Pretty clear, with plenty of documentation To paraphrase: “If if we take kids away, it will deter others from trying to come to the US, thru asylum or other means.” Now our country has 572 kids, some as young as 1, that they have no clue how to get back to their parents. For a misdemeanor. Own it.

Eureka! In all 3700 arrests of brown ppl despite police being called equally for all ethnicities for the same “offense” this must have been the case. Prior arrests and distribution? Sample sizes are not your friend. If this offends you so, why not add the Miami PD to the discussion? “Find random black guys with a prior to assign unsolved crimes to”. Want some links? Except if you are brown. I mean, the OP asked for examples of institutionalized racism. One or two examples were provided with supporting data. Immediately the supporting data is rejected and countered with mythology. Unless...

Maybe learn to news? Says white ppl smoke at the exact same rate. What would lead you to believe “it’s probably true”? A racist institution?

To Boyst’s point, I only post on PPP when I’m hammered. I rarely/never check back when sober, although it is fun to see roaches scurry when exposed to light. While I agree that Clinton’s comment hurt her majorly (as an undecided at that point I was HUGELY turned off), LA has it wrong here. He thinks Trump getting elected “helped the right”. Yet under Trump, the deficit has grown to record numbers, bureaucracy has swollen to make sure poor people don’t get any help, and the first amendment has been grotesquely infringed upon. All things abhorrent to the right.

Buddy asleep at the wheel again!

its freaking camp. he's in his second year. WHO CARES?

What if I am sitting in between you and the Men's can? Then it wont be about going to the game and you will wish you ponied up!

Maybe - I just feel like it's never been like this. It's like being a Republican isn't what Republicans wanted as recently as 3 years ago. Strange.

A $1 trillion addition to the deficit with the tax cuts. A 40% cost vs savings growth in the bureaucracy to enforce Medicare work requirements. My republican party was based on individual rights, free markets, and limited government. What happened?

Isn't the third world already starving? ****, one in five Americans goes to bed hungry. Status quo or attempts to improve?

total entertainment. they had the chance to put real gun experts on the other day and chose david hogg and some other rating boost. Tom is right here - Hillary Clinton was/is completely unelectable. Trump, at the time, was much more preferable. The choice of Trump as a alternative to Clinton should not be overlooked.

It's well known that the planet heats and cools, who cares who's fault it is, etc? For the first time in history maybe a species can impact that change positively. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-noaa-data-show-2016-warmest-year-on-record-globally Why not try?

The latest from the White House seems to be that the President's words don't mean anything. http://theweek.com/articles/788211/president-trumps-inarticulate-defense Should a President's words be taken at face value?

Terrible signing. Bill in NYC is gonna be furious!

The NYPD. From Jan to March of 2018, the NYPD made 4,081 arrests for pot possession. 287 of those were white, although according to FBI data published on their site weed use does not differ substantially by race or ethnicity and further, people generally purchase pot from the people of the same race and or ethnicity. Additionally, arrest rates for pot possession are 4 times higher in Canarsie than they are in Greenpoint, despite police data that shows calls to report use were made by ppl in both neighborhoods at a very similar rate. The American criminal justice system. To wit, the 13th amendment: Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Well, gee, that makes a nice little incentive to convict now doesn't it?

If you mean all politicians, including the prez, then yes, you are correct sir!

Try not to make it an insult to Trump, Tiberius. That only stokes people’s emotions. Instead, focus on why this guy is employed by the White House. Are people ok with our government hiring someone who covered up abuse and assault? If so, why?

Let’s just get back to the topic at hand, which is the cover up and subsequent lying by a member of Congress about sexual abuse.

Party over county baby!

What does Obama have to do with the White House hiring a guy that was fired from Fox of all places for covering up sexual assault? Can anyone actually have a conversation about a topic anymore? Dont bite. Keep him on topic.

The gymnastics...I don't understand why anyone would choose party over country but hey you do you. Seriously with this stuff?

For all of Trump's ineptitude, his two SC picks have been rock solid. Both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh represent a hands off approach regulatorily but a willingness to consider all facts of a case before deciding. Not too shabby, considering the source.

Did no one want to talk about the fact that our nation's top law enforcement branch hired a guy that Fox News fired for covering up crimes? So glad we support the rule of law!

Why is this thread filled with left/right accusations? This thread is about sexual abuse.

Not upset at all buddy. Always appreciate the discourse we have and always respect your opinion. Your point is valid. I admit I’m intolerant on racism, but I don’t care what people think about that. I’ll never apologize for being intolerant on that front. More and more I see it being overlooked as if it’s something to be excused, like bad manners. To see it oozing out of our government just breaks my heart and I owe it to my kids to call it out where ever I see it.
