Random Political comments...

^You make great point Colibreh, that's why I want the Trump administration to ramp up racist policies so as to force the Democrats to openly support black issues. This why I want Trump to do as much as possible, the more dumb shit Twitler does, the more Bernie "it's NOT about race" and co has to either ignore racial issues and alienate black votes, or come out all guns blazing on black issues.

Come on Trump call up n***s so as the force the Democratic hand.

I saw someone make a interesting point. This seems like a ploy/strategy not just to distract from Russia & healthcare bill, but most importantly for the 2018 & 2020 elections. It's puts Democrats in a position where they having to openly support an identity politics that most folks DGAF about.

Trump isn't that smart. His upbringing and his history in business should prove that, even if you ignore his behavior as president. Let's not forget that this is the same man who doesn't know difference between health insurance and life insurance despite the fact that he campaigned extensively on the issue.

I am in the firm belief that he doesn't care about anyone. His family, maybe. Himself, most assuredly. Everyone else can kick rocks!

He ran for office just to see if he could win. He doesn't care about the American people.

Agreed. He care for absoluely no one outside of himself and immediate family. It's all about him, and getting richer at any cost.

He strongly denied ever saying that about 'Blacks counting his money", no one can corroborate it either...take it with a grain of salt, BP were working for him then.

I remember the Central Park 5. I don't think Trump - and many others, understand that confessions can be coerced, even for henious crimes. He thinks 'they admitted it, so whats the problem here?'. It is frustrating, yet understandable.
While we can sit here and say we would never admit to a crime we didn't commit as strong as our personalities are, we don't know that we could not be tricked, manipulated coerced and convinced into confessing to a heinous crime that we had absolutely nothing to do with. Your mind plays tricks on you. There are some people who do not ascribe to that belief, however.

Myself and any New Yorker remembers this well. Trump who despite what he says is not known to be the giving type... At the time he spent over $80K on full page ads in 4 newspapers calling for the death penalty in response to the Central Park 5. Even when they were acquitted he was against it. He often reminds us of how smart he is... Surely, he'd understand the concept of coerced confessions and such. Even if he did truly believe they were guilty... Once news of them being exonerated came out... he, the hateful, racist man he is still stuck to his guns

He's a textbook example of a backstabber. For a man who talks about loyalty as much as he does, he doesn't seem to realize that it goes both ways. Hell, look at how he's treating Jeff Sessions right now. Trump has always been a snake.

So l looked up the Ad, made during an extended crime wave in your city.

Keeping in context, I agree 100% with it.
Do you? If not, why not.

And look how the DNC and the Democrats are treating Jeff Sessions now. First they applauded him, then he suddenly became a White devil , now they support him again. Backstabbers, indeed.

Why do you believe a dumb man can be as successful as he has been, and is? All the way to the Presidency? At some point, he would be outsmarted.
 
I don't support the death penalty for the following reasons.

The death penalty has no measurable effect on the crime rate, so the argument that it's a deterrent is unfounded.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...tions-deter-criminals/?utm_term=.679e53edda2f

The death penalty is also a bell that can't be unrung. Since 1973 almost 150 people have been exonerated from death row, and it's believed that the number of innocent people on death row is 1 in 25. So basically 4% of people on death row will likely be murdered by the state for something they didn't do.

And lastly, since I'm pro-life I believe that taking a human life should only be reserved for self-defense.

Lil Wayne is successful and he actually started from nothing, and never filed bankruptcy. If he was old and white he could be president.

Like Wayne, 45 is an entertainer. Outsmart him how? Entertain people better?

Well maybe Wayne filed once. But that's plenty less than 45

Well he's had, and has, numerous lawsuits filed against him for failure to pay his bills and had his home repossessed.
 
As the Russian investigation continues to heat up, expect Trump to lean in to the culture wars hard. It's pretty clear that Trump wants people to talk about something -- ANYTHING -- other than the Mueller investigation, so dividing us along classic cultural lines and getting us to fight about that is right up his alley. We won't have time to worry about the Russia investigation (let alone the healthcare debate) if we're all stuck re-arguing whether gays should be allowed to marry or join the military or if immigrants from certain countries should be banned or what have you.

I've explained my position on the death penalty many times here which is when it's irrefutable evidence and proof not only by confession since one can be coerced, but accompanying video or multiple eyewitnesses in the vicinity of the crime, during the crime, as well as DNA evidence.
I think it does deter some people.

But you compare Trump's wealth to Lil Wayne's? Let Wayne amass wealth that Trump has and see whether he'll file for bankruptcy down the line. If you have an issue with it, the laws are what you should be mad at.
Trump was very reluctant to file bankruptcy but his hotel was draining him more than he was bringing in. Real estate is so volatile that many who accumulate their wealth via it, file at some point.

So there's this ultra-left reporter who is actually for the ban. I heard snippets of it but basically his consensus is that do not compare the military to private businesses - its is a completely different world. He said that many transgender individuals do have to have ongoing psychiatric evals and ongoing therapy and that there is a lot of disruption when it comes to dealing with their issues from surgeries to their mental - state. Do you know that if you have ADD you cannot join the military? (now I don't know to confirm that and maybe someone here knows), but there are some issues that prevent you from joining the military. Bottom line, transgenderism is a distraction in the military, he said.
