  1. A topic that has become popular to discuss in the U.S. is generational wealth. The truth is that many black Americans have generational wealth similar or greater than typical other than black Americans. But a disproportionate percentage of them don't. It's not only slavery but mortgage red lining, etc. If there are government policies that could level the playing field for historical damages to some extent (nobody is expecting perfection or full payback) what is the problem exactly?
  2. She just said she's open to discussions. She hasn't come out for any specific policy on the matter. The truth is the legacy of slavery hasn't been resolved yet in the U.S., and a step for that is such discussions. I fully support that and so would most decent Americans.
  3. I want to clarify. I do think most LGBTQ people internationally support both Israel's right to exist and also support the aspirations of Palestinians who are willing to accept that as well. But the minority faction that would march in a pro genocide River to the Sea parade under a Queers for Palestine banner are indeed silly clueless fools like marching chickens for KFC. Sample of Palestinian opinion.
  4. Trump. Useful idiot for Putin or Russian asset? Does it make any difference?
  5. Not surprising. Note the authors of the opinion piece. Kremlin propaganda repeaters.
  6. Zero chance of anything happening before Russia knows if they're gonna get their poodle Trump back.
  7. Jan 6 was disqualifying. Americans that think Trump should be allowed power again missed civics education.
  8. You live where? In any case ducks, geese, and rabbits are not a taboo food in US culture. Ducks and geese aren't pets though some people do have rabbit pets. All are delicious. Cats and dogs are taboo to eat in the US of course. So to you its ok to inflame hatred and threats of violence against minority communities by inventing lying memes?
  9. I use Britishisms ironically.
  10. Believeable. https://www.theatlantic.com/if-trump-wins/
  11. So was Mussolini.
  12. Who called anyone a liar here? Certainly not me.
  13. I didn't call "someone" a liar. Stop with the sleazy straw man game.
  14. Nothing wrong with teaching English. But someone who doesn't know the difference between accusing a person of doing an action -- lying -- and labelling that person a liar has very suspect qualifications for that role.
  15. Maga cultists are so perverted by their dear leader's constant lying that they mirror that in their behavior. Democracy really is in great peril if the majority of people can't agree on basic realities.
  16. Do you remember his response to Covid? That was saner? That's INSANE.
  17. OK fine mate. I just did. You're spreading obvious maga fascist disinformation. As I suspected. Shame on you. As engaging with you is so incredibly toxic and a waste of time, I will happily exit from doing so. BYE. Fact Check: Did an ABC Whistleblower Affidavit Say the Presidential Debate Was Rigged? | AllSides Summary from the AllSides News Team Screenshots of an affidavit by a supposed "ABC News whistleblower" swept X over the weekend after being shared by right-wing politicians and commentators. The affidavit appears to be fabricated.
  18. You're completely wrong. It's shocking that a teacher could be so ignorant on such a basic matter. I don't believe you are really a qualified teacher. Maybe some kind of TEFL deal. I could give you thousands of examples. Let's say you have a child who has stolen a candy bar. He has stolen. That is not the same thing as calling him a thief. Duh.
  19. Post your source. No doubt some maga B.S.
  20. The tax is on consumers that pay for the tariffs, NOT the foreign entities as ignorant liar Trump asserts. Logically they decrease demand for anything artificially price raised that way as well. So they can be used for policy goals.
  21. No, it is not. If you're an English teacher, I pity your students.
