    To be fair conservatives have no issue praising Black politicians and media figures if they simply agree with the conservative narrative that this:

    Is a result of "black culture" or violent crime is a result of "black culture" rather than the effects of massive wealth inequality as shown in the graphic.

    Yes .. . I'd rather be neglected than Abused
    and honestly . . . it was more a reference to the black community than in general
    Most of use would rather just leave us alone
    But you are correct. . .Helicopter Parent is another analogy that works . . .in general

    Personally I don’t think Biden would be a great guy to have a beer with. He would go into a long rambling story about the mean streets of Delaware and how he made peace with Cornpop over a beer.

    The government's job is to tell us what we need. We like to complain but the government's job aside from some bad apples is to ensure we function smoothly together.

    Political science 101 and we don't have expertise to know when we need things like vaccines for example.

    There are multiple investigations. The case where he plead the 5th is different from 1/6, Stealing documents, Georgia, etc.

    Republicans are going to die with the less government is good mantra and take us all down with them.

    I started a thread a few years ago that Trump is like Reagan and everyone got upset. Reagan was a nice guy but Republicans love Reagan's quote, government is the problem.

    Edit: Reagan wasn't a criminal

    The Republicans are married to these ideas of less government from the founding of the country not accepting that the world is a lot more complex and we need laws and regulations to keep us from self destructing

    :D Dude, I would love love love to hear more about Cornpop. I'd be in tears. Maybe you take yourself too seriously?

    I'm certain Biden would be kind towards you.
    I'm certain Trump would treat you like trash and you are wasting his time.

    If you can't keep company with someone over one beer, that says more about you than him.

    I'll gladly own my bias why I don't want to have a beer with Trump.
