We aren’t free. We are just house slaves (third world is field slaves).
Freedom is a matter of perception or definition. Every person has to decide that answer for themselves.

I did a little research on Cuomo. Why was NY so unprepared for the spread of the coronavirus?
-
It is one of the largest cities in the world
-
Cuomo is Huge on open borders. Come one come all. No need to Look into ones past. Where they come from and so on.
-
He’s screaming for financial reparations for NY as it has been hit the hardest.
-
Now he wants to put coronavirus victims in retired or old folks homes.
-
At one point NY officials were rejecting ventilators from the federal government.
I don’t know? Thinking some of this is self inflicted. Crazy as it seems the hardest hit states and cities in America are the ones that believe in open borders, and are sanctuary cities.

It appears the New York Times the beacon of freedom. Wants all your personal info to read their can’t dispute truths. Sorry about that @BShark. Now I know what you were saying.
-
Oh Nice job on PBS scoring more money on their current budget on a stimulus package for Americans and Businesses suffering from Coronavirus. Nothing like sticking it to the tax payers.

@FarmerJayhawk I think it’s more the valuing of money and corporations over people than government. Now government has certainly had a something to do with shifting those values. And yes, conservatives and neoliberals are both to blame. But public schools, welfare, and civil rights aren’t the problem.
Public schools aren’t to blame? A institution that really by all respects teaches socialism. Welfare? Another institution that doesn’t push people to be self-reliant yet demands them to be dependent upon the government. Civil rights? What does that mean anymore? We just had a supreme court justice nominee that had to deal with a woman that couldn’t remember where the so-called attempted rape took place what time the rate to place, yeah because she is a woman and she was a part of the me to movement it didn’t matter. Civil rights today are guilty until proven innocent not what our founding fathers wanted.

I know you guys hate Fox News, but trust me Juan Williams is more liberal an more a trump hater than all you combined. Wow.

@DoubleDD A. No they don’t. B. You ever tried to file for government assistance? C. She had to deal with a lot more than him for even coming forward. Three out of every four sexual assaults go u reported. Wonder why that is if as you say the guy is guilty till proven innocent? Bret wasn’t proven innocent nor was the president, yet they hold two of the highest offices in the country

New York is way ahead in numbers because of population, population density, and testing per capita. They also might be ahead of the curve for the rest of the country because they have more international travel than just about any place in the world. Undocumented people have absolutely nothing to do with the spread of the pandemic in New York.
“Self inflicted,” please. By that logic the whole country is self inflicted if you were to list out trumps inactions. But should the federal government do as Trump said and just “not call” those governors who “aren’t nice” to him?

We are kind of off the rails here, maybe @approxinfinity wants to split this line of discussion but man, what a horrible view of sexual assault from DD. So many girls and women commit suicide after being raped BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY WON’T BE BELIEVED AND CAN’T LIVE WITH THE INTERNAL SHAME.
-
@BShark Seems like certain people tend to take it off the rails on the regular by bringing up random inflammatory takes because they don’t have a real response or independently thought out opinion. For someone who wants to “be free” @DoubleDD could use a little freeing of the mind from alt right talking points.
-
To go on some more after taking a breather…
Look at how long Cosby was able to molest and rape women unchecked. Now do we need to actually default to automatically throwing accused men in prison? No. That also isn’t happening. What we do need to do is better foster a society where women aren’t afraid to report sexual crimes. Unless you know and have talked to women that have been raped and/or domestically abused you don’t know how it is. Some men get a woman living in fear, thinking they can never break away. Men are not immune to this either. I’ve seen time and time again men falling into the same type of destructive/toxic relationship (usually emotional or financial abuse) so it can go both ways.
-
Wow didn’t know we are taking this to a personal level? I guess it’s par for the course. Sure I think woman should be able to come forth, and demand justice. Just don’t think we should swing the pendulum so far that another person is presumed guilty until proven innocent. The Cavanaugh trials was a big sham of justice there ever was.
If you took the same parameters and evidence and witnesses that were in the Cavanaugh hearings and apply them to an average person in the streets? That case never sees the light of day in a courthouse.
That is politics trying to subvert the constitution and the rights of the people.

Wow ouch. I don’t know how, but somehow I will pick up the shards of my shattered ego, and carry on. Even though knowing what you really think of me.

I’m sorry was I not given permission to respond? I do believe it was you and @BShark that have taken this off the rails.

Yep. Bringing up sexual assault out of nowhere brought it to the personal level for me. CAVANAUGH IS A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! If that’s the sham of justice you are talking about than I agree.

I do believe you are taking one context of many that were together in a complete sentence. You derailed the topic.
But to your opinion justice prevailed. Brett Kavanaugh was voted in to the Supreme Court.
-
You do know that Brett Kavanaugh is a champion for women’s rights especially in the workplace. He has been one of the leaders for decades and helping women become lawyers and judges. These are facts not opinions

Good info about the statewide order that Gov. Kelly issued today. https://www.kansastogether.com/counties

@FarmerJayhawk she’s so impressive! She literally caught hell for closing schools. I think I sent that to @BShark

Van Meteren is a douche. We’ve been on the same side of some campaigns but he’s kind of a kook.
Glad the Speaker is supportive of the order. The LCC just had to fulfill its legal obligation to convene to review the governor’s order. Not so surprised Smith and Carpenter left that out.
-
@FarmerJayhawk mizzou is a great comparison! Their gov. Wouldn’t do anything til to late, now a disaster state. Nobody here can really argue w/Kelly! In fact a lot of mizzou people are praising her.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I believe you. It’s simply wonderful how many people, in small ways or large, stepping up. Many of them are out of work. Restores my faith in mankind.

When we were hit by Hurricane Harvey about 2.5 years ago, he opened his stores and warehouses to people who were displaced so they would have somewhere to sleep.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I remember that.

@benshawks08 oh man! That was awesome,
maybe we need a post for good news. If he has any more keep us updated, please.

Some conservatives are not entirely blind. Either that, or they are throwing Trump under the bus as he has done with so many others.

Sadly guys heard on a radio station in Iowa that is with ABC.
