I still do not understand where the "lock her up" originated.
She copied classified documents to an unsecured, non-government server. People not named Clinton are routinely prosecuted and locked up for doing that.
There's an idea, going back centuries, that laws should apply equally to all. Hence "lock her up", because that's what the law says and that's what would happen to her if we still had "rule of law" rather than "rule of men" (which is where some special people are above the law and need not obey laws).
Because the alternative is admitting that Hillary lost because she's terrible and because her views are out of step with the public.
And that can't be true, right? If it were, Republicans would also control the House and the Senate and the majority of the state governorships and the state legislatures.
Sounds like something a tobacco company CEO might say. Sure it's poisonous, but they keep buying it, LOL. News media are the moral equivalent of cigarette salesmen.
Clickbait headlines should be trivially easy to recognize. If Facebook is serious about filtering them, it should immediately be obvious to Facebook users when they turn the filters on.
Has anyone actually seen a change or is this just PR bullshit?
If you make a profit off your innovation, France will be happy to take most of it in taxes. So yeah, France welcomes innovative people, just don't expect to be rewarded.
They didn't need a special horse permit? No special government worksite inspections? No mandatory ASPCA representation on site to prevent abuse? No need to submit a permit change or get government waivers? Didn't the farmer have to get a specific number of hours of training, pass a certification test, and join the union?
Are you sure it wasn't Somalia? The lack of regulation is horrific.
That kind of problem solving would never be allowed in a blue state.
Sorry, but making the lives of the racist bigots of the Nazi party worse is rather the point. Same with the rest of their ilk.
You're making life worse for anyone who believes your delusions. You're assigning guilt to those you perceive as different than you and issuing threats.
Of course, they claim they're being bullied.
Intimidating people (for example, by using threats, like you are doing) is the dictionary definition of bullying. So yeah, whoever these people are may correctly perceive the fact of what you're doing.
You should talk to a psychiatrist. If you really believe a psychiatrist will tell you you're healthy, then there's no reason not to. But healthy people don't see enemies everywhere, like you do. Unlike you, mentally healthy people don't think they're on a righteous mission that involves seeking out and punishing people who have different beliefs,
Coal miners could do other similar work in other industries. There will be blue collar jobs for at least the next 50 years -- as long as the miners needs jobs.
No, people aren't the product at Amazon. Amazon isn't primarily an advertising company like Google and Facebook. Amazon sells you retail items at a profit.
Tell me, why are you wringing your hands so much over it?
Because you're bullying people and making life worse for everyone. Telling you to step back from the edge, be sane, and try to stop making yourself and everyone around you miserable -- it's not like it takes a lot of effort. Maybe someone reading this will decide not to follow you down the rabbit hole.
Maybe go see a psychiatrist. Balanced mentally healthy people don't feel beset on all sides by dramatic villains and enemies of righteousness. They don't spend their days obsessively telling themselves those sorts of stories.
Hysteria? Check. Guilt by association? Check. Coercion? Check.
Your cultural purity policing is advancing steadily. Have you been studying the methods of the Islamic religious police? Are you all set to become the next Roy Cohn?
... doing nothing just makes you complicit...
So, you're saying "you are either with us or with the terrorists"?
So, they're saying that supporting (or even not despising) the otherwise democratically elected president of the United States is "hate"?
Yes, that's what they're saying.
Historically, this sort of thing doesn't end well.
Witch hunts based on hystreia, dramatic storytelling and guilt by association aren't healthy for a society you say? Trying to coerce people into swearing a series of cultural loyalty oaths might have a downside?
Exactly how often did Clinton use the word "deplorable"? Exactly how often did Trump insult people? Methinks there's a double standard here.
Nope. Trump should also clean up his act.
The original post was about coal miners. If it was about Mexicans and whether they should trust Trump, I'd suggest he might want to take a similar approach. But it's not. And no one is trying to deliberately end an industry that primarily employs Mexicans, whereas the same can't be said for American coal miners.
That's their call, but claiming other people don't care is unfair. Some do.
No, it seems fair. A group of people who show open contempt for you almost all the time, but then try to make nice for a week or two prior to an election, doesn't care about you. Hillary wasn't fooling anyone.
If you want people to start believing you care, then stop the "deplorable" talk start rebuking leftist haters. Rather than telling a coal miner to go to school to get a job as a nurse, help him get a job drilling for oil in Texas or mining copper in Arizona. Then maybe he will start believing you care.
No it isn't. Giving a shit is giving a shit. Trying to re-brand hatred and contempt (or mere disrespect and disinterest) as "speaking hard truths" is PR.

Arresting people and/or levying fines against people for giving each other car rides is not "small government".
The number of people in an average household has decreased. It's not surprising that fewer individuals use less electricity.
Because the alternative is admitting that Hillary lost because she's terrible and because her views are out of step with the public.

That's what America wants.

This is what is known as "toxic masculinity".
It's described that way to further an agenda. But characterizing it that way unjustly stereotypes people.
If you make a profit off your innovation, France will be happy to take most of it in taxes. So yeah, France welcomes innovative people, just don't expect to be rewarded.
And then there's the risk of mass shootings in France.

It's not advertising for 3rd parties. Amazon wants you to buy stuff from them because they sell it at a markup.
The "people are the product" companies are companies that don't primarily sell you stuff, like Facebook and Google.

They should stop doing that and use better arguments. Also "the other guy did it too" is also a stupid argument.
Speaking hard truths is "giving a shit".
No it isn't. Giving a shit is giving a shit. Trying to re-brand hatred and contempt (or mere disrespect and disinterest) as "speaking hard truths" is PR.
You changed the subject to health care.
"Why didn't [whoever] say [whatever] [whenever]?" Is always a stupid argument, and usually also a strawman.
got scored at kicking ~24M Americans off their insurance policies (translation: hurry and die)
Health coverage doesn't significantly affect health.
You should still grow up.
Hillary offered a job training program assistance.
Why would they trust Hillary when the people on her team have showed them nothing but hatred and contempt?
That's the Republican healthcare bill.
Grow up.
Trump promised to bring back coal mining jobs. Which he has no plans to do.
So what? Miners should listen to the side that expresses hatred and contempt toward them over the side that offers sympathy and phony promises?
