The murder of Charlie Kirk

Can we all admit that the majority of extremism is coming from the left over the last handful of years?

Apparently they j

I said "people like Kirk" because he's no longer with us to change his mind. I meant people who, like him, feel nervous when they fly with a black pilot. Sounds like you got the gist. I don't think you are lying, but I doubt Kirk would feel better. He said “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.” During a discussion about Supreme

And like so much racism it's heavily based on ignorance. Nobody that went to Harvard would belittle honors grads because they know how hard it is. 10x harder than doing well enough in high school and the SAT to get into Harvard. But Charlie doesn't know what Charlie doesn't know. And like conservative posters here, he didn't have the intelligence to ask questions and try to learn. Despite the performative fake "Convince Me I'm Wrong" persona he never had any interest in trying to learn.

The overall problem with your argument is that it relies completely on credentialism. If she is such a great judge and inspiration, where is the written and verbal arguments demonstrating this? The one written argument provided in this thread demonstrated a pretty large logic/math error.

Like I said, she seems to mainly just be interested in pushing left wing activism, being mostly indifferent to the Constitution. Which is what she was selected to do. Which is fine. But I am not sure why anyone should have great respect for this, or demonstrates superior intellectual capabilities.

I don't think many here were boomers. My parents were.

But the people representing the Democratic Party in the senate are boomers, and they're apparently more interest in keeping themselves rich than in taking a risk to save democracy.

I know Dem politicians are still saying it, but what % of left leaners actually still believe our democracy is at risk?

I guess what I am asking is if it is okay to treat people that think "democracy is at risk" similar to people who still think the earth is flat.

Do you think if there were no more DEI / AA hires in the airline industry, people like Kirk would no longer be nervous when they had a black female airline pilot?

There aren't "DEI/AA" pilots and yet racist dipshits like Kirk are still out there, so the answer is clearly "No."

I mean, that's what most people do, it's not like a lot of people actually care about democracy. You're in good company.

Racism isn’t an opinion. And saying someone has to be in the KKK to be racist is so dumb that it basically disqualifies any take you will ever have on civics

most of them do but they define democracy as "a system of government where all core leftist values are always part of policy" so they are actually right?

Basically for them it's not about the constitution at all and it never was, it's only democracy if they win and govern and if when the fake opposition wins it can't change anything of substance.

I mean they are calling strong efforts to deport every single alien, like the the law allows (and mandates) as "undemocratic"

A fellow SCOTUS judge mocked one of Jackson "rationales" very recently *in the opinion* which is something that basically never happens. And it was about a dissent by Jackson so it wasn't about being bitter at a result ACB didn't like.

We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which
is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent,
not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this:
JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.

Anyone want to take up refuting her argument?

That’s not even the discussion. We’re talking about getting into law school. Her graduating near the top of her class with anonymously grades assignments removed any doubt for anyone but the hardcore rurals. This would be like saying whoever was the top high school basketball recruit 10 years ago didn’t deserve that ranking because he never even started a game in the NBA. It just shows a complete ignorance of different levels within a field. I think it’s sort of the key issue when you have a lot of low intelligence low education whites complaining.

the pilot thing is so bizarre. like no, it never crossed my mind that a black pilot would be unqualified and I should prefer a white one. thats not normal thinking.

They didn't say the roommate was cleared, but was apparently questioned and was being cooperative. Don't know why they would lie about that. They should be much more likely to lie the other way and try to pin it on the trans person.

They are doing the good guy bad guy cop thing. They want the room mate to think he/she is in the clear so he/she lets their guard down. Maybe he/she will leak information talking to Roberts on the jail phone. If they were truly as close as it sounds like they were the room mate had prior knowledge this was gonna happen. The text exchange is a classic make it appear the room mate wasn't involved. Given their apparent relationship the room mate also would have known the father is MAGA.

Nah she’s right she’s a dumbass who doesn’t deserve her degree. I guess is the argument?

For the record. The reasons they have been fired had absolutely nothing to do with ratings or the amount of money their shows were making. Don't even try to suggest that. They were fired because our fascist dictator wannabe sent his sycophants to threaten the ceos of the broadcasting companies because that same fascist dictator wannabe wants to crush any sort of speech that

Kimmel and Colbert were annoying and whiney liberals. This nation has shifted away from that. They wore their welcome out. this was a business decision knowing their target demographic no longer supported the snowflake culture.

You should probably read the post again. It was pretty clear I thought.


The right wing loves to find one instance of something happening and pretending that’s evidence something is pervasive. That woman is more likely to be on a payroll than to be real. It’s a random dumbass admitting to being a dumbass and throwing herself under the bus for a grift. Convenient.

Never occurred to me either.

Sometimes things are clear to some people that aren’t clear to others.

Like I said earlier, personal anecdotes are the least convincing form of argumentation, despite how powerful they might be used for political propaganda.

I'm more concerned that many pilots appear to be teenagers. But I then remind myself that I am old and they are probably in their 30s,

Pretty much the same for me I loved the days when we had old air force pilots πŸ˜€

It’s a very specific and odd prejudice, right?

He never said he would prefer a white pilot. His comment was based on DEI policies were they need to hire a certain % of a minority to meet quotas. In doing so you may create the environment of people thinking is that pilot the best of the best and not a DEI hire. If you have no DEI policies than you hire the best which may mean if you have a 100 pilots 90 may be black but they were the best candidates . HE also said he realizes they are not going to hire a pilot that meets the minimum requirements

That’s not how DEI works in aviation or how proficiency is demonstrated to commercial airlines. It’s all just prejudiced nonsense.

Again, this does not actually happen in real life.

It is absolutely at risk. You just love daddy so much you have no clue what is really happening.
