    Ivanka trump, fake politician and sweat shop enthusiast

    Her stepmom is a former Soviet prostitute. That's how King Donald met her.

    Ivanka trump, fake politician and sweat shop enthusiast

    And his cultists could care less. In fact, if any of them ever thinks about it, they'd probably agree that Ivanka should exploit Chinese kids because it demonstrates white supremacy.

    Are women more likely to condemn weed smoking than are males?

    So I read all the replies in addition to the OP, and not once did any male claim that they were experts on women. In fact, the OP asks a question about women, and so implicit in the question is that the male doesn't understand something about women is asking for clarification or explanation...

    Best takedown of Gen'rul Lee that I've seen

    The Mexican War and the territory the U.S. acquired as a result is what pushed the states to fisticuffs by 1861. The Mexican War precipitated the fall of the Whigs and the formation of the Republican Party--the territory acquired because of that conflict and what to do with that territory...

    Best takedown of Gen'rul Lee that I've seen

    If the American Civil War was not about slavery, then how do you account for several of the seceeding states' declarations of secession that clearly stated the desire to protect slavery was the reason for their departure from the union? If the Civil War was not about slavery, then why did the...

    Political science experiment: Can politics be discussed without resorting to personal attacks?

    Free public college would not strengthen higher education, even though I'm favor of greatly reduced tuition payments--to where they were in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when one could really indeed work their way through college. I think that free college in its current state would degenerate...

    Best takedown of Gen'rul Lee that I've seen

    Yes, pun intended. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/lee-national-review/529206/ Quotable: "The myths both about Lee and the Confederacy, his supposed hatred of slavery, his non-ownership of slaves, and his conduct during the war and his reasons for fighting it, are all...

    Political science experiment: Can politics be discussed without resorting to personal attacks?

    http://theusconstitution.org/text-history/1621/yes-there-right-vote-constitution It would be do-able only with a Constitutional amendment. States, in the not-so-distant past, used an "educational test" -- among other nefarious means -- to deny blacks and Latinos the right to vote. What would...

    Political science experiment: Can politics be discussed without resorting to personal attacks?

    I oppose capital punishment because if it's the law of the land that murder is illegal, then the state should likewise not have that right if the state is "of the people, by the people..." Moreover, rotting in prison is far, far worse a punishment for really bad crimes than killing the...

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz is stupid

    We need to retake the House and Senate in 2018, and the mid-terms must be framed as a referendum on the el presidente.

    Rural America is the new "inner city"

    When did I address felons' voting rights or lack thereof? Of course, I believe that once somebody has paid their debt to society, then they should get all of their rights back.

    Rural America is the new "inner city"

    My work is my work and I put together my team, which includes several people in development. Development means fund raising. My organization, created in 2007 and finally got off the ground by 2010, is funded through donations from private organizations. The Ford Foundation, for example, is one...

    Rural America is the new "inner city"

    Well this is a conundrum because the so-called poor white trash of North Louisiana usually have a gaggle of kids whereever they go. Way too many pregnant methheads in this area, who are feeding slots at convenience store casinos.

    Rural America is the new "inner city"

    I will be soon. What I do is I set up prison outreach services to be staffed by the local community. After training is done here in wonderful Louisiana, I get to go live in Huntsville, TX for two years. Funny thing is that most of America's prisons are in very rural areas, so I'm doomed to live...

    Rural America is the new "inner city"

    In Louisiana, just like in neighboring Arkansas and Mississippi, the political will leans toward defunding education altogether and moving toward a private, parochial, homeschool, and charter system. Ever since May 17, 1954, southern political leaders (conservative democrats back in the day...

    Debating with a Trumper part three

    Ok. What does "great" mean in this context? What was it about America in the past that was "great"? And, finally, how do we measure "greatness"?

    http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/05/26/rural-america-is-new-inner-city-2.html I used the fox business site because the Wall Street Journal requires a subscription to read their shit. Fox business news reprinted the article, linked above. I currently live in rural America and have since...
