If this is all you right wingers have to complain about I'd say Biden's doing a pretty dang good job. Get a grip.

You forgot to add that anyone larger than that must run fully upright, and fall if a finger touches anywhere below the hips.

Just saying, its really hard to take you serious when you keep throwing things out there like this; "Barry Hussain Sotoro," and you've done it across multiple posts. You're clearly an intelligent poster, I fully believe you can do better than this conspiracy type nonsense.

Please leave conspiracy theories on Q subreddits and parlor where they belong

For big corporations who rely on the cheap labor it certainly is. You know what would cut down on illegal immigration? Severely penalizing those that hire illegal immigrants, try getting your GOP officials to do that. They won't though, because its all a game and a talking point to the GOP. Tell the poor white folks brown people are taking their jobs and money, get them real angry so they'll vote for more GOP folks. Then on the flip side, take huge kickbacks and campaign donations from the corporations that hire the illegal immigrants in place of the white folks, and ensure that any legislation that is presented that would really solve the issue and/or punish the employers is gutted or stopped in its tracks. - Repeat ad nauseum and keep the working class white folks blaming the brown instead of the rich overlords as they should. Its sickening, but yeah pretend its the boarder that matters.

Wrong - they actively changed the rules and negated precedent twice. With Garland, they violated old precedent to create new- then with Barret- the negated their own new precedent to revert to the old. Both are d!(k moves and both illustrate the lack of character, morals, and a sense of fair play of the right. I attended a renaissance fair once. During the jousting competition the black knights motto was "Cheat to win," that motto has been embraced by the right tenfold.

Highlight films don't show how many of the plays got called back for flags.... ugh.

If I recall, there has been some version of this bill every year for the last 5 or so years. I think it originally stemmed from the Wayne State campus news paper having some big ordeal regarding this issue around about that time... I may be wrong though.

http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/poverty-a-leading-cause-of-type-2-diabetes-studies-say/#:~:text=Researchers found that living in,the risk by 26 percent. Prof. Dennis Raphael, one of the researchers, states that, “What we know about Type 2 diabetes is not only are low-income and poor people more likely to get it, but they’re also the ones that, once they get it, are much more likely to suffer complications. And the complications from Type 2 diabetes when they’re bad are really bad, whether it’s amputations, or blindness, or cardiovascular disease.” Researchers from York University, Toronto, analyzed two sets of data: the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the National Population Health Survey (NPHS). The first set of data showed that for men, being in the lowest-income category (earning less than $15,000 per year), doubles the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to being in one of the highest-income brackets (earning more than $80,000 per year). The risk remains the same when other risk factors are taken into account, such as education, body mass index and physical activity levels. The findings are even more striking for women in the lowest-income category. For them, the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes is more than triple the risk of women in the highest-income category. When education, body mass index and physical activity levels are taken into account, the risk is still well more than double. Results from the NPHS analysis are just as striking. Researchers found that living in poverty in the two years prior to diagnosis increased the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 24 percent, a risk not changed when factoring in weight or physical activity. Living in poverty at any time increased the risk by 26 percent. Generally speaking, subjects who lived more often in poverty during the 12-year study period had a 41 percent greater chance of developing the disease. When obesity and physical activity levels were taken into account, the risk remained very high, at 36 percent. The studies are consistent with other findings that link living conditions — what they call the social determinants of health — with Type 2 diabetes, as well as other ailments. Raphael, a professor of health policy and management at York, said conventional wisdom about Type 2 diabetes would suggest that once obesity, lack of physical activity and other lifestyle risk factors were taken into account, diabetes incidence rates would even out between lower- and higher-income groups. While weight, a sedentary lifestyle and other health problems are still key risk factors, the findings suggest that health-care workers who specialize in diabetes should be paying closer attention to the socio-economic conditions that can lead to them. “When you’re in a situation where 15 percent of kids and their families are living in poverty, and people are worried from day-to-day about their jobs and homelessness, and immigrants are not being provided with what they need to be healthy, and the evidence that suggests these are all things that contribute to the onset of Type 2 diabetes, there has to be more of a balance in how we understand the causes of illness,” Raphael said. But what is it exactly about living in poverty that contributes to Type 2 diabetes? The studies point to living conditions that put low-income adults and children at risk for myriad diseases, not just diabetes. First of all, there is the chronic stress of low-income living that can adversely affect health. The strain of being short on money and living in inadequate housing, or not having any housing at all, can spike levels of cortisol, a hormone released when the body is under stress. While cortisol helps the body deal with stress, constantly elevated levels can cause a wide range of negative side effects, such as high blood sugar levels or high blood pressure. Residents of lower-income neighborhoods also often find it difficult to access fresh, healthy foods and programs that promote physical activity, both of which are key to managing stress, controlling weight and, therefore, preventing disease. Raphael also points to previous research, which suggests adverse circumstances in early childhood, from low birth weight to deprivation as a youngster, raise a child’s risk of developing a number of conditions, from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases to diabetes. Indeed, a report released this week found that children who have ever lived in poverty have significantly poorer health outcomes than children who have never experienced poverty, ranging from developmental delays and psychological problems to higher rates of asthma and more frequent hospitalizations. “So we’re basically talking about systematic stress over time, lack of control that eventually leads to higher cortisol levels, among other things. Cortisol and other stuff literally messes up the ability of the body to use the insulin that’s available. And it’s not well understood,” Raphael said. For another part of their study, the researchers interviewed 60 diabetes patients who reside in low-income neighborhoods. What they learned is that the very conditions that contribute to diabetes also make it extremely difficult to manage the disease, meaning low-income patients are suffering from some of the most debilitating side effects. Raphael and his team found that insufficient income, inadequate or insecure housing and food insecurity were key barriers to managing the disease. According to their interviews, 72 percent of patients said they lacked the financial resources to follow the kind of diet needed to keep their diabetes in check. Many said they had to choose between paying rent or feeding their children and managing their disease. Barriers to better control can include: Lack of access to healthy foods, and free and safe physical activity programs. Stress and isolation, especially for lower-income seniors, which causes blood-sugar levels to spike. High costs of medical equipment, such as blood-sugar test strips. If patients don’t have private health insurance, they are paying for many of these supplies out-of-pocket. Experts need to advocate for more affordable food, better access to medications and supplies, and more community services to assist lower-income people prevent and treat diabetes. The findings show that tackling broader issues of poverty — lack of employment or under employment, housing, food security and health coverage — are key to managing diabetes, and other ailments.

In 2019, the share of Blacks in poverty was 1.8 times greater than their share among the general population. Blacks represented 13.2% of the total population in the United States, but 23.8% of the poverty population. The share of Hispanics in poverty was 1.5 times more than their share in the general population. Hispanics comprised 18.7% of the total population, but 28.1% of the population in poverty. My intent was clearly to point out the absurdity of your thought regarding an ice cream company's product doing more harm to communities of color than policy brutality. An asinine thought in and of itself. What's more if you'd do your research, the rate of diabetes and other nutrition based diseases is greatly increased in those who are living in impoverished communities, directly correlating your nonsense comment to the point I was making about impoverished people of color affording the product of the demon ice cream company you are suggesting has no right to exercise it's first amendment freedom of speech. Perhaps you should stick to making more coherent arguments rather than trying to "own the libs."

Oh yes, the brown and black communities are certainly the primary target audience for overpriced name brand Ice Cream. I am certain that over priced name brand ice cream has made a huge impact on the health of communities that primarily work at or below the poverty line. Every single corner store is stocked with the stuff in those neighborhoods. $5 dollar pints of ice cream roll off those shelves like Busch Light at a redneck wedding. It's incredible to see.

Republican officials have fought hard at the Supreme Court to ensure Corporate Personhood is a thing, so they could give their campaigns unlimited amounts of money. Now that those same corporations disagree with them, all I hear is they shouldn't be voicing their opinion. This is what your elected officials fought for, you should be proud that they are exercising the rights Republican elected officials granted them, not condemning them.

She was in fact, a trainer of other officers. She had a trainee with her when it happened, so we do have an idea.

If they were in active pursuit of a nonviolent, low risk, individual in a residential or business district the cops should get the blame. Their actions (pursuit) heightened the likelihood of collateral damage, unnecessarily. There are rules of engagement around this, and in your described scenario the right move is to stand down. Its the equivalent of superman taking the fight outside of the city.

I completely agree. Firearms should be used by police officials only as needed to protect themselves or general public, in this case neither the officer, nor the public were in danger if this guy escapes. However, his attempt to escape did cause the officer's reaction- the wrong reaction- but the reaction that led to his death.

In fairness, right or wrong, fleeing to avoid arrest greatly enhances an individuals likelihood of being shot. Had he not made the decision to flee, it is highly likely he would not have been shot. So he does bear some responsibility for making that decision. That said, the shooting still should never have happened.

HA- True Camacho did at minimum find the absolute smartest person in the land and then empowered him to "fix everything."

As it was foretold. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is a supporting protagonist in the film Idiocracy. He is the President of the United States, and a former pro wrestler and porn star. He delivers over-the-top, vulgar speeches when he addresses the nation, and gets people's attention by firing a machine gun into the air.

Ya, the problem is though, most of the independents distrust the Democrats just as much as the Republicans. So. with 30% of all voters registered as Independents, if there was and a viable centrist 3rd party for people who think their own party has gone too far to the extreme to escape to, combined it could be a powerful force to hold both parties in check. A viable third party would force other changes as well, such as, ranked choice voting and open primaries. Ultimately, my point though is that this is the first time in my lifetime anyway, that I could see a middle of the road party become a viable third option.

Ok, you got me, I'll put it this way- the Republican party as a whole has moved to the extreme right. The Democratic Party in safe Democratic states has moved to the left, but the party as a whole has not moved as far left as the Republicans have moved right, the democrats have been tethered somewhat to the center due to the need to compete in more rural states.

I really think that the country has never been more ripe for a 3rd Centrist party to emerge. Call it the Independence Party to play on how many people consider themselves to be Independents. Use the Independent voter registrations to build a base of support nationwide. Select viable middle of the road candidates to run. My opinion? At this point, you'd have 30-40 percent of the electorate in the party within 2 election cycles, or at minimum pull both parties back to the middle to shut out a viable third party. I think in the past third parties have failed because they have been generally way left, or way right of mainstream. This would be different as it would give the mainstream a place to escape the two parties that have moved way left, and way right.

In 2017, Canadians overstaying their visa made up the largest group of these migrants, followed by Mexicans. Nearly 93,000 Canadians stayed in the U.S. longer than they were permitted in 2017, https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/canadians-not-mexicans-represent-largest-number-of-visa-overstays-in-the-u-s-according-to-department-of-homeland-security

Man, don't you know how this goes. That Trump appointee was the best people for the job. But once he disagreed with Trump, it became apparent he was part of the deep state trying to overthrow Trump, and the only reason Trump hired him was to appease the RINO's. QANON said so!

I HATE taking my kids to well-visit appointments- they walk in healthy and two days later are sick as dogs. Every time.

Maybe those people are anti-brown people then instead of anti-immigrant. Why aren't we building a wall on our northern boarder. If we are so concerned about controlling the boarder the northern one would be just as important.
