40 acres of the vast grasslands in Wyoming is a better plan.

Edwards entered the race against him, and she is black,
so he has to double down on black to try to beat her in PG county.

I do miss Connie Morella.

No one said it would be nice Iowa or North Carolina farmland. Hey, don’t we own Liberia?

Wyoming does not want to be invaded by a bunch of grifters. Conquer north Mexico and let them his steer there. There is plenty of space there.

I’ve only lived here 6 years. Who’s Connie?

I moved to MD from MI when that nasty bag Jennifer Granholm was Governess. She ran on a platform of “I’m female and not ugly. Vote for me “

Sadly the demented class in Michigan elected her sorry tax and spend carcass twice. Her policies destroyed the state. As I recall, she squandered the $2,000,000,000 rainy day fund her republican predecessor left her in about a year. Her and Obama are the main reasons I will never consider gracing a Democrat with my vote again.

Yes, set the precedent that ancestors, hence family members, can be held accountable for past crimes of others.

This is like the old english concept of “tainted blood”. Someone commits a crime, the family can be held accountable.

So, for example, when someone like the “gentle giant” gets mowed down by police in the commission of a crime, the officer and store owner (who was previously shoplifted) can get reparations from anyone related to him.

I personally want to thank Mr. Hollen for donating his annual salary, assets and personal property to pay these reparations. I think EVERY Senator and Congress critter, regardless of race, be FORCED to pay the same amount as well as their staff. After that, then and only then, should money from the general fund.

What an a$$hat.

My family donated a body and a leg to the cause. Doesn’t that give me a credit on the reparations?

I know, right?

Amazing.

That carnage (paid in blood) atoned for the sin of slavery in our nation.

In the 150+ years since, the sins of American blacks through fornication, drug use, theft, murder, violence are on their heads alone. Moreover, the Trillions given in the form of welfare alone has paid them off in the cash they so desperately lust after.

The day, slavery reparations are paid, will be the exact day of the taxpayer revolt.

I don't think they will want that.

There were thousands of blacks who owned slaves. Three thousand in New Orleans alone. Do their descendants pay?
