monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I'm not going to let you off that easily. You deceitfully and purposefully mis-stated what I'd said/argued and produced a really ugly personal smear. If I put you on ignore, it will be only because you now fail to acknowledge that and apologize for it. I'd rather not put you on ignore (I've never done so previously) but what you did drops below any acceptable level of discourse.

Edit: you don't even have to apologize. Just acknowledge it.

I use Gallup, and they show 40% today. That's surprising because of the recent revelation on Trump's charge against the Clinton's were determined to be false.
Add to that Trump's five year challenge on Obama's birthplace, and his constant lies.

Apologize for it? You attempted to dismiss the rape of a 14 year old girl by 2 people that shouldn't have even been in the same country as her, much less the same school by suggesting that "we should compare the number of rapes of young women committed by high school and college sports dudes." As though that 14 year old girl really give a **** about rape statistics or who else could have raped her. I guess she was lucky that at least the illegals won't have expensive lawyers. I mean unless the sanctuary people are going to crowd source one for them. They are the best and brightest, right?

You took a discussion of what could have been about the various ideas of sanctuary cities and states and turned it in to a "Yeah, but look, they do it too! White Americans are just as bad as the illegal immigrants!" discussion. You want to lessen the impact of illegal immigrants committing violent crimes because that makes the ideas of sanctuary cities look stupid. Who in their right mind would want to give someone like that sanctuary?

Now, you want me to apologize or you will stop reading my posts?! I say **** off and have a nice day.

It's not the hole I'm worried about; it's how long he remains president.

There's a lot of serious people kicking about here. I report, they decide.

The Koch brothers' network of well-funded outside groups says it will spend millions to protect Republicans who oppose the party's health care bill from political fallout.

Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners, the Koch network's big-budget grassroots activism and advertising groups, are teaming up to create a "seven-figure" reserve fund to support lawmakers who buck President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan on the health care vote, as the threat of primaries looms over some opponents of the bill. The Koch groups will spend the money on paid media, direct mail and grassroots canvassing.

Freedom Partners called the GOP bill "Obamacare 2.0" and said it falls short of truly repealing the 2010 law.

Where did you learn English? Trump University? LOL

So the sumbitches want a clean sweep of healthcare. Nothing for anybody, except, probably the same tax cuts for the wealthy.

CNN just dropped a bombshell report about President Donald Trump’s potential ties to Russia:

Quote:

The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.

There are a lot of unanswered questions in this. Who were the Trump associates and Russian officials? How exactly did these different people communicate and possibly coordinate? Is CNN’s report even reliable, given that it cites anonymous US officials?

But the report, if true, is big.

If Trump repudiates the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty then we can expand our arsenal to whatever size we want, right?

Yeah — and if we're really lucky he may even get a chance to use it!

And it also gives the green light to other countries, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela to develop their own nuclear weapons.

How long before ordinary civilians come to the conclusion that next to the US, IS is the lesser of two evils? It's tactics like this that lost the war in Vietnam.
