So why isnt Trump talking about them?

Pretty sure that the police force in Ferguson was predominantly white and was shown to treat black people much different that white people... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/02/us/justice-department-report-to-fault-police-in-ferguson.html?_r=0 Pretty sure your position is off...at the least....

Payback for what? The hot mess of 2016 with all the gays married and T people peeing who knows where and none of our troops coming home in boxes and a relatively good economy or the hot mess of 2008 where we were in 2 unfounded wars, our economy was in free fall, unemployment was 10 percent plus, the auto industry was bankrupt? Payback for millions LESS iillegal immagrants than the Bush years, a lower yearly deficit? You say it is not rational....do you mean that this "payback" is an unfounded concept?

No the Trump phenomenon is a result of the hot mess that is the GOP

proof of idiocy...well done

And yet he got the nomination...pretty much showing that there does not exist an organized GOP right now...not sure T campaign is based on racism...but it is ludicrous

Whelp - Seeing as the nature of this thread is that the messengers of the Theory of Global Warming are wrong - not because of the maths - but because they are not credible because they are self serving money grabbers and they want government to take over and redistribute wealth....and to augment this "discredit the messenger" positon that this thread is built on...the poster augments it with an article that is not written by scientists or experts in the field...but by lawyers... So there is that....

Article written by a bunch of lawyers for the American Enterprise Institute?

So - Since Hillary's husband was a !@#...the saws off Donald's past with women, divorces, misogynistic comments? Gotcha

DooD....NO ONE is saying this - only the conservatives who are projecting.....carry on......

1. So you are against local rule huh? 2. This has nothing to do with integrated bathrooms. 3. Chances are - T people have been going to whatever bathroom unnoticed for years - can you cite a complaint? Ever? Kinda like voter fraud.... Prejudice - I have prejudged? Let's see - state with history of slavery and bigotry against rights of blacks, gays and trans people.... Nah...pretty sure its just a bunch of angry white bible thumpers clinging and trying to pick a last fight.....with someone they see as less perfect than themselves....how historical....

Likening a spat over biologically segregated boy/girl bathrooms to the genuine, violent, systematic, state-sponsored, society-wide bigotry that took place in this country for a century is both intellectually and morally corrupt. It’s not all a continuum. Yet this administration peddles these kinds of risible comparisons in the cause of self-aggrandizement all the time. Hans Fiene has coined it Selma envy. . Puhlease - This law was nothing more than a bunch of people whose time has past grasping at the last straw...and now loving that the Feds got involved...and if you and your conservative beat writers don't see it as much you are simply blind...

Nothing adds credibility and depth to a point of view better than the confederate flag

GDP growth will reflect the income gains from the middle class - almost exactly. The 2000-2006 boom was based largely on the middle class over leveraging to compensate for lack of wage growth. At this point any upticks in GDP from "trickle down" are done. The well off have everything they need - other than driving up the price of collector cars. Money has collected at banks, corporations and real estate in a holding pattern - very few good places to invest in barring demand growth.

You should switch to a different yet as completely unbelievable website that carries good news....

FWIW - Somewhat distant family member scout for NFL team - saw him last week - HATES Lynch

Damn...does it hurt to wake up every morning and look for the worst in everything, every person, every action, every outcome?

Reagan got the hell outta there is what he did....

^^this^^

That is the conversation right there....are you more concerned with policies that produce the optimized result or policies borne of idealism?

Historically - we are...

Ok - Where are the metrics that the middle class is better off after all this? I base the success of a country on how its middle class is doing - and for that - they have stalled/slid backwards since Reagan. The fight against same sex marriage/deregulation/lowering taxes for the well off/fighting unfunded wars/citizens united/checking ID at the voting booth....has resulted in .....what? What metric is better?

Gosh just off the top of my head As long as your bashing liberalism - what has "conservatism" brought us since the Reagan revolution? Cut taxes for high earners (Bush and Reagan cuts reduced taxes on all income brackets) Has this made the middle class more well off? Lowered union power (yes and many feel not enough) - And this has accomplished what now that it is done? NAFTA (signed by Clinton, bipartisan approval) - Yes - but it is a "conservative" proposal Clinton - like his wife - does what is politically expedient - and again - is it an unqualified success? Fought SSM (I agree that repubs should approve this) - Well conservatism lost that war - and at the end of the day - did it hurt our country - and if so how? Change your life? Unfunded wars in the ME (funded the same we we funded the stimulus bill and many other trillions in spending, but iraq II was wrong) So you agree that it was wrong? Voter ID laws (yes we need voter ID laws to make sure the right of voters is being correctly carried out) OK - now that voter ID laws are in effect - this has done what exactly? Since there was really no voter fraud to begin with - all it really was - and is is an effort to disenfranchise voting - which - in my mind - not very conservative Gun rights (yup, a constitutional right) A win for conservatism - i am not a gun owner - used to be - so didn't make my life better Citizens United (both parties abuse campaign funds) Not saying that "both sides" use funds - Is our election process better and more democratic because of this ruling?...i give you the 2016 POTUS election Fought environmental conservatism (?) Conservatives fight it - do their wins in this arena make our country better - how? Lower regulation for the financial industry (Did you miss the warnings given to dems by repubs in the house regarding fannie/freddie/mortgage securities risk?) Debating the platform - deregulation is a conservative concept...did financial deregulation make our country better and improve our lives?
