swearing and sarcasm
This is a type of incivility. Way worse than calling someone dummy. Swearing is the definition of vulgarities you jackass
And your comment about George Floyd was blatant hate speech likely driven by racism
So you are guilty of hate speech and vulgarities and you have the balls to bitch like this? Go suck an egg.

I have never attacked you personally without provocation, not ever.
You are very snarky. Very snarky and you use a lot of vulgarities. Lots of F bombs. Terrible just terrible dialogue
“Floyd was dead long before he died. His actual death was just a formality” This is one of the most hateful and insensitive remarks I have ever read on a forum and it’s yours. If you think calling a dummy “dummy” is worse than this comment I have to say you are a horrible person. Just clueless.

What are you blathering about? The only reason Trump can do what he does is idiots like you. I can tell from your avatar that you are a wack job.
Didn’t you just write this?
I don't use twitter but I couldn't possibly think of how it would affect anyone's life directly other than your feelings being hurt because someone said something you didn't like. Cant be any different than here on this site. People say stuff I don't agree with or like all the time on here. Tough shit if I don't like it, I can live with that or I can cry like a little bitch, no one will care and I can leave. Kinda like all the crying little bitches on Twitter are doing now that no one cares if the stay or leave. I mean really, who gives a flying fuck if you leave Twitter because Spaceman bought it. You can still post all your BS just like before except now your BS might be challenged, kinda like on here. Oh the humanity!! Those are my thoughts.
Seems like you are crying like a bitch. Now you want protection from the moderators?

If you answered Biden or Democrats you are an idiot.
We all know or should know that inflation is fundamentally caused by an imbalance between supply and demand. With increasing wages, low unemployment and an economy rebounding from the Covid-19 shutdowns we have higher demand. With supply disruptions, worker shortages, the War in Ukraine and an effort to punish Russia with sanctions, global and regional supply is constrained.
So how do we bring supply and demand back into balance? This is not a question any Republicans have made an attempt to answer.
How to lower demand?
We could trigger a recession and job losses that will curb demand. We can increase borrowing costs to consumers to curb demand but that might restrict supply by making it more expensive to buy new equipment to increase productivity.
We could curb demand by cutting the wages of those who have jobs and we could raise taxes leaving less money in peoples pockets to buy with.
We all remember the last time we had this high of inflation in 1982 under Reagan. Paul Volker, the Fed Chair pushed up the prime rate to 20% to knock down demand. The result was 10% unemployment and a recession. Is that what people want today? I guess it depends if you are one of the people to lose your job.
How to increase productivity and supply?
We need more workers. We need immigrants.
We need corporations to do their jobs, not to try to make more money by producing less like the oil companies do. Capitalism is failing.
We need the war in Ukraine to end.
Farmers get a lot a money and support from the government. Is this money going in their pockets or helping to lower prices?
We haven’t built a new refinery in the United States since 1973. Maybe the government should buy and operate one or two to keep the oil companies honest. It would be run like a public utility.

Instead of asking what's worse, ask what is better...lowering inflation or pretending it does not exist?
That makes no sense and your lack of responses to my questions shows you are clueless. What is your plan for lowering inflation again? A magic wand for idiots? The economy is working great for me. I just got a 100k raise in salary. A growing economy is more important to me than controlling prices. Airlines are very busy. Very very busy.

You misspelled Jimmy Carter.
Who was President in 1982 when we had 10%+ inflation? Reagan cut taxes for wealthy people in 1981. How did that lower inflation?
So the 10%+ unemployment was Reagan’s doing, right?
Reagan tripled the National Debt in 8 years. He raised the debt ceiling over 20 times and never had a balanced budget.

Better get used to long term inflation then.
Oh really? What is causing inflation right now? What would Republicans do to lower inflation? You may recall the last time we had inflation this high was under Reagan. Do you want a recession? Do you want high unemployment?
Inflation emerged as an economic and political challenge in the United States during the 1970s. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve board, led by Volcker, were widely credited with curbing the rate of inflation and expectations that inflation would continue. US inflation, which peaked at 14.8 percent in March 1980, fell below 3 percent by 1983.[21][22] The Federal Reserve board led by Volcker raised the federal funds rate, which had averaged 11.2% in 1979, to a peak of 20% in June 1981. The prime rate rose to 21.5% in 1981 as well, which helped lead to the 1980–1982 recession,[23] in which the national unemployment rate rose to over 10%.

Even PolitiFact came out and said that it is not factual to claim that suppression led to Abrams losing.
Nice try in your carefully worded statement but the reality is:
Kemp made some controversial decisions that probably hurt Democrats overall, but it’s difficult to determine exactly how many people were prevented from voting, Daniel P. Tokaji, who teaches election law at Ohio State University, told PolitiFact.
"The only really honest answer is that no one knows for sure how much voting was depressed by the alleged acts of ‘voter suppression’ by former Secretary of State Kemp," he said.
The so-called voter roll removal was not barring anyone from voting. They could still vote with a valid ID:
You made this part up

Moreover, how do you explain Democrats winning in 2020 and now possibly in 2022 if black people are suppressed? That would be a rather fucking massive block of people to suppress and still manage to lose an election.
Some of the alleged problems were addressed by changes in state law. For example, a 2019 law called for replacing the state’s outdated voting machines. The new system was implemented statewide in 2020.
Abrams had a valid point. Some of the issues were addressed after she objected. Some have not. Get it genius?

We all saw the long lines of black people waiting hours to vote. That was by design and an example of voter suppression.
The lawsuit cited multiple alleged problems, including the purging of eligible voters from voter rolls under a “use it or lose it” policy; the state’s so-called exact match voter registration rules; an insufficient number of voting machines at some precincts; and a lack of sufficient training for election officials. It asked a federal judge to find that Georgia’s elections processes violated the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
Some of the alleged problems were addressed by changes in state law. For example, a 2019 law called for replacing the state’s outdated voting machines. The new system was implemented statewide in 2020.
In February 2021, Jones threw out parts of the lawsuit, saying some allegations were made irrelevant by changes in state law or the plaintiffs’ lack of standing. Among them were some of the claims about voting machines and election technology, as well as the security of voter lists and polling place issues. The following month, Jones dismissed claims targeting the “use it or lose it” policy and some allegations of inadequate training of poll workers. He also dismissed some claims relating to provisional and absentee ballots. This was legal voter suppression he said.
The plaintiffs say data entry errors or differences as minor as a missing hyphen or apostrophe can trigger a non-match and that naturalized citizens can also be wrongly flagged as noncitizens if records are outdated. These problems disproportionately affect people of color and can depend on where a person lives because counties do things differently, the plaintiffs say.
The issues remaining for the trial have to do with the “exact match” policy, the statewide voter registration list and in-person cancellation of absentee ballots. The plaintiffs claim that Georgia’s secretary of state and State Election Board members are “denying and abridging Georgians’ right to vote” in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the U.S. Constitution.
Lawyers for the state argued the problems were minor and only effected black people and the alleged problems cited are not the responsibility of the state officials named in the lawsuit.
Kemp won by less than 55,000 votes. In 2018 there were 2.5 million black voters in Georgia

Neither could Stacey Abrams or Hilary Clinton, or many other prominent democrats:
Bullshit and nice whataboutism.
Hillary conceded and Abrams had a legitimate claim that the candidate suppressed black votes in his position as Secretary of State which is a disgrace unless you are a racist.
Trump then caused people to die with his lies on January 6 and ruined countless other lives.

I offered an explanation of how he was being logically consistent in his previous statements and his current actions. That does not imply that his statements apply to me, especially since his statements were specifically about him.

The question though is why is there more gun crime in Illinois than in Indiana despite having less access to guns?
Well they don’t have less access to guns unless you consider a 1 hour drive an obstacle. Guns travel across state lines as easy as cars.

What are the demographics of indiana vs the demographics of Chicago. I want to see if we can analyze that and help us determine the real reason why gun violence might be more of a problem in Chicago than in Indiana as a whole
What we need to determine is why to so many Indiana guns end up used in crimes in Illinois.

Regardless, even conspiracy theorists have a right to free speech on this site. You don't like a conspiracy theory of theirs? Prove them wrong. It's pretty easy when your focus is on finding and showcasing the truth instead of scoring victories and being a dick.
Lies are not entitled to free speech. You can’t prove anything to a conspiracy theorist, because they are not rational people. I’m convinced the best way to respond to them is with ridicule and make them understand they are the village idiot. And I am focused on the truth. You on the other hand are an alarmist, screaming fire when there is none. Again, these people deserve nothing but derision.
