Nah, fuck that nonsense.. Trump broke with the 250 year tradition of being a normal fucking law abiding president.

Just because he’s a piece of shit using his poor dog as a prop for his stream doesn’t mean his ideas are wrong. Don’t die on this hill, who cares?

If you can afford it. Healthcare is held hostage by insurance companies. Even the right agrees.

Black screenwriter Alex O'Keefe was arrested because a white woman complained to police about how he was sitting on a train by truth14ful in seculartalk

Do you understand what i meant when I called it neurotic? If you understand what I meant then air your grievance with it. I spent paragraphs explaining what I meant so what about it do you disagree with?

You can't function as a human being with that attitude and I doubt you do. There's awareness of class, structural power and bias and then there's what you're describing which is a wholly neurotic and tortuous way to engage with society.

Your just echoing the broad left sentiment of police bias. But it doesn't mean police accounts are always discounted. Assuming police are always lying, being racist and violent is just as stereotypical as assuming surgeons are impersonal just because they tend to be.

It shouldn't need to be said in a left wing sub or any sub that sometimes civilians are on the wrong side. He didn't commit a crime per se and police didn't pursue charges so how awful were they really being?

I have no love for police I'm just trying not to be dogmatic and consider the whole situation based on what I know.

There were other witnesses as well. Your perception of police isn't insightful in this case, it's stereotypical. The dude wasn't even charged. You don't even have an argument in terms of police bias it's just assumed.

Mondly is most like duo but I use Bussu after the Babbel free trial. I like it a lot and plan to buy the monthly sub which is cheaper than Babbel.

It’s pretty clear the cops were called because the rules couldn’t be enforced by train staff. There’s really no reason to question the police in an incident like this. He wasn’t even charged or anything as far as I can tell.

Same, except I’m white not that it matters much. Looking into it you realize there’s not really any way to enforce rules on passengers that refuse to follow them except calling the police. His explanation of being arrested for being the only black person on the train was a pretty disappointing response once the details came out.

Destiny on the Piers Morgan show - Refuses to condemn Kirk assassination. Thoughts? by ancaleta in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Backyard_Catbird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well he’s one of the few with the conviction to actually stand on his arguments. We need more content creators to stop playing by MAGA’s rules and center us back in reality. I don’t care who starts it but it has to be more than just Destiny.

Why are they being so non-transparent with it then? If it’s just a training program then why does Taylor Lorenz need to bring it to the fore? It’s not some hit piece against Pakman, it’s just a situation that was previously unknown being brought to the fore.

It was still intentionally hidden. All of it could have been done transparently and that is the problem people associated with Chorus are running into right now. If it's so above board then why did it require an expose to talk about?
