We are all to blame.

MORE DISCLAIMERSThe following must read article was written by Gary Younge for The Guardian. (Shout out to one of Philly's finest writers, Will Bunch, for turning me on to it via twitter.)  

While writing a New Yorker profile on Donald Trump in the late 1990s, Mark Singer attempted to discover something about the businessman’s private thoughts, as opposed to his outsized, public persona. When Singer asked him what he thought about when shaving in front of the mirror, Trump did not really understand the question.

“OK, I guess I’m asking, ‘do you consider yourself ideal company?’” Singer said. “You really want to know what I consider ideal company?” replied Trump. “A total piece of ass.”

Divining, assessing and adjudicating the mental health of this US president has become more than just a parlour game. Following a 2017 conference, 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health experts wrote a book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, arguing it was their moral and civic “duty to warn” America that “for psychological reasons”, Trump was “more dangerous than any president in history”. They diagnosed him with everything from “severe character pathology” to “delusional disorder”, which can be added to the more common verdicts of “narcissistic personality disorder” and “antisocial personality disorder” which are regularly offered.

His behaviour and comments over the past fortnight would appear to not only confirm these conclusions, but to suggest his condition is deteriorating. There has been the appalling treatment of Harry Dunn’s parents, and his reference to his own “great and unmatched wisdom”. He sent a letter to the Turkish president, Recep Erdoğan, warning him: “Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool. I will call you later.” On Wednesday, in a single press conference with the Italian president, Sergio Mattarella, he attacked Google, Amazon, Germany, France, Spain, his guest and the European Union, as well as several US intelligence and law enforcement officials.

Later that day, Democratic leaders walked out of a White House meeting with him after he continually insulted them. But not before he told House speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I hate Isis more than you do,” and claimed “I captured Isis … in one month.”
As the threat of impeachment leaves him more isolated, and an election he may lose makes him more vulnerable, we can expect more bizarre behaviour and, consequently, more attempts to frame his actions as those of an unstable and unhinged despot. Such depictions are tempting. They should also be resisted.

Trump’s state of mind is, of course, relevant. He is the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military forces in the world. He has the nuclear codes. He is impulsive and capricious. He lies constantly, unashamedly and apparently compulsively. It is deeply worrying that the executive powers of the presidency lie in the hands of a man who is at one and the same time so brittle, aggressive, vindictive, ridiculous and self-obsessed. His decision to abandon a longstanding ally in Kurdistan and pull US troops out of Syria, against all military advice, is a case in point.

But to reduce his presidency to this – one man and his frail mind – is to ignore how he got there, all he has said and done since he has been there, and how he remains there. (It also risks reducing mental health to a lazy slur.) Just because he believes he will go down in history as a great man doesn’t mean we have to subscribe to the “great man theory of history” – the theory which claims events are moulded not by ordinary people, social movements and economic processes, but by key individuals who stamp their will on the world through force of personality.

For along with Trump’s personal frailties is a series of political characteristics that underpins his anomie. He is a misogynist, a racist, a xenophobe and a nationalist. Those are not psychological descriptors but political ones, fortified by systems and ideology.

As such, his behaviour has been irascible but hardly erratic. The rhetorical objects of his disdain are not random. He has not lashed out at the National Rifle Association, the religious right or white people. Politically, his tantrums invariably find their mark in the weak, the poor, the dark, the female, the Muslim, the marginalised and the foreigner. (He will attack powerful people, but not simply for existing. They must cross him first.)

These inclinations were clear when he stood for the presidency. He has been every bit as bigoted, undisciplined, indiscreet, thin-skinned and braggadocious as his campaign promised. And he won.
This was not because people didn’t see those things, but because they either didn’t care, cared about other things more, preferred him to the alternative, or simply didn’t show up. As such, his victory marked a high point for the naked appeal of white supremacy in particular and rightwing populism in general, and a low point for the centre-left, neoliberal agenda.

True, he did not win the popular vote, but nonetheless close to 63 million people voted for him. True, his party lost the House of Representatives in the 2018 mid-term elections. But they also gained two seats in the Senate – the first time the party holding the presidency has achieved that since 2002 – in the wake of a synagogue shooting and mail-bomb attacks inspired by his rhetoric. True, more than half of the country wants to impeach him; but about 40% still approve of the job he’s doing. The one thing that stands between him and impeachment is the party behind him in both houses.
Even his thuggish “America first” foreign policy stands as part of a tradition. In 1964, when the Greek ambassador tried to point out the shortcomings of the US plan to partition Cyprus, President Lyndon Johnson replied: “Fuck your parliament and your constitution … We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mr Ambassador. If your prime minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and constitution he, his parliament and his constitution may not last long.” He would never have put that in a letter. But three years later, Greece was under a brutal military junta backed by the US from which it did not emerge for seven years.

In other words, this particular form of insanity – if that is what it is – enjoys mass, if not majority, support, institutional defence and historical precedent. It is the mindset of more than just an individual. Trump’s presence serves a purpose and interests. If he is a lone wolf, how do we explain the likes of Boris Johnson or Silvio Berlusconi, who share so many of his “idiosyncratic traits”, from accusations of sexual harassment to a cavalier attitude towards democratic norms and casual racism.
“The great man of the age,” wrote Friedrich Hegel – using “great” to mean powerful rather than wonderful – “is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and essence of his age; he actualises his age.”

As such, in his desire to blame everyone but himself, in his lies, bullying, despotism, insecurity, ineptitude, cheating, scapegoating, preening self-regard, vanity and ignorance, Trump is an emblem of the free-market, white supremacist nationalism that is ascendant in this moment.

Ultimately there may be a medical or therapeutic intervention that can help him; but only a political intervention can help us get rid of him. [Source]

The rhetorical objects of his disdain are not random. He has not lashed out at the National Rifle Association, the religious right or white people.

In other words, he eschews the targets the ctrl-Left demonizes and he supports the people who voted for him.  Not ENOUGH support; white people still don't have an immigration moratorium or a ban on affirmative action for people not descended from slaves.  But slashing refugees is a start.

Politically, his tantrums invariably find their mark in the weak, the poor, the dark, the female, the Muslim, the marginalised and the foreigner.

"Muslim" and "foreign" mean "people who should not be in America" but the author would faint dead away if you said this to her face.  The rest are leftie hysteria.  Trump has done more for "dark" people than anyone this century; black unemployment is at a record low.

And blacks hate him.  Such ingratitude should be repaid by free trips to Africa.  One-way.

The Guardian is a source of much unvarnished truth about us, for whatever reason. And the story about Johnson confirms a lot about that sonofabitch. I still remember him signing the Civil Rights Act, sitting while MLK had to stand. Something wrong about that picture. Not to mention the episodes meeting cabinet members while he was on the toilet. Not even Trump has stooped to that.

No, Mr. Gary Younge, "We are All to Blame" is a misguided statement. I and the other sixty-three million Americans who voted for Hillary are not to blame for Trump's election. Place the blame where it belongs, on the sixty million who voted for Trump and on our undemocratic Electoral College system that has given us two disastrous presidents in the last 20 years.

Neither G.W. Bush not Donald Trump were elected by the vote of the people of the United States and both have tried to destroy what is left of our republic.

The over the top, hysterical, irrational hatred of Trump has nothing to do with what he has done in office. He functions as a symbol of what you hate most: A successful white male. Brash, arrogant, unapologetic for existing, he stands in the way of the dismantling of America. He is your Emanuel Goldberg, a place to focus your hate of those who would even temporarily delay your bloody revenge on those you blame for your shortcomings.

In the name of democracy you seek to overturn an election. In the name of the Constitution you launch unconstitutional impeachment inquiries. In the name of justice, you conduct unjust investigations seeking to invent crimes while you ignore blatant crimes committed by your side.

The Democratic candidate paid for Russian disinformation to sway the election. The Democratic administration coerced the Ukrainian government by withholding aid unless they supplied dirt on their opponents and quashed investigations into their corruption. They used foreign intelligence agencies to provide false cover for spying on the opposition campaign. And they covered it all up by accusing the target of their crimes of doing the very things they themselves had done.

Yesterday we learned that Hillary Clinton believes that Donald Trump plans to stay in office forever, that she has secret information that Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein are Russian assets, and that ten year olds are responsible for her election loss.

This is the person you would have foisted on the American people as their President. A lifelong criminal who is willing to tell the most ridiculous lies to further her insatiable lust for power and money. A person who thinks half the country is deplorable and the other half are morons.

But instead, the American people picked a guy who has made the economy hum, fought for the American worker, and put a brake on the Endless War machine.

I never voted for Obama. I though he was an empty vessel that would be used to impose a destructive agenda on America, which to some extent he was. But in retrospect, a McCain or a Romney presidency would likely have been worse. I'll give you credit for that.

We'll take the credit for saving you for the blame of a Hillary presidency.

The constitution says the president can't take money or gifts from foreign governments without congressional approval, which has been denied for presidents such as Lincoln and Jackson.

The congress is specifically denying approval for the G7 leaders and their entourages to give Fergus any money, making his corrupt attempt at propping up his failing, bed bug infested property at Doral with the conference a ready made article of impeachment.

"The final investigative report clearing all of wrongdoing?"

Say what?

The investigation, launched more than three years ago, determined that those 38 people were “culpable” in 91 cases of sending classified information that ended up in Clinton’s personal email, according to a letter sent to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley this week and released on Friday. The 38 are current and former State Department officials but were not identified.

The investigation covered 33,000 emails that Clinton turned over for review after her use of the private email account became public. The department said it found a total of 588 violations involving information then or now deemed to be classified but could not assign fault in 497 cases.
...
Although the report identified violations, it said investigators had found “no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information.”

However, it also made clear the Clinton’s use of the private email had increased the vulnerability of classified information.


Let's not forget the fact that she lied when she she said that she had gone to State Department officials for approval and that they signed off on it.

Of course, since they once again offer Hillary an out by concluding she didn't really mean to do it, you are more than willing to swallow this spin for your team. Let's just blame the underlings again and "Move On".

Wouldn't the culpability lie with the boss who has set up this illegal system and ordered people to only contact her via this system?

It appears you are correct.

Why have a vote to conduct an inquiry when you can just go ahead with it anyway? Why go ahead with it when the Congress votes no?

The Dems have a majority in the House and could pass such a resolution without a single Republican vote. The fact that they can't is an indication that the sane portion of the Democratic congress knows this will turn out badly for their party.

"Why have a vote to conduct an inquiry when you can just go ahead with it anyway? Why go ahead with it when the Congress votes no?"

The non-vote allows the House Intelligence Committee to shower subpoenas on the White House and create the impression, through the innuendo of activity, that Trump’s call with Zelensky was not merely a high crime (highly debatable) but the tip of widespread conspiracy (less debatable).

The non-vote allows hyper-partisans like Rep. Adam Schiff to keep testimony secret when useful, selectively sharing useful snippets of evidence with media allies who then dutifully curate all the leaks into a useful political narrative. After two years, and dozens of misleading stories fueling Russia collusion coverage, former special counsel Robert Mueller ultimately debunked Schiff’s core contention. With Ukraine, the congressman only needs to propel his production into November 2020.

Pelosi’s delay also allows Democrats to shield the name of the intelligence whistleblower. I bet Linda Tripp wishes she had been so lucky. No, this isn’t a criminal trial, but you suspect many voters who are okay with a hypothetical impeachment would regard the act of facing an accuser a matter of fundamental fairness.

Trump's crime isn't just extorting favors from a foreign government; that does indeed happen all the time; it was extorting _personal_ favors from a foreign government. Had he been extorting favors in the national interest, then that would have been business as usual.

"True, but extorting a foreign leader to do you a favor by smearing a political opponent and thereby helping you win reelection is an impeachable offense."

That's exactly what the Democrats did in 2016. While Biden's extortion was primarily aimed at protecting his son's corrupt dealings, it was far from the only way they squeezed Ukraine:

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446

In its most detailed account yet, the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country's president to help.

In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.


https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/441892-ukrainian-embassy-confirms-dnc-contractor-solicited-trump-dirt-in-2016

"Democrats and their operatives sought foreign help for anti-Trump dirt on a number of occasions during the 2016 election and afterward, including the infamous Kremlin-sourced dossier and Rep. Adam B. Schiff’s attempt to obtain from Russians supposed photos of a naked Donald Trump.

Democrats also reached out to Ukraine to collect political smut on President Trump and his aides."

What exactly was Hunter Biden accused of doing by any legal entity in Ukraine? Where is your proof Biden was even investigated?
Where is any proof Joe biden did anything to protect his son, who WAS NOT under investigation?

4. What criminal charges came out of this?
None. Burisma issued a statement in 2017 saying that “all legal proceedings and pending criminal allegations” against it and Zlochevsky were closed and that it paid an extra 180 million hryvnias ($7 million) in taxes. There’s also no known evidence that any of the investigations ever involved Hunter Biden. Ukraine’s former prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, told Bloomberg News in May that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens.

You wingnuts pulled this same shit in every investigation of Clintons and other Dems. You rely on outright lies and totally made up shit with no proof of any wrongdoings, then when that fails you do it all over again- same shit different day.

These facts about Ukraine came out in January of 2017. They should have impeached Obama a few days before he left office?

Trump has not been "caught" doing anything. Read the transcript. The Democrats have fabricated this charge to cover up their own dealings with Ukraine, just like they fabricated the Russia collusion hoax to cover up Hillary paying for Russian disinformation on Trump.

Letting the Pig People fly their porcine flag in all of its hideous glory has value, especially to those who live among sane people and don't realize how fucked up that slice of the electorate really is, and so still harbor delusions about being able to communicate in good faith with them on any but the most superficial level.

Driftglass calls them the tribe that rubs shit in their hair, because they pass the lies from their propaganda around like turd hairdos and admire each others merde coiffures in private celebrations of each other's hairy, brown, creativity and then are shocked when they go out in public and are shunned by polite society and anyone with a working olfactory sense.

Trying to ignore their existence and just get on with your day can help you keep your personal sanity, but led to Fergus' election in '16, as far too many sane people just said "Nobody that fucked up can actually get elected."

Remember that it was less than 80,000 votes in three states that installed the rat bastard in the oval office, so aside from all the well documented cheating they did, +/- 100,000 sane people in those three states who stayed home out of a false sense of security got us here to begin with.

Which is why we can't let the Republicans and their media enablers get away with the rebranding that's currently getting into full swing. No denial of the support of this monster, or the next monster will be even worse. They always are.

Just like the bogus "Tea Party" was just Republicans running from the flaming wreckage of the Bush administration like German soldiers fleeing Berlin, stopping only long enough to burn their uniforms, then donning stupid costumes with tricorn hats and dangling teabags and claiming they'd never even heard of this Bush fellow who they voted for twice and cheerled while he buggered the country like no other modern president at the time, right now the centrist media is fascinated with the "never Trumpers" who are just Republicans who are shocked to discover that the Republican party is full of Republicans and so now want to tell us how to run our primary.

Only this time we're not buying it.

Burn the motherfucking lifeboats, these fucks have to own this for a long time this time, and putting their awful thoughts and beliefs on prominent display is one way to help make that happen. Yes, they do exist, they are really that fucked in the head, and here's ten examples of that for evidence.

These facts about Ukraine came out in January of 2017. They should have impeached Obama a few days before he left office?

Trump has not been "caught" doing anything. Read the transcript.

Looks like the whole Bible is already outlawed in Canada:

https://www.theblaze.com/news/preacher-arrested-for-sharing-gospel-in-lgbtq-neighborhood

What happened?

Global News video showed Lynn walking in the area of Church and Wellesley Streets and preaching with an amplified microphone. The outlet said some of his comments included "dispel and remove the kingdom of darkness from this area" and that he's "coming out as a Christian."

Image source: Global News video screenshot

Police said it was alleged that residents and business owners asked Lynn to stop numerous times.

Video showed a crowd confronting and arguing with Lynn.

Image source: Global News video screenshot

Opponents held banners and signs — some in an apparent attempt to block others from seeing him.

Image source: Global News video screenshot

Lynn also said the area "is full of bigots," the outlet added.

Police asked Lynn to stop using his microphone and leave the area, Global News said. But while he dispensed with his microphone, he went right on speaking without amplification — and then cops arrested him, the outlet said.

=====================================

For those snowflakes too sensitive to follow a link to The Blaze, it is rather obvious that Lynn is a POC.  So here you have a POC who has been arrested in Canada for doing something that you say Americans should never have to worry about doing because You Are So Tolerant.

We had campus preachers in my student days, but I never heard of any of them being arrested.  Times have obviously changed; the left is far less tolerant of anything and anyone who does not bow down to the dogma.

FBI determined there were only 13 mobile devices and only 8 of them had been used while HRC was SOS. The missing 32000 emails were determined by lawyers to be HRC's personal emails and she had every right, under the rules of State to do what she wanted with them.

As for the hammer job, Wired said they should have used a jack hammer to ensure no one could access any info from the discarded devices. They were not part of the evidence chain and HRC committed no crime in destroying them. The law requires they be destroyed.

And the 32000 emails were destroyed but there is no evidence HRC knew they were destroyed after a subpoena was issued for them.

Asking for assistance in the investigation of corruption at the highest level is not a crime, especially since no threat, implicit or otherwise, was made to withhold aid.

You want a clear example of a shakedown? Here's Joe Biden bragging about one:

"I remember going over and convincing our team, others, to convince that we should be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev. And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didn’t.

So they said they had—they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him. (Laughter.) I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."

mike from iowa said...

The president said—I said, call him. (Laughter.)

Which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Biden was only the messenger, not the policy maker.

You just want to key on Biden because he will kick the shit out of Drumpf in the election, along with about 5 other Dems, except drumpfuck the pathological lying crime boss won't be a free man for the election.

First order of business for whichever Dem gets the White Houe fumogated and de-stenched is to start an immediate4 data base of all the losers that voted for Drumpf and assign however many of them each large farm needs to raise crops and cattle/swine.

Each forced worker gets minimum wage and has their wages taxed for SS and Medicaid, which they will not be allowed to accrue because they will get fired every couple years and have to start SS Tax payments anew.

One way to help ensure farmers and ranchers get their crops raised and marketed. Workers will get minimum health care and will regularly doused with toxic chemicals to kill weeds and pests, just like now.

Two problems with your recommendation.
1. Article 4. of the Constitution of the United States states that such policies are forbidden. I'm not going to copy it for you, so look it up yourself.

2. Suppose the stop and search policy was aimed at white males? How "inconvenient" for you would it by if police stopped you regularly on the street and frisked you? Not likely to happen to me, you say? Well, if they can do it to others eventually they can do it to you. Wake up.

Not true. They are "alleged criminals" unless and until they are convicted legally. However, walking, talking, driving, babysitting, hanging out on the porch, going to the park, grilling and a host of other normal things done while black are not crimes and should not bet an excuse for cops to start racial incidents against innocent people.

More wishsplaining from PilotX.

No President is ever going to be impeached over a perfectly legitimate call with a foreign leader.

This illegitimate impeachment effort has been going on since the day Trump was inaugurated. First it was made up Russian collusion charge designed to cover up Hillary's actual collusion and Obama's illegal spying on the Trump campaign. When that failed, it was false charges of obstruction of the phony collusion investigation. Since Trump didn't Bleach Bit subpoenaed records, that failed too.

Now it's a ridiculous charge that Trump extorted Ukraine by asking for help investigating Biden's documented extortion of Ukraine to cover his son's corrupt dealings.

Really?

Everything they accuse Trump of doing, they actually did. There is no evidence Trump did any of it. This a series of sham investigations in search of phantom crimes using pretend evidence.

Trump's crime is that he is trying and often succeeding to restore a conservative America at a time when his opponents thought that the mere idea was not just impossible but unhinged. We are currently in an economic boom while most of the world economy abroad is inert. We are pushing back on unfair Chinese trade practices that have greatly harmed American workers. We are pulling back from the endless meaningless wars that have cost us our sons and bankrupted the country.

The permanent uni-party of war mongers, foreign money quislings, open borders promoters, and cheap labor providers hate that Trump has cut into their profits. Their media tells you what a bad guy he is, and you bark like a good dog.

The Ruling Caste has created a simplified story --- a mythology, we could say, a mythos -- which simplifies the unruly chaos of the real world into a more easily-grasped (and very untrue) vision of the world and teaches certain morals and virtues (claimed morals and virtues, anyway) based upon that mythology.

This mythos just coincidentally also happens to justify why they are the only ones Fit to Rule. All aspects of the mythos are designed to, or by happy accident, identify problems (or fictionalized, simplified versions of problems) which the Ruling Caste is uniquely able to solve, due to their education, their good taste and judgment, and their breeding.

And when someone comes along and challenges this mythology and actually starts representing the interests of the middle and working classes, you all rise up in howling defense of the Ruling Caste.

Trump is not part of the permanent Washington establishment of Democrats and Republicans, the lap dogs of the Ruling Caste, who have joined forces from the start to preserve their hold on power.

Trump is traitor to his class, in that he prioritized the interests of working people over the rich. He has likely not done this out of the goodness of his heart, but out of a realization that a majority of American voters were sick and tired of being fucked over for the purpose of enriching a globalist elite. He is President because he recognized this opportunity, which had been just sitting there for decades, and because all the other politicians were too beholden to their masters to seize it.

It's difficult to understand your fixation with Chicago, since Chicago has a per capita homicide rate that is lower than many other cities. Look it up, Google it. Is it because PilotX lives there or is it because Barack Obama lived the for awhile?

And the truth remains that you can't take rights away from others without taking them from yourself. Maybe that subject is too deep for you to address?

How much money did Obama make in book sales while president?
--------------------------

10:37 PMThen came the big money. In the two weeks before he was inaugurated as the 44th president, Obama reworked his book deals. He agreed not to publish another non-fiction book during his time in office, while signing a $500,000 advance for a young adult version of Dreams From My Father. He also finished the manuscript for Of Thee I Sing: A Letter To My Daughters, which was eventually published in November 2010. He donated all post-tax profits from the children’s book to provide scholarships for children of wounded and fallen soldiers.

Choosing to take Putin's word over his own intelligence agencies, releasing secret information in a meeting from which the press was banned, working to get Russia back into the G-8, conceding Syria to Russia so now they have a foothold in Western Asia which they sidn't have prior and a few other tells.

Your deflection doesn't work very well. First, I said white males. 2. I said nothing about Chicago. The only famous "stop and frisk" policy was conducted in New York City, not "Chicago".

Granny, just because you didn't hear about Chicago's attempt to stop the shootings with stop & frisk doesn't mean it didn't happen.  It got the Illinois ACLU all up in arms, because they were stopping and frisking blacks all out of proportion to their population share! (but not out of proportion to their criminality)

The ACLU was all proud of what they'd done and crowed about it:

https://www.aclu-il.org/en/campaigns/stop-and-frisk

They made the police fill out an Investigative Stop Report for every stop they made, to make sure the police weren't "discriminating".  You can download the ISR data here:

https://home.chicagopolice.org/statistics-data/isr-data/

Because stopping Dude Inc. was "discrimination" according to the ACLU, the CPD pretty much quit doing stop & frisk.  Dude Inc. no longer had any reason to be afraid of carrying illegal guns.

That was in 2015.  Know what else happened in 2015?  Chicago's murder count went up more than 10% from 2014, from 464 to 512... and in 2016 it jumped another 58%, to 808.  That is 380 more dead people in just 2 years, most of them black.

Know why Americans (meaning, not you) laugh when anyone says Black Lives Matter?  If black lives mattered blacks would be DEMANDING the end of the ACLU consent decree to get Dude Inc. under some semblance of control again.  But blacks obviously don't care.  Why should anyone else?  Fuck y'all.

It's difficult to understand your fixation with Chicago, since Chicago has a per capita homicide rate that is lower than many other cities.

You mean, like New Orleans?  Murder has the same color there too:  black.

And the truth remains that you can't take rights away from others without taking them from yourself.

I would be THRILLED to give up the right to live and move among people who aren't my race, if other races had to do the same.  My quality of life would go WAY up if I didn't have to worry about running into blacks.  And so would everyone else's... except blacks.  Not even blacks want to live with blacks.

It's on the Wikipedia list of cities with the highest murder rates in the world.  Interestingly enough, the top 10 are all in Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil.  Now just what do they all have in common?

US cities don't make an appearance until #15, St. Louis.  St. Louis is plurality-black at 49%.  US cities don't appear again until San Juan at #42 (almost all non-white), Detoilet at #46 and then New Orleans (both majority black).

Why don't you ask yourself where are all the guns used in homicides coming from.

Why aren't they "causing" homicides where they come FROM?  Did it ever occur to you that guns are INANIMATE OBJECTS?  They do not "cause" ANYTHING.

Don't you find it remarkable that a gun can be owned by a white for years and years and harm nobody, but as soon as a black steals it, it can be used in a bunch of shootings in weeks or even days?  Who's responsible here:  the gun, the white or the blacks?

Why doesn't law enforcement put a stop to that?

You are a coal-burner of very little brain, who thinks guns are magic talismans which cause people to do things.  Law enforcement should put a stop to you and your senile nonsense.

BTW, if you hate Blacks, you can choose to move to Wyoming, Utah or Idaho where the black population is small.

What stops the black population from being bused in on Section 8 vouchers?  I want to live in a place they are PROHIBITED to live, or even visit.

Stop and frisk is a violation of the Constitution; being black is not.

You fail to grasp how Affirmative Action works. It's not discriminating against whites it's seeking qualified candidates from diverse places. That's all.

This is just bull poop. As someone who was required to know the Affirmative Action guidelines as part of my job, I know that all you have said here is false. I gave you references to the look up the law, so you would know what you were talking about. Obviously you didn't bother read them. Instead, you posted right-wing lies.

PilotX said...

"Typically, adverse impact is determined by using the four-fifths or eighty percent rule. The four-fifths or 80% rule is described by the guidelines as “a selection rate for any race, sex, or ethnic group which is less than four-fifths (or 80%) of the rate for the group with the highest rate will generally be regarded by the Federal enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact, while a greater than four-fifths rate will generally not be regarded by Federal enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact.”


Just as I suspected, the guidelines do not specify blah people. You just assumed and read that into the rule. If read correctly if 80% of the employees are women then it is implied there is implicit discrimination against men. You just added the white/blah language, how racist of you. Your reading comprehension skills are a bit suspect sir.

PilotX said...

"As someone who was required to know the Affirmative Action guidelines as part of my job, I know that all you have said here is false."

Yeah, typical racist tactic. They search the internet to find ANY scantilla of information to prove their racism so even debunked BS is fair game. Just wait til he starts posting the pseudo science about how skin pigmentation has something to do with intelligence. They're all the same.

PilotX said...

"If your employment process reveals evidence of adverse impact, it is important that you are able to justify your personnel processes and decisions. The presence of adverse impact does not require the elimination of the procedure (e.g. selection, promotion), but rather its justification as being job-related or a business necessity. Business necessity means that using the procedure is essential to the safe and efficient operation of the business — and there are no alternative procedures that are substantially equally valid and would have less adverse impact."


And yet more BS. No one is forced to hire anyone, a business is just required to explain why they have a monolithic work group. Did you actually read and understand what you posted?

PilotX said...

And Gambler is correct, no one is forcing anyone to hire anyone or change or lower their standards if done correctly. For example, let's say you run an engineering business and want to diversify your workforce how would you go about doing it? If I were tasked with recruiting qualified people of color and women I would go to schools that represent such and reach out to professional organizations like NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) and recruit at their convention. While I was there I'd also have a good time cause I'm sure they have some great social events. But that's just me and I assume Gambler.

------------------
You are correct, PilotX. As director of the learning center at a large, public university, I diversified the student tutors by vigorous recruitment tactics. Using the university Honor Roll list, I sent letters to a large number of under represented students, inviting them to apply to be tutors at the center. After they applied, we interviewed those who were qualified and filled many positions with these students. This process did not discriminate against a single white student. No qualified white student was denied a job because of our diversity efforts. As a result, many more "minority" students began coming to use the center because they saw role models there.

It isn't rocket science. It's really quite easy to diversify without discriminating against white people.
