That’s why Vance has come out criticising the reporting in this case had she been black I doubt he would need to rewrite the history of her killing, it’s bad enough when a black person is injured by law enforcement but white Americans still far outnumber voters of colour. Vance is thinking about the midterm elections
 
As I understand it, hit by a car a few months ago as part of his job hospitalised with three broken ribs.
Not sure part of anybody’s job is to get run over, unless you think you’re God and can hold back a few tonnes of vehicle.

Shows that he’s an arrogant man who now has little respect for anybody other than himself, especially women. Reminds me of those rioters over here who were supposed to be standing up for women, only to be found to be convicted of abusing them. That’s the type of person he is, and exactly what Trump wants from his ICE Beaters.
 
It has never been all that great really. Awful race relations through the 50s and 60s. McCarthyism was a big thing and an obsession with communism and labelling things socialist to demonise. Vietnam was a genocide built on lies. Nixon and his paranoia and weaponising of the state against the press and political opponents in the way Trump is now. Watergate. Big oil making policy decisions. Reagan and his nuclear nonsense. Perpetual god bothering. An obsession with guns and the resulting mass shootings monthly for years. Iraq and lies about WMDs. Only Obama can really stand out as being a **** free period on my lifetime I think. But yes Trump is something else. This is really bad
Has it really taken this post on a football forum to tell me the truth about the country I've lived and worked in for the past 39 years? Bloody hell.

In the times when I think you're correct I remember to go back on youtube and watch the video of Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing "This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land" in front of joyful thousands including Barack himself at the Lincoln Memorial after Obama's first inauguration.
Hope to God that that long-ago country is still there, hibernating.

Going back further than that. The genocide of the original inhabitants, the constant breaking of treaties and then taking over land. Deliberate starvation and causing deliberate disease, and the occasional massacres (the massacre at wounded knee is next level horrific, US soldiers were wearing the ripped off vaginas of the women they slaughtered on their hats as trophies according to Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which is a solid source). But, I lived there. I love aspects of that fucking country, and yeah, like someone else said, I hope those aspects find a way to start coming through again because this is truly grim.

No you’re not getting it.

358 broken ribs, 12689 stitches and incidents of ICE officers being hit by cars up 10 Trillion percent and this president will stop it!

I agree, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, was/is a real eye opener. Should be a set text for every American.
