Doubt it will get anywhere in this session, but I genuinely hope they re-introduce this Amendment in the next session with Biden as president. Slavery in all forms should be Constitutionally illegal, and we need to finish what was started at the end of the Civil War.
This is precisely what republicans voted for. I am not saying that individual voters KNOW that this is what they voted for. But this is precisely what NO SOCIALISM means in practice. And (assuming that republicans hold the Senate) it is precisely what Biden will be up against at least until 2022.Originally Posted by Zan15
This is about as purely anti-socialist as you can possibly get.

There has been no justice in the US that hasn't come from the federal government putting heavy pressure on local governments to get their shit together. Systemic changes starts at the head.
The argument, "well we wait for change to happen at the local level) is how minorities were heavily ostracized throughout the country for more than 100 years after the Civil War despite there being federal laws against the injustices that were going on. Injustices such as not being allowed access to polls or proper education. You think the party that minorities latched onto after some of those wrongs made right would preach the history. That sometimes, most times, justice won't be served unless it comes from the top. A black, brown, whatever US citizens shouldn't have to be weary of law enforcement in certain parts of the country, it's the duty federal oversight to ensure all local authorities adhere to particular standards. If not you get cesspools of bad cops like Minnesota, South Bend, LA, NYC where they ignore federal standards for their own brands of 'justice'.
People love to trade justice for peace when it's not their justice that's on the line.

I don't get why people just won't admit that Biden isn't going to get much done in certain areas. He already won so there's no longer a reason to lie or oversell him. He himself does even sell himself as some or great reformer. So why are people taken offense to saying Biden isn't doing to much if anything in regards to police reform?
Just admit he is weak in the area. People are doing gymnastics for Biden like MAGA Hats for Trump.

Wow so Biden came out and stated he is asking all americans to wear mask for the next 100 days, and freaking Magaheads are flipping out...
President-elect Joe Biden said he will ask Americans to mask up for 100 days as soon as he takes the oath of office
'On the first day I'm inaugurated I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask - just 100 days to mask. Not forever,' Biden told CNN
He also said he's spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked him to be his chief medical adviser on the pandemic
the
fucking
horror
they are saying because of this that Biden is Mental and needs to be removed from office.
i give up.
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

Can you admit Trump was a piece of shit who was only ever looking out for himself, and never really cared about the people. Til Trumpsters(you might not be one Don't pay enough attention to your posts to know) admit that I don't see a reason people need to admit anything about Biden.
MMO-Champ the place where calling out trolls get you into more trouble than trolling.
I think we need to hold Biden’s feet to the fire, but when he does something. Doing it preemptively is just silly... like Theo ending up with 68 posts in a Biden thread, before he takes office and 11 in the entire 4 years of Trump in his thread. We won’t get what we need, if we don’t challenge people in power... Biden is simply not in power... yet...

Not taking the bait on bullshit questions like this. Make your point or don't, but I know you to be better than the above.
You are incorrect about this issue and your evaluation of Biden's behavior. You admit to not knowing enough information to make any kind of judgment on Biden's actions. Unwanted kissing is absolutely sexual assault, but Biden's actions do not constitute even a whisper of an issue, given what we know right now.

I think that's the only way to go. We can't take any thing that the GOtrumP says as valid criticism considering the last four years of actions they not only put up with, but enabled.
Remember, You can't criticize him until after the election! Wait, no maybe after January? Wait no, after the Midterms, wait no not until 2024.
Hell, as we learned thanks to some leaked Emails, Obama's entire cabinet was decided by Citibank two months before the election.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

I mean, they link to the emails. Though whether this was "Citibank exec picks his dream team!" or "Citibank exec picks a lot of pretty popular choices that were likely on dozens of shortlists already." I dunno. I haven't had time to read the full article, just the top of it, so will need to read more and follow some links.
I’m saying to wait until he does something to criticize... not @PACOX... You got something to say to me? Being thirsty and afraid is an interesting emotion... isn’t it?
Yeah, now tell me what that resulted in, in 8 years of Obama? This is strange... You attack Biden, for things he did not have a chance to do... then attack Obama, over things he didn’t do... it’s strange...Hell, as we learned thanks to some leaked Emails, Obama's entire cabinet was decided by Citibank two months before the election.
How much you want to bet, I’ve already said more negative things about Biden, than you have in 4 years of Trump? I gots receipts... lol

Sure, they link the emails, but Lil Theo continues to lie. Citibank didn't even guess completely correctly:
The reason using shady advisers and staff is bad, is because it leads to actions that are shady. The fact that Citibank or even satan xyr self were Obama advisers is completely irrelevant, when during his entire 8 years, those shady actions would be the problem. If nothing illicit happened in those 8 years, why exactly are his advisors problematic?
As an example, Tellison was a problem because Trump campaigned on ‘bomb the shit out of them and give their oil to Exxon’, then proceeded to kneel to SA to the toon of 2000 US soldiers protecting their oil. Flynn was a problematic defense advisor, not because of his history, but the fact that his payments from Turkey seemed to influence Trump’s handing over Kurds to Turkey for slaughter.
Both of those were problematic hires, because of the outcome of their hires... not because of someone problematic recommending them in the past.
Edit: Changed ‘something they did in the past’ to ‘someone problematic recommending them’... since we don’t even know who was recommended...

Oh and just to clear something up... The reason so many people have been responding to Theo, asking what their reply had to do with original post. Simple... nothing... they are responding to me...

Current Biden pick is a problem because she considered "take their oil" as acceptable solution to US financial problems.
