If Hillary Clinton had won two percentage points more of the vote in MI, PA, WI, NC, and FL, would we still be hearing calls to abolish the Electoral College?

Abolishing the electoral college wold be disastrous. I trust the Founding Fathers more than a lying bitch like Warren.

Maybe because I never got the feeling from Schumer that Merit was based on how well one tans or burns first, and character as an after thought?? But when Merit starts with, lets import more people from Norway, and less people from say south of the border or other shithole countries.

I have never said that only Republicans were racists. But I do hold that currently, race is playing more of a role in where the head cheeto is trying to direct this country.

You don’t get that feeling from chuck and what he did to blacks ? ???? And again nothing on Obama ‘s racism either ?

But the thing is, when I hear more complaint about building a wall than I do about addressing a real concern which is gun violence in our country that is out of control. That leads me to think your main concern is immigration and not actually crime in and of itself.

the fact that the majority of people I see up in arms about immigration and building a wall are in fact white people, would lead one to think (correctly) that it is more of a concern for white people than it is for anyone else. Which again begs the question is this really about crime and security, or about preventing change.

And again I find it rather insulting actually that the only time the same old white people really give a flying farttart about the plight of the poor mistreated blackman, is when we are being to a degree being used as an excuse to push an agenda against another group of (currently) minorities.

Okay, 1.) it’s YOUR OPINION gun violence is more of a real concern than illegal invasion. Many, probably most, do not agree. 2.) A more secure border actually IS a step towards lessening gun violence. 3.) I absolutely worry about crime, here…though you’d probably get butt hurt on my opinions on that. Regardless, while illegal immigration brings crime and thats what Iw ant to avoid, the two aren’t entirely the same issue. One (illegal invasion) is far more preventable than the other so its logical to tackle that, rather than allow it to further feed our crime rates and problems.


“the fact that the majority of people I see up in arms about immigration and building a wall are in fact white people, would lead one to think (correctly) that it is more of a concern for white people than it is for anyone else.” That is called confirmation bias. Additionally, confirmation bias in the coverage. Have you noticed no one bitches about legal Indian immigration? Legal Chinese immigration? Hell, LEGAL Mexican immigration. No? Or do you just pretend to ignore that as it might ruin your little racist narrative.


I find it insulting you’re prejudice enough to think the only time white care about blacks is to pit them against other minorities. You’ve got issues.

Canada ramps up border security to stop the flow of asylum-seekers coming from the US

No outcry about socialist Canada controlling its border

I didnt and dont get the feeling from either of them that they are or were trying to drive a wedge into the country.

Just for a moment, think about how you would have reacted if Obama had said White folks are not breeding their best stock in America, and we need to limit their reproduction.

Or if a group of black and Mexicans had marched chanting Whites will not destroy us.

Or if a congressman had come out and said, Americas future is in Brown babies, because we cant rebuild America with Norwegian babies.

Maybe if Kamala Harris came out and said, we should ban all catholics from coming into the country until we figure out what the hell is wrong in the church??

Fact.. Trump started his run saying Mexico is not sending us their best. The are sending us criminals and R@pists.

Fact- Trump did call for a complete Muslim ban.

Fact- Steve King did say, we can not rebuild "OUR" country using other peoples babies.

Fact- People did march chanting the words Jews will not replace us. And Trumps response... there were fine people on both sides of that debate.

So it appears that the only solution, to you, for cleaning up our waterways, federal intervention. See, this is where we differ. The Federal government does nothing well or efficient. There are enough out there that believe in the cause that funds can be raised privately and used much more efficiently. Do you have any idea if the Trump administration has another thought on how to handle the issue?

Click to expand...

The Trump Administration has made it pretty clear that the environment is not a priority, or even a concern really. Sure there is a random positive move he has made, such as the one posted previously, but most all of his moves have been with little regard, or in some instances blatant disregard, to the environmental impact.

As for the Feds they have done a fantastic job of cleaning our waters, making the air cleaner etc. I remember when the Potomac smelled like a sewer, it's so much cleaner now and the state of Maryland would not have been able to make that happen without federal funding and that's the case across the country.

And he's right. They're not sending us their best. And I'm not saying all invaders are rapists (though statistically 1/3 or girls in these caravans are being raped) but they are criminals.

Fact- Of the hundreds of times Trump spoke about vetting spheres of Muslim terror he once flubbed and said all Muslims. Also Fact- he never actually tried banning all Muslims. Continuing to push that as a narrative is akin to a lie.

He's right. We should rebuild it with our own, so we don't resembled New Turkey (Germany) within 2 generations. By the way, "our" babies are white, brown, black and asian, but all AMERICAN.

Most were chanting YOU will not replace us, some NAZI's were chanting JEWS will not replace us, and Trump is right there were fine people on both sides. But they were in the minority, as there were a lot of human trash on both sides of that debate. trump should have said both sides were composed of mostly shitty people.

1. Mexico isnt sending anyone. That would be akin to you moving to DC and people complaining that where ever you came from didnt SEND us their best and brightest.

2. Flubbed or not, I dont think this man says much that he doesnt really mean at some level.

3. Sorry if I dont think Steve King considers me and mine in his rantings about our and us.

1.) So you believe. And your analogy is terrible.
2.) That's a convenient excuse to take literally a one time flub to vilify him for what you believe he wants to do while dismissing hundred of examples of what e actually DID do.
3.)No need to apologize. Your racial biases and prejudice were no doubt learned. One day I think you can overcome them.

It’s always an “accident!” The accidents are always only one way and happen so frequently that unless the people designing the algorithms are total incompetents it’s pure and simple bias and conservative censorship.

It’s time to stop this BS.

Fact the press ran with BS and Mexico isn’t sending us their best fact he was talking about coyotes
Fact he didn’t call for a complete Muslim ban , in fact 90 % of Muslims world wide can come here

Fact trump was talking about people not wanting statues taken down not the nazi’s he condemned.

Fact you can’t distinguish. That Obama said if Muslims were Scandinavians there could be peace .

Mexico isnt sending anyone. These people are coming of their own volition.

Outcry as Trump calls for Muslim ban

Trump has never personally condemned Nazis or neo-nazi's. At best his mouth piece has done it for him from the white house press room.

Obama never said if Muslims were Scandinavian. He did suggest if the world could act more like the Scandinavian nations.

Side note its got to be tedious searching for times a democrat has said or done something questionable to try and some how justify damn near every single day of the Trump Presidency.

The video I posted shows differently

Yeah the people who think and act like him TOTALLY aren't racist...

Actually no...it is country (policy) over Party. You seem confused about what country means. The Democratic Party is running on socialism, killing born alive babies, 20 trillion dollars in new debt, and non-citizens voting...so yeah, I think you need to redefine country.

All those “excuses” are facts.p
