Someone will cut his balls off again overnight. Did you see him backpeddle on blaming that former prez for the insurrection?  Left skid marks in reverse.
For a disgraced reality-show host who lost a lot of money in real estate and other boondoggles, Turnip holds a ludicrous amount of power.

Glad to hear you don't think everything given to a POC is taking away from a white person ... BUT

Let me know when you are ready consider the idea that a POC might actually earn something they get. Or deserve something.
I not only "consider" the idea, but I acknowledge the absolute fact that black folk who work hard - earn and deserve what they get.  Just like brown folk do.  Just like yellow folk do.  Just like white folk do.  

I do, however, believe that there is a vocal faction out there among the SJW circles that subscribes to the notion that brown people can only rise if white people are pushed down.  Or at the least steps aside.  The white privilege narrative is the most compelling eva dents of this.  I.e. whites only got what they got because they're white.  Blacks get nothing because they are black.  IOW, one group must be torn down before another can rise - rather than for the two to peacefully coexist and both to prosper side by side.

I also pretty strongly believe that the current trumpism phenomena is linked to this.  Among the vile racist narrative is a grain of truth.  I don't excuse the most blatant of the racists, but I think there has been a shift in thinking among the "woke" that there is more political traction in blame than there is in working together.  And blame has created a natural pushback from the folks who are being blamed who haven't done anything wrong and are only trying to live their lives, put food on the table for their kids and take a vacay once a year if they are lucky.  But all they hear is they are to blame for the ills of all of society.  And they correctly are saying, "Fuck You!"

Yep, keep blaming the darkies, and the rich will continue to laugh.

In view of the political situation in the USA right now, you'd have to be pretty damn dumb to think that there are more "SJWs that subscribe to the notion that brown people can only rise if white people are pushed down" than there are drooling goobers who are mad as hell because some guy on hate-spew media is telling them about all the SJWs trying to push them down.

And their method of saying "fuck you" is fucking themselves over pretty hard. Did the farmers in all the red states get a better deal? Did the coal miners? Did any factory jobs come back? They're chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.

Unfortunately they are also destroying the country... a goal which many of them have now chosen deliberately

Is Mitch growing a spine, at least when it comes to keeping Team GOP a viable brand?
The reality is more likely some mega bucks donor has had enough of the GOP insanity and is threatening to walk if Mitch doesn't stand up to the nutjobs and the column inches of outrage being generated.

McConnell: Marjorie Taylor Greene's views are a 'cancer' for the GOP

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Monday issued a tacit rebuke of controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, slamming the Georgia Republican's "loony lies and conspiracy theories" as a "cancer" for the party. 

"Loony lies and conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country," McConnell said in a statement. "Somebody who's suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.'s airplane is not living in reality. This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party."

Battle lines have been drawn - 

Greene quickly shot back on Twitter, asserting that "the real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country."

Umm, I hate to be the one to break it to her.... in fact I'm not even going near that crazy bitch if I can help it, I don't want to be in the same -state- as her.... but McConnell WON his election.

She's really a dumbass. An inspiration to many, I bet

PUI again Jeff? Based on your words above, you do excuse the least blatant of the racists, and they are the most dangerous kind, because racist they are, and they do the most damage, i.e. denying apartment leases, making it hard to vote, denying promotions, making it impossible to get student loans, gerrymandering districts, racial profiling, etc.

You've got to realize something. Ghettos don't make themselves; landlords do.

And to quote Inigo Montoya when it comes to "Woke,"

You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.

Mitch has obviously figured out which direction the money is flowing, and ISN'T flowing. 

That Jewish Space Lasers Start Forest Fires thing is really going to get AIPAC's wallets slammed shut in a hurry.

It will be interesting to see who will line up behind Mitch on this one.  My guess is there are a whole lot of R pols with their wet index fingers in the air looking for a zephyr.   If it comes down to not enough room in the R party for both Mitch vs. Marjorie, and it may well come to that, it is hard to imagine MM losing, but it is not out of the question.  There is a ton of MM hate up on the front page of Gab at the moment:

The setup for the schism is already being played out on the front page of Gab and on MTG's Twitter.  She is casting many in the entire R party as cowards and losers.  This stand-off can't last long.

I thought so too, but apparently it's not as obvious to others. Benwynn couldn't figure it out, so I'm asking on his behalf. Maybe you can help him out by explaining the mystery point that Olsonist was trying to make?
No, thanks for asking.
What a relief. Questions to which the answer is obvious, but which still won't be answered, are my very favorite kind. Thanks for contributing to my fun!

So you agree then - distributing tax money is a zero sum game. And therefore your comments re Jeff are off point, because he was correct. Assuming he accepts your characterisation.

Now arguing that the bias in distribution where some get more and others less is interesting, but let's not pretend that it's anything other than a zero-sum game, given a fixed tax base.

Raising the tax base is another argument entirely but it *still* becomes a zero-sum game, just at a higher total pool amount.

FKT
There is not a fixed tax base.

Government works best when it facilitates growth.  You can buy and hold property and even pass it down to your progeny.  It is not because you sit out there all day and night with a damn shotgun.
