In Browns case the police chief resigned, the officer involved resigned with no severance and will never be a police officer again and the city paid out 1.5 million in damages.

So why were two of the cops responsible for Floyd’s death sent to prison?

If you are looking for an example of a country that tried to isolate its economy from the rest of the world, you need to look no farther than the Soviet Union.

Is he going to force all the states that have sales taxes to get rid of them? His tariffs are imposing a sales tax on all Americans who need or use imported products.

I think it would be unrealistic to think there are no racists in the Democratic party but this is just a deflection from how the South ditched the Democrats for the Republicans.

Yes and right after the bill was passed Strom Thurman and all the other racist Dixiecrats switched to the Republican Party and it started on the journey to where it is today.

Hard to have any sympathy. Chalk it up to karma.

Yes, when the GOP was the anti segregation party, Lincoln’s party. Did you even bother to read the thing or look up the history of how the parties switched places in the south. Of course not.

The former southern Democrats went Republican when the Democrats passed the civil rights act in 1964 https://www.history.com/articles/how-the-party-of-lincoln-won-over-the-once-democratic-south

If as Trump says, tariffs will raise 6 trillion, that will be the biggest tax increase since 1982, or 1968 depending on the source. https://www.forbes.com/sites/katharinabuchholz/2025/04/04/trumps-tariffs-biggest-tax-hike-since-1982/ And yet Republicans will still increase the debt by over 9 trillion over the next ten years. The myth of Republican fiscal responsibility.

Sure you do, yet you support Trump trashing the economy for no reason other than his own ego. 5 trillion comes from extending the cuts, the rest comes from additional cuts if you bother to read the link. If it is going to increase the debt by 5 trillion, maybe they shouldn't be extended if you actually do care.

I think there are a lot of Americans who voted for Trump that would take Sleepy Joe back in a heartbeat if they could. Why do you keep deflecting with Biden? Trump is trashing an economy that was doing well. The tax cuts you MAGA hats want will increase the debt by up to 9 trillion. Republican fiscal responsibility is one of the world's greatest lies. https://thehill.com/homenews/5226077-republican-tax-cut-proposals-debt/

You can't blame this clown show on Biden, you MAGA hats will have to own it whether you like it or not.

You go right ahead. The m*rons are in charge now, the world will pay for their stupidity and the US has trashed its global reputation for no reason other than one man's ego.

When has any other president personally attacked a judge and called for their dismissal when a ruling hasn’t gone their way? Anyone who thinks this is normal or acceptable in a country that claims to believe in democracy and rule of law is a complete id*ot

About 30% of my portfolio is equities. My stock picks are conservative and most pay dividends. I'm down $110k since December. I can afford to stand by and watch without having to sell to pay the rent or put food on the table but many can't. They say the death of democracy is directly proportional to the death of empathy. That's what you said before they sank another 10%.

Yes, I had one when I worked in the US but have since drawn it down. It's the same as our RRSP. And if you are a retiree depending on it for your income you are watching it shrink before your eyes seeing your capital gains disappear or even showing losses. How many of these companies will still be paying dividends when the recession hits and the necessity to lower interest rates also kills your fixed income returns.
