Are you Jamaican? I thought you found cultural appropriation offensive, or does it not count when you do it...?
LOL! Are we being stupid again?
Do you know my history?
Clearly not!

Me too. FogBlue has even more tolerance than me - he still seems to monitor Bigga's posts.I’m amazed there’s anyone on here that hasn’t got him on ignore tbh.

As you well realize, SCOTUS is heavily stacked conservative - in the wake of upcoming anti-abortion and pro-gun rulings... well this is frankly small potatoes.
If there's a silver lining in all of this - it's that SCOTUS is so far Right and off majority sentiment, that their rulings are going to spark widespread anger; and since the majority of US citizens oppose their far Right stance - there's some chance that blowback in upcoming elections against Republican sentiment may occur.

Talking of SCOTUS, has anyone suggested Brett Kavenaugh modify his house to have a single fortified entry/exit door and arm his housekeeper?As you well realize, SCOTUS is heavily stacked conservative - in the wake of upcoming anti-abortion and pro-gun rulings... well this is frankly small potatoes.

The thing with the SCOTUS is that it should not be political. The fact it now clearly is should sharpen a few minds.As you well realize, SCOTUS is heavily stacked conservative - in the wake of upcoming anti-abortion and pro-gun rulings... well this is frankly small potatoes.

However there is nothing here that the political bodies cant sort out. With decent working majority the Dems could create laws to counter act what SCOTUS is doing. A clear act to legalise abortion as an example would give no room for courts to influence it.
The public opinion is on there side - but the electoral system is stacked in favour of the GOP. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Agree about SCOTUS and that it *should not* be political - but is.The thing with the SCOTUS is that it should not be political. The fact it now clearly is should sharpen a few minds.

Disagree entirely about the power of legislation to overcome SCOTUS. Any ruling passed into law against - say abortion, or gun rights, and so forth - will be challenged by the Right - and important laws are going to wind up in Supreme Court - and given the bias, no legislation passed into law that's anti-gun or pro-LGBTQ or pro-immigration or pro environment or pro science or pro separation of religion and state - none of them, are going to stand the test of "constitutionality."
SCOTUS is the Right's trump card.

Haha!
It's funny as Fog was the FIRST to avoid my posts and you all followed like lost puppies.
I'll give him the credit that he understands my goals are for a speedier timeline for things to happen for the working class, whilst all you posters 'ignoring me' are happy for those people to suffer longer for the sake of big business and the rich agendas.
I called out all these parties in US and UK serving the rich and you people stick your fingers in your ears thinking you're fighting for the right causes for the working class.
You are all disingenuous clowns as you avoid Biden's hypocritical stances on courting murderous regimes for oil for one example!
