OT: Richard Sherman arrested and denied bail!

[Burque]

Honestly, I don't know if that's the answer either. When politicians work together we get shit like the War on Drugs, the Patriot Act and war in Iraq.

I think national politics is counterproductive, no matter who wins the Oval Office half the country will be unhappy and won't feel represented. I'd like to see us emphasize local politics again. There's no reason for 150million+ Americans to be unhappy every 4-8 years.

That was fear mongering more than it was bipartisan politics.

I think to get things like Universal healthcare we are going to need some bipartisan support or we are just going to keep paying out massive amounts to our insurance/big pharma overlords.

I get that but why apologize for something you are going to say you weren’t guilty of?

You can be sorry for the embarrassment and drama you put your family through without admitting those actions rise to a criminal level.

Yeah LA county is crazy expensive these days. I like where I live but honestly once I get out and rolling on my own I could likely live much easier elsewhere. We'll see.

Yeah. I like the area, but can never see raising a family here with a wanting a house, yard, etc. We’re looking at Washington where it’s much more affordable.

All but one of the 39 congressional districts where at least 60 percent of residents have received a coronavirus shot are represented by Democrats, according to a Harvard University analysis that presents one of the most detailed looks yet at the partisan split behind the nation’s diverging vaccination drive. By contrast, Republicans represent all but two of the 30 districts where fewer than one-third of residents have received a shot.

The partisan divide in vaccinations is starker than you realize

The effort to reach the unvaccinated has become the latest political fault line in the Covid response.

As a kid I grew up in CA in 1950's and at that time it was a great place to live. Now I would never consider living there.

Yeah I don’t blame you. I’ve even seen a huge difference in just the 7 years I’ve been out here. It’s was cool when I moved here and now I need to get the hell out.

The problem with that is that there is no communication any longer. A Dem could put out legislation that was exactly what the GOP wants and they would resist passing it because there is a D next to the name on the bill.

People need to stop that shit and start talking again, having dinner and drinks together, playing golf together, and hashing out small differences to get reasonable legislation passed.

I believe the Democrats actually put out republican inspired healthcare legislation and the republicans have been trying to kill it for a decade.

Where did I say republicans were not part of the problem?

Your the one pretending they are the ONLY problem.

If it weren't for Republicans most people would be vaccinated by now.

If it weren't for Republicans and minorities most people would be vaccinated by now.

The minority vaccine aversion is primarily due to Russian disinformation campaigns, something Republicans strangley support ever since Trump took over your party.

I think there is an apples vs oranges comparison going on. Considering the main group of whites not being vaccinated are Republicans, it is a pretty clear link from Trump's and Republican rhetoric to their hesitancy to get vaccinated.

By contrast, while I am sure there are some black people and minorities that are hesitant to get vaccinated, there is also the issue of access.

“One of the problems that I saw very early on is that if you’re going to have mostly hospitals and pharmacies dispensing the vaccine, we’re going to miss a lot of people,” Blackstock said. According to recent research from GoodRX, minority communities tend to have fewer pharmacies per capita, which puts them at a disadvantage based on where they live.

Why Black Americans aren't being vaccinated for COVID-19 at the same rate as whites

Early data on the rollout of the vaccines for COVID-19 shows that minority populations in the United States already disproportionately affected by the pandemic are not being immunized at the same rate as white Americans.

So not sure you can equate Republicans being stubborn because of Trump with minorities potentially not having access to vaccines as well as some vaccine skepticism owing to a history of discrimination against minorities in healthcare.

Or you can be sorry for the embarrassment and drama you put your family through by admitting guilt and moving on.

Sure but that is for Sherman to decide not you. You asked why he would express remorse but plead guilty. Not why he didn't express remorse in the manner you prefer.

If you just want to whine about the fact he didn't express remorse in accordance with your preference then simply do so. No need to ask a question you do not wish to hear the answer to.

Yeah I was born in CA. I had to leave because all you transplants kept making it worse. Its ruined now, thanks! I guess my migrant ancestors ruined it for the Mexicans and Natives, so..................... such is life. My low % of native blood is boiling.

Or you. No one is whining except you. If you apologize for doing something don’t turn around and say you aren’t guilty of it the next day. Not a big deal vortex boy

You are having multiple conversations regarding a question you asked where apparently you were never going to accept an answer other than the one you wanted. Talk about a vortex.

P.S. Sherman apologized generally. He did not apologize for any specific acts so your premise is flawed.

Blah blah blah freaking blah, take your vortex elsewhere. The next time I want your opinion I’ll ask it.

Generally speaking when you ask a question on a public message board, you are asking for people's opinion. Next time if you wish to just speak to a single poster then send them a PM. Otherwise, you did already ask for my opinion dummy.

I get that but why apologize for something you are going to say you weren’t guilty of?

Note in the English Language, a ? denotes that you are ASKING a question.
