Half of the government cycling together? What could go wrong?
 
So you have a problem with the anti-descrimination laws in this country.
Tell me where you draw the line? Should I be able to refuse to sell a house to someone? Refuse to serve them in my restaurant? All because I have some prejudice against some group.

I think it is an issue that takes care of itself. I don’t want to give my money to someone who doesn’t want it and I think most people feel the same way. There may be rare occasions where there is only a single source for a product. In those cases it’s up to that business to suck it up and do the work.
Every group isn't covered under anti-discrimination laws, only certain protected classes. I personally don't believe those are needed anymore, but that is beside the point. I work as a consultant. I don't do work that I don't want to do. I am allowed to discriminate all I want as long as it is not against a protected class. If I don't like a client, I don't work for them again. They can't force me to work for them again. If I don't want to work for you for something stupid like not liking the way you look, I don't have to work for you. I have the right to discriminate against anyone for any reason, except those classes protected by anti-discrimination laws. You either believe in freedom or you don't. If you believe in liberty, then people are going to do things you don't like. But free people can't force others to work when they don't want to. That's slavery.
 
To me, a sure sign that someone is a sheep in the political herd is constant use of terms like snowflake, cuck, Nazi, libtard, rethuglican, white supremacist, alt right, etc etc. It's lazy and a sure way to tell people you're a closed minded idiot who can't have an intelligent conversation.
I agree with that

If $2 trillion in tax cuts is unaffordable, then what about the $5 trillion in new deficit legislation signed by President Obama? Where are the liberal deficit concerns over Bernie Sanders' $30 trillion single-payer health plan, only half of which is paid for?

And when Republicans proposed addressing the staggering $82 trillion deficit projected for Social Security and Medicare over the next 30 years, where was the liberal proposal to bring these programs into solvency? There wasn't any. Only fear mongering and scummy adds of Paul Ryan pushing an old in a wheelchair off a cliff.

Critics who are unwilling to confront these mammoth spending deficits proposed, and held up, by Democrats are in no position to lecture anyone on the deficit implications of a, comparatively modest, $2 trillion tax cut.
You're under the mistaken thought that I approve of any additional spending without the requisite additional revenues to pay for it.
I support universal healthcare and I know that it would require that the $15K-$20K in healthcare insurance premiums and out of pocket costs that currently comes out of me and my employer's pocket would be reverted to taxes to pay for it.

I've said on this forum many times that I believe in requiring a balanced budget. That tax rates should be tied to spending. Therefore if you want additional spending then you must also support the revenue stream to pay or find agreement to cut spending elsewhere.
Current projections show that by 2026 that the interest on the debt will be equal to the defense budget. It is currently 6% of the budget at near zero interest rates. Rates climbing just 1 or 2% which you know they will do will cause that portion of the budget to double.

Ryan will be prepping for a POTUS run if he actually leaves.

They only thing that will stop Voter fraud is all out prosecuting by law enforcement . Even then liberal would probably bitch about actually upholding the law.

They already call it voter suppression and bemoan voter ID.

the state tax income deduction is great. It will not allow libs in high state states to deduct that rate.

Yep. Bout to see how they feel about those insane state taxes now they have skin in the game.

So do you think they should be able to deny service to someone because of their race?
We have laws against discrimination. Why is that so hard to understand?

If you advertise doing custom cakes then you can’t pick and choose who you serve.

Good. Then the gay or muslim bakery should absolutely be forced to fill an order promoting the Christian or jewish faith. Right?

Equality cuts both ways. Dems always want a one way street.

So rampant in Hollywood they're outing themselves now...



Riding the publicity waive. When's the last time anyone heard of this guy?

I just find it perplexing that more black voters voted for Jones than Obama. Figure that one out

Certainly suspicious. All the red flags of this election, especially absentee ballots, need examined thoroughly

In my post I said "constant use."

Everybody goes to the well sometimes. Some just do it way more often than others. That's who I'm referring to.
 
I’m not sad to see him go, but why would any conservative want to go there?
It is a very tough job for good reason. You are allowed to challenge leadership in the GOP unlike the Dems, as shown by Reid and Pelosi surviving widespread losses and Sanders unable to get any support from members of congress. The leadership on the left is a bullying power cult.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you but there is a difference between being a contractor and having a brick and motar store open to the public. Also, there are 7 protected classes. Race, gender, color, religion, national origin, disability and familial status. That covers a lot of ground and doesn’t leave much uncovered.
 
Boston, we know you know how to use buttons and charge your dad for $7 a month for Netflix but you're a clown.

I liked your "putting country before party" shtick given that you Dems are as lawless as can be, refuse to enforce federal law, refused to protect borders, etc.

Democrats are gutter trash. Your ideology is such nonsense, so cancerous to a society that actually wants sovernity, wants normalcy, doesn't want big government and the corruption that comes with it, doesn't want lawlessness, doesn't want media that colludes with a party as an attack dog and propaganda firm.

Considering you're a Dem, you're naive as can be to not know what your party does in scheming. No doubt you never bothered to read Podesta emails and DNC leaks. No doubt you're clueless about Fusion. No doubt you're unaware of the proven voter fraud that occurs and the steps Dems go to stuffing ballots and busing people across state lines (Dem super PAC exposed admitting to this last year thanks to O'Keefe).

You people are what Lenin referred to as "useful idiots."
lol if you think the Republicans are all about small government and continuing to push conspiracy theories like voter fraud they have been proven overwhelmingly false time and time again. But I'm not a democrat. In fact, I've never voted democrat, not once, unless it was for some minor local position where a democrat was running unopposed. I just hate the current Republican regime.

You can be an atheist and vote conservative but how can you call yourself a Christian and vote Democrat? A friend of mine became an anything goes "Christian" leftist after living in California and the mental gymnastics is incredible.

But I ask this mostly because of black Christians who overwhelmingly vote Dem. How do you justify voting for a party who is hostile toward Christians, target Christians, backs abortion, Trans, etc?
Some would say the same for a Christian voting Republican given the GOP tax plan is taking from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich.
 
Welp net neutrality has been repealed.

Perhaps if Sanders was a Democrat he might get more support. He is an independent.

Let me know when any independents get elected into leadership in the GOP.

Odd considering the bill hasn't even been completely finalized. I'm curious, though. Please explain your findings, with citations; otherwise, turn off the propaganda box and get a grip.

We all know the tax bills are far from perfect, but you are blatantly misrepresenting them, making up lies, and come off as repeating only what you've heard on CNN.

Democrats are corrupt and evil as hell but they're much more calculating and seem to be five steps ahead of Republicans all the time.

One of the main reasons why is Democrats are ruthless and play to win. They have no moral code so they don't give a crap. Republicans are spineless and not organized like the left is.

Lol. I think being the rape capital of the west sucks and I think having parts of the country be war zones is pretty awful. They had a steak of like 24 days straight of bombings. Their women are raped at an absurd rate and 99 percent of the culprits are foreigners/Muslim.

Their government officials are weak clowns and have been conquered.

I disagree that the CBO is non partisan. Also, quite a lot in the red falls into the 45% who don't even pay taxes. Are they supposed to get double the credits?

Not to mention, your idea of rich and mine and completely different. I don't consider small business owners and/or those making a couple hundred K a year as 'rich'.

Rape capital of the West? Not supported by data. Additionally, claiming 99% of the rapists are foreigners/Muslims can not be proven as that data is not published. Additionally, Sweden is ranked as the 18th safest country in the world, the USA is not even in the top 100.
