It never ceases to amaze me how little the two of you think of your country and of your fellow Americans.

I can rhyme off quite a few American politicians who have demonstrated over the course of my lifetime how politics can be a very honourable profession.

You know, that reminds of a fundamental problem with Americans - they are cynical to the extreme, all the time, no matter what. That is a very dangerous slippery slope, the consequences of which we are witnessing today.

heh

Well said.. :D

that was my thought as well, though the way the question was phrased sent my mind back to ancient greece.

Since when has "politician" ever BEEN an honorable profession??

But I agree that Trump doesn't fit the definition of politician...

Michale
592

Not at all.. I am simply pointing out your hypocrisy..

And you avoid that, as you always do...

The truth re: PP is that the video is a fraud

And yet, PP changed their policies due to the video..

Obama ordered an audit of PP due to the video..

You have your "truth" and that's fine..

But the FACTS clearly show that the video is not a fraud..

With respect to Black Lives Matter you are just an unmitigated ass.

Perhaps.. But that doesn't change the fact that Black Lives Matter is a lie..

I am off to do holiday things. When you play Santa for your grandchildren think hard about what it means to be an example, and what you wish to be an example of.

Honesty and integrity..

Happy Holidays.

And to you and yours as well.. :D

Michale
591

When did the deciding factor as to who is the best politician become the person who gets the most attention?

I guess the answer is about the time that politician ceased to be known as an honourable profession.

With respect to Black Lives Matter you are just an unmitigated ass.

I am off to do holiday things. When you play Santa for your grandchildren think hard about what it means to be an example, and what you wish to be an example of.

Happy Holidays.

Did you complain about THOSE underhanded tactics?

No you did not...

So, as I said, I can't get all excited about your indignation over the Right Wingery's tactics when you constantly give the Left Wingery a pass for the exact same tactics...

Michale
589

Au contraire...

I admit to the wrongness of BOTH sides' tactics..

You only admit to the wrongness of the Right Wingery's tactics..

You -- as always -- assert "the left" is just as guilty without ever providing support for such statements.

Uh... I just did..

"White Hispanic"...

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot"...

"I can't breathe:...

But what you're really doing is evading responsibility for your own thinking.

Actually, that is you who do that..

You refuse to accept that the Left pushes their agenda as nastily, as wrongly and as dishonestly as the Right pushes THEIR agenda...

Michale
588

"Basically, you are bitching and moaning about tactics the Right Wingery uses…"

You admit to the tactics but don't want to admit to their wrongness. The "both sides do it" dodge is an attempt to avoid dealing with the unacceptability of the dishonesty, and the wholesale embrace of that dishonesty by so many conservatives (and the associated implications).

You -- as always -- assert "the left" is just as guilty without ever providing support for such statements. But what you're really doing is evading responsibility for your own thinking.

This is an undeniable fact...

Michale
586

"OH MY GOD, WHAT A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!"
-Marisa Tomeii, MY COUSIN VINNY

Of course, the Left Wingery would NEVER stoop to such underhanded tactics, right??

{{cough}} {{cough}} white hispanic {{cough}} Hands Up, Don't Shoot {{cough}}

Basically, you are bitching and moaning about tactics the Right Wingery uses...

But you support to the hilt the EXACT same tactics when the Left Wingery uses them...

Ergo, I really can't get too bent out of shape over the tactics....

Michale
585

Racist Hate Group is at it again...

Michale
584

That's an opinion...

That it was a distortion I mean..

What I saw was pretty gross...

followed by an attempt to divert the argument to the Cruz cartoon (change the subject) followed by another attempted deflection from the PP Video's distortions by throwing up a comparison between Animal Testing and Fetal Tissue research.

So, you are slamming me for being all over the board??

Hi, I am Michale.. Nice ta meetcha...

You don't want to admit the PP video is nothing more than a fabricated hit-piece but that's what it is.

Because it isn't... It's no more a "fabricated hit piece" than the cop shooting video's that the Left Wingery likes to scream hysterically about...

But THOSE are valid, right?? :D

Michale
583

You don't want to admit the PP video is nothing more than a fabricated hit-piece but that's what it is. You don't want to admit it because if you do you would have to give some thought to the implications. What does it mean: that a group would do such a thing? That a group would confidently expect to get away with such a thing? That so many conservative institutions and powerful individuals would either embrace it or, at minimum, refuse to acknowledge the fundamental dishonesty in it? That so many people would immediately accept it's validity?

Of course you don't have to give it any thought -- you can just change the subject and attempt to get me on the defensive. It's up to you.

My idiotic prick-ness is showing again.. :D

heh

Michale
581

What confuses me is that we are talking about a group (The Left Wingery) that goes batshit hysterical crazy over animal testing..

Yet this exact same group is so blase and accepting of harvesting aborted babies for organs and tissue..

You can see why such diametrically opposed attitudes would be confusing...

At least, it is to those not dominated by political ideology..

Michale
580

Classy, Left Wingers..

REAL classy....

I guess kids are off limits only with Democrats... :^/

Imagine the uproar if a Right Winger had drawn this cartoon with Obama's daughters..

Double standards much??

Michale
579

Read that statement back to yourself..

What kind of society do we live in where people can say "legally sold fetal tissue" and be perfectly OK with it..

THAT's the point..

Michale
577

The slur is that the video pretends people at PP deliver viable fetuses from women, kills them (by callously leaving them on cold tables until they die) and sells them (no doubt rubbing their hands together in remorseless glee -- all they needed was Snidely Whiplash). That is the picture being drawn by the fraudulent video and that is what you are being lead to react to.

If you don't like fetus tissue being used for research, that is an issue you can have views on. If you don't like payment for the fetal tissue you can you can try to have it stopped. You don't have to make things up; you don't have to target women's clinics; you don't have to harass or do violence to women who use PP or people who work at them.

The video inspires violence -- it is wicked. Morality is not served by deception or incitement to harm.

The series of videos included interviews with people who actually worked at PP...

How is that "fraud"??

Your grandchildren, however cherished, are irrelevant.

I would disagree...

. You would be of greater value to them, however, if you could learn how to evaluate competing arguments, especially emotional arguments, and make an effort to separate facts from feelings.

The facts are that PP sold fetal organs and fetal tissue..

Do you deny these facts??

Michale
573

The video tape is a fraud and every time you use it to make your false point you are perpetrating a fraud.

Your grandchildren, however cherished, are irrelevant. You would be of greater value to them, however, if you could learn how to evaluate competing arguments, especially emotional arguments, and make an effort to separate facts from feelings.

Actually, the fact that it got you to respond would surely indicate that the point WAS made...

and a hyperbolic emotional appeal that relies on a fantasy of wrongdoing created by people like you who can't win on the facts.

The facts were clear in the videos and by the spoken word of those who were video taped..

Anti-choicers believe they have a moral argument.

They DO have a moral argument... That is a fact..

Their problem is that more people don't agree with their position than do.

That's an opinion, unsupported by facts..

The fact that the Obama Administration has bowed to public pressure and ordered this audit proves that you are wrong..

Michale
572

I don't have a dog in the abortion fight... I think BOTH sides of the issue are whacked out...

But maybe it's because I am alone amongst Weigantians in that I deal with babies on a daily basis, having two wonderful grandkids still in diapers. One 3 months, one 24 months..

And I see those videos and I simply cannot help but be utterly and completely REPULSED by what I see...

I can't imagine how ANY human being cannot feel the same listening to these baby butchers revel in their actions and talking about making enough off of baby parts to get a new Lamborghini....

It's unfathomable to me that anyone can say, "Ahh, that's no big deal..."

Michale
571

Anti-choicers believe they have a moral argument. Their problem is that more people don't agree with their position than do. That makes it hard for them to "win" on the merits of their position BUT they only compromise their integrity by stooping to lies to try to get their way.

Yea... And Obama "welcomed the public debate on domestic surveillance".. :^/

Remember, I was born AT night..

Not LAST night..

Would this audit have come about if the baby ripping hadn't been exposed??

No..

Would this audit have come about if there was nothing untoward??

No..

Maybe legally PP is in the clear.. MAYBE..

Ethically?? MORALLY???

How can ANYONE look at the cavalier way that these blood suckers are discussing bartering baby parts for Lamborghinis and NOT come away sick and disgusted??

Michale
570

This is a look at Fetal Tissue research -- certainly inspired by the Planned Parenthood smear and the energy with which anti-choicers will embrace any lie that supports their position -- but it is not a proof of wrongdoing by PP. Indeed, further down you might have read: "For its part, Planned Parenthood welcomed the “timely” audit, saying it has been asking NIH since July to create an independent panel to conduct the first examination of fetal tissue-research standards since the Reagan administration."

But why go to the trouble of reading and comprehending when a misleading headline published in a rightwing rage appears to bolster a cherished lie?

So...

Nothing to those videos, eh??

They were all just a big lie, right???

Apparently... NOT....

Michale
569

Like it or not, people..

The United States is a pro-gun country...

Michale
568

How can ya'all support a group that chants:

"What do we want!!?? DEAD COPS!!!
When do we want them!!??? NOW!!!"

and

"Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em up like bacon!!"

Support such a group doesn't really lend itself to credible perspectives, don't you agree??

Michale
563

How exactly is it nonsense??

Each statement singles out a group of people for mass execution....

How are those two statements any different??

Answer: They're not..

Michale

More nonsense and a perfect distillation of your inability to see beyond your own nose.

There already IS "responsible ownership"... On a NATIONWIDE scale...

The problem is, for the vast majority of the Left Wingery, the definition of "responsible ownership" is not owning any guns at all..

And THAT is the ultimate goal of the Left Wingery's gun control efforts..

Which is why, whenever there is a crowd-based mass shooting, the Left comes up with WOULDN'T IT BE NICE law ideas that do NOTHING to prevent or help prevent the incidents that caused the push...

A horrible shooting at a Charleston Church.. The Left Wingery's response??

LET'S BAN A HISTORICAL BATTLE FLAG!!!

Using a shooting tragedy to push an unpopular and completely useless agenda..

THAT's the Left Wingery...

Just like his London/Muslim comment....

Michale
559

Michale
558

It will not work for the stated goal of preventing crowd based mass shootings and terrorist attacks..

Which is the stated goal of the effort..

So replace Nukes with Bazookas, and explain why it would be a good idea for everybody to be allowed to keep a bazooka in their trunk?

It wouldn't...

But comparing a anti-tank weapon to a long rifle or a handgun is argument Reductio ad absurdum..

Gun owners are acceptable of REASONABLE restrictions..

This has been proven beyond ANY doubt...

But REASONABLE restrictions have run out.. Gun Control fanatics have shot their wad on REASONABLE restrictions...

But, of course, the Gun Control nuts want more...

Which simply shows that Gun Control nuts are for a gun ban... That is the ONLY thing that will satisfy them..

Michale
557

"In Colonial times "arms" usually meant weapons that could be carried. This included knives, swords, rifles and pistols. Dictionaries of the time had a separate definition for "ordinance" (as it was spelled then) meaning cannon." (source: http://www.guncite.com/gc2ndmea.html)

So replace Nukes with Bazookas, and explain why it would be a good idea for everybody to be allowed to keep a bazooka in their trunk?

NONE of which would prevent CBMSs or terrorist attacks...

The only thing that all that would accomplish is to make gun ownership extremely onerous so as to reduce the number of gun owners.

Which is EXACTLY the goal of the Left Wingery..

But hay... If you make voting as onerous as gun ownership, I'll play ball.. :D

Michale
556

Owning a gun is a constitutional right..

Owning a car is not..

I was merely talking about saving lives..

If you want to go on about treating constitutional rights equally, then it makes sense to treat gun ownership and voting equally..

I am fine with requiring registration, insurance, a license and training for voting..

Or how about this, if guns and cars are simply benign objects,

IF guns and cars are benign objects??

It's a fact that they are...

what about atomic bombs - why can't everybody who wants have their own nuke?

Because bombs and grenades and cruise missiles are not firearms. They are ordinance and not covered by the 2nd Amendment..

Michale
555

Not sure if you like that part of your analogy?

Or how about this, if guns and cars are simply benign objects, what about atomic bombs - why can't everybody who wants have their own nuke? What could possible go wrong - it isn't like a disgruntled nut job is going to set one off?

Blaming an inanimate object for the actions it's owner...

Completely and utter ridiculous...

"It's redonkulus!!!"
-Donkey, SHRECK IV

:D

Like I have always said... When a gun walks into a crowd of it's own volition and makes the conscious and sentient decision to shoot people...

Then... and ONLY then... will gun control fanatics have a legitimate argument..

Speaking of cars...

Interesting factoid.. There is only ONE vehicle that you CANNOT be arrested for driving drunk..

Can anyone name it??

Michale
554

We MUST ban cars!!!!!

Tens of thousands are killed by cars every year!!!

BAN CARS!!! BAN CARS!!!

Especially ASSAULT CARS!!!!

No body has ANY reason to own a car that can go above 10mph... You just have to allocate more time to get where you are going..

BAN CARS!!! BAN CARS!!!

Michale

We MUST ban cars!!!!! Tens of thousands are killed by cars every year!!!

Heh :D

Michale
552

You just have to know that BLM was saying amongst themselves "Well, that's a start"..

Anyone wanna tell me again how honorable and good the BLM racist hate group is???

I seem to have forgotten what with all the evidence and facts to the contrary... :^/

Michale
551

Look at the group you are defending...

"WHAT DO WE WANT!?? DEAD COPS!!!"
"WHEN DO WE WANT THEM!!?? NOW!!!"

THAT is the group you are defending??

Seriously!???

What would you say about a WHITE LIVES MATTER group who chants:

"WHAT DO WE WANT!?? DEAD BLACK PEOPLE!!!"
"WHEN DO WE WANT THEM!!?? NOW!!!"

We both know what you would say about that.

Michale
550

No, my basic problem is that the group is a racist hate group..

The fact that their group name is a lie and that the lie is sucked in (and sucked up to) by the Left Wingery is merely annoying..

The fact that you can't address the former leads me to conclude that you agree on that part...

Michale
549

So your basic problem is you don't like the name BLM have chosen?

Well boo-hoo ;)

Just like "Hands Up Don't Shoot" and "I Can't Breathe"...

The BLM group has chosen to address cops shooting/killing black people..

OK, fine.. It's not an issue by ANY stretch of ANY possible statistic, but if a group wants to protest that, more power to them..

Just don't call it "Black Lives Matter"...

Because, on a cosmic scale of black lives, getting killed by cops is way way way way WAY down there on the list of importance...

The *ONLY* reason this aspect is exploited is solely and completely due to the political aspect...

Michale
548

Sorry..

Do you have ANY facts or evidence of THAT group protesting the black ON black violence or black abortions???

Michale
547

But you miss the point...

We're not talking about black groups..

We're talking SPECIFICALLY about the Black Lives Matter group..

Do you have ANY facts or evidence of THAT group protesting the black and black violence or black abortions???

No, you do not...

Ergo, the Movement's name is a lie..

Because, to them, black lives DON'T "matter" unless the group can use black deaths to push a racist political agenda...

Michale
546

Fine... prove it..

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/04/why-dont-black-people-protest-black-on-black-violence/255329/

Do you have anything that is contemporary with the BLM movement???

Nope...

Michale
545

You may not have noticed black protests against crime and violence, but that doesn’t mean they aren't happening. Black Americans, like everyone else, are concerned with what happens in their communities, and the pundits who insist otherwise are either lying to you or willfully ignorant.

An 'Atlantic' article from 2012 (source below) listed a small sample.

Fox News is VERY concerned with Black Lives Matter protests however, and goes out of the way to paint them in the poorest light possible. That part you seem to be aware of.

Have you ever felt you are being played by the media like a 2-bit kazoo? That the media is showing you what they want you to see and giving you only the facts that lead you 1. 2. 3. down their chosen decision process so you come to the conclusion that want you too?

You are not alone, however the Internet is an amazing tool, and usually with less than an hour of research you can find different sides of an issue, then find and read the raw source materials and facts to make your own mind up.

Source:

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/04/why-dont-black-people-protest-black-on-black-violence/255329/

Let me put it in a context that ya'all can completely relate to...

Claiming that "police corruption and systemic abuse seems to be pretty widespread" is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than claiming "black people's violence and systemic criminal behavior seems to be pretty widespread"

NO.... DIFFERENCE... WHATSOEVER.....

So.....

If ya'all want to concede the latter, I'll be happy to discuss the former...

Anyone??? Anyone??? Beuhler???

Michale
544

how about the fact that you include abortions under the heading of "black deaths," when aborted fetuses are legally not even people. that's not so much a logical flaw as basing one's logic on untrue axioms, but it still falls under the G.I.G.O. heading.

JL

Michale (29): stop being such a completely idiotic prick.

Hay... I gotta be me!! :D

Michale
543

If Black Lives Matter is such a legitimate activist group, why do we ONLY hear from them when a cop kills a black person??

A cop killing a black person accounts for .08% of black deaths...

.08%

Meanwhile, black abortions and black on black violence accounts for OVER 99% of black deaths...

99%

We don't hear a PEEP from BLM over THOSE issues..

The ONLY logical conclusion we can garner from these FACTS is that, for BLM, black lives don't really "matter"...

Pushing a racist agenda and fomenting racial strife is the ONLY raison d'être for the Black Lives Matter hate group..

If there is a flaw in my logic, by all means...

Point it out...

Michale
542

: if Trump is not willing to put his financial and commercial assets into blind trust, the diplomatic and legislative conflicts of interest seem insurmountable.

IF

What has Trump said about this??

Did Hillary put anything in a "blind trust" when she was a Senator or SecState??

Michale
541

Because there is absolutely no way that he would be able to meet the financial disclosure requirements, and, were he to somehow be elected, he would not, could not, put his empire into a blind trust. It wouldn’t work, and he is not going to liquidate everything and put it into Treasuries, or an index fund.

Now the article gets rather hyperbolic (RS is no friend of Mr. Trump), but the fundamental question remains: if Trump is not willing to put his financial and commercial assets into blind trust, the diplomatic and legislative conflicts of interest seem insurmountable.

This seems almost as big of a question of whether a candidate is a natural-born citizen.

I'd like to see that question come up in a debate.

Ride along on an inner city patrol.... Leave your comfort zone and see what the life of a police officer is like..

Barring that, read the book SIGNAL ZERO...

If you approach either honestly, you will get an idea of what cops face EVERY minute of EVERY day...

Michale
540

Except.... it's not...

But why let little things like FACTS get in the way of hysterical fear-mongering...

Police in this country make MILLIONS of arrests every week..

And a tiny tiny TINY fraction result in death or injury of scumbags..

Out of that tiny tiny TINY fraction a tiny tiny tiny TINY fraction of those are controversial....

And out of THAT tiny tiny TINY fraction of a tiny tiny tiny TINY fraction, a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny TINY fraction are unjustified...

"Widespread"???

Yea... Right...

Michale
539

How brave of her.. {/sarcasm}

"Party Uber Alles"

Michale
538

Just the facts, ma'am... Just the facts..

If there was a group of white people espousing violence and such and were holding signs that said WHITE POWER...

You would sure as hell label that group a racist hate group..

Why is it any different if it's a group of black people??

Hmmmmm???

Michale
537

My view re: Rahm is that he found out (or found out more). once elected, about the kind of shit that's been going down in Chicago, apparently for years. He was then faced with a choice about what to do and he chose the politically expedient course. He should step down but he should also come clean. He's not the only politician in America facing these kinds of choices -- Police corruption and systemic abuse seems to be pretty widespread and hasn't been dealt with very well in most places. Such situations thrive because so many people stay quiet, look the other way, or are terrorized/threatened into silence. I think genuine courage is required and Rahm could go a long way towards redemption if he lead/participated in rooting this crap out. But there has to be sunlight, starting with him.

Friendship goes both ways -- if this is going to get hung around Hillary's neck Rahm needs to step up. I think it is a really tough call when personal loyalties are at stake. We will see what happens as things progress.

Don't forget to include that Hillary supports Rahm completely, unequivocally and 1000%... :D

Yea, I am a presumptuous little shit.. :D

Michale
536....

Black Lives Matter is a PROVEN racist hate group...

You don't do yourself any favors by holding those scumbags up as an example..

Michale
535

Actually he does..

When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically.

Legal immigrants don't "beat us economically"...

Only ILLEGAL immigrants do that..

I realize that it's imperative for the Left to make the argument about LEGAL immigrants..

But the argument is, always has been and always WILL be about ILLEGAL immigrants..

Criminals...

Here's the transcript:

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/06/16/donald-trump-transcript-our-country-needs-a-truly-great-leader/

You'll note Trump doesn't qualify his statement with the word "illegal" anywhere.

Paula -

Good point about Rahm. Maybe I can work him in somewhere next week...

-CW

ABA's are also the loudest Muslim-bashers, encouraging hate crimes against Muslims (which have, I believe, tripled this year). So another loser is the notion that racism is all over now.

You DO realize that "muslim" is a religion and not a race, right???

But you, inadvertently I am sure :D, prove my point about the Left Wingery and false claims of racism..

Democrats want to make EVERYTHING racism.. Even though every issue they champion has NOTHING to do with race..

This is simply one more example of that...

Michale
533

So, it's your claim that a person is a "rapist" BEFORE they have committed a rape??

Well, I guess if people are born gay, they can be born rapists..

That makes sense.. At least from a Democrat's perspective, I spose.. :D

Michale
532

As I said, that's not the question..

You claim that Democrats are ALL about "science"..

I have PROVEN that Democrats are ONLY about the "science" that supports their agenda..

YOU still haven't addressed the FACT that "scientists" who promote the Global Warming religion want to PROSECUTE and INCARCERATE those real scientists who dissent..

I don't blame you.. I wouldn't want to address an issue that so totally decimates my agenda.. :D

Michale
531

But Rahm is a Democrat!!!

And he has the COMPLETE and UNEQUIVOCAL SUPPORT of Hillary Clinton...

So, there seems to be some incongruity here.. :D

Michale
530

1. Still no list of mainstream scientific theories (like evolution, the age of the planet of global warming) that any of the Democratic nominees deny (since you claimed that there were hundreds and I'm only asking for one)?

2. How can a rapist in Mexico be an illegal immigrant? Is a Mexican visiting this country on a legal visa waiver an illegal immigrant? Thus if you accept The Donald's fearmongering about the 'rapists being sent' to the U.S., they are not illegal immigrants until a later time.

Let's hope there are no more terrorist attacks for the next year. This may be wishful thinking, but if it comes to pass, The Donald's hysteria over Islam will get a bit long in the tooth.

Thus I predict that China is going to become Donald's new boogie man to scare the fearful.

The reason is due to the Fed's recent rise in interest rates. The Yuan is pegged to the dollar, and the dollar has been on a tear recently, pulling the Yuan to an unsustainable high against most other currencies. Beijing has spend 1/2 trillion dollars of its reserves on currency support already, but that can't be expected to continue indefinitely (they are down from $4T to $3.5T so far).

The Chinese government are not stupid, and they know that if/when they respond to the market pressures The Donald and the Republicans are going to go into a 'currency manipulation' fear frenzy.

Personally I think this is going to be a 'when', so the timing will be interesting.

If they keep propping up the Yuan for 8-9 more months, at a cost of another 1/2 trillion US$, they may be able to create a large gap between the official and market value of the Yuan, and then let it suddenly drop an eyepopping amount in September/October. This would undoubtedly be a huge 'fear-factor' boon for the Republicans just before the election.

If the Chinese adopt a policy of slowly letting the air out of the Yuan, the first adjustment will be met with howls, but after that it will be old news and when the fearful discover it makes no difference to them, they will thirst for the next monster under their bed to be scared of.

Wasn't "May you live in interesting times" a Chinese curse ;)

The Planned Parenthood scam stands out to me as one of the most despicable mass-acts by repubs in a long time, and the fact that repubs around the country are still actively trying to destroy women's access to reproductive care...Yep, Biggest Lie.

I like John Kerry as the Best Comeback.

Biggest Loser could also be the Grilling of Hillary by the hapless Benghazi Committee -- what a sad spectacle by the inquisitors and what a great performance by Hillary!

I'm not sure where these would fit, but a "worst" was the discovery of Homen Square in Chicago and another "worst" would be Rahm Emmanuel's response to the horrors of the Chicago PD. In this last year we have learned that many PDs across the country are corrupt and sadistic on multiple levels, and are enabled by other institutions and individuals. Sadly we have also learned just how nasty and racist many Americans are as we see the responses to the Black Lives Matter movement by America's Biggest Asswipes. ABA's are also the loudest Muslim-bashers, encouraging hate crimes against Muslims (which have, I believe, tripled this year). So another loser is the notion that racism is all over now.

How about "Greatest Contrast?" which would be the Repub Clown Car versus the Dem field.

That's an opinion unsupported by facts...

Ya'all HAVE to make the argument about immigrants...

Because, when we're talking ILLEGAL immigrants... Ya'all HAVE no argument.. :D

Trump's 'understanding' is that Mexico actively picks people to send to America, and chooses the worst to do so (like when Cuba opened their jails and asylums during the Mariel boatlift). This was offered with absolutely no proof of course (when does that bother The Donald and his acolytes hem-hem).

At this point they are Mexicans, but not illegal immigrants, they are only illegal immigrants when they either cross the border illegally, or overstay their tourist period in the U.S.

This Chris is right - The Donald is talking about Mexicans, not illegal immigrants.

Not that it really matters of course - it is all a big lie designed to rile up the perpetually angry.

Donald Trump - simple solutions to complex problems for simple people.

Points for the Princess Bride reference, although it's about Trump whereas the Princess Bride news was about Cruz.

Just because Republicans do it, that doesn't make it right.

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. We're not at war with Iran.

The whole idea that freedom of speech vanishes when foreign countries are involved? Ludicrous. Even before the first amendment, congresscritters' freedom of speech was guaranteed in article I section 6.

Trump supporters like the way Trump talks, not what actually comes out of his mouth.

This wild optimism is, as far as I can see, absolutely unfounded.

Good ta see ya again!! :D

Edited Videos...ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

*EVERY* video out there on the 'Net is "edited"..

**EVERY** video that the Left Wingery EVER used to attack the Right has been "edited"...

So, give it a rest..

A video that is "edited" is JUST as valid as a video that is not "edited"...

If Trump is all these things...

Why didn't we hear about it when Trump was a Democrat and showering Democrats like Senator Clinton with $$$$??

Either Trump is NOT all that bad as ya'all claim...

Or Trump's $$$ and political designation is all that matters...

Which is it?? :D

But he was talking about ILLEGAL immigrants...

That's the context of the entire issue...

But ya'all constantly and consistently overlook the "ILLEGAL" part of "immigrant bashing"..

No one.. I repeat, NO ONE has ANY problem with legal immigrants... Terrorist plants notwithstanding..

The issue has ALWAYS been **ILLEGAL** immigrants...

Criminals...

It's the distinction that makes ALL the difference..
