I'll admit, I don't know a whole lot about Kamala Harris. But man oh man, what a breath of fresh air after being exposed to old farts Biden and Trump the last few years. I predict that come the end of November, Donald will be down the hall from Joe at the senior's home... figuratively speaking of course.

You really put the DUMB in DUMBocrat. Are you doubling down on dumb ? A black man's "want to" will pay no dividends ?

Your logic is what is always in question. In what twilight zone did you think I do not think smoking contributes to heart or lung disease ?

People born into wealthy families have opportunities that other people can not even dream about. And it is not just getting family assistance financially. The saying "Who you know is more important than what you know" is absolutely true. Connections can make or break a career.
There he goes again men. Mr. Equity. No self made opportunities exist. One never knows anybody important when their work boots are gathering dust in the closet.
I always needed help. My family was not wealthy and my Dad was abusive.. Nor were any participants of the vocation I chose. Many had that leg up I did not. I have failed a lot. Success is one failure at a time. I impressed many a drick head who were my supervisors. Because I got better and my refusal to give up made me better, and a better choice for advancement.

The claim that the only reason some people fail is because they are lazy is not true.
You are right, the world never promised a rose garden.

Originally posted by NewDustin: Equity in outcome is not a necessary part of any particular DEI policy. It's a popular way some groups have tried to address the problem but that's an entirely separate argument and including it as a premise for DEI policies at large would be self-referential and fallacious.
So you say. That is fallacious.
What does CNN (Counterfeit News Network) have to say about DEI policies ? They interviewed seven DEI experts and industry leaders and asked each to define diversity, equity and inclusion. Although their responses varied slightly, most had a shared vision for what constitutes DEI:
1) Diversity is embracing the differences everyone brings to the table whether it’s someone’s race, age, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability or other aspects of social identity.
There it is, social identity ! someone’s race, age, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability or other aspects of social identity. Not what's best for the company or the Nation.
2) Equity is treating everyone fairly and providing equal opportunities.
There it is, warm and fuzzy. I have a solution. Everybody who applies for a job be given an interview. We know why that is not given.
My best job interview was the one I made happen. I applied at the same job, every week. With out getting hired. Damn the good opportunity. It was realized I wanted the job. I got it.
3) Inclusion is respecting everyone’s voice and creating a culture where people from all backgrounds feel encouraged to express their ideas and perspectives.
There it is again men. Social identity. The inclusion argument suggests that a culture where people from all backgrounds are not encouraged to express their ideas and perspectives. I can honestly say I have learned from new "green" employees. I never waited for encouragement. I never feared disagreement of my ideas or perspectives. That I expressed ideas probably created opportunity.
[/quote]Daniel Oppong, founder of The Courage Collective, a consultancy that advises companies on DEI, said DEI was created because marginalized communities have not always had equal opportunities for jobs, or felt a sense of belonging in majority-White corporate settings. [/quote]
There it is yet again. Affirmative action. A rose by any other name ...
. The Dempartie surrenders in November, blm, antifa, all the marxist front organizations capitulate to avoid impending violent obliteration. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners, marched and railed to the far Arizona Border limestone quarries, to begin their seven years of hard labor, building the wall. lol ' Kamala : I did that ! ' ' Lied too often during the debate, no-one bought it ! ' ' I got busted during the October Riot in Milwaukee, out by '32 ' ' Yeah, me too, the Atlanta Revolt in December, the Anti-Trump March ! Out by '33 ' ' Hernando, when do you get out ? ' ' No Habla ! Never ! '
You're right Patrick! They've really let it get that bad is small-town USA. The incumbent administration should be ashamed of the mess that they have created.
I'm happy you're finally waking up to the problems of liberalism!

That is total bullshit. There are poor people working multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
If they're working and motivated to work, then they being are successful. They may not have yet met their goals, but they are doing what it takes to achieve them.

No one has a goal to work two jobs just to make ends meet.
You guys have no connection to reality. You don't understand the real life struggles a major portion of our society goes through just to live paycheck to paycheck.
And that is why Republicans have been losing so much power across the country over the last 6 years. You let a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth brainwash you into labeling all poor people as lazy trash.
Leaders in the US state of Ohio are trying to douse baseless rumours that Haitian immigrants in a town there have been eating residents' pets as food.
The allegations have percolated up through right-wing media and were amplified by Donald Trump at his presidential debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday.

That comment is pure gold.
I know that most of us that laugh at you on this Forum worked at least two jobs to make ends meet, one or more times in their lives. Some of us had two jobs and a side business.
You really don't have a clue about your fellow Forum members.
Allexis Ferrell, 27, was found with 'fur on her lips and blood on her hands' when police were called by shocked neighbors in the town of Canton on August 16.
'Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat's head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,' police wrote in their report.
If you can't figure it out, no amount of explanation is going to help.
Did you even bother to read the article you linked to?

Police in Ohio have released grisly footage of a crazed woman who allegedly stomped on a cat's head before feasting on the feline in full view of horrified witnesses.
Allexis Ferrell, 27, was found with 'fur on her lips and blood on her hands' when police were called by shocked neighbors in the town of Canton on August 16.
Authorities have now revealed bodycam video of the suspect after Donald Trump's extraordinary claim that Haitian migrants are killing and eating their neighbors' pets.
'Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat's head with her foot and then began to eat the cat,' police wrote in their report.
The GOP candidate platformed rumors that Haitian newcomers in the town of Springfield have been feasting on its domestic animals. The claim electrified the presidential debate on Tuesday.
However, Ferrell - the only person known to have eaten a cat in the state recently - was identified as an American born woman in Canton, a town 170 miles away.

So, you want to maybe try again to explain the point you were attempting to make?

Are you really that dense? Someone did eat a cat in Ohio and she could have easily been mistaken for a Haitian. Only the authorities knew who she was and they did not release that information until after the debate.

Sir, you are so deep in denial, you don't know which way is up. It is truly frightening to comprehend that there are legions of Trump supporters just as brainwashed as you throughout the US.
It's become painfully obvious that followers such as yourself will believe anything that Donald Trump wants you to believe. You're completely under his spell. Ray is 100% correct... it's a freakin' cult.

Can we agree that the debate you're referring was Sept 10th, two days ago? (Before anyone "corrects" me, it was still two days ago here on the west coast when this post was written.)
Okay now, open your eyes! Quit being led and lied to by a psychopath! Check the date and location in this one of many news reports on this cat-eating nutcase of a woman.
***Warning: Details in this story are disturbing.***
CANTON, Ohio (WJW) – A Canton woman faces several charges after investigators say she allegedly killed and ate a cat.
Allexis Ferrell, 27, was arrested on Friday. Jail records show she’s charged with prohibitions concerning companion animals, injuring animals and disorderly conduct.
According to a criminal complaint, Ferrell is accused of killing the animal “by stomping its head then eating the cat” at a housing complex within the 1100 block of 13th Street SE in Canton.
Ferrell was booked into the Stark County jail.

At worst Trump made an honest mistake about cats being eaten.
I noticed you said nothing about the video I posted earlier of residents complaining to city hall about ducks being eaten. Are they lying for Trump? Is Trump so diabolical that he set it all up months ago?

Maybe. If Trump loses, then it will be another 4-8 years with a Democrat in the White House. I have lived through several of them. It is not the end of the world.
But if Trump wins, you are going to give yourself a stroke during his last 4 years.
Donald can spew forth a hundred False Claims & Hoaxes before his morning coffee!
Is there anything that Trump spews forth that you don't question?!!!
