Republicans can't talk about any of their policies because they all suck.
They constantly project their flaws. Every accusation is a admission.
They have sunk to 'let's kill anyone who asks us questions and makes us acknowledge our shame'.
One thing thats struck me about all this is how many Western Journalists and media people are just tweeting shit that exposes how little humanity they extend to nonwhite people and countries.
Its not like, surprising if you know anything about how fucking rabid these people were to slaughter iraqis syrians afghani or yemeni people but when they say shit like "this war is scary because these people look like me" its just.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ASKED …
Yes, White Men had plenty of disregard and disrespect to go around.
And for those of you who are wondering when and How the Irish Became White in America…

Point is, whether Black, Asian, or white, all your complaints have been proven to be false . Just quit while you’re ahead.
Spot on Prediction Motherfucker, ya nailed it!
Regardless of the Oscar outcome, this post has aged magnificently.
You’re at a house party off-campus—perhaps you’re coming out of the bathroom after finally breaking the seal or you’re walking out of the kitchen, drink in hand—and you notice a black woman who looks much more wasted than you do, being led into a bedroom by a relatively sober guy. Being the good feminist you are, you register that the situation looks suspect. What do you do?
According to a new study, white women aren’t likely to intervene and help. The study, published in The Psychology Of Women Quarterly, posed a similar scenario to 160 white female undergraduates. The students were randomly assigned whether the intoxicated woman in the story had a “distinctively black name"—LaToya—or an ambiguous name—Laura, as a control.
When asked to report on their intent to intervene and how they viewed the situation and the potential victim, the white undergrads said they would be less likely to help when they perceived the woman who was at risk of being sexually assaulted was black, because they felt “less personal responsibility.” Secondarily, they also “perceived that [the black victim] experienced more pleasure in the pre-assault situation” at a slightly higher rate than the control group. (The control group given the scenario with the non-racialized name uniformly perceived the victim to be white.)
“We found that although white students correctly perceived that black women were at risk in a pre-assault situation, they tended not to feel as personally involved in the situation,” the researchers at SUNY Geneseo, Jennifer Katz and Christine Merrilees, said in an interview with PsyPost. In other words, “despite their shared status as women, white female bystanders in the current study may have felt that a Black woman’s plight was not as personally relevant because race has a more powerful effect than gender on intent to intervene and feelings of responsibility to intervene,” they write in the study.
Previous research has found that white people, in general, are less likely to help black victims. A 2008 study on racial bias in helping behavior troublingly found that “as [a situation’s] level of emergency increased, the speed and quality of help white participants offered to black victims relative to white victims decreased.” When the victim was black, the white participants also viewed the situation as less severe.
Nothing about this is surprising.
I assumed we all already knew that if ww can’t use us or if they can’t steal from us they have no use or empathy for black women…
OMG!!!😲 It always is so much worse than I think.

Every fucking day. They need to be charged a fine every time the police are called.
what a twist
“In a Facebook post on April 16, Tshyrad Oates shared that he used a four day guest pass to workout with his friend, who was already a long standing member at the Secaucus, New Jersey location.
‘After about a half hour I was approached by this same employee telling me that I had to leave or pay and I explained to her that I just signed in with her with the guest pass.' 'She stated that it was my friend who did not pay.’
Oates claims that his friend first explained the he was in fact a member at the gym, having just left his gym tag in the facility’s locker room.
And while the friend made note of how he felt racially profiled and embarrassed, the two continued on with their workout until two police officers arrived and asked why they had no memberships.
'We explained to them about our guest pass and rescanned my friend’s member tag and it resulted in current active status,’ Oates stated, adding that the employee said nothing when they saw the status.
Proceeding on with their workout for an additional 10 minutes, Oates claims that the pair were then asked to leave by the LA Fitness manager“
Always breaks my heart reading about things like this. We must remember her name
Investigators grew suspicious that this was an accident because the highway was 70 feet from the edge of the cliff, there were no skid marks indicating that the driver tried to stop, the car’s computer showed that it accelerated until it went off the cliff, and the car didn’t go off the cliff at an angle.
The bodies of Jennifer and Sarah were found in the car with three of the children’s bodies. The other three children are presumed dead, and another body was found near the the car in the ocean but has not yet been identified.
Now a toxicology report shows that Jennifer, the driver, had a blood alcohol level of 0.10, just over California‘s limit of 0.08.
The medical examiner also found that Sarah, in the passenger seat, and two of the three children whose bodies were found in the car tested positive for diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, which causes drowsiness. The test was inconclusive for the third child.
The report comes as more stories of abusive behavior have come out.
In 2008, a Hart daughter showed up to her Minnesota elementary school with bruises and said that Jennifer had beat her with a belt. When police investigated, Jennifer and Sarah said the girl fell down the stairs.
The daughter was also stealing food at school and eating things from the trash, and the mothers told the police that she had “food issues.”
The three oldest children were all pulled out of public schools a couple months later.
The next year, they were enrolled in a different elementary school in the same area, and yet another school the year after.
In that third school, another daughter showed up to school with “owies,” which ultimately led to Sarah pleading guilty to domestic assault. Several weeks later, the kids were all pulled out of school and home schooled, records show.
The family moved to Oregon, where a family friend said she “witnessed what I felt to be controlling emotional abuse and cruel punishment.” The Oregon Department of Human Services talked to each of the six children, but records show that they did not have enough evidence to pursue charges.
But the family moved again, this time to Washington state.
Neighbors in Washington told Child Protective Services that they were surprised that there were six Hart children since they never went outside.
“When you see families that are going to great extremes to keep their kids out of view, that’s a red flag,” said David Finkelhor, the director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center.
Last November, a neighbor called 911 when one of the Hart daughters jumped out a second floor window at 2 a.m. and ran to his and his daughter’s home and asked them to protect her.
She told the neighbors that “her moms were racist and were abusing her,” and that she was whipped with belts.
“Then she (the parent) had all four of the kids come back later and say everything was okay, and they were all standing at attention, like they were all scared to death,” the man told authorities. “And I think there’s something very serious going on there.”
The daughter was also missing two teeth, and her mothers said that she had fallen and knocked them out.
Several weeks before the family disappeared, 15-year-old son Devonte started going to his neighbors’ house, asking for food like bread and tortillas. He asked the neighbors to leave food in a box where his mothers couldn’t see it, and said that the parents were denying the kids food as a punishment.
The neighbor told CPS that Devonte’s body was “tinier than his head,” but that he asked them not to call the police because he was worried that his brothers and sisters would get separated.
The Friday before the Harts disappeared, the neighbors had called the authorities. CPS sent someone to the house, but no one answered the door.
Their car was gone on Saturday and the car was found in the Pacific Ocean on Monday. The next time CPS visited, the card was gone.
Investigators are still piecing together the timeline of the family’s last few days. Based on cell phone tower data, they drove 450 miles down the Pacific coast on Saturday, March 24.
They then spent around 24 hours at Fort Bragg in Mendocino County. On Sunday morning, a security camera at a convenience store shows that Jennifer bought fruit.
On Sunday evening, they drove to – and off – a nearby cliff. Sheriff Tom Allman said that there is currently no evidence of a struggle between Sarah and Jennifer.
“I got to the house, and I knocked on the lady’s door. Then she started yelling at me and she was like, ‘Why are you trying to break into my house?’ I was trying to explain to her that I was trying to get directions to Rochester High. And she kept yelling at me. Then the guy came downstairs, and he grabbed the gun, I saw it and started to run. And that’s when I heard the gunshot,” he says.
Thankfully, the man missed. Brennan kept running, hid, then cried.
“My mom says that, black boys get shot because sometimes they don’t look their age, and I don’t look my age. I’m 14; but I don’t look 14. I’m kind of happy that, like, I didn’t become a statistic,” he says in retrospect.
Oakland County Sheriff Deputies arrived soon after to the home on South Christian Hills Drive and took the woman’s husband into custody.
FOX 2: “Your son almost became a hashtag.”
“Exactly, and that’s exactly how I feel. Like, wow. Because you were trying to get to school,” says his mother, Lisa Wright. “I found out later the only reason [the man] missed is because he forgot to take the safety off.”
Lisa was at work when she got the call. She says her husband is deployed in Syria, so she was assuming she was getting a call about him until she realized they were calling about Brennan. She dropped everything and immediately went to the substation to be with her son.
That’s where investigators told her the family’s Ring doorbell recorded the encounter. Investigators watched the video with Brennan and his mom. She says the video confirmed their suspicions.
“One of the things that stands out, that probably angers me the most is, while I was watching the tape, you can hear the wife say, 'Why did "these people” choose my house?’“ she says, before taking a long pause. "Who are, "these people?” And that set me off. I didn’t want to believe it was what it appeared to look like. When I heard her say that, it was like, but it is [what it looks like].“
Authorities haven’t released that security video.
"We should not have to live in a society where we have to fend for ourselves. If I have a question, I should be able to turn to my village and knock on a door and ask a question. I shouldn’t be fearful of a child, let alone a skin tone,” she adds. “This is a decent neighborhood. If anything – why would I knock on your door to rob you?”
“It is just absurd that this happened,” says Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “I feel terrible for the young man; I feel terrible for the mom and the anxiety that they had to go through. We are going to ask for every charge permissible for this guy, who stepped up and fired a shotgun because someone knocked on his door.”
Right now that man is being held at the Oakland County Jail.
The retired Detroit firefighter was arraigned Friday afternoon. Jeffrey Zeigler has been charged with Assault with Intent to Murder; and Felony Firearms. He’s due in court again April 24.
