    Just to white republicans, not to actual latinos.

    Or anyone else.

    This person was the physician for Obama, and as you say for Trump.
    Are you saying Obama's and Trump's doctor cannot be trusted? Do you have evidence to the contrary?

    You're doing the point here. Ronny is a GOP congressman. He is neither impartial or unbiased.

    His status as a doctor is pretty irrelevant

    Erm, hello, is Latinx racist?

    Nope.

    I know a Mexica dude he insists he's not Latino though. He says he's Hispanic because his ancestors were Spanish and not native American.

    It's a complete minefield

    My wife doesn’t think it’s racist. Just stupid. She doesn’t use it; as far as she’s concerned, she’s a proud Latina and sees no reason to “x”ify herself or anyone else. The Wiki article seems to indicate her position is far from a minority.

    Our guess it’s a case of anglos attempting to modify a term to simply fit into the construct of a language which does not put genders into the noun.

    Yeah only 3% of U.S. Hispanics actually use the term.

    Still, as you say, it doesn't mean it's an offensive or racist term.

    Only to people who are so, SO, desperate to try an pin anything they can on Boring Biden because "their guy" went down harder than a sack of spuds...even if it makes them look completely ridiculous in the process.

    Nah, simply it's accuse other for what you are guilty of yourself

    At this stage. I think Biden could shoot someone on Fifth Ave and the zealots would still vote for him.

    Care to point to his outrageous behavior? Just seeming like you're perpetually annoyed by anyone who isn't trump.

    Trump in 2016:

    "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

    Do you think he could impersonate a disabled person first, or is it straight from nice competent president to shooting someone?

    I see Joseph is carrying on the proud American tradition of illegally bombing countries.

    Economy starting to really hum. Productivity gains, job openings and some real wage growth all taking place. Inflation not a problem. Brilliant stewardship by Biden and his team. All comes down to the reopenings due to the vaccine rollout.

    Bombing countries and unconditional support for Israel are among the few areas in which you'll find bipartisan support. It's shíte all round but not unexpected.

    But that's a red line for me.

    That's absolutely inexcusably and seeing as they've abandoned the constitution on everything else, Biden can literally stop it.

    What's your solution when US forces are attacked? Do nothing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 82,420 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    And these were, to my knowledge, clean military targets, weapon and drone/drone-control facilities, and they were targeted because they launched attacks from those locations.

    Biden complied with AUMF and the War Powers act.

    When US forces are attacked where?


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,625 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    When US forces are attacked where?

    The latest airstrikes were on facilities used by Iranian backed militia that conducted drone strikes on American forces on Iraq. What do you think Biden should have done?


  • Registered Users Posts: 82,420 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    Attacked wherever they are. If you want to argue the location matters make the argument. I don't see how it does.

    The United States has zero business in Iraq (or Syria).

    Unfortunately not all Boardsies agree, and will justify the massacring of innocent people.

    Our withdrawal from the former is still in the works.
