  1. You clearly are not informed about the demographics of San Francisco. It is only 6 percent black. Very very low for a major city (see Atlanta). The non-whites living in San Francisco are overwhelmingly Asian and Latino. Yes, it is true that anti Asian hate crimes started to spike due to "President" Trump's racist characterizations about the pandemic and San Francisco being so heavily Asian would logically be getting more than the usual share.
  2. Why would you assume he's a foreigner? San Francisco’s Latino Heritage | San Francisco, CA (sftravel.com)
  3. Hope that their next target isn't people staying under true pretenses but having a bad attitude.
  4. Sounds like a CYA from the owners that your booking Is AYOR as it's illegal.
  5. DeSantis is actually more vile than Trump on social issues. Again he has done nothing for Florida. Midterm results prove voters want more than demagoguery.
  6. It will be neither of them. Trump isn't really running for president. It's a show run to try to shield him from prison. It's way way too early to coronate DeSantis. There are 100 other republican possibilities. DeSantis is untested nationally and it turns out he has no accomplishments. He's only about culture wars. Plus Biden being the incumbent means he's structurally favored to beat any republican.
  7. This was surprisingly excellent. I had expected a one sided hit piece for either the red or blue tribes. Instead it went very deep and explored the grey areas. It showed that the real truth of this social media event and its fallout didn't really match either of the extremely partisan narratives that the public saw. Red and blue tribes should both appreciate that.
  8. Till. This is a very good movie about the true story of the famous lynching of Emeitt Till age 14 and his mother's bold decision to show his dead body to the world. If you don’t know the story already you should know it and this movie though not a documentary would be one way to learn about it. The actors playing the mother and child were both brilliant. But that said while the movie definitely fully held my attention there was an element of aloofness about it that didn't fully engage me emotionally. Perhaps because I already knew the story well. Also I guess most people wouldn't consider the tragic subject matter particularly entertaining.
  9. Heck Trump deserves life in prison. He arguably deserves the guillotine for treason. But jailing ex presidents is so radically outside American norms (as was trump of course). So it will continue to appear unlikely unless and until it happens.
  10. This is already a big war but if it stays in Ukraine, think Marshall Plan 2.0 with Europe playing a major role. Of course if Russia wins, it'll be on them, but they don't care about the people there so Russia better not win.
  11. Not sure if it's possible but he may be able to dodge prison with some kind of grand plea deal that is designed to preserve the American normality of not jailing presidents. But for that he would need to admit guilt and Trump doesn't do that, so ... The chances of him being sent to the big house have been increased because of how much weaker he has been politically including of course own goals such as Dine Kampf. There will be fear in the DOJ that convicting him could spark a civil war but as his support is slipping away, not that much.
  12. Indeed he has lots to run on and also some missteps as any human leader would have. We don't need campaigns all the time. When the Biden campaign starts I expect he will employ good messaging to get him over the line. For example in the midterms many fellow democrats said lay off the save democracy stuff from republican fascists and focus only on the economy. He ignored them. Biden was right. Bottom line, he's an underrated politician and president. Remember the amazing comeback in South Carolina when most everyone (including me) had written him off. There may be power in people not fully getting his effectiveness. From Let's go brandon to dark Brandon, who's laughing now!
  13. And if it doesn't Ukraine will cease to exist as a sovereign nation. Let's face it That guy has a propaganda agenda for a motivation that he won't reveal. Waste of time.
  14. So they should be slaves of Putin then.
  15. You're positions are virulently anti-Ukranian regardless.
  16. Trumpist has much wider usage. Trumpism is much bigger than the one man. Unfortunately.
  17. It's obvious already that he's running. Jill Biden is publicly on board. Inflation is going down and the midterms went as well as any democrat could have reasonably hoped for. Biden is a respected world leader in the west uniting against Putin. Only a health crisis could stop him.
  18. Very few people are thrilled about Biden again but he'll have the same argument as before. Electability and as the incumbent probable winner. Historically incumbents almost always win.
  19. How do you know he speaks well? He hasn't even spoken nationally yet. Florida is a red state. So you think he can get elected by demonizing LGBT people a la Putin? Possible but no shoe in.
