Now Warren wants to up the "reparations" game with "gay reparations".

So in fairness, then heterosexual married couples should get "reparations" for the years they were single?

Hell, some of us deserve reparations for the years we've been married.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Do Illinoisans get reparations for the years before the Supremes forced the state to allow citizens to carry? Etc, etc.

I never kept any black slaves, so I don't owe any reparations to blacks who are alive today. I never kept any homosexual slaves, so I don't owe any reparations to homosexuals who are alive today.

It wasn’t until marriage equality became law that gay & lesbian couples could jointly file tax returns—so they paid more in taxes. Our government owes them more than $50M for the years our discriminatory tax code left them out. We must right these wrongs. https://www.mic.com/p/elizabeth-warrens-refund-equality-act-would-give-lgbtq-couples-the-tax-refunds-they-were-previously-denied-18022982
Didn't there used to be a marriage penalty in the tax code?  Why would it be some particular advantage to file jointly?

How do I go about claiming "gay reparations"?  Do I just check a box on a form or do I have to "prove it".  If the former, I'll check the box and get some of that sweet, sweet, free .gov money.  If the latter, umm, I'll probably pass.

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.

You just have to identify as gay.  Everyone els is required to believe you.

Once again proof that Kurt Schlichter's "People's Republic" books, which I first thought were way, way overdone on the SJW stuff, are turning out to be non-fiction instead of fiction.

Prepare your livers for this Thursday's Democratic Debate drinking game. And if you need to make a grocery store run... do it now. I suggest you take a truck.
The last one about pandering to identity politics is too general.  You might as well have a keg tap in your mouth.

"Cocaine Mitch" isn't cancelling any Senate votes so the 7 Dems can get to the debates early.


Nor should he. Their jobs are being United States Senators. They can play campaign games on their own time.

Can we just get McConnell and Bolton as president and veep? Sure we'll all die in Bolton's mega war, but the DGAF attitude is something we should all strive for.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I'm all for reparations- every black family should get the equivalent value to 40 acres and a mule, paid with 150 years of compounded interest. This money should be confiscated directly from the ideological descendants of the slave owners- democrats.

I'm already Irish, so if I identify as gay and black also (Like Shaun King, aka Talcum X), I can check all the boxes and I'll be rolling in sweet, sweet, free* .gov&reparations money.



* and & - Not "free", but taxpayer provided.   Maybe not so sweet either, given that it's result of theft.

I have no idea who Marianne Williamson is (other than one of the 1.5Million Democrat presidential candidates), but she's DEFINITELY just distinguished herself from the rest of the field.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I think it is interesting and noteworthy that no one on this board, or for that matter in the national media, seems to have noticed our Governor, Jay Inslee, very much at all.  Give it up, Jay.
