  1. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Remember when MLK jr said, "To further the cause of social justice go down the street and rob and loot your neighbors." Me neither, because it didn't happen. I fully sympathize with the situation in...

  2. Are Nurses Superstitious?

    TomPaine replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not super stitious, but I am a little

  3. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

    TomPaine posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    We all love evidence-based practice right? Well the evidence the Wall Street Journal provides shows there is not a systemic targeting of black Americans. In fact, the evidence provided (links below)...

  4. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong again baloney. When accounting for proportionality blacks commit more crime (and therefore encounter police more frequently) than non-blacks. From the FBI: African Americans are 13% of the U.S....

  5. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The Washington Post compiled data on all the police killings in 2019. There were 1,003 people killed by police. The results are here:...

  6. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Way to cherry pick a couple of sentences to fit your agenda. The focus of the paper was that there is no evidence that white officers shoot people of color at a higher frequency. They even said, "We...

  7. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well maybe the liberal governor, mayors, city councils and police chiefs in California should change the policies there. Or maybe the people should stop voting for these do-nothing liberals who shout...

  8. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I like how you ignore the evidence presented and then type a bunch of names with no context. Just like in the other thread where you listed a bunch of names and I laid out the explanation for each....

  9. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    "There are multiple instances of cops killing every race for literally no reason and walking away free. It's a police brutality issues, not a race issue." = 100% accurate. Check out this facebook...

  10. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    - It's a little early, and disingenuous, to include George Floyd on that list. - Emmet Till wasn't killed by the police. He was killed by civilians. - Tamir Rice was carrying a replica gun and police...

  11. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Minnesota is a deeply blue state (the last time the state voted red in a presidential election was 1972) and Minneapolis is a deep blue city, the last Republican mayor of Minneapolis was in 1973. The...

  12. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Check out this screenshot...for the third time now on this thread I will say that censorship is bad whether it comes from Trump, social media companies, the government or anywhere else. People should...

  13. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think events like what happened to George Floyd happen more than we know. We only see a fraction of them that happened to get recorded. A simple Google/Youtube search will show...

  14. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Antifa is most definitely a violent far left group. Google what they did in Portland. There is video of them attacking and harassing elderly citizens who were just in the wrong place at the wrong...

  15. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Where did I say Trump was censored? I went back and looked at this thread and I never said that. I said censorship is bad whether it comes from trump or other

  16. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Trumps opinion was tagged with a "fact check" warning, not deleted. His opinion! While the leaders of Iran and North Korea are allowed to spew lies and propaganda with no fact-checking. How can you...

  17. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Trumps tweet was an opinion. It shouldn't have been tagged with a warning. I may not agree with what he says/tweets but I will defend his right to say it. By selectively "fact checking" tweets,...

  18. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    @herring and @toomuch, most of the rioters are from MN. That was incorrect information given by the governor:...

  19. Businesses need to fully reopen now!

    TomPaine posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    As we've passed the two month mark of the lockdown it's become apparent that two things are true...the virus isn't as bad as the "experts" made it out to be and some governors have become drunk with...

  20. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    We agree there. Peaceful protestors should be left alone. Looters and rioters should be

  21. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Honest question for you Toomuch, what do you think the response should be in Minneapolis from the police? Should they stop the looting and rioting and let it

  22. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Unfortunately inappropriate, fabricated, racist or hateful language comes from people of all political views. If you can't see that you're part of the problem. Watch this video from John Stossel....

  23. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Toomuch, a simple Google search will yield numerous results of conservatives being shadow banned. That's the practice of letting them post but not showing that post to many or any of their followers....

  24. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Toomuchbaloney, you seem to be missing my point and conflating several issues. Everyone with a working brain is appalled by what happened to George Floyd and people want to see the cop arrested and...

  25. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Google Yael Roth. He's Twitter's "fact checker" and has a long history of anti-trump tweets. https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/Twitter-fact-checker-has-history-of-politically-charged-posts/ My...
