I’m going to wait until the end of the year to get on that train. I’m more nervous about the fallout in November in regards to the US falling away. No matter the outcome, it’s set up to be ugly. There is no way Trump wins with the popular vote, it will most likely be by even more this time around. If he wins, people will probably riot. If he loses, he will claim it was rigged and people will probably riot. i have a feeling the US is dealing with the easier problem right now. And the fact that we’re failing miserably makes me kinda nervous.

These people also think it's cool that a convicted felon doesn't need to serve jail time because Trump disagrees with the jury. I guess maybe that's why their scared, they are seeing crazy s#!t happen in the present and they don't want to see what might happen if it isn't "their guy" in charge...

Obama knew about Juneteenth. You can kick and scream all you want. You were wrong.

Granted, I've only watched it once about 2 months ago. But what are your thoughts? This doc (as i remember) basically says we're screwed unless we control the population. Is that what you think?

I got as far as equating Bernie Sanders with Venezuela... Bernie is too "left" for me, but even I know that's a ridiculous comparison. I tried, I really did.

The normal response about now, @Notre Dame Joe, is: "Oh. Okay." The "thanks" is up to you.

But if you insist: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/28/fact-check-president-barack-obama-mentioned-juneteenth-multiple-times/3269798001/

WTF are you talking about? You claimed Obama didn't know what Juneteenth was. His admin released a statement during his very first Juneteenth in office (probably more, but it was the first link that came up when I Googled "Obama Juneteenth"). Is this really an argument you are trying to have? There is no room for opinion here, Juneteenth was a thing long before this past June. Again, take the chance to admit you learned something. Denying reality really doesn't lend credence to your other posts. I don't see how admitting this would force you to change any other view you've shared on the board. Edit: Did I know what Juneteenth was before this year? NO. I didn't. But I took the time to do a little research and learn some interesting American History. Novel concept, this continued learning...

The irony is so thick it makes me wonder if people realize how stupid they actually sound. A President who demands a person who hasn't been convicted, tried, or even charged with a crime be "locked up!", but insists on a person found guilty be freed because "he's a nice guy" isn't empathetic. Trump is the person making our justice system political. There is no way to explain this away and people who cheer this "decision" are s#!tty Americans.

Man, what are you going to do with all that free time, @teachercd???

You were wrong. That’s it. There really was no need to reply. Juneteenth is something people, including Obama, knew about. Instead of trying to save face, you could just admit you’ve learned something about black history over the last month or so. It would be a much better look. But if you insist on playing the character...

Just because you don’t know, don’t assume others don’t. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/statement-president-obama-occasion-juneteenth

In other threads you were complaining about gun owners against government regulations. Now the anti-capitalism rant... No wonder people keep calling liberals "snowflakes". Don't go outside, you may melt!

Curious to where your hometown is. I grew up in Pierce, I feel exactly the same way.

I'll admit it. I'm not sure what you're even trying to get at. Are you claiming that it is a possibility that the Clintons could have a lot of power "behind the scenes", but they just can't use that power because it's "behind the scenes?"
