Here’s How Bryan Cranston Handles People Who Don’t Think Trump’s MAGA Slogan Is Racist

Actor Bryan Cranston explained to CNN’s Chris Wallace exactly why he believes Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan can be interpreted as racist.
Cranston first told Wallace over the weekend that it was “imperative” that critical race theory is taught in the United States and “that we look at our history much the same, I think, that Germany has looked at their history and involvement in the wars, I and II, and embrace.”

It was better to say, “This is where we went wrong. This is how it went wrong,” the actor suggested.
Cranston then turned to Trump’s rallying cry.

“When I see the ‘Make America Great Again,’ my comment is, ‘Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?’ And most people, a lot of people, go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’”

“I say, so, ‘Just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American?’” he continued. ”‘When was it great?’ So, if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.’”

Cost of billions along with millions of lives. How much should we fight with China if we confirm they let Covid escape one of their labs?

He calls men "troublesome and useless"... never trust a man who's been married... they hate themselves

It appears America has reached the point where our differences cannot be reconciled. Although I could attempt to delineate them, this article describes them better and what a separation might look like. For those of you who have short attention spans, limited by phones and video games to that of a goldfish, you'll never get past page three. But give it a try.

Something should happen before we start shooting, other than AntiFA and BLM, that already are. So the following poll. Amicable separation, civil war, acquiescence and submittal or your better idea. I support the first with the second as back up if the other guys need persuasion.

A supervised consumption program is where people can bring illegal drugs to a private medically supervised environment and use them without feaqr of arrest or overdose. Here is a good article about this:

99% of what andrew tate says about honor, fighting, women etc is directly out of the glory days of the ancient Roman empire. Fighters usually like history because it gives them meaning, its evolved, you're more likely to die fighting a battle if you think it will go down in history. Honor is why hyper masculine men care about the past, past countries, past leaders, ancestors, myths, their families etc. Whereas atheists are almost always physically weak, short, fat, basically women

I've personally learned more about human culture via history books than psychology or sociology books and to me that's more important than knowing what manic depression is. Just exercise and eat right and be healthy lol

Excuse me for rambling. I get that proclivity from my mom. Anyway, quite frankly, psychology is pseudoscience. 90-99% of it is outdated bullshit. You're better off reading history books and thinking for yourself about why people are how they are

Europe has some of the lowest sentences for gruesome crimes, yet has the lowest recidivism. We imprison more of our populace than most other countries and have the highest recidivism rates.

Is that because we base our sentences off emotion? Should we be?

News Outlets Demand Access To Jan. 6 Footage Given To Tucker Carlson By Kevin McCarthy

Several major media organizations have demanded access to the thousands of hours of video recorded inside the U. S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) gave the footage to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The letter, sent to congressional leaders Friday, argues the footage given exclusively to Carlson should be shared with other media groups. Earlier this week, McCarthy gave Carlson 41,000 hours of closed-circuit footage from inside the U. S. Capitol during the attack.

The letter was sent on behalf of ABC, Advance Publications, Axios, CNN, CBS, Gannett, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, ProPublica and Scripps.

Attorney Charles Tobin, representing the outlets, said full public access to the footage is needed to complete the historical record.

“Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and prosecutions of January 6 crimes,” Tobin wrote in the letter.
Carlson has repeatedly defended rioters who attacked the Capitol and called the hearings on Jan. 6 insurrection “propaganda.”

Property taxes have got to be the most anti-freedom thing to have (especially when our property taxes fund groomers in our public education system and power-tripping abusive law enforcement officers). Americans often flaunts the hardest and loudest of supposedly being the "freeiest people/country on earth" while happily being rear-end reyp'd by their federal and and state government with property taxes or else big daddy guberment will take away their houses even if they already fully paid off their mortgages.

Granted, only a few countries in the world don't charge property taxes toward people who already paid off their homes but at least the majority of other countries (with or without property taxes) never claimed to be the "land of the free".

If America truly wants to live up to their "land of the free" title, one of the things they should do is abolish property taxes and replace it with a much less intrusive tax system.

Everything needs a password to remember and verification. It’s so stupid!!

If anything makes me the happiest... it's that life is a trial and not the "be all and end all".

I say "both" is the most logical choice because the good things (like hobbies and food and commodities and other forms of entertainment) will come to an end.

But so will the bad things (unfairness, double standards, troubles, etc.)

Conservative judge could block nationwide abortion pill access any day now, as Dems fight for even broader access

An upcoming ruling by a conservative judge could lead to a ban on medication abortion in the U. S., but advocates for abortion healthcare filed their own lawsuit Friday to expand access.

U. S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, is expected to rule on a lawsuit filed last year by anti-abortion organizations. The groups seek to force the Food and Drug Administration to withdraw its decades-old approval of mifepristone, one of the two medications used for the medical termination of pregnancies.

The lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) — a prominent conservative legal advocacy organization designated as an extremist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to its decades-long work against LGBTQ rights — on behalf of four organizations and four doctors who object to the FDA’s authorization.

“We ask the court to hold the FDA accountable for its reckless, unlawful behavior,” said Erik Baptist, a senior counsel with the ADF, an organization that was also involved in the Mississippi case that eventually led to the overturn of Roe v. Wade last year.

A ruling is expected any day now, and a decision in favor of the anti-abortion organizations could immediately block the sale of mifepristone.

But a group of Democratic attorneys general fought back Friday with a lawsuit of their own, seeking to make access to mifepristone easier.

I think is Putin and Erdogan
