Triggered: Stories to make you mad.

If Trump is a "scumbag", then every single democrat is a scumbag times a million & Hillary, being by far the worst among them, is scumbag times a billion. 👆 ✅

Trump is, BY FAR, the best US president in modern history.

And *yawn* at the usual "Trump is a racist" nonsense. That shit isn't even worth the effort responding to, tbh. Leftists have overused the word 'racist' so much that it has lost pretty much all meaning. Simply put, anyone the crybabies don't like is a racist in their tiny little minds lol.

And you're right, squall, that coming to USA is not a right, it's a privilege as u said. As a sovereign nation, we have every goddamn right to determine who gets to come here and who doesn't... Period.

Crybaby lefties crying racism simply because we believe in enforcing immigration laws and having strong borders is one of the major reasons we don't take their racism accusations seriously.

Triple D even posted on this when he spoke of the Black free slave that owned a ship full of canons to protect himself. That was possible because of 2A.

It's one of my favorite stories. Compared to today, his ship was like having the best equipped nuclear missile submarine. It was the best of the best that weapons of war had to offer at the time.

And the dude was a former slave, was freed (I think he bought his own freedom, I can't remember), and ran his own massive, heavily armed, merchant ship empire.

What a badass. We should teach kids about this guy.

But no gun attacks, right? So gun control does control guns. Thanks for acknowledging it.

Well, when your gun deaths before your gun bans were almost completely non-existent and your intentional homicide rates actually INCREASE after gun bans, and your gun deaths remained steady after your gun bans...

No.

Not at all.

Gun control didn't work even a little bit. It's completely unrelated to why it was banned. And it is a very costly, tax-consuming policy. In fact, you can make a better case, based on the actual data, that gun bans cause a slight uptick in intentional homicide rates.

I'm just gonna repost this:

Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.

“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”

At one point, the former mayor brought up New York City’s stop-and-frisk practices, which gained national attention in 2011. Bloomberg said that during his last year in office, a minister at a Baptist church in Harlem invited him to speak.

“While I’m sitting there waiting for him to introduce me, he said to his congregation, ‘You know, if every one of you stopped and frisked your kid before they went out at night, the mayor wouldn’t have to do it,’” Bloomberg said. “And so I knew I was going to be okay with that audience.”

This gels with the fact many areas with the strictest gun control are densely populated by minorities.

And if you know your history, gun control as we know it today began with scared legislators in the civil rights era scared of an armed uprising of blacks marching on Washington.

It's an awkward convo, for sure.

If you care about black people, you'll address the violence problem, abortion problems, and drug problems that disparately impact black people.

But at the same time, singling out black people as being violent, hyper-sexual, drug-addicts feels very racist. HOWEVER, I will say that NOT addressing these problems is the actual racism - black lives matter, too.

I don’t see addressing a problem as racist. It’s like me addressing a friend that is morbidly obese about there health as fat shaming.

Worse thing you can do for a love one, is to refuse to tell them the truth, because You are afraid of hurting there feeling.

That's the thing, though. No one addressing blacks are doing so for their sake.

If you're on the right, you want to shame them and use then as a rallying point for your white base.

If you're on the left, you don't want to risk alienating them from your side.

And if you're neither of them, you're probably trying to sell them something.

This isn't to say sincere people do not exist. But I highly doubt sincere people are the sorts to control information flow, or curry the backing of rich people who control the money flow and only care about return on investments (Jesus would never have lasted in the free market, because no one in a free market prioritize's humain concerns above financial returns.)

Lol, I think you went a bit too far right, my friend.

White people rule we invented tons of neat things.

On behalf of all white people I say to the world: you're welcome 🙂

Dad who paid for daughter's education confronts Warren over student loan forgiveness: 'Can I have my money back?'

Okay so in all seriousness, I've joked about this happening...people who have paid getting their money back. I actually don't think they should get the money back if the current debts are wiped clean(I mean that's spending even more friggin money), but I also do not think the debts should be wiped clean unless someone can prove they were mislead when applying for a loan.

As to why I don't think anyone who paid should get money back if we wipe away current debt: I feel it's contradictory to be against reparations, but in favor of that. And of course any progressive against this but in favor of reparations is a hypocrite.

In the IT world, we call it "net new" so only those that will acquire debt will get the benefit.

How's that?

What about if people who have a payback period of 10 or more years?

What about people working in professions for which their degree qualifies them but their student loans take up greater than 5% of the monthly income and they are in the 2nd to the bottom quintile in income?

The student loan crisis is not sustainable. What is your solution? I threw some ideas out there. What do you think?

I don't agree with wiping the debt clean, but I'd say we try to address the problem by making it so any college that gets public funding has to drastically lower tuition rates. Lets move forward to try to prevent the problem in the future.

How about if a person is on time with their payments for 5 years, the interest gets reduced to 0%.

Also community colleges can be a lot cheaper than other places, so what about people who took out loans to attend super expensive places? When there were alternative colleges they could have gotten into that were cheaper?

How about, their loan debt gets paid off if they serve at least 4 years in the military and earn a good conduct medal.

Okay. So what about all those other people who went to public colleges that didn't get the new discount rates and are still paying for their student loans? How is it fair to them. Keep in mind, that math is done. You could put yourself through college on minimum wage 40 years ago. You can't do that now: college costs increased FAR faster than wages.

What about all those others that paid for their college tuition, books, etc. out of their pockets that didn't get the new discount rates? How is it fair to the responsible poor people (like I was) that paid for most or all of their college costs?

You LIBTARDED SOCIALIST! How DARE you be a b*tch ass socialist taking my hard earned money for things I've already paid for! I'm not paying for illegals' kids to go to college at a discount rate!

How about your move to a socialist country and take your ideas there and let us live with our freedom and capitalism, here?

Sounds good.

But it doesn't address the absurd inflation problem. So we need another solution in addition to this idea. Something that reduces the actual total cost of going to college.

I feel it's less fair for the tax dollars of those who paid off their debts to go to paying off the debts of others than it is not wiping away current debts.

And as for the costs of college rising, isn't this because the government got involved? Or am I wrong on that? What caused the increase?

Remove all public funding from any college that costs more than 8,000 a year to attend. that includes govt grants/loans for students.

Expand the job of the Army Corp of Engineers to build more infrastructure in the USA and let folks join up to pay for their education, boom winner.
