Op went overboard with the death sentance, but the penalty for fucking with evidence that fucks up someone else’s life should be severe. 10 year prison minimum, plus restitution paid to victim for the rest of their lives.
I’m not sure you could point to any other single person who has had a more damaging impact to the country than this piece of crap. In any case, it will probably get worse.
Yup. One of my favorite scumbags to tell people about.
Marijuana was Anslinger’s golden ticket. He used his office to trumpet the association between weed and violence, so that it could be criminalized. “You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother,” he was known to have said. McWilliams explains that in this effort, “Anslinger appealed to many organizations whose members were predominantly white Protestant.”
From the beginning, Anslinger conflated drug use, race, and music. “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men,” he was quoted as saying. “There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper’s writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news."
"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
Well we started off talking about gun violence but you don’t think talking about guns while discussing gun violence is fair to the guns.
Then you switched to Biden and the DNC taking your guns even though that hasn’t happened and Trump was the last president to come after gun rights. But you don’t want to talk about that either.
I’m surprised you haven’t made up something outlandish like Biden wanting to cut off your penis and turn you into a cat girl or something because why have a real conversation when you can just get outraged about the culture war of the day.
Asylum seekers are not migrants. Migrants can be turned away with no moral fault. Asylum seekers, on the other hand, seek asylum from danger. Turning them away means leaving them exposed to that danger. If we do so, while we’re doing more than fine financially, then that is a violation of basic morals and human decency.
Alright? Increase taxes on those who have more money than they could ever spend and then help those who need a tiny fraction of that to fucking survive. I really don’t see why you think there’s no solutions here.
Are all of your countries other problems solved? Increasing taxes on the rich somehow always turns into increasing taxes for everyone else. If you can pull it off, more power to you
They do this already in addition to US Federal income tax. Florida, as one example, has no state income tax, but has tangible personal property tax, real property tax, and sales tax.
4 the past 5 years in my home. Two moms and two babies on two separate occasions. This of course doesn’t include my donations and volunteering at centers.
I am not sure you are aware of this but a private home is not a country.
It must be nice to be able to financially afford a home, let alone one large enough to house others. Not to mention donations and free time to volunteer. Always nice to see people well off that are still grounded.
While I agree with you, we also must recognize that there are limits to what can be done to help asylum seekers without breaking things and no longer being able to help anyone.
Big doubts she’s homeless. She’s probably living in an apartment leased by a friend with some of the laundered money. Texas isn’t going to have continual updates in Colorado.
Note to anyone melanin-deficient: Don’t put wax or oil or shit in dreads it prevents felting (just as natural hair grease does). Doesn’t really matter if you have thick curly hair thus black folks do it because it’s a quick way to deal with frizz, if you have any other hair structure though you’ll end up with candles instead of dreads.
The method for whiteys also works for black folks, and that’s residue-free, silicone-free soap (ordinary shampoos contain silicones to replace grease and thus prevent felting), then mechanical treatment: Palm rolling, root tightening, as well as crocheting (with a crocheting needle if you have someone to do it for you, otherwise a large needle with a string loop). Never use a hair-dryer instead learn to headbang, make sure to actually let your dreads dry to the core (can take a whole day from not dripping to dry, depending on temperature/humidity). Once in a while a sour rinse (apple cider vinegar or citric acid) to flush out mineral residue, ending every wash with a cold rinse also helps, that has to do with how the little scales on hair react to temperature, cold closes them.
As to specific products: I use Frosch dish washing detergent because I trust them to not put nasty shit in it, if you don’t have access to it use specialised dread shampoo (or if you don’t fancy smelling like janitorial lemon). Hard soaps can work but they’re not always stellar when it comes to being residue-free, some are right-out atrocious. Dudu Osun generally isn’t, and generally worth the price. As to acid: Actually straight citric acid dissolved in water. The same stuff I use to clean, or put in food if in a pinch (it’s food-grade). String for the needle: The absolute best you can get or you’ll be tearing it all the time.
The term dreads or dreadlocks is considered pretty racist depending on who you ask. But I’m not black so honestly wouldn’t take my word on the topic as gospel at all.
