Looked at Okeef's Twitter and all the bern outs are trying to spin that gulags were a good thing.

They can't spin wanting to shoot dissidents on the beach. This dude is nuckin futz. O'Keefe is giving them feet of rope at-a-time to hang themselves. As soon as his supporters move in one direction, he hits them from another angle with a new video. He made a post earlier today saying he hopes the Sanders camp plays this off as a rogue individual b/c he has videos for that too.


 
Pot is legal in the state of Washington. Seattle is still suffering super high property crime rates. The Seattle city prosecuter and the King county prosecuter have a very low rate of prosecution for meth or herione offenders. Seattle is still suffering super high property crime rates.
We've had the war on drugs for 50 years now. You can't just legalize pot in a couple states and expect everything to just magically fix itself. This is something that will take generations to fix. You have to reestablish communities previously built around drug trade while introducing jobs those people can actually fill and live on. You have to find ways to encourage minority groups massed up in ghettos to spread out while not forcing out through gentrification. You also have to understand that cities will always have higher crime rates no matter what you do. When you stack people on top of each other it guarantees more crime because humans are just slightly smarter animals. You also have to rebuild American culture to where people actually respect each other again and aren't just trying to get famous on youtube.
 
That’s not the point of the discussion at all.
They’re not. Pretending that they far outweigh their statistical presence, is.

Why is that a problem, if not racism? If 90% of all commercials contained happily married white couples, would that bother you? Is that not also pretending that happily married white couples far outweigh their statistical presence? How about if 90% of all commercials contained happily married black couples?

To be true representations 50% of the commercials have to end with the couples divorced and trying to murder each other.

We have had plenty of good economies the last 30 years but nothing I would call booming. .....

** KA-BOOM **

For First Time in 26 Years, All U.S. Metros Enjoyed Income Gains.
Americans in every U.S. metropolitan area experienced economic prosperity in 2018, according to a recent report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

For the first time in 26 years, no metro area saw per-capita incomes fall that year -- the latest available data -- and it was only the fourth time since 1970 that every U.S. urban region experienced prosperity

Do the Democrats plan to specifically limit Donald Trump’s ability to defend the US against Iran, or do they plan to reign back in any executives power to attack any country without congressional approval?

Now you want to shift it to happily married. A sure sign that you’re wrong.

Anything that distorts numbers is agenda driven. Try, just once, to attempt a
discussion without retreating to “racism”.

Ok, fine, "successfully" married couples. Sparring over semantics is a sure sign that you're wrong.

And what numbers are being distorted? Where is it written that commercials must reflect whichever "statistical presence" you want to cite? Are you controlling for how many mixed couples are under 25? How about mixed couples of different religions? Different educational levels? Lived together first? Socioeconomic background?

Accusing me of retreating to "racism" is laughable; very little I despise more than liberals using the word as a shield against any argument they can't win, which is most of them. Regardless, your argument that there are too many interracial couples in commercials is just inane. There is nothing inherently wrong with interracial marriages, so why do you care? As a Christian, I feel like there are much worse cultural problems than that.

Good thing every one of those metros is run by Democrats. The GoP would have taken away minimum wages and just fed the billionaires.

Lol...ghettos in Seattle... There are no ghettos in Seattle. It is close to lilly white except for the H1Bs. The meth heads and heroine addicts move to Seattle because they know they won't be prosecuted and you can setup your tent anywhere and steal whatever they need support their habit. The socialist city council likes it that way because they supply a built in voter base. There is a reason the city is called Freeattle. The city council wants to give everyone a free house but not deal with the problem of addiction.

1) Yes, 90% of any demographic being represented in media would be cause for concern.
2) Nowhere is it written that companies have to represent any social aspect truthfully or equally. That is up to their customers to decide. If you read the original tweet threads I linked that started this discussion, you'd see that info play out. Get woke, go ****ing broke, as the kids say.
3) No one said "Too many." The term used over and over is "disproportional", as in irreconcilable with real world experiences, which is translating to cancel culture for those companies embracing such wokeness.
4) No, there is nothing wrong with interracial marriage. So why the heavy lean to portray it as dominant in society? What is its need to be falsely represented? Again, why can't fair just be fair w/o folks being racist?

For me, it's like the media is trying to convince me of something, get me to accept some social notion it believes to be superior. When I see such commercials I feel like I am being preached to...by an entity not qualified to preach.
 
You guys still don’t understand tax incentives, Wisconsin didn’t pay Foxconn one red cent.


HAHAHA Trump so stupid. Walker negotiated a deal with Foxconn. Foxconn failed to perform. Foxconn didn’t get the incentives.

That is exactly how it’s supposed to work.

Now the Democrat governor is renegotiating an incentive deal, and platinum somehow views that as a knock on Walker and Trump.

The original deal was 250k in tax breaks per job. The highest ever offered by the state before was 30k per job. The best case scenario for cost recoup was 30 years. They have also also dumped hundreds of millions into infrastructure updates and land seizures for a facility that will never exist. So far foxconn has not created a single job they promised. Yea, going just like it's supposed to! Walker was running a con and probably taking millions in bribes for such a monumentaly stupid deal. He thought it would kick off his career to a Senate run. Trump gave him a board seat on some federal program as a consolation prize.
 
Paul was an apostle that spent his life persecuting Christians and then made a pilgrimage to Damascus and was reborn and then was beheaded in Rome as a martyr. Wtf Putin and Assad were trying to say by referencing it, no damn clue. Maybe that he was an anti-christian heathen until he saw how gullible the GoP base was and became a fake christian to herd it's masses. Now they want him to pilgrimage to Damascus to complete his journey.
According to the story Paul was such a terrible person it took meeting God personally on the road to Damascus to turn his life around. They’re joking that walking the road to Damascus (aka meeting God) is the only thing that could make Trump a normal human. You know you’re a grade-A person when Putin is cracking jokes about your lack of humanity...
