Its hard to argue that the Obama Admin was very cautous, some argue too much so, with issues around the election and Russians attack on our republic. Its blatantly obvious that it wasnt used for political benefit... Hell Obama let McConnell veto alerting the American People to it, he out of respect for our system did not throw his weight around as POTUS, he accepted a decision he didnt agree with out of beleif in our system...
To try to twist this likely well justified investigation into anything else besides the FBI doing its job defending us from HOSTILE foreign government infiltration is a fools fucking errand. For Christs sake they would have been derelict not to act!
What should shock people is the fact our democracy was attacked, by a hostile foreign nation and at best our President and most of his party is minimally complacent to it!!!! Thats what should freak people out!

I propose everyone calculate the monetary value of their privilege and begin paying out. So simple, and then everyone would be on a level playing field.Just wanted members to know reperations DO exist.

so if it happens to a minority person its persecution, if it happens to a white male, tough shit, deal with it?........
you don't want equality, you want retribution, for something that never even happened to you...because that's the only thing that will satisfy your sense of self loathing.....

Well I bussed tables for minimum wage in high school and I'm excluding that money from my reparations calculation because I was not paid a living wage. But I will apply a reparations tax to ALL other income. Anyone know the appropriate rate? Please specify if it is a pre-tax rate or not, as well as appropriate deductions or offsets.

It always comes down to money for you doesn't it?I propose everyone calculate the monetary value of their privilege and begin paying out. So simple, and then everyone would be on a level playing field.

No, it wouldn't be an even playing field.

I figured money would be the best way to pay so that the recipient can then go out and get what they want/need. You want me to pay in cheese or something? Not everyone likes cheese.

Parents never gave you anything?
You were made to pay for your public education?
Are you expected to just take it when somebody feels you up at work?
Were you only able to get a home loan in a certain neighborhood even though you wanted and could afford a house in a better neighborhood?
Do you pay a higher interest rate than others even though you meet the same qualifications as they do?
Do you get racist graffiti sprayed on your house?
Do you worry about the cops shooting your son when he goes out with the family car?
I'll challenge you that you don't really know why you didn't get that job. I'll also ask if you know that advantageous employment rates, job opportunities and pay inequity between white men and just about all other groups persists through recessions and good times. About 20% difference and we've only been tracking for 50 years.
It's too bad for you that you didn't do better with your white man privilege. If you thought you had it hard, you should look harder at what people who aren't white and male go through.
Before you go off about how you aren't racist, I'll just leave this with you:
