Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Dustcan  
Last I saw thw CDC’s best estimate for the death rate was something like .3%, and 40% of the deaths have been in nursing homes. Any death is tragic but I remember watching the news months ago and seeing panic about it being much more dangerous.

@Background Pony #FE3C  
Blacks get harsher punishments than whites for equal crimes.
 
US pop 2018: 308,745,538, with 76.6% white (~236,499,083) & 13.4% black (~41,371,903).  
514 whites killed by blacks = 2.173% × 10 ^-4 (~22 in 10,000,000)  
234 blacks killed by whites = 5.656% × 10 ^-4 (~57 in 10,000,000)  
Blacks were more than 2.5x as likely to have a white killer per capita as whites were to have a black killer. Proportions and statistics, yo.
 
Yes, it is the case that more blacks were murder offenders. Why, though?

@Background Pony #6180
 
The current death rate is about 1.4%.
 
That sounds small It ain’t. That’s a ridiculously high number compared to most diseases., but when you have currently 6.19 million cases worldwide and 1.87 in America alone…

Double post.
 
Remember that restaurant owner that served cops for free who was killed in the crossfire? His shooter was identified (and mildly reprimanded) and turns out she was just itching for some abuse of power.

@Vivace  
Are they? The best way to measure that is through a study of juror bias: https://scholarworks.utep.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1016&context=christian_meissner  

 
This lines up with other studies demonstrating that white Americans tend to have a small or minuscule racial prejudice while black Americans tend to exercise a much stronger prejudice: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053168017753862

@Dustcan  
Current death rate based on what? The CDC is saying something different. Is your number limited by testing?

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
When he stood at the church didn’t say a thing. Then left like nothing even happened.
 
People now question his faith.
 
I question what is wrong with people that voted him to be President for him to do something so alien.

I don’t often watch Tucker Carlson but he’s the only Fox News commentator whom I like. He gave a baller speech about what’s going on and why it’s an emergency to the average American. Seriously, it’s the best speech regarding this crisis that anyone has made. I don’t think it’s possible to disagree with what he said, as his points were all coherent and presented with evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n5_D59lSjc  
(and yes, he did heavily criticize President Trump)

@Background Pony #FE3C  
That’s a (dubious) answer to a claim/question I never made/asked.

Some more news!
 
Turns out Barr (or so he says) personally ordered the perimeter around the White House expanded for Trump’s ego trip. He gave the order at the last minute then, when he and Trump were personally walking out to the church and saw that they could still peasants, ordered them gassed and shot.
 
And if you thought it hasn’t been long enough before Massacre Mitch does something vile he’s happy to disappoint you: This time blocking a condemnation of Trump’s attack on the crowd for his ego trip.
 
‘Thoughts and Prayers is reserved for white victims’ apparently.

This is why I’m more harsh on Christianity than any other religion.

@NitroFury  
One of my biggest issues with Christianity and a huge reason I find to ironically be the least likely to be true religion, is the level of inconsistencies and the fact that there are literally thousands of denominations, they can’t even agree amongst themselves what’s the “right” version of it.

@igotnopicks  

Has it ever occurred to you that elected officials do not exactly carry out the individual intent of their voters?

@igotnopicks  
Fear-mongering, is the one tactic the Right-Wingers use.

@Mikey  
Almost all religions get part of it right. The main message of Christianity is just to love your neighbor.
 
Trump is a cunt who uses religion to divide people and he will be roasted in Hell when Jesus returns. Meanwhile, people of all different faiths will be rewarded eternally, so long as they weren’t hateful bigots, like the mainstream bastardization of Christianity has turned so many people into.
 
This is not as inconsistent as you’re making it out to be, though. Jesus predicted that deceivers would come in his name to trick people into following a false Gospel. The things we’re seeing with Trump, the GOP, the pedophile priests and all the other horrors done in the name of Christianity are exactly what Christ warned us about. They will pay the price when the Son of Man returns to restore the world for all the different races, genders, sexualities, religions, etc. coming together again as one people of God.

@NitroFury  
To be fair, there are plenty of Christians, including the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington (D.C.), who are willing to call out Donny Don’t’s bullshit.

Steve King lost his primary,

@Background Human  
It is very interesting to see how it’s mostly non-Christians who laud Christian leaders that finger-wag. I suppose it’s no coincidence that liberal churches face the highest decline in attendance despite their attempts to muddle Christian teachings.

@UserAccount  
That implies that Christianity is even true but ok.

@Thanotos Omega
 
Haven’t heard that name in a hot minute. Had to look him up but he’s the guy who openly bemoaned how “Nationalism” and I kid you not “White Supremacy” are such dirty words now.
 
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

@Background Pony #FE3C  
Of course. This is America. No one wants to go to a church that preaches empathy. Fuck that hippie shit.

@Background Pony #FE3C  
Unlike, good people, like Preacher Kenneth. Right?

@Mikey  
The morale message is good whether the miracles and religious part istrue or not

@Thanotos Omega  
Good riddance

@Background Pony #6180  
Fair.
