    How can you care about genocides on the other side of the world and show no concern for your neighbors lives? It sounds like bull shit to justify supporting Trump.
    I do care for anyone being murdered or mass murdered anywhere in the world, although naturally and logically I am primarily concerned for the lives closer to me. Right now there are hundreds of thousands of people, disproportionately People of Color, dying because of the pandemic. If you are a DC resident (and you are actually involved with the local community), you know that most fatalities are Black and Brown people.
    The pandemic would have not gotten to this point in the USA with a competent administration. If you cared at all for your neighbors, you would be supporting Biden-Harris.

    Awwwwwwe @tassojunior, so you like laughing at Kamala but you do not like when I laugh at you. 
    Let's do this. I will apologize to you if you accept that you lied to us pretending that you read Chomsky.

    Is he the worst f*cking campaigner?  No wonder he needs to cheat to win.
     
    Will we ever learn what Senator Blumenthal was warning about last week, Russia's attempt to interfere with the election?
     
    The linked article mentions how they sow discord in our media and that they deploy fake individuals on line to divide our political will.  Who knows, perhaps there are 1 or 2 or more even here on this forum.  Wouldn't that be a surprise!!

    A liberal use of that contemptuous term for a blacks posted from that account does not fool, no matter if referring to the cuisine at Cracker Barrel or quoting a previous president, the agenda is not too clever, and is not appreciated.  I wish it would stop, personally,  
     
    Besides, one can find audio of Nixon saying worse.

    Did you read their reading of a 5 days convention after one day? Pure bitterness and resentment. They are clearly playing for Trump team. It will be remembered. I always hated the inability to make editions here, but these days I AM LOVIN'IT.

    That someone in this thread would encourage most of us to not bother voting is very telling.

    was really making an objective observation. I made no comment about anyone's color.
    I live in DC. 90% of my neighbors are working class Black families. Not only I live with them, I am an active participant and member of neighborhood and community associations and organizations. The overwhelming majority of my friends and lovers are Black, from all ages, educational levels, and social extractions. For almost 20 years I have developed and kept a deep engagement with what I consider is my community. I know what people and community leaders think not because I read it in newspapers or in social media, I talk to,, love and work and interact daily and intensely with them.
    DC Black community is quite diverse, but in a city that voted 4% for Trump, it is really challenging to find Trump lovers within it. It is almost as hard to find Harris haters. There are groups of Left activists (I am usually actively supportive of the Leftists groups) who like myself are not enthusiastic about Kamala, but we all agree that now it is time to leave our differences aside and support the dems ticket against Trump. I also heard of a very small group that opposes her. They are few, and not representative of where the overall local Black community, in al its different political nuances, stands.
    Perhaps, DC Black community is not representative of the overall Black American community (I intentionally use Black to include not only African Americans but also the very influential local African immigrants community). I give you that. But in DC, opposition to Kamala seems to be irrelevant so far. I hear mostly White folks criticizing her from the Left and the Right.

    You've got nothing substantial to link for us on Harris's husband right?
    Kushner's dad served time in prison and the Trump Org can't get a bank loan in the States.  Look THAT up.
    So why not forget about who's crooked? It's pretty clear.

    Good point.
    How the production decided who and when certain candidates were tracked.
    That the SF Chronicle was upset by the politics of boys in Texas doesn't make this a bad movie.  
    I did wonder if the American Legion has considered a similar event for girls or whether keeping the event for boys only still makes sense.
    SPOILER @@@@@@@@@@@
    The dirty tricks and the false narrative used by the Federalists against the Nationalists and how the Federalists treated their own chair was a sad reflection of real world politics.
    That many of the conservatives boys still supported LGBTQ rights was encouraging.
    What gave hope was the Nationalist candidate, that the American dream carried on and also how a candidate can understand the workings of compromise while remaining true to his beliefs and genuine in how he addresses his constituents.  A lot of the boys were inspired by that.
    Needed kleenex at the end.

    She did not send thousands of people to prison for smoking marijuana. Those charges alone don't even make it to court.
    One million Black men to prison for life? Prove it. It hasn't happened.

    Hahaha ... now everybody should watch it. I tuned in yesterday and quite enjoyed it. I read the reviews afterwards; 24/25 ‘top critics‘ gave it a fresh tomato.
    I was also struck by the open manipulation of some of these wet-behind-the-ears 16-18 year olds, as well as the ‘throw the whatever’ attitude of what I would call ironic sabotage, a trend that seemed to emerge years ago with American Idol (voting for duds). What a strategist that René, though, diving into each pit of vipers with eyes open, an uncanny grasp of adolescent dynamics, and a philosophical attitude of equanimity and self-appraisal.
    I attended a private day-only all-boys high school in the sixties. My parents made me pay the tuition and/or excel academically to subsidize with a number of available bursaries. Many of the smartest guys were both nerdy and mean and nasty to vulnerables, to the type you might see bullied these days. However, it was never physical but done for a lark, cruel as it was. Yet you could be just as popular being nice to everyone. 
    Such egregiously insensitive behaviours today would land a Boys State participant on his ass, possibly criminally charged. Yet these unkind high school peers became successful highly respected professionals, not the sociopaths you might expect. The antics tend to diminish in post-secondary settings, save perhaps for the microcosm of fraternities.
    I thought much of the state of dynamics in the doc was consistent with adolescent male behaviour, without their female peers, and was also intended to send up what they observe in politics overall.
    One thing that impressed me as well is that the filmmakers would not have known how the many primary candidates would eventually funnel down to the later vote-offs and final ballots. They would essentially have had to follow a lot of the boys at the beginning, prior to editing down to the major players, eg gubernatorial, in order to weave earlier exposure into the more developed later profiles. 
    There is nobody I would have crushed on as teenager.

    Anyone so fast and furious against Harris is likely OK with 4 more years of Trump.   Call me close minded. 
    If Harris was beholden to a foreign entity, that would be a horse of a different color.  
    Biden was not my top choice but this is the direction we are going.  Biden/Harris 2020.
