Beto O'Rourke backs reparations commission: 'Absolutely I would sign that into law'

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas said Thursday that if elected president he would sign off on a resolution that calls for the creation of a commission to study reparations for the descendants of slaves.

The embrace of the reparations push on Capitol Hill comes after he passed on multiple opportunities to sign off on previous iterations of the legislation that former Rep. John Conyers Jr. pushed for years with little success.

Asked by Rev. Al Sharpton at a National Action Network gathering in New York whether he could be counted on if elected president to sign the bill - now being carried by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas - Mr. O’Rourke didn’t miss a beat.

“Yes,” he said. “Absolutely I would sign that into law.”

The Jackson Lee bill has won 31 co-sponsors on Capitol Hill, including Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who is also running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Ms. Gabbard, Mr. O’Rourke and former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland - three members of the class of 2013 - did not co-sponsor the Conyers-led efforts in previous sessions of Congress.

The idea, though, has picked up speed in the 2020 presidential race.

Politics is the one are where even symbolic gestures matter, though assuming the Ds try to use it as a hammer against the GOP, I'm not sure it actually helps them.

Orange juice costs like 10 dollars in Seoul clubs because they hire whores to work in the club and hit on dudes who they then ask to buy them juice (rather than alcohol which is expensive and has less mark-up)

I remember finding this aspect of Korean nightlife hilarious

Slavery was a net negative for the US. Automation and ingenuity is responsible for America's incredible rise as an economic miracle. Plenty of shitty societies had slavery and didn't rise to the heights we did.

For example, YOUR ENTIRE CONTINENT.

if you're already playing that game it means you know your position is untenable and weak. go ahead; prove me wrong. explain why slavery catapulted the US to the tippy top but could never get any African nation to the second story.

Its when someone else has posession of something and you use force or deception to take it from them and maintain control of it yourself.

Lol, you are trying to say the US hasn't benefited from 200 years of labor and a continent full of free land. I can't imagine a place other than xo where I would encounter such a preposterous argument.

I just can't. I...just can't.

-Are one one of a handful of black peoplee to get into Stuyvesant, a school that's harder to get into than Harvard

-Get into Yale ( and don't give me any BS about that just being AA because my SAT score was exactly at Yale's median the year I applied. (And I was coming out of one of the country's most prestigious and notoriousmy rigorous high schools, an Ivy feeder)which brings us to:

-Get a 1430 on the SAT. Yeah it's not amazing but it's still 98% (the year I took it), hardly "very low IQ" and my breakdown was 760 V 670M. Everyone knows math is very learnable and less about innate intellicence than the verbal but I'm very lazy and not good at math and didn't bother to learn it.

-get a 173 on the LSAT. Enough said.

-get into HLS and get a full ride + living expenses stipend to UVA, among several other T14 acceptances (again, miss me with the AA BS because my LSAT was perfectly acceptabme for any school up to and including YLS plus I was coming from freaking Yale.

Like, I know you hate me and think I'm a shitlib cunt or whatever and you're prob right I am kind of a Bitch, especiamy compared to other femame posters, who tebnd to be...softer...than the guys but just call me an ugmy hag or something because you just embarrass yourself and look like a buffoon when you try to call me stupid.

Here comes thw part where you claim I'm lying about some or all of my achievements (that numerous respected, old-timer posters have verified) or take that idiot Fish's route and sputter about me having a shitty job (as though all that matters about a job is how much it pays and having a .."low-paying" (for xo) job is proof of stupidity - there are no smart teachers, soxial workers, people in the pubMic interest sector, etc of course

So if that's what you are going to say dnot bother because you will probabl y be ignored.

To everyone eLee: I apologize in advancfor the length of this post and am aware that I come off as an arrogant Bitch. However sometimes people are just BEGGING for a spanking and you just HAVE to give it to them, you know what I mean? 😉

I knew youd think of some (lame, transparent) way to try to wiggle out of your pwnage (because there's literally nothing you can say to respond to me effectively) but I didn't even conceive of something so pathetic and lacking in good faith as the "I'm going to respond just to tell you I didn't read this" cop-out.

I am ashamed for you.

And not that it has anything to do with...anything?...but I haven't been a "junkie" in years. You're fucking obsessed with my drug use and mention it every time you speak to me (and its always YOU speaking to me because I don't find you interesting and never engage yoy. The opposite is obviously untrue (unfortunately)). At least I have friends to "rant" to, you weirdo loser.
