Re: Trump
Lol, racism and rape. I'll give you prostitution for sure. But racism and rape? Help me out with that one.
Let's talk about the Clintons though. You know, Bill who paid all that hush money to the many women he raped over the years. Or Hillary to this day who lets a racist comment slip every now and then.
"I know they all look alike." -Clinton on blacks, Oct. 2018

Re:Now make it a requirement that it's US-owned
Also, there is no such mentality in the progressive community to exclude whites in any way shape or form.
Do tell... That seems to be exactly how they create safe spaces and safe spaces and safe spaces and safe spaces and even safe spaces. They don't dare call it "segregation", it's just "safe spaces".
There is no white culture, but it's dominant. Okay, makes prefect sense.

Re:Electoral college does reflect the popular vote
Look, I just read the article. It points out that California's credit rating has been raised. Yet it's somehow a catastrophe?
Yes, the article mentions that before pointing out the long term problems. Here's another article about pension problems in California.
Besides, _not_ borrowing when you can invest it profitably is stupid. Just ask the president-elect - he's built his empire entirely on managing debt.
Government spending isn't "investment" and doesn't work like a business.
And if you lower taxes then people will flock to your state, right? So Kansas should be bursting at the seams right now from a YUGE influx of people. Oh, wait....
Well, yes. Of course, the sad part is that many of the people who move from blue states to red states then attempt to wreck the states they move to in the same way they wrecked the states they moved from.
Taxes are just one factor that determines where people want to live.
True. It's primarily a factor for the middle class. People who don't pay taxes, or people who are quite rich, don't really care much about taxes. Which is probably why California is losing its middle class and why it has some of the highest levels of income inequality in the country. California truly is a bellwether for progressivism.

I'm all for that with only one condition...Let's also require proof of citizenship for voter registration, and require proper identification to cast a vote.
Here’s my top ten list of things that are racist because they require an ID:
#10 Buying alcohol – You can’t legally purchase alcohol anywhere in the United States unless you are at least 21-years old. You also can’t purchase alcohol without showing proper ID, even if you look old enough. Not only is this practice racist because many minorities don’t have identification, but it also promotes ageism and profiling. We can help heal the racial wounds of the past by taking everyone at their word that they are old enough to buy a 40 of malt liquor.
#9 Buying cigarettes – Same deal as with alcohol, only the age requirement varies from state to state. As you know, many smokers are poor and many poor people are minorities so this is doubly racist. In any case, letting 8-year olds buy a pack of Kools is a great way to take a stand against racism.
#8 Renting a car – Can you believe those racist assholes that rent cars actually want to know who you are before they hand over the keys to $40,000 automobile? Rental cars are already covered by insurance; what’s the big deal?
#7 Seeing a movie – Even though the MPAA ratings are not bound by law, movie theater employees will card younger looking patrons before selling them tickets to rated R films. How are minorities supposed to see Tyler Perry and Robert Rodriguez movies when they don’t have the ID to prove they are old enough? It’s like Jim Crow all over again.
#6 Buying a video game – No Game Stop in the country is going to let a teenager walk out of the store with an M rated game without them proving they are at least 17 years old. Denying access to violent video games is something the Nazis did, not a post-racial society.
#5 Bowling – For some racist reason a bowling alley won’t let people bowl in their street shoes. You either have to buy a pair of bowling shoes or rent them from the alley. If you opt for renting, those jerks are going to ask to hold your ID until you return the shoes. This is clearly an example of a de facto tax on the fundamental right to use a large black ball to knock over skinny white pins.
#4 Banking – You can’t open a bank account, write a check, or cash a check without ID. This racist practice of ensuring people are who they say they are and thus should have access to their money is a financial burden on the minority community. If we could eliminate the ID requirement, redistribution of wealth would be easy to attain as the poor would have unrestricted access to much richer folks bank accounts.
#3 Accessing national parks – A few years ago I had to show a valid ID to get on the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. Earlier this year I had to leave a valid ID to borrow the recorded tour device at Andrew Jackson’s estate. Why can’t the federal government take my word that I’m not going to blow anything up or that I’ll return something that probably cost a couple hundred dollars?
#2 Flying – Restricting free movement is probably the most racist thing of all. You cannot board a plane without ID and that puts minorities at a distinct disadvantage. Instead, the TSA should simply ask flyers if they are a terrorist and if they have Ebola. If the answer is no to both; let ‘em on the plane. Who would lie about these things?
#1 Gun Ownership – Unlike the other things on this list, which are implied rights, gun ownership is a specific right protected by the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. You can’t buy a gun without a valid ID, you can’t possess a gun without valid ID, and you can’t carry a gun without valid ID. If requiring people to show ID to vote is racist, then so is requiring ID to exercise the right to ke

Re:So says every SJW attacking Peter Thiel
Huma, stop posting as an AC.
1. Bill's history of abusing his position of power in order to exploit women is very well known and documented. There are plenty of interviews and books written about it by many of the women he's used and abused. And Hillary has a documented history of attacking these same women, in order to silence them or destroy their credibility. Finally, we have actual rape accusations against Bill that have been swept under the rug by a Democrat loving media. Why didn't NBC ever release the full interview they did of Juanita Broaddrick?
2. Did he say he was not going to accept the results at all? Or did he say he'll keep you in suspense?
3. The only people claiming O'Keefe is a liar and that he's engaging in misleading filming and editing are those that have been made to look bad by his revelations. The fact that the people in his videos "he put out weeks before the election" have RESIGNED tells you there doesn't need to be any vetting, they know they've been caught. And the fact that YOU don't want to believe any of it, and want to dismiss all of his revelations as fraudulent tells me you're a huge partisan Democrat hack.

Re:Trump and Clinton
While not reporting the things she's said. Both are terrible candidates. The only chance Hillary had was for the DNC to help her beat Sanders, the media willing to act as shills, and a general election opponent as repugnant as Trump.

Wait, aren't language requirements RACIST?!
London's transport bosses said on Monday that all drivers of private hire vehicles must speak, listen to, read and write English to a set level
The requirement is racist. Heck, simply asking, whether a person speaks English — without even requiring him to — is racist.

Re:Real evidence is plan
Hillarie's many instances of deeply held racism are easy/ to find if you search just a little.
Not really.
Of that list of 11 items, 1 is racist (if it happened, 40 years ago), 2 is racist, though somewhat of a legitimate mistake in the middle of a bad crime wave, and she repented.
The rest are bombed jokes or comments where they're trying really hard to erase the context and nuance.
Trump on the other hand his blasting his dog whistle like a bull-horn.
Of course I don't know if Trump is racist or just exploiting racism for political gain, but it's racism.
Since you appear to be too stupid to understand my comment (which is of course to be expected from someone only able to play the race card in place of real argument), it's not that he has black friends and supporters (though that in itself is an indicator)
There are 10's of millions of black people in the US, I'm sure David Duke could find black supporters if he wanted them.
- it's that in actions taken over a long period at times when he was not running for office, he did not act against people based on color (or indeed gender). Real people are judged by actions, not just words or the words especially of others that hate them.
And it's only a very extreme racist who won't have friends of an ethnicity at all, modern racism is found in the form of stereotypes, different standards for other groups, and singling out or judging groups based on ethnicity.
If you are also so stupid as to equate the federal government investigating the actions of a company with the actions of using a nuclear arsenal against another nation;
I'm seriously unsure what the hell you're talking about.
if indeed you are that stupid who can be blamed but yourself, possibly your parents?
I'm seriously amused you followed up a weird random sentence with this.
But you've had long enough to correct any misapprehensions they might have fed you, so your delusions are of your own peculiar brand, or more likely fed to you by the rich eco-chamber that is the modern liberal press and parroting supporters.
With any luck, perhaps time you may be able to think for yourself once more, rather than simply vomited what is fed to you by your masters.
I'll let you have the last word, as the delusional people will chatter on so and I am busy with real work and life.
Ok thanks for that!

She's an old white lady from the south, You do the math.
You're literally making the argument that Trump can't be racist because he has black friends.

Re:Tax
... and also a correlation between being progressive and donating.
Yes, there is a correlation, and it is negative. Republicans donate more than Democrats.
Which combined would make me believe that atheists donate more than religious people.
Since your reasoning is based on a false premise, I doubt if this is true.
But is arth1 the rare "progressive" who can admit his "progressive" thoughts were WRONG and actually learn something new?
I doubt that, too.
There's a reason it's "progressives" who promote speech codes, "microagressions", and "safe spaces"...

I live about 25 miles from there, we have the same laws in my town. I'm glad, I'm got tired of cleaning the cat shit out of my garden that was left by my neighbors cat. A call to the city got a letter sent to the neighbor. Kitty stays indoors now and my garden is cat shit free.
Here's some cat laws from MA:
