You seem to have utterly missed the point of that paragraph. The prosecutors weren't trying to excuse Biden because of his bad behavior, they were showing that he knowingly spent these funds in a depraved way instead of paying taxes. -
Projecting much? You're the one who started this diversion with your claim about wrong usage. A claim that was disproven as conclusively as a claim can be.
-
I just checked it a little while ago and it was a bit below 19.
-
I'll tell you what. I'll apologize for the statement about Jamaicans if you apologize for claiming that you're not upset about it. Remember that this started when you made an over-the-top high dudgeon condemnation of Harris based on her father's condemnation.
-
Luke Cage was a show that failed to draw much of an audience. As for Harris's joke, had she not made an explicit connection to Jamaica, would anyone have assumed her youthful consumption of marijuana was due to her Jamaican heritage? And you have to be a real pearl clutcher to be upset about a reference to smoking marijuana in one's youth in this day and age.
-
Not obvious to me who has occasionally experienced such censorship which is their right to exercise. And if they were to allow people such as yourself to make unsupported assertions repeatedly, these pages would be abandoned by sensible people. I suggest you publish your assertions in the Journal of Because I Said So.
-
Luke Cage was not a documentary. And this scholarly comment does nothing to establish that Americans associate a black person smoking marijuana with Jamaican culture. Even if Kamala wore dreadlocks, which she didn't, I doubt most Americans would make the connection. But since she didn't present herrself as culturally Jamaican, why would even Americans knowledgeable about Jamaica make the connection?
-
I got news for you. This forum doesn't countenance unbridled free speech. And a good thing too. Otherwise, among other misfortunes,it would be overrun with people who make empty contrary to fact assertions citing themselves as authorities. There's a good reason the the rule stipulates links to credible sources. Your philological assertion would be better placed in the fiction forum.
-
Another empty assertion. Are you familiar with the rules of this forum that require assertions of fact to be backed by a link to a credible source? Rational folk consider dictionaries to be such a source.
-
Really? In America when Americans see a black person smoking they think that said person most likely is a Jamaican? It is to laugh.
-
For a minute there, I thought you were going to introduce evidence and not just double down on your unsupported assertion. I should have known better. Thank you self-appointed spokesman for speakers of American English everywhere.
-
And what has that got to do with your claim that lefties are 50% Marxist?
-
Owners also want to control wages hours and standards. That leads to negotiations. But what has that got to do with unions controlling the means of production? As the word indicates, it's owners who own the business and ultimately control it.
-
Your apparent indiscriminate awe of a Marxist scholar is in a way refreshing but also sad. That stereotype of Jamaicans may play in your brain or her father's, and it may have some traction in the UK, but it's not much of a thing in America.
-
What have unions got to do with workers controlling the means of production? And what the unions have to do with your characterization of lefties as being 50% Marxist?
-
Thanks for offering no evidence to support your claim. After all, who are we to trust? Experts on language or an anonymous member of aseanow.com?
-
Tossing around those empty percentages again? I'm not sure you understand that Marxism is about workers controlling the means of production. I don't recall seeing any advocacy for that position in this topic. Or for that matter in any of the others.
-
A predilection for smoking marijuana is a racial stereotype? What century are her father and you living in? Hyper woke much?
-
-
Unlike so many people that right wingers reflexively accuse of being Marxists, Harris's father actually is a Marxist. For shame on her for offending an actual Marxist!
-
And I don't care about your alleged difference. You've got nothing.
-
According to you, all lefties follow it MSNBC and the guardian. That's 100%. So unlessyou got a link to back that number up, you might want to look a little bit closer to home for someone who has a problem computing percentages.
-
Another empty characterization. Empty because it offers no evidence or reasoning to justify its claim.
-
Another dumb, evidence-free generalization. Frothing much?
-
The problem is your target audience understands what the national guard is and what it isn't. And it's not as though Walz has been hiding the fact that his day job before he was elected to office was being a teacher. Wel,l maybe if your source of news is Fox and points further to the right, it's news.
