Why aren’t Republicans in favor of drug testing presidential sons, I wonder…?
The right people get a pass on using drugs.
Lies and deception from the GOP:
Trump trades a pardon for a favor:
I guess some drug dealers are good people.
Wouldn’t have been close if not for all those child sex slaves who were forced to watch Sleepy Joe’s blithering from their Martian prisons.
You don’t need a psychology degree to understand that human beings are always going to viscerally perceive a physical, bodily threat to their person or their property, as a more dire scenario than a slow, long con involving embezzlement, fraud, and other bureaucratic abstractions.
And the Wi-Fi connection from that far away is terrible.
Nor do you need a political economy degree to understand that successful thieves can use psychology to get away with thievery, and that the grand, legal thievery harms far more people than the petty thievery ever does.
Apropos of nothing: do y’all think Melania wore that hideous green-screen dress to make some kind of point that we haven’t figured out yet?
Surely someone who was in the modeling business and married to a reality (HA!) TV star would know about green screens? Even little kids know about them–local newscasters always have fun with them on Halloween. Not to mention all the TV people who were covering the convention-- they would have known the effect.
Like the time she wore that jacket that said “I don’t care,” or whatever it was. She usually wears tasteful, simple, un-showy gowns on these occasions. I can’t believe that dress was an accident.
I was trying to explain why white-collar crime is less of an emotional voting issue for people than regular crime.
Apparently, we’re going to get the whole story behind the “I don’t care” jacket when the Wolkoff book comes out.
Oooooo. 
Putting out tell-all books about trump & co is a whole separate arm of the publishing industry.
I assumed she wanted to stand out, but far away from the other tacky women wearing bright reds. She found a color that was guaranteed no one else would wear, in a design meant to signify her stately position. (I hated it, personally, but others’ mmv.)
Hehe. It probably shows up on satellite pictures. 
Oh, sure. I agree. Street crime is much more ripe for railing against by demagogues–often by the same demagogues who are engaging in white-collar crime.
That said, what you were responding to wasn’t talking about white-collar crime, I don’t think. Rather, it was talking about the rapacity engaged in by landlords and other propertied-class members, rapacity that’s for the most part legal.
The point made by the post Lamoral first responded to, it appears to me, was something along the lines of ‘people should NOT be criticizing those doing looting, etc, because the REAL theft occurs in board rooms’. Here’s the quote, embedded in Lamoral’s response:
In general, the message 'we shouldn’t criticize those doing looting because they live with so much injustice’ seems to emanate, in the main, from white people. And a profoundly patronizing and condescending message it is, too.
Aside from being patronizing and condescending it’s tailor-made to help elect–or re-elect–the most brutal and repressive right-wing candidates available. So there’s that.
Mostly from white people quoting other white people who never actually said it.
That citation doesn’t in any way support your claim. The quotations from Martin Luther King show that he did not excuse looting on the grounds that those doing the looting had suffered injustice. He did not state that no one should criticize looters, because they lived their lives under oppression.
Instead, what the quotations show is that King saw rioting, looting, etc. as a legitimate cry for attention:
King advocated not for violence as a tool of social change, but for economic measures as tools of social change:
There was no “burn baby burn” or “no justice no peace” in King’s speeches or writings.
Certainly King said or wrote nothing akin to ‘we shouldn’t criticize those doing looting because they live with so much injustice,’ as you assert.
