    FIFY.

    The FBI Director should not be leaking anything to do with an ongoing investigation.

    Looks like he might be a patsy, and was paid $25k to turn himself in, then they **** up the case it is dropped...and the real assassin gets away.

    Here is the thing
    OK. Lets look at that time frame

    Montegomery Boycott
    VIOLENCE erupted when black people said. . .ok . .. .we just won't use your services
    So while people against CRA can leisurely say well . .. force people to serve others is wrong
    MEANWHILE - they were literally trying to FORCE BLACK PEOPLE USE THOSE SERVICES REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY WERE TREATED
    IS that not wrong? . . .even Wronger?

    thats exactly what it is. this is the right-wingers reichstag fire.

    this is the moment they have been waiting for to implement what they have been wanting to do all along. its their excuse for a call to violence and to shut down all dissenting voices. look at the two kirk threads. they are not expressing sympathy for kirk or calling for unity. they are salivating for war on liberals.

    Local Sherriffs etc
    The Selective enforcement of the law
    PARTICULARLY on a local level was why we needed the CRA

    IT gave business owners an OUT to serve black people
    They just wanted money . . but did a cost benefit analysis that says better to prevent blacks from their business
    because it would make them lose white business
    the CRA gave the a shield to say . . ."I would kick them c**ns out but it's against the law .. . . now give me money"

    They are trying to gaslight us on Kirk and make him a martyr, when their own rhetoric caused him to be shot.

    Just stay on target and release the Epstein files.....don't fall for the bullshit from the right.

    It shouldn't be surprising. He got the job because of his unquestioned loyalty to Trump over anything else. He is a dangerous person because he is ambitious, has fluid ethics and is not terribly qualified.

    Regulate, but coerce is perfectly fine.

    The CRA does not coerce private individuals. It coerces private businesses that serve the public, or employers with 15+ employees. Individuals can discriminate non-violently all they want.. just their businesses can't. That is how it was constitutional.

    I, too, wish the CRA weren’t necessary, because a "bad" gov could absolutely abuse it. But the reality is that without it, large segments of minorities would have remained permanently held back (even today).

    The 1964 Civil Rights Act is probably the most important piece of legislation in over 100 years. It was necessary because the white male power establishment refused to treat anyone other than white males as equals. Rather than making that realization and being ashamed, people are doubling down on how it wasn't necessary. Without that Act, the level of discrimination and poverty in 2025 for non-white's would be far worse.

    That describes most of the people Trump has working for him. There are a few smart ones, but they are using their smarts for evil purposes.

    I don't believe anything yet - but something isn't adding up......it might be as simple as they say, but it might not.

    Certainly doesn't help with Patel out there lying about everything and Trump fanning the flames of hate by blaming the left when the guy was a Groyper.

    Facts used to matter......

    LOL - just passing along some of the zany stuff, up to everyone to do their own research.
