I 100% agree. Most of the problems minorities have are economic-based which would be solved by more school funding, especially pre-K, and education programs for parents in lower income areas of all races. Also, making community college free for everyone would encourage minorities to stay in school and pursue a college degree.
Yes, let him he who has not run up a $900 strip club tab and then bit a stripper and been forced to resign in disgrace from the federal government cast the first stone.
I'll give Trump credit he is a master level troll, at levels politicians usually don't work in.True, it's something to see someonein awe of someone's inanity.
Exactly, that's all I'm saying, or at least don't be casting the stones if you recognize that it might happen to you in the future, lie this Friday, potentially.
This really was Duke's tack in LA. About the immigration issue, let's just say there is a kernel of truth to it, that kernel being that there are some illegal immigrants who come to the US and commit heinous crimes. Ok. And let's say some people feel that is under-reported and no one in government is doing enough to address that. Ok. Now along comes Candidate X and he speaks these undeniable Truths. Oh my yes, hallelujah, glory be, the Truth has been spoken. Well after that the people who want these Truths spoken will take any other garbage, any untruths and even plain revelations of fact about this candidate's character and beliefs and disregard them because they know there is no other standard bearer because Candidate X has told them that 'without me there is no one else, I am The Cause.' And so it goes with the 'white' vote which theretofore has not been identifying itself as 'white' or anything but now they are White and they are put upon, they are being robbed and are being ripped off by wastrels who steal their money and sit on porches drinking gin and juice and that's what's making the Great State such a sh+hole.
You've got yourself backed into a nice little corner here, but there's no reason to deflect. Who cares if the bold is true or not? It has nothing to do with the plausible explanation I have given. Trump could easily be pulling off the biggest political puppet show you'll ever see. If they had offered the explanation would it really matter to you? Of course not. Now, of course, this is all deflection from the bigger point where you said it didn't matter to you that Hillary was lying because it's what is necessary to get elected.. YOU have to reconcile why you choose that approach with her comments and you choose not to take that position with Trump's.
Please be respectful. This is the worst thing that ever happened to her in her entire life, except when her dad died
I think there in that clip he is genuinely a whiny little ti++y baby and Wolf can't believe this guy is a few degrees from the White House.
That's not difficult at all. The answer is that none of Hillary's changed positions, such as being for TPP or against it, being for Keystone or against it, etc, fall into the heinous category of bigotry. If Hillary started making bigoted comments on the order of Donald Trump I would stop supporting her immediately, whether or not I thought she meant them.
Most people view racism as racism. This whole notion that reverse discrimination is not racism is you notion, and the liberal sociologists who "declared" in the 90's a new definition of racism that it could only apply to the race in power. The standard definition of racism prior to that had always been the common sense one - that racism is discrimination based on race.
That's what the newest attack ad against Trump is focusing on. Sadly I tend to think Trump saying everyone should have healthcare will raise more ire among Republicans than the one where women read sexists quotes from the Trumpster.Skoo said:
It really is something to behold. To me the biggest sign that people just like him is how willing his supporters seem to be to abandon their "conservative principles" to back him. These people went INSANE over Obamacare, but suddenly are completely on board with Universal Healthcare since Trump is for it.
I hope any strippers I may encounter this weekend have been properly cleaned and sanitized for my protection, you know, in the event I find any of their body parts inside of my oral cavity. Safety first, that's my motto.
I hate to interrupt the awesomeness of the Lewandowski assault and stripper-biting lawyer story, but no. It's not a legitimate point of discussion. The notion that we live in a post-racial America and that we should have policies that reflect it is total nonsense. Read the DOJ report on Ferguson, or any of the several longform articles that touched on how police prey on poor black communities to fund their departments. Read Coates' careful history of discrimination and familiarize yourself with things like redlining and predatory lending. Take a look at the obvious motivations behind those nonsensical voter ID laws. Or consider the Trump-led birther movement.
I don't think it will make any difference either.
We have intercepted Al Quaeda and ISIS intell that shows plans to smuggle an NBCR weapon into the US by smuggling it into Central/Douth Smerica and driving it by truck through the border. I believe we even found a Manual showing the detailed plans. Just because it didn't happen that way on 9/11 is no reason to think it won't be their preferred M.O. going forward.
This is ridiculous. Why don't you just say all conservatives (should be replaced with moderates as Trumps support doesn't come from conservatives) are racist and be done with it.
Seems like a pretty arbitrary line especially when it comes to pandering to the lowest common denominators (the bases of the parties). When it comes to bigotry, I'm not sure it matters whether it's on display via the spoken word or via one's actions. I'd like to understand why you think it does.
Yeah like even Toby, while trying to state his case there had to include a personal dig at Higgs. No ####in way you do that in real life.
I've meant to respond a couple of times with this exact explanation, but I thought it was generally assumed that this is what we we were thinking. The guy is a blow hard. He talks way way too much. When you an anti PC guy, with no experience in politics, and you talk a lot - guess what? You are going to say a few things that are totally outrageous, particularly when viewed on a stand-alone basis without any further refinement of what was meant. Here's my take, and I said it from day 1 - Trump probably meant to say that the moratorium for immigration was to be from Muslim countries where there has been a history of terrorism. The next question is, if he misrepresented that, why didn't he take it back? Great question, and one we will hopefully get an answer to some day when Trump's autobiography comes out. My guess is that the guy learned from an early age that acknowledging mistakes is a sign of weakness. He rarely does it. He won't say "I was wrong". What he may say is, "I have changed my mind", or, "I have evolved". It's one of my biggest problems with him to be honest. I think it borders on unnecessary and unhelpful hubris and hurts him way more than it helps.
Dang. I hope I don't bump into someone on the sidewalk today and get arrested.
Appreciate the readings, and I'll look at them. I'vexslready done a lot of reading and study on this though. I just think we have a difference of opinion on the depth of racism today, and what the most effective plans are to lift minorities out of the scourge of generational poverty. I think it begins and ends with empowerment and not handouts, reparations, or identity politics that create a victim mentality. And shame on my party for not presenting these empowering solutions to the minority communities better. Because it makes it look like we don't care, and I know a lot of us do.
Did he grab her arm ..yes...Did he commit battery, not proven...So for right now her claim of being battered has been made up.
The problem here isn't really the severity of the "assault." It's more about the fact that Lewandowski and Hicks clearly lied about it, with Lewandowski calling Fields "delusional," and that Trump embraced that lie. Also how it fits into the larger narrative of how the Trump campaign treats the media more generally.
I'm going to tell you what's really bonkers about this, DFS, and it's not you.
) - when Cruz just canned his guy for suggesting that Carson was dropping out and he moved right along. We've got like a million issues to talk about as a country and this is the stuff that Donald and his campaign waste time on. Meanwhile Hillary, Sanders, Cruz, and Kasich are chugging along, doing actual stuff. It's so insanely ridiculous. He just wastes time on this stuff. Just look at this thread. Half the team can't get off Square 1 because they're accused of being racist, the other half of the team is playing Jim Garrison with the man on the grassy knoll who really tugged on Fields' arm. Massive waste of time and resources.
By definition of the law grabbing someone, even touching someone without permission, is simple battery in Florida. Seems like a pretty low threshold to me but it is what it is. There were supposedly individual finger bruise marks on her arm as evidence as well.
Being arrested and convicted are two different things......You know innocent until proven guilty...
I don't understand his whole Megyn Kelly thing. Never have.I'm going to tell you what's really bonkers about this, DFS, and it's not you.
Donald and his minions are currently making montages of that new security footage to DEFINITIVELY PROVE Fields is a crazy lying trollop. Same thing is going on with Amanda Carpenter.
But let's skip the facts and details.
Hillary was probably facing at least the legitimate accusation that she or one of hers would be arrested or indicted or (more likely) should have been. Now instead it's Donald who has had his actual campaign manager actually you know arrested. What is he going to do now, talk about illegality and the tolerance of it? Donald is obsessed with this issue - and Megyn Kelly and how he personally is treated (
I hate to do it but Tobias you're going on ignore for what i hope is a troll.
