The only reason Missouri isn't a solidly blue state is because Kansas pulls all the yuppies in the west, and East St. Louis keeps the poor population down in the east.
If it weren't for KS an IL, Missouri would have gone blue 30 years ago.
You're welcome.
Next election she'll likely be running against one of the most popular politicians in the state (Derek Schmidt, the AG, and former Senate pres.). She only got into office in the first place because JoCo doesn't like Kris Kobach, and he ran an awful campaign.
She's finished.
Really puts the old debate about life imitating art vs. the opposite into a new context, doesn't it?
How disappointing. That amount of drugs could have killed a lot of losers.
Bad dog.
You're going to start seeing a lot more MTGs in the Republican party, just like the Democrats are going to see more AOCs. Social media has changed the rules in politics, too. These new-gen pols realize they can get their own message out, with or without the party.
The center will not hold.
So wait, if I follow the logic here, that means Trayvon was resurrected, as George Floyd? And he's dying over and over again for the sins of all black criminals?
This is a fantastic idea. I'm gonna start The Church of Trayvon, get that old preacher from LA public broadcasting that swore like a sailor to call the congregation bitches, and rake in the bucks.
Been a bit more than 10 years. The last funny movie I saw was Tropic Thunder, in 2008. If a genuinely funny film has seen major release since then, I don't know what it was.
Situation is not unlike the one we find ourselves in as a nation.
If not here, where? Where else are you going to go? There are no greener pastures, this is it.
It's just another way for Democrats to fuck with rural state economies. Like most of the greentard stuff.
Notice how Democrats are never concerned about restoring the absolutely wiped out environment in places like NYC or San Francisco? They only care in places where it doesn't hurt them.
Being vilified for not doing your job beats the hell out of spending 20 years in prison.
After the Chauvin verdict, you can count on a lot more cops being 'unable to locate the suspect' in black neighborhoods.
I'm sorry for all the pain your friends choice is causing you, his family, and I'm sure many other people. Regardless of why it happened, watching someone you care about lie in a hospital bed and not get better is an awful thing, I honestly believe that part is in some ways harder than dealing with their death, at least once they're gone, it's over, you can begin to heal. Stay strong, try to get some sleep.
That said, I have to tell you, it's not the drug dealers fault. It never was. We like to blame dealers (the biggest of which are called pharmaceutical companies) because it's easier than admitting the truth, but that doesn't make it right.
After many centuries of doing it wrong, some European countries have finally figured out that the way to stop illegal prostitution isn't to focus on the whores, it's to focus on the johns. Supply will always meet demand, demand will not always meet supply.
The users are the problem, not the dealers.
If you're not a criminal, then you ain't black, Jack.
There's a short distance between never let a crisis go to waste, and manufacturing the crisis.
Dems have always seen black people as pawns. If a few tens of thousands of them have to get murdered to get their gun control dreams realized, it's a small price to pay.
I'm not an expert in this area, but I think it might be partially caused by people referring to them as poop skinned.
Plandemic is my fav, because I love me some subtle subversiveness.
It's almost as if normalizing drug abuse and addiction has the knock-on effect of empowering stupid people.
You really believe there is a substantial group of middle grounders on an issue like this? I can respect that, I just don't agree.
People either see what happened here and immediately recognize it as pure evil, or they're cheering it on because they're part of the evil.
That cop just had to do something awful, something he'll have to live with for the rest of his life, because he had no choice. And instead of rallying around him and giving him support and thanks for dealing with a terrible situation as best he could, people want to tear him down and make him out to be some monster?
All too often, ignorance is a conscious choice. We love to talk about the red pill, but from a human behavior perspective the blue pill is the more interesting case.
People aren't red pilled because they don't want to be.
If only leftists meant that they, personally, were literally coming after us, we could sort all this nonsense out in short order.
They don't have the courage for that.
Censorship breeds radicalism. That's true on the left, and the right.
Prisons are full of hate group recruiters who prey on ignorance and fear. They use the fact that average Americans have no grounding in world history to spread their radicalism and hate via half-truths and distorted narratives. They're able to do this because our history education shies away from teaching hard truths and presents everything as a good vs. evil paradigm.
She's right of course, but;
You waste your breath trying to appeal to degenerates with morality, decency, or any kind of values.
The only appeal they will ever understand is fear.
Isn't it amazing what achievement will do to a person? It is the ultimate anti-communism red-pill. A person who has truly achieved something cannot believe they are incapable of achievement. They are permanently forestalled from believing that, because they already have achieved.
That's not to say someone who has achieved can't become a supporter of communism (see James, LeBron). But an achiever's support of communism is never genuine. It's either arrived at through pity, or it's purchased, as is the case with most of our elites.
Of all the horrible shit going on in this country right now, this junkie reverence we're seeing, and it's not just George Floyd, is the part that fills me with despair.
These people deserve nothing but our disdain. I believe we should give repentant drug addicts a chance at redemption. One chance. But these gleeful junkies like Floyd, turning themselves into a kind of human cancer....they're the worst sort of human being. Even a murderer can do good, depending on who they kill. The only good that can come from someone being a fucking junkie, is them ODing.
The great travesty of the entire situation is that Floyd's degenerate lifestyle didn't kill him before he was able to destroy the life of multiple other people.
Fuck all junkies.
The market says that Dogecoin, a literal fake currency, is worth more than Ford Motor Company.
Yep, we're finished.
Same story we're seeing all over the country: The suburbs of places like Kansas City, Omaha, Tulsa, etc are just being invaded by out of state transplants who destroyed the place they came from, and are bringing their politics with them.
Thankfully the Kansas Legislature has a veto proof majority to redistrict and temporarily kick that do nothing gay Indian woman out of office. What a worthless representative, she literally does nothing.
