What has your panties in a wad? Besides petting a rescue dog did he toss paper towels at the victims and block $20 billion in aid?
He's not informed. Just repeating talking points from Fox News, Truth Social, right wing media and extremist Republicans about what to say and think about Biden and his administration's emergency response. He obviously knows nothing whatsoever. Lies and conspiracies are all they have anymore. No platform or issues. No governing. No actual news sources. Just trumpism.

Biden’s administration continues to do everything possible to aid Hawaii and will never do what the former guy did: blame them for not raking the forest, threaten to withhold aid, minimize/downplay the damage, blame the governor, mayor etc, and deny climate science.

He sure is. Among the things he isn’t doing, unlike your guy, is preparing to surrender for processing at the Fulton County Jail and then hiding from tough questions on the republican debate stage.
If your a gambling man let’s make a wager
I say no jail time and a very small slap on the wrist
What do you say?

I couldn't disagree with you more on the haves and have not issue
We all have the same opportunity in America regardless of starting point
To say anything different is an insult to our system
Once you start down the road of white male stuff I will not follow
Once you start with that crap where does it stop?
By doing this you are saying others are less then
You are trying to add training wheels where they are not needed and all that does is hinder your ability to succeed at riding
You really want to help anyone then help them, it really is just that simple
The rub comes because they need to want to succeed and thats usually where the problem lies

You are older then me and we have had different life experiences
How many people have you tried to help and how did they receive it?

For example I work with a lot of guys
Most are brown and a few white guys
The brown guys are usually way more open to learning then the white guys
Now this may be a product of the field I'm in but I think its more then that
I think people born in America are very entitled and they think they have a birth right to success

I'll make a deal with you or anyone reading this
You bring me a person that really wants to succeed and is willing to work hard and I will have them making 6 figures within 3 years
I don't care about race, sex, religion, or anything else

By your comments you are stating that other races or women have a harder time rising in our society
I call BS

These are just my opinions
Yes they are your opinions and there is not very much we would ever agree on. I think we should stop trying. Live and let live is the right thing to do. Be productive. Be responsible. Be accountable. Be respectful. Be truthful even when it hurts :)

Once again classifying folks by the color of their skin. That just proves the point that white males have a privilege in this country and as one I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot of privilege over other genders and races.

What privileges do you have over whom?
Everyone on this planet has privileges over anyone else
Are you saying a black gay woman cannot rise in America the same a a straight white man?

Its quite simple if you want to help people then help people
Open your home, checkbook, time, education, vehicles, employment, and whatever else you have

Its funny to hear people, I am not saying you here, b**ch about problems while not being willing to be a part of the solution

Many do not want our stinking help. They just do not want to be marginalized, profiled, under valued, criminalized etc. Neither of us understand what that feels like. We just need to be aware. No conspiracy. No skin off your back. Awareness is just not that hard...

What a cop out answer
You know I'm right and you decided to go with one of the lefts typical BS replies

Lets take you for example
Someone younger has privilege over you because they may have longer to live
Someone that works inside has privilege because they don't have to tolerate the heat
Someone healthier has privilege because they don't have to sweat stuff like covid as much

You can take any 2 people in the world and do this

For you to think any group is better off then any other is off base unless you're just trying to marginalize someone
Me, I hold people to account and thats becoming more rare by the day
