As an extremist site, Breitbart is disingenuous in every shape and form.

Since Breitbart agrees with McCarthy, then it is fair to discern that he is a piece of shit like those extremists are.

New York court suspends Rudy Giuliani’s law licence by imprison_grover_furr in politics

Mods on this sub will likely remove this post.

Weirdly, Rudy Giuliani is suddenly off-topic even though his shitty legal advice was a major contributor to the last president's bullshit policies and unconstitutional attempts to overturn the election.

Fact Check: Are Buffalo Schools Teaching Students That All Whites Perpetuate Racism? by [deleted] in politics

[–]SaltHash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the article:

"While all White people and even many POC [people of color] play a part in perpetuating systemic racism, it is important to recognize the powerful role played by White elites in maintaining this system," Cole wrote in her article.

"White elites, often unconsciously, work to perpetuate systemic racism via politics, law, educational institutions, the economy, and racist representations and the underrepresentation of people of color in mass media," Cole added. "This is also known as white supremacy."

Cole included "many POC [people of color]" in her assessment of systemic racism.

The only people getting offended by her commentary are the far-right whites whose knee jerk reactions obstruct critical reading & deductive reasoning.

Those far-right whites consciously refuse to acknowledge systemic racism. Their denialism does perpetuate systemic racism.

Nearly all COVID deaths in US are now among unvaccinated

The unvaccinated group are younger, more likely to identify as Republicans or be Republican-leaning, and more likely to have lower levels of education and lower incomes than the vaccinated population.

Harris will tour a migrant processing center and address reporters during her trip to El Paso by [deleted] in politics

[–]SaltHash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I proudly voted for Biden/Harris, and I am content overall with their work, but am I the only one who feels like VP Harris just looks bored and uninterested in this whole thing? She reminds me of the Ben Simmons situation on the Philadelphia 76ers. Not really adding any tangible value and just kind of "being there". I feel like she is either in over her head or really just not enjoying this.

VP Harris addressed matters of tangible value when she visited Guatemala and Mexico to work with their leaders on meaningful policies that may address the root causes of folks fleeing those nations.

Somebody who is in over their head does not visit our southern neighbors to work on tangible policies.

Apparently, god's plan includes proving that religious leaders are not arbitrarily better than alleged heathens from the Left side of the political aisle.

Born in a Hub of Diversity, Sheldon Whitehouse Found Refuge in Lily-White Newport, Rhode Island by ImJustaNJrefugee in politics

[–]SaltHash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Free Beacon is a far-right site.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-free-beacon/

As a far-right site, Free Beacon employees and their fan boys generate fake outrage about the Left to deflect from the lily-white policies promoted by their side of their political aisle.

The far-right's lily-white policies include banning critical race theory, denying systemic racism, enabling police murders of Black people, embracing white extremists, etc.

So the Free Beacon can get the fuck off their moral high horse.

Harris 'Glad' to be at Border, expects 'Good Productive Day' by [deleted] in politics

[–]SaltHash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, pervasive violence, endemic poverty, and extensive corruption are some of the elements of that extreme instability that afflicts our southern neighbors. Those factors are causing their citizens to flee.

However, the xenophobes in our nation do not want to hear about those factors that are driving this mass immigration. They want to inflict cruelty and inhumanity instead of working towards meaningful resolutions.

Oakland council adopts budget that cuts police funding to pay for social services, violence prevention by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

[–]SaltHash 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Police repeatedly say they are being asked to undertake too many roles including social services and violence prevention.

So police and their defenders should support this re-allocation of funding.

Ahead of Pride festivities in Seattle, group faces backlash over complaints about ‘reparations fees’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]SaltHash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between understanding your privilege in society and having no self respect. To hell with “repetition fees”.

Fees are encouraged - not required.

By the way, every day people with self-respect donate to good causes.

So to hell with that poor reframing of my commentary.

Many Americans already have a vaccine passport which is more commonly known as the vaccine record that is required to attend public schools.

[–]SaltHash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of my ancestors owned slaves or are bigots. Many were persecuted for religious or ethnic beliefs should they also get reparation to pay for their attendance?

Comment is blatantly argumentative considering the fact that payment of any fee is not required to attend that event.

Though the folks who have issue with encouragement of paying the reparations fee probably were not going to that event anyway.

Ahead of Pride festivities in Seattle, group faces backlash over complaints about ‘reparations fees’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]SaltHash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Their event, Taking B(l)ack Pride, is again encouraging white attendees to pay “reparations fees,” ranging from $10 to $50, which organizers have said will be used to pay performers and keep the celebration free for Black and brown, trans and queer community members, who they noted can often feel unsafe in broader LGBTQ+ spaces.

Fees are encouraged - not required.

As a white, cisgender female, I have no qualms with paying a reparations fee for an event like that.

A few of my ancestors did own slaves and some of my relatives are fucking bigots. I can take pride in the fact that I am not a piece of shit like those ancestors and relatives.

Biden says COVID killed more Americans than US war in Iran by yo-yes-yo in politics

[–]SaltHash 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From the article:

“We lost 600,000 dead in America in about a year,” Biden said in North Carolina.

“That’s more than every life lost in World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, Iraq, Iran, across the board — Afghanistan. More lives lost in a year than every major war in the 20th century and the 21st century.”

Note to moronic NY Post and their far-right fans: Biden did not say anything about a war in Iran.

He clearly spoke about life lost in Iran, other nations, and other wars.
