Hateful is also a meaningless word in this context. Sure, people on the “left” are also “hateful”.
One party is an absolute circus freak display, the other are a bunch of centrists that treat standard European nation policy as forbidden fruit, so just struggle to run to “moderate” / “middle”, which is meaningless because the republican culture is opposed to everything the democrats do

Absolutely, and somehow you managed to express the opinion without a wall of text.If anyone sees the left as being hateful in today's landscape they are just looking for a reason to feel better about voting R like they always have imo

On the flip side… Musk has said the left have run off to crazy town and the right (and he) haven’t moved at all in the past 10 years.I mean c’mon now, and I say this as a lifelong R till the past 10 years or so, started trending Libertarian then totally jumped ship except party reg once Trump came along-there’s no elected equivalent on the left to MTG, Gaetz, Bobert, and Cawthorn who praise Jesus voters had the good sense to vote out. If the current R leadership had any shame they’d be embarrassed.
I mean Q Anon alone virtually corners the loon market for the right. Saw a Q Anon bumper sticker the other day. I mean, really?

Crypto can't disappear soon enough.

MiamiCoin, the first city-themed cryptocurrency, has lost nearly all its value over the past several months amid a broader crypto market collapse, Quartz reports.
Why it matters: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez hoped that the cryptocurrency, launched last summer, would help him raise revenue and reduce income inequality — and the eyes of other mayors were on the experiment.
But the currency's value has fallen more than 90% from its September high of $0.06, per Coinbase.
"Its rapid descent has burned investors on the way down, muting the dreams of Miami’s city leaders, and possibly raising red flags for regulators now investigating cryptocurrency transactions," according to Quartz.

at the fact motorboating was in the legal complaint
https://www.wistv.com/2022/05/21/louisi ... ontent=wisA Louisiana Army National Guard officer faced 30 days of confinement, but no loss of rank after planting his face between a subordinate’s breasts.
Captain Billy Crosby Jr. was allowed to retire with benefits, according to military.com.
Crosby was the woman’s company commander in the Louisiana National Guard and was the senior officer at his post in Jordan. She was also his direct subordinate.
An exact age for Crosby was not given, but Crosby was 52 at the time of an October 2021 filing that said the woman was half his age.
The incident in question happened at Joint Training Center in Jordan in May 2021, according to military court documents. Crosby placed his face between the sergeant’s breasts, moving his face from side to side, according to the documents.
He previously told the sergeant that he wanted her to ride with him to another installation because he liked looking at her chest and previously announced twice that he was going to “motorboat” the woman during her promotion ceremony from specialist to sergeant, according to the court documents.
According to the documents, “the term ‘motorboating’ is commonly used to describe when a person places his or her face between a female’s breasts and shakes his or her head back and forth while making a sound resembling a boat motor.”
Crosby asked the woman if she wanted a promotion ceremony, which she declined, the documents read.
A day or so later, though, Crosby went into the room where the sergeant was working with another person and performed an impromptu ceremony in which he placed his face between her breasts, according to the documents.
He told her to stand up, “placed the rank in front of her chest, and leaned in to grab the rank with his teeth. (Crosby) then placed his face between (the sergeant’s) breasts. His face made contact with the middle of her chest. He vigorously moved his head from side to side between (her) breasts while still holding the rank with his teeth.”

Can confirm that once you reach your 50s you really want to motorboat a large breasted 20 something but damn you gotta keep it to yourself!

Not high if you ignore the fact that a racist said it.

I think people on the extremes can be hateful and intolerable. I think many lump the center right or center left into the whole half of the spectrum and characterize them as their extremes and it fuels the toxicity.
But when we talk about legislation, the left talks about attacking corporate society and the wealthy but don’t do anything about it because it’s lip service. Other than that, I can’t think of a group they target as enemies of the country at large. Maybe Shyster and his fellow gun owners but about the only thing they’ve even tried to bring to a vote is red flag laws.
Meanwhile, the right recently has targeted women, the poor, immigrants, and those who don’t experience sexuality the same way the Bible says to in actual legislation across the country.
This is the whole argument Mikey always gets into. The negativity and hate from individual people takes over your desire to have functioning government that helps society. I don’t want that team to win even though I like the players, because those fans are total ****-heads. Rather than focusing on how a government run by that party’s legislative agenda would actually look like.

Lol. It took 3 minutes to google the actual conversation and see that there was nothing hateful or racist. The quote of 'correct for race' just means breaking out data by different demographics to see what outliers are driving the overall number up...so you know where to focus possible solutions and resources. He then mentions a couple ideas to help drive better health outcomes for African American women, and identify and help eliminate disparities in how African Americans experience healthcare.Not high if you ignore the fact that a racist said it.
So, on the hateful scale, we'll give him a 2.5. 1 point for being Republican, so obviously racist. 1 point for being a white southern male that 'dared' to speak about true and actual disparities with regards to race... especially when it comes to health outcomes. And .5 points for wording that horribly.
For reading a Vanity Fair headline and immediately attacking him as a hateful racist? I'll let you score yourself. Feel free to take one point off for at least not saying he should eat a bullet.
