"In 2013,44 percent of cop killers were white, 37 percent were black and 11 percent were Hispanic."

"According to the FBI, African Americans accounted for 52.4% of all homicide offenders in 2018, with Whites 43.1% and "Other"/ Unknown 4. 4%. Of these, 15.4% were Hispanic or Latino. The per-capita offending rate for African Americans was roughly six times higher than Whites".
Can you connect the dots now or do I have to do it for you? You're so incredibly stupid and ignorant.

Posts: 657Reality. Biden Has Just Killed Off 52000 jobs in the 1st 8 hours. . .
After his bizarre inaugural behind fences and 20,000 military troops, Biden hobbled to the Oval Officer were he signed several executive orders including the end of construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and the end of construction of the Trump border wall.
"Mark McManus, General President of the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters: "In revoking this permit, the Biden Administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1. Let me be very clear: When built with union labor by the men and women of the United Association, pipelines like Keystone XL remain the safest and most efficient modes of energy transportation in the world. Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work. For the average American family, it means energy costs will go up and communities will no longer see the local investments that come with pipeline construction".
Canceling the Keystone Pipeline costs over 11,000 construction jobs and 42,100 jobs throughout the US during the construction process according to the US State Department. Canceling the Trump border wall will cost 10,000 jobs.
With the stroke of a pen, Biden has put 11,000 jobs and over $1.6 billion in wages on the chopping block. The kicker, the pipeline's developer has pledged that the project would have zero carbon emissions.
Indeed, union leaders are already calling out Biden for the loss of good-paying union jobs.
If that doesn't bother you, gas prices going up to fill your tank due to the cancellation of cheap Canadian oil to refineries should get your attention. It now must be shipped by rail with Warren Buffett getting paid off for his Biden campaign contribution $ out of your wallet.

Get out of jail cards for the low level republican and other rioters would have pushed Moscow Mitch really over the edge, enough to trigger an immediate impeachment trial on the single, promoting insurrection charge. Mitch knows how to count to 17 and how to twist arms out of sockets. Now magnanimously suggested a trial delay until next month, giving Fat Nixon time to scarf up enough to pay lawyers upfront, although Satan has offered Alan Dershowitz 71 virgins. Will the Supremes chime in on this toxic mess? Stay tuned. Fox News May grant Judge Judy a sabbatical to join the team. The court jesters Carlson & Hannity remain on duty to rouse the troops to defend the Alamo.

Posts: 1104Republican members giving "reconnaissance" tours
Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, revealed Tuesday that several Republican members gave “reconnaissance” tours to would-be rioters on the eve of the insurrection..
Several members of congress (both Dems. And Repl.), feared for their lives and thought they'd be turned over to the white supremacist riot / mob insurrectionists, by their fellow congress QAnon and Republicans members sympathizers.

According to Mapping Police Violence, officers have killed 1,066 people in 2020 more than 28 percent of them Black, despite Black people making up only 12 percent of the USA Population.
So on a per-capita basis, blacks are more than twice as likely to be killed by cops.
Then have it excused by ShooBree due to his Stupid Swede prejudice.

And to changing employment landscapes, people need to adapt, learn new skills. But then we are back to personal responsibility, which is much harder than shaking one's finger at Facebook and Amazon. There BTW has been a lengthy discussion about this in the "Rants" thread under the FKK section in the Europe section.
P.S. This may sound harsh, but here goes. The fact that so many Americans today are believing ridiculous lies doesn't speak well to the intelligence of many of our citizens. Do you want them creating technology and deciding how the business is run? Or rather a couple of greedy college kids in a Harvard dorm room. You can give free college to the former, but you'll have to dumb down the work and they may drop out anyway. These though should have some kind of living and some entertainment, if they are able and willing to work, and there are plenty of opportunities in the USA.
Some have wanted to make excuses for the Capital rioters, but all we know of had a job or a business, or was leeching off a wife who did. So Socialism is a tough sell in the states, thus the Crazy Bernies and AOCs haven't seen success at the national level.

That said, one and all, I'm outtahere for one month, on vacation, and I don't do politics when focused solely on having fun. The rest of you sensible folks hold down the fort, unravel the lies and fake spins as you wish, but most of all relish in the fact that we won the election, and "by a lot. " Wink.
P.S. Regarding this post that I'm replying to and others, what we need more than anything is an informed citizenry. When we have so many people running around believing and spreading lies, and lacking the ability to make valid deductions and comparisons, we have real problems. We could start with improving public education in the US. So when a liar like Lin Wood, Hannity, Alex Jones, etc. Opens their mouth one is skeptical and investigates. For example, the other day Alex made a statement about CDC numbers that the sheeple will accept without question. But one quick look at the source and the claim was instantly refuted. That is one of a slew of examples.
