Trump threw in the towel. He gave up IRS claims against individuals and the government + more unrelated claims for a process over which he has very limited control involving funds from existing appropriations. There is already a process for such claims. In essence, Trump gains talking points because the process uses new words like weaponization.
The problem is who is claimed things were were 'weaponized' against. He very likely broke laws that he was/should have been tried for. And the J6 insurrectionists got way more than they deserved when he pardoned them all. A lot of those people are repeat offenders and it should anger everyone that our tax dollars might end up in their hands.
@ohio-guy i don't think that's totally funny. dems and blacks have destroyed the city of stl. as they have destroyed so many other areas. memphis on and on. i am sick of it. there's violent crime here every day. and not in the hood. in south stl. downtown where we go to games. and now the blacks are driving out to the county and robbing neighborhoods with assault weapons. the comments on facebook are always the same: fatigue is real. i'm tired of it. blacks are tired of it, yet they vote to spite their interests, but i am willing to try more things. i'd love to see the police force tripled, judges who are tough on crime, and gbi/reparations what have you to the neediest black families with dates certain for termination and conditions. i'd be all for trying anything at this point.
what is the policy on banned posters coming back under another username?
That's the same poster who previously posted under a female user name, right? I noticed he was gone for a while and this place was much more civil as a result. Was he banned?
both ethnic and socioeconomic@ohio-guy no you're wrong again. only dems have been in charge for the last 75 years. one county over is maga republicans and you do not have these same problems. in fact that's where the growth is - away from the progressive dems to the maga county. why? schools. safety. not insane progressives that let criminals out
Compare Dem run counties to Republican run counties with the same demographics. Do you get the same or better crime numbers? I don't know.
Specifically what demographics?
I saw some data that showed ethnicity plays a much larger role than socioeconomic. I was a surprised. The top 1-2% of black income earners committed the same amount of crimes as a white person making around 30k. I'll post the chart if see it again. I ran it through Grok and it said it was legit.
There is genetic evidence to support & explain the role of ethnicity, independent of socioeconomic factors, but you’re not allowed to talk about it…
Sure you are. You and snarkcakes should link your sources so we can all learn something.

Here's part of Blanche's written memorandum:
"Once the funds are deposited into the Designated Account, the United States has no liability whatsoever for the protection or safeguarding of those funds, regardless of bank failure, fraudulent transfers, or any other fraud or misuse of the funds.”
"The funds" = $1.8 billion.
So the federal government absolves itself of liability, and the door is wide open for rampant fraud.
Just think of it as reparations, but to people that were actually wronged as opposed to their ancestors….
Anyone that is targeted & wronged by the justice system should be compensated…
@big-ryan I love how you pretend not to know “bowl.” If there’s a bigger phony out there I’d love to find it. Stick to hickory. If you debate on the merits I’ll drag you around by your toe.
amd don’t ask people not to respond when you passive aggressively mention them. Put on your pants and be a man. You pulled that sissy behavior with Brad on the old board. Be a man. Debate.

I agree with this sentiment, but I haven't seen anyone mentioned in this thread that was 'targeted & wronged' by the Justice System. If anything, most names and groups mentioned in this thread were let off easy.

That's an unfounded, baseless attack. I have an open mind, and I'm very inquisitive. Are you able to provide more than a very brief abstract, including some of the raw data from the longitudinal study? Who funded the study? Finally, do you have any research conducted by geneticists? The authors of the study you've referenced are criminologists.

Read the study & draw your own conclusions.
@oneeyedundertaker @ohio-guy what will make it hard is if pardons were issued while the cases were still pending. Otherwise you could draw lines. Convicted not eligible. Dismissed by court no plea eligible. Etc.

Because you’re familiar with all of the cases, right?

Go research for yourself & either learn enough to draw a conclusion one way or another or remain willfully ignorant. Nothing I provide will convince you….
