You people are so overreacting to this. All he's saying is that anyone who harasses SJW's by openly disagreeing with them or challenging them in any way will face jail time for it. Perfectly reasonable stuff.
It's their choice. Trying to force them to go into a field that *you* want them in will likely either sour them on it altogether or, even worse, send them into a field that they don't have any real aptitude for.
No, he's describing being a pompous horndog asshole, which anyone paying any attention knew he was already. It's just a question of which candidate you would prefer--a pompous horndog asshole who MIGHT actually stand up to Wall Street or a bellicose corporate whore who has already promised Wall Street that she'll let them write her corporate policy if they'll donate to her campaign.
Here are your two shitty candidates. Pick any one.
There may be a very, very, very tiny handful of Democratic (and Republican) politicians left out there who aren't complete corporate whores. But you can bet your sweet ass that Hillary Clinton is not, was never, and will never be among them.
He's so popular that 538 now has down below 20% chance of winning.
Yeah, that might be related to the fact that the media are 100% in the tank for Hillary and have basically branded him as Adolph Hitler: The Sequel. NBC News will blast some crude shit Donald Trump said 15 years ago all over the news tonight like it's the most important story ever. But when it comes to Hillary Clinton's shady "I'll be your Presidential whore if you give me cash" promises to Wall Street, they'll play it off as just some evil Ruskkie plot to prevent the GREATEST WOMEN EVAAAR from assuming her rightful role as Queen and Savior.
Speeches on the other hand aren't traditional disclosures.
Yeah, that's part of the problem. The press has been asleep at the wheel on that one for a long time. I would say it's pretty fucking important to the public interest to know exactly what politicians are promising to the Wall Street honchos behind closed doors. If Donald Trump were going around secretly begging Wall Street firms for money and promising to be their bestie-buddy once he's elected, I would ABSOLUTELY want that splashed all over the news (same goes for every other politician). The fact that the press doesn't even ASK for that kind of disclosure (especially if it's a Democrat) is shameful.
Dick Cheney was infamous for doing the same kind of shady shit behind closed doors back in the day. But at least the media TRIED to call him out on it. But then, Dick Cheney was a Republican and so CNN wasn't just rolling over for him and cheering him on like shameless sycophants.
The Republicans are hardly exempt from such deals.
I never said they were. That's one of the reasons Trump is so popular. People see him as a political outsider who isn't completely beholden to Wall Street in the same way that every mainstream Republican is. And he has been playing that message up too, bragging that his wealth and outsider status will keep him from becoming a corporate whore like every other politician.
Now whether or not Trump actually MEANS what he says is another story. I would say there is about a 70% chance that he'll end up being a corporate whore just like every other politician once he's actually elected. Still, that's better than the 100% chance with Hillary Clinton. And in an election where we're once again having the choose between the lesser of two evils, you go with the best odds.
Don't be naive. Her statements were intended to send a clear message to the audience, "Give me money and I'll be your friend." It's the same scummy promise that has become the norm for the almost every politician running for office now--politicians who are SUPPOSED to represent the people, and not just a few narrow monied interests. And it has infected both parties like cancer.
My dream is that someone releases a tape of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump talking to each other about all the married women they've banged. It would be the perfect cherry on top of this whole fucking circus.
Funny how the media acts like Donald Trump's tax returns should be open records, but when it comes to important speeches Hillary Clinton delivered to Wall Street, they're cool with her treating those like state secrets.
How much Donald Trump paid in taxes last year or whatever crude shit he said lately isn't going to have nearly as much of an impact on the day-to-day lives of most Americans as the secret backroom promises that Hillary Clinton has made to the rich and powerful corporate powers on Wall Street. At least Trump bragging about trying to bang some married woman isn't going to gut any labor laws, make him beholden to the corporatocracy, or cost any of us commoners our jobs.

No worries. The mainstream media is already releasing every nasty thing on Trump they can dig up. Someone has to release nasty stuff on Hillary too, since it sure as shit isn't going to come from CNN.
I just wish there were some way to genetically modify a plant that could suck CO2 out of the air and turn it into oxygen or something else harmless. You think with all our knowledge, someone could figure out how to make something like that.
What has being born out of wedlock got to do with anything?
It's a clear and stunning indicator of the disintegration of the traditional black family, as referenced in the OP. This isn't an issue of freedom here. We're talking about desperate mothers living in poverty with no husband around to help pay the bills or help raise their children. In case you haven't heard, the poverty rate for black women in the U.S. is about 30%.
The morality isn't the issue here either. I couldn't give a fuck less about that. It's the practical matter that it's a fuck-ton lot harder to raise kids when you're dirt poor and alone. Believe me, I've seen it up close and personal, and the results ain't pretty.
I'm pretty sure the Board doesn't have any say in the day-to-day decisions at Yahoo. If the CEO wants to fire a bunch of men, the only thing the board could do about it would be to fire the CEO--which would be a tacit admission that they were stupid to appoint her in the first place and likely cause a huge stock loss and major PR backlash as well. So good luck with waiting for *that* to happen.
Yet another SJW trope that people have gotten fucking sick of: the idea that if you don't buy into the radical SJW agenda then you must be a racist, sexist, homophobe who hates women, minorities, etc.
Newsflash to my SJW friends: "I value rights like free speech and the right to dissent" != "I hate women."
I used to think the far-right was scary. But these days the left scares me even more. Trump may be a epic douchebag, but at least I don't have to worry about him trying to have me fired, persecuted and arrested me for saying the wrong words.
If you think Biljana Plavi is a national hero, there is no point trying to reason with you any further. The kool-aid you've imbibed by the bucket-full is far too powerful for anyone to get through to.
You just keep telling yourself that women can't be every bit as vicious and evil as men, given the chance. While you're at it, maybe you can wishful think the Cubs into a World Series win too.
I must have missed the "I can't wait to start a nuclear war and send all the coloreds off to concentration camps" tweet. It must have been one of those late-night ones I missed.
Saying he's arrogant and self centered, and not the best choice of President for dealing with foreign policy is fine. But the Trump narrative in the mainstream media has gone WAY, WAY, WAY beyond that in recent days. If you watched nothing but CNN, you would think he were some lab-produced hybrid of raving lunatic and Adolph Hitler. SJW's have become absolutely histrionic in their alarmist portrayal of a Trump presidency as some sort of modern-day armageddon, going even beyond the ridiculous hyperbole from the right about Obama when he was elected. It's fucking ridiculous.
Canada is much less of a threat now that they've elected a dumb himbo Prime Minister who seems intent of leading them towards a giant mass cultural suicide. Besides, a lot of us kind of like their funny square-wheeled cars and the fact that they rid us of the Baldwin scourge.

How are we going to afford smart roads when we can't even consistently fix the potholes we've already got?

The CIA has been rigging elections since the end of WWII. Is the U.S. government going to go after them too?
