  • Total voters

  • Poll closed .
I wish Trump would act first and approve it. No vote at all, just a simple threat of wanting to is enough. No more fed support, no more vote power, and no more anything!
Plus, millions of votes (including many illegal ones) leaving the democratic party.
 
I'd prefer we fight a war to prevent CA from seceding, honestly. So long as our bombs avoid the wine region. We do need the food they produce too.

Lefties love to parrot the talking point that CA is a net giver, and the flyover states are net takers for federal tax purposes. But (1) we are all citizens of the US, so breaking down net payer/taker by state is moronic (2) I haven't yet seen a study that includes allowing CA to have extremely high tax rates (thus lower effective federal rates) when calculating the net payer/taker status. Yes, you probably need less money when your 12% tax rates are subsidized by the federal tax deduction.

I wonder if this one would go down in history as a war over states' rights.

Maybe the war of eastern aggression.
We would still get the food because they would have to sell it to get enough profits to survive.
 
I think this dude should be able to do this just like I think a religious zealot baker should be able to refuse to make a cake for two queers.
Agreed. You definitely have the right to serve who you want, but I just imagine the outrage if this were done to a muslim. When you see Christians being hated on, no one reports on it or talks about it.

I'm a pretty outspoken atheist but this country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. The fact that Muslims get more leeway than Jews and Christians is ridiculous.
 
Ehhhhh maybe. Kentucky is full of dirt poor white people but they don't tend to off each other.

True. But...

While obviously not comparable to murder, the chances are good that you might find a relatively high rate of opioid use and entitlement fraud within poor, white, KY communities. The chances are also good that you would find a relatively low rate of the same in happy, upper middle class white communities. So, if they're both groups of white people, what's the difference? What causes one group to break certain laws and another to obey them?

I think he's a megalomaniacal blowhard, but O'Reilly wrote a good book maybe 10-15 years ago that basically calls out how people born into a particular socio-economic group tend to stay there. Basically, wealth and success breed wealth and success, while poverty and crime breed poverty and crime. That's a big piece of it.

I hope whenever they are done with the NFL, they go after Facebook. If theres anyone who needs an ass kicking, its Zuckerberg. Would be pretty epic if Trump took them down.

Guess you missed 60 Minutes last night?
No Facebook, no Trump.

I agree. I think it's a huge part of it.

60 Minutes last night was about as fake news as it gets.

That whole story on the Vegas shooting was made up. Yeah, the guys doing technical parabolic trajectory calculations to know precisely where to aim his automatic weapons he's firing in a smoke filled room. Thankfully a yet to be seen security guard was lucky to stumble onto the room and only get hit with one half of percent of the bullets shot at him by a guy who calculates bullet trajectories in his spare time.

And targeted Facebook ads to those middle class blue collar workers in the rust belt won Trump the election. Thanks Facebook maybe you aren't filled with whacko leftist. Hey wait though, we almost got through a Trump story without mentioning Russia Russia Russia Russia.

Shake Shack has good burgers though. That part wasn't fake.
 
If you phrase it like that, the more accurate conclusion is likely that happy, upper middle class societies are much less likely to kill each other than their pissed off, dirt poor counterparts, regardless of race.

Maybe. But the violent crime rate of Appalachia (99 percent white) vs poor urban areas isn't even close. Appalachia's violent crime rate is less than the national average.

False.

Place in Lexington where I can get a better burger than Shake Shack for the same or less $$;

Five Guys
Shamrocks
Sawyers
Malones
Hardees
Culvers
Freddys
Steak and Shake
Raffertys
Bru Burger
Bad Wolf Burgers

Right, that's what I mean. White people are just far less likely to kill or hurt each other than other races. (On a per capita basis.)

*That's purely anecdotal but I'd be shocked if it's inaccurate.

So Jemele Hill gets suspended after trying to urge fans to hurt one of ESPN's products/relationships (NFL) and that's when she gets suspended? Am I understanding this correctly?

Not calling Trump and everyone who supports him "white supremacists" but calling to boycott NFL/Cowboys advertisers?

Money talks man. It's the sole reason Washington is such a cesspool - $$$$$$.
 
Jamele Hill suspended two weeks. Sorry fuzz.

For what?


I hope they sue. And I hope they lose. If a business wants to segregate itself from certain demographics have at it.

Umm. False. There are tons of suburban wealthy white kids hooked on the opiates. Addiction doesn' discriminate by wealth.
 
Another sheriff press conference...

Nothing. Well, mostly nothing....

- he may or may not have been on prescribed medications
- still talking to his gf
- talking to brother


This Lombardo guy is a dick who doesn't respect the media....which I kind of respect, tbh, but I just want answers and I'm not sure why they keep trotting out here if they don't have anything to say. He obviously doesn't want to be here, so wtf is he here?

It's just the truth. Just a complete difference in cultures. And it's not even just the U.S. Look to South Africa. Look to places where still to this day, they think bald men have gold in their heads and chop them up. Some cultures are better than others. And when a good culture is infected with barbaric cultures, you see the consequences of it...i.e. Europe right now.

But here in the states, you have a recipe for a terrible result. The National Gang Center's polling suggests 46 percent of gangs are Hispanic/Latino and 35 percent black despite that being about three-times their population size. So when you remember that number, now take into account that about 74 percent of blacks are born out of wedlock and have no father in the picture, don't value hard work or education and are brought up being filled with rap and street culture fed to them non-stop, it's a cycle of crap that continues over and over.

People laugh at the notion that rap could possibly negatively affect you but is it really such a laughable notion that someone who is subjected to that type of influence and propaganda and culture all day, every day with no father in their lives and you're being told that education doesn't matter and whitey is the devil and how you're owed everything....

Compare that to how poor Johnny White Kid is raised.

They can't give answers to an investigation they have zero control over. The FBI is running them out there to be the spokes person of complete fabrications. I wish he would just say f the FEDS and say here is what we really know.

Yeah, it's definitely hard to argue with some of those stats. Just off the top of my head, I'd be curious to see what impact population density had on those numbers.

I've said it before, but if Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc. are going to police political thought they disagree with, they absolutely need to be held responsible for anything and everything posted on their websites or media.

You can't monitor and police political thought, then tell me you can't monitor child predators, teenage bullies driving kids to suicide, etc.

Man I just flat did not like Shake Shack. The burger was very mediocre and it was like $31 for me and my kid to eat.

Also, if you're ever in Canada, your diet for the entire trip should consist of 2 things the entire time you're there. Poutine and timbits.
 
Is it any surprise that social media upped its censorship after voters used social media to side step the corporate media/DNC advocates to get information? It was the first time that really happened. WikiLeaks was dropping the Podesta Emails and DNC leaks on twitter for everyone to see. We could quickly see the O'Keefe videos and videos of Trump supporters being assaulted.

Can't have that. Can't let anyone see all that stuff and see the lies being told. So what to do? Start censoring everyone and everything that opposes you. All of your videos are shadow banned or demonetized or taken down for any absurd reason possible.

My question is, do people honestly think they'd stop there? Does that sound like a group who supports freedom of belief? The one who wants to silence you and punish you for not going along? The left never stops.
 
So at what point can we all agree that the authorities are not being honest about this and this stinks to high heavens?

Not saying to be Alex Jones but accepting the stuff/lack of stuff they have told us regarding this, speaks volumes and would be hard to swallow that type of bull crap without being insulted.

I mean I'm not sure what the alternative is.

Relocate to Vegas and start investigating the shooting ourselves?

March on the local FBI office and demand answers?

Kidnap the sheriffs and water board the info out of them?
