumbent Democrat governor of Virginia just lost to a Republican.

That is because the Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin did what right wingers always do, exploit white racial anxiety. White suburban sheep always fall for it.
Critical Race Theory is a dog whistle. White Nationalists want to rewrite the history of slavery completely from the books. Propagate and then exploit racial clash..... that will be the prominent GOP strategy going towards the midterms, all thanks to the enduring Trump effect and it's hold on American politics.

I don't know enough about Critical Race Theory to even comment on it. What is it?

And what is White racial anxiety?

Ahmaud Arbery's shooting by 3 white guys as he jogged through their neighborhood is a good example of white racial anxiety.

Most people don't know what Critical Race Theory is but they do know that they don't like it or want it taught to their kids. In a nutshell CRT is a blanket statement for anti racism efforts across the spectrum. Its more conservative red meat so Trump bangs on about it as a threat to white people who like the status quo.

I finally googled Critical Race Theory so I'm no expert, but it didn't make much sense. It stated whites have been the beneficiary of Civil Rights legislation. It didn't give any examples as to how. Maybe you have some. It also stated racism is ordinary and not aberrational. I don't think racism is ordinary. Sure, you have the Black Panthers and KKK, but those groups aren't the norm.
And then another tenet was black racial equality will only be achieved when it aligns itself with the white people. Doesn't make much sense. Maybe you'll have an example of this for me.
In the end, it's an issue with what is taught in schools, which disinterests me completely since modern day K-12 education is a joke. The Amish in their villages get a better and more meaningful education than most kids now. Technology is where they are lacking, but they have made it just fine without moon landings, space stations, computers, smartphones, and automobiles. Something to be said for simple.

Critical Race Theory? Seems like a bunch of doublespeak dreamed up from just another pointy headed wannabe intellectual from academia with too much time on their hands. They'd have been better off studying the mating habits of elephants! Maybe you can change my mind regarding this CRT thing by telling me something a Google search can't.

Oh, and one more thing. You said something about the status quo of white people. What is the status quo to a conservative white person to you?

[Bohannon]

It's actually about inept posers who claim to have done something that they haven't, like visiting Amsterdam.

[modern roots]

Now that Biden's approval rating has sunk to a dreadfully low 38% look for the Republicans to make a surge in the midterms next year. People aren't happy with the far left Democrat agenda. Gas is too high. Runaway inflation. Spending as if there is no tomorrow. I look for the Republicans to retake a slim majority next year in Congress.

Nobody gives a flying fuck what you think about politics. Tell us about your adventures in Amsterdam.

The Democrats are already criticizing the jury.

Pathetic!

The Justice system has spoken. Now move along. No time for speeches and grandstanding.

[nemesystem]

pathetic is the US justice system and those that support it

[Dazzler]

If you're criticising the centre-right as 'far-left' or 'Marxists', it might be time to consider what the last group who called themselves 'anti-Marxists' turned out to be.

A justice system that allows a far-right white supremacist who's on the record as wanting to start a race war to go to a protest with a military assault rifle, kill two people and walk away free is a fucking joke. America is a fucking joke.

Don't be surprised if Rittenhouse speaks at the Republican National Convention someday. Trump loves that dweeb because he shot up a BLM protest and gave all MAGA white nationalists hope for a brighter future. Best to stay away from America until Drumpf is dead and his base dries up.

He's the poster child for gun rights and self defense.

[Dazzler]

What he did was not self defence. I hope the civil suits bankrupt him.

[Cat]

Even if he's sued for civil damages, seeing how he's been embraced by the far right, future litigation in Rittenhouse's defense would probably be taken care of by go fund me accounts. Thats how it works now. The bigger an asshole you are out front in the media, the more money comes in from extremist supporters. Its a sickness that has taken hold.

Radical right wing and other more moderate conservative congress people are making threats against each other as they fight for control of the GOP on Trump's behalf. Its nuts but the money keeps on rolling in. America's gone tumultuous like I've never seen before since my childhood during the civil rights movement in the 60's. For real.

[modern roots]

It was self defense and the Justice system found him not guilty.

Bankrupt him? He's an 18 year old kid. He's worth nothing. Nothing to bankrupt!!

Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, posted his bail for him so he could get out of jail until his trial.

[Dazzler]

A justice system that sees someone pick up a military assault rifle, go to a riot in another state and kill two people and find him not guilty of anything needs to be fixed.

It was a jury trial, fair and square, and the jury found not guilty.

Nothing needs "fixed". That's how are Justice system works.

It is what it is.

You don't agree with everything, do you? Not everything goes your way all the time. Tough titty!! Jury trials will continue.

[Dazzler]

Laws can and do change.

[muckypup]

A justice system that sees someone pick up a military assault rifle, go to a riot in another state and kill two people and find him not guilty of anything needs to be fixed.

A justice system that allows a person to defend themselves from a mob of marauding rioters making effort to take their life is grounded in the right place.

And it was not a "military assault rifle". It was a lawfully carried semi automatic rifle.

MP you're dead wrong here. That rifle is used for one thing, and one thing only, shooting humans. The little creep wouldn't be anywhere near being assaulted by "marauding rioters" had he just stayed at home with his mommy. Justice was not done here.
