The difficulty in fighting stupid

[JimmySpeaks]

Stupid is thinking because someone else is rich that you’re poor.  And because you think you’re poor they are required to agree with you and give you what they have.

I will admit it is more "fun" having a dialogue with people like yourself and @WrestlingRasta even in the face of certain disagreements. Overall it seems to be more civilized with far less ad hominem attacks which I certainly am guilty of. 
 

I do tend to get caught up slumming it with those such as @Scouts Honor @JimmySpeaks as well as others here... 

The analogy id equate it to is being back in college and perhaps there is a girl that's been coming on to you for a while but you would consider below your standards and truthfully, a bit dirty so you've held her at bay. But one night perhaps you let your guard down and your judgement is impaired so you finally give in but feel sick to your stomach the next morning after the encounter. 
 

I always try and tell myself to do better but hey, no one's perfect...

The titles of the 50 threads you created give away the fact that you enjoy and want to “slum it”. Just giving you what you want is all that’s happening.

What would a citizen be afraid of in the past two years that is unique to Rs in charge?

Afraid that illegal immigrants will be deported?

Aggressive language that makes the country look bad?

Able-bodied get less handouts?

Less crime…

Less government jobs…

——

War and costs are not unique…

——-

I am tired of seeing plastic women in the media.  Trump women.  Fear isn’t the word… just repulsed.

Last election my niece was afraid that her rights would be taken away, cried over Project 2025, just dems creating fear by design for votes.

I think easy ones to spot here are those spewing the "all Muslims bad" and "Israel is perfect and can never be questioned" comments that have obviously fallen victim to propaganda.

yet you don't also see the other side of that

nor the media spin on that

Nobody crying for socialism is doing it because they want to share their stuff. Their intelligence is so limited that they think if everything was shared equally they would have more not less.

I was implying that rich people have to share their stuff with them.

110% strawman. Nobody is asking for absolute equality. They just want the rich to pay their fair share. Actually, the middle class needs to pay higher taxes too if we want to contonue to fund Medicare and social security and other basic services.

You better get up to speed on what your people are after. The proletariat will never stop until the bourgeoisie are destroyed. You want someone else to pay for what you want.

Yes, I am in agreement, but the idiots who think they will be on the taking side will be real surprised when they end up on getting their stuff taken.

Will you answer the question?

[jross]

Muslims being afraid in America is because a small percentage but high enough raw count continuously create a bad stereotype for their people, through acting violently according to their written religious materials. One of the kindest people I know is Muslim. Vetted Muslim immigration is fine.  Unvetted and large scale Muslim immigration is criminally stupid and immoral.

Your characterization is flawed. The act was passed but when disclosure was pushed by shumer- the senate voted along party lines to not allow for congress to force compliance of the act and force litigation with DOJ. Shumer probably knew this would happen but that's politics. Maybe he didn't want them released who knows- but when push came to shove to force compliance- GOP voted not to allow congress the chance to bring a lawsuit against the DOJ for their non-compliance and force the release of the Epstein documents. What did they have to gain by doing this? It becomes obvious when the only person mentioned in decades worth of documents more than Epstein himself is Trump.

 

Some AI for your consumption with respect to time:

Chuck Schumer's role was primarily to push for disclosure in the Senate, use Senate procedures to pressure Republicans, and later try to force the Justice Department to comply with the law. His record includes several distinct actions.

Schumer's actions, in chronological order

July 2025 Tried to compel DOJ to turn over records

Schumer and Senate Democrats invoked a provision known as the “Rule of Five,” which allows five members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to request information from an executive agency within the committee's jurisdiction. They sought Epstein-related records from the DOJ.

Sept. 2025 Introduced an amendment requiring disclosure

Schumer proposed an amendment to a defense bill directing the attorney general to make Epstein-related documents public. On September 10, the Senate voted 51–49 to table the amendment, preventing it from advancing through that legislative route.

Nov. 2025 Helped secure passage of the original act

After the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act 427–1, Schumer moved for the Senate to pass the House bill immediately, without amendments or delay. The Senate agreed by unanimous consent, and the bill became law on November 19.

2026 Sought legal enforcement

Schumer proposed Senate action to authorize litigation against the administration over alleged noncompliance with the transparency law. The resolution, S. Res. 597, was introduced in February 2026.

6. The important complication: Schumer's September vote

Schumer supported disclosure, but his September 2025 amendment was tabled by a 51–49 vote. The official Senate record confirms the result.

Bottom line: The documented record shows Schumer pushed for disclosure, helped expedite passage of the original act, and later sought legal action against the DOJ. His enforcement proposal was referred to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee; introducing it did not itself authorize a lawsuit.

This is good information by itself, yet you still have ignored the additional context provided that explains why Sept was denied.

fantastic post. The goal has always been the destruction of the bourgeoisie as a social class. End private ownership of industry so everyone owns the means of production collectively. GTFOOH

Im still waiting for the name of just one prominent communist in this country. Their bs response is always something like " its a slippery slope." 

[Offthemat]

Thus, the difficulty in fighting stupidity. 

[JimmySpeaks]

Some idiots on here think you go straight from capitalism to communism.  It starts with more and more socialism shoved down your throats then evolves into communism.  A socialist is just a patient communist.
