"He has made Racism okay again."

Yet, so far, there have been fewer instances of racial violence in relation to Obama's terms. So that means you are 100% dead wrong. Maybe Trump has let racism stay okay but it isn't his Presidency that has any evidence of more violence due to racial issues. So your attempt at spreading hate to cater to your party is pathetic.

Two problems, one on both sides.

1. Yes, banks have to ask questions. They have to gauge a person's responses and behaviors, especially for that large of sums. Don't blame them, blame the Patriot Act. However, calling the cops is why this guy is going to win money. Banks don't call cops for fraudulent checks, at least they aren't supposed to. They have cameras and documented processes to follow in situations in which they think someone is being fraudulent. They are supposed to just refuse to cash the check and then move on, unless the person gets unruly and then they are able to call the cops.

2. And then we have this gem that proves this is article is just to fit an agenda (or the man was just trying to make himself more of a victim so he could have a case):

"Thomas said his mind quickly went to the large number of black people killed during encounters with police,"

This is what irks me about the whole "racist cops" situation. Up until a couple years ago, there were NO metrics of race when it came to physical altercations with cops. And even today it is lacking. There are no numbers to prove more black people are involved in cop shootings than white. There are no trending metrics that can be used. Go ahead, try. Look into the FBI's numbers. They never tracked this before and still aren't doing a good job of it. What we DO have are news articles. That's it. Yet they've already proven that black people get more headlines than white people for no reason when it comes to altercations with cops, and white people in negative altercations are not reported at nearly the rate of black people. So there is bias going both ways. But in the end, the reality is nobody knows if "large numbers of black people are killed during encounters with police" and whether or not it follows racial lines. In fact, the mortality rate among ALL altercations with cops is a very tiny percent. Still sucks, sure...but the issue is nowhere close to being a national emergency that the news can report as reasoning to believe that a black person is in mortal danger when approached by cops.

Well, I mean, he does have a point. If you look at the way Liberals are trying to rewrite history, it's only a matter of time they make some outlandish claim like a woman invented the wheel so without women we wouldn't have them or it was only because of transgender bathrooms did we create cars. Hey, either of those could be true but there is no way to prove it, so it won't stop Liberals from making it up to further their agenda. So I get where he is coming from but he does this too often, say things that you have to dig to find his meaning instead of either not saying them or making them a little more palatable to the masses.

"There's so much more if you take the blinders off."

Another reason why we never get anywhere. It has nothing to do with blinders, it has to do with partisan hate. You are right, there are negatives. No doubt about it. Always has been with anyone in charge. But there are positives, as well. Yet partisan hate prevents you from actually acknowledging that a list of negatives while ignoring all other aspects of an argument actually prevents you from winning. The only thing it does is make people in your party nod their heads and people in other party shake their head. It's not blindess, it's an "ignoring" problem. Start being objective and look at the economy as a whole instead of just the negative parts that fit your narrative and more people will listen. Then, provide solid explanations as to why the negatives outweigh the positives. But the reason this never happens is because neither side would ever dare to actually acknowledge there are positives...because hate is more powerful than truth these days.

It incredibly sad that Dems have fallen for this idiot's exaggerations. They have fallen so hard and dumb that they continue to try to disprove his exaggerations instead of his actual accomplishments. No, he didn't bring about an economic change like the world has never seen. But voters aren't going to not vote for him because of that. They ARE going to vote for him because they have jobs and things are looking really good regardless of how much doom and gloom the Dems try to spread to get votes. Come on Dems, start being smarter. That's all the country is asking. Be smart enough to beat someone like Trump. You haven't been able to do that yet because you continue to fight dumb with dumb.

Ugh, I was really getting behind the Libs on this one until this stupid statement:

""That a member of the Senate -- at a moment when the Senate is undertaking its most solemn responsibility -- would choose to take to Twitter to spread slander about a member of the military is a testament to cowardice. While Senator Blackburn fires off defamatory tweets, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman will continue to do what he has always done: serve our country dutifully and with honor.""

So I guess protesting at veterans' funerals is OK though. Denying parades and celebrations for returning military since Vietnam is OK. But OMG...put something on Twitter and it becomes a really big problem for Libs.

This is what I've been talking about. If you want Trump out, that's fine. Present the evidence and make a good case. But once you turn to using hypocrisy to spread hate, you lose people. Well, you lose the objective people who want what's best for the country. I know that demographic is becoming incredibly small so maybe it just doesn't matter anymore since it's not a huge pool of voters for either party.

Once again a Liberal establishment has a No Duh! moment. The Earth has been warming for millennia. This is nothing new. Most people aren't disagreeing with global warming, they are disagreeing with the man-made part of it and also the projected effects of it. But the fact that the globe is warming is nothing new. The best part of this article though is how it proves the climate is not changing like the IPCC and other Liberal doomsdayers say it is. If it were, you would see an elliptical trend develop in the graph, even over 50 years. But you don't see that. You see a gradual, steady trend. The IPCC and others have claimed the weather is increasing exponentially on itself (thus an elliptical curve would be seen). That is written in all of their reports. It's good to see an article indirectly prove wrong the illogical conclusions people have made.

""60% of CO2 emissions since Greta Thunberg was born is attributable to China ... but nobody talks about that. They talk as if its somehow Europeans and Americans who are going to fix this problem ... which is frustrating because it doesn't get to the heart of the matter," said Ferguson."

Well, technically, you are making a conclusion based on the end result and not on the causation. It doesn't matter if China holds the most CO2 right now. If they didn't someone else would simply because the demand for the products made in those factories and industries would not go away. Consumers wouldn't stop buying products made in CO2 generating industries just because China isn't making them. If China shut down today, all of those factories would be built somewhere else. So, indirectly, America and Europe as the most populous of the goods consumed by these industries, do play a part in the emissions. Now, that doesn't excuse the fact that Greta has been proven to be a puppet of her father and the other guy he works with and that they are ruining her childhood for their own gain. That is inexcusable and I'm surprised Liberals are embracing her father so much by turning a blind eye to the evidence that proved her father is the one behind it all. The fact Libs are OK with a child's life being taken from her and controlled is terrible.

"For most of President Barack Obama's time in office, Republicans seemed to care very much about the budget, making fears around the national debt and deficit their top talking point. They've backed off those concerns under Trump."

And during W's Presidency, Dems used debts and deficits as major talking points. This is why kids should not be in politics. Anybody who uses budgets as a reason to spread partisan hate just shows they are either a teenager who doesn't know any better or are the type of hypocrite that damages this country. Neither party acts right and hasn't in a long, long time. The closest anyone came was Clinton who just wanted to shut people up so he paid off debt with more debt just to make it appear like he did something useful. Unfortunately for the country, partisan hate allowed his base to actually still believe to this day that he helped instead of harmed our chances of economic independence.

So, the reality we have seen so far is that a huge gathering of gun fans ended with no violence. We also know that most municipalities that implement strict gun control become gun havens for criminals. Hmmmm...it's so tough to make a logical conclusion based off of that info...

Well, if he doesn't say that and says there is danger and then no other cases are reported, Dems would go nuts with conspiracy theories and just rely on spreading more hate about how Trump was wrong. I'd rather hear things are going good because, well, it actually coincides with all scientific data right now. I know Dems only agree with science when it's a topic that the GOP doesn't agree with (and vice versa), which is why this can easily be seen as just more spreading of hate.

"Hackstaff said the offer came over Facebook from a person in the acting community she has never met."

Man, if you can't trust an actor on Facebook that you've never met, who can you trust?

""Corrupt Democrats have been exposed as frauds and manufacturers of fake news, now criminally withholding vital relief supplies just so they can cry "Orange Man bad"."

When you make a wild charge like that you should have the decency to back it up with some sort of documentation or not post it at all."

So wait, you and your party want to be able to make any claims you want and even call them facts without any evidence like you do all the time, but you want other people to act right. One could do a search for just one week on this site's comments and show a large number of claims made about Trump that have no evidence or backing. How did this country go so wrong?

"Republicans forever forsake patriotism when they run for office as Republicans. FACT!"

I can't imagine many people care what a racist thinks about the party they don't belong to.

Well, in a better world I would say it's great they left so they can go work on real government issues that better our country...but we know they aren't doing that either so this is just Reps being just as dumb as Dems. Eventually one or both groups will do something helpful and stop wasting taxpayer time and money.

Yep, that's the pinnacle of partisan hate. The hate has gotten so bad that now the party who isn't POTUS is blaming all corruption and political sleaziness on a guy who wasn't even born when it actually started. That is how bad politics have gotten.

"I haven't made any of it up... its there .. just google how leftist promoted sleazy people and behavior."

Just like how Dems gerrymandered so hard. And how they kept separating people into groups so they could make sure everyone is treated differently instead of being treated equal. It's a very valid point. Unfortunately, the GOP didn't see this behavior and say, "Hmmm, we should do something to make it better". All the GOP did was say, "Hold my beer!".

I guess it's telling when DR Libs start running out of sources to spread their hate so they just look to the NY Times and WaPo for all of their articles.

"That Trump has abused his office for personal gain and is unfit to continue to serve.

Something that is obvious to anybody who's not a POS."

And yet, the person he outed for doing the EXACT. SAME. THING. is still running for President and is allowed to by the party who is mad that Trump did it. That's not deflection, that's wondering, if it's so bad that it warrants impeaching the President of the United States, then you would think it's bad enough to stop someone from running who did it too. But, that's just taking the partisan hate out of the picture and wanting what's best for the country so I apologize if I have offended you in doing so.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN

"Neither GDP nor the Dow is a good measure of economic performance."

Here we go with the annual "I'm in a different party so let me find a way to make good things be bad so we can spread hate in order to get more votes."

It's like clockwork these days. I can't even being to count how many of these articles showed up when Obama was POTUS by the Reps who just HAAAAAD to find ways to make the economic recovery seem bad. But, again, it's all about precedent. Once one party finds a tactic that seems to gain traction, the other party does it the next time it's their turn and they find a way to make it even more extravagant and exaggerated.

That's not to say there aren't good points made. It's all just made in the context of hate and not actually meant to be constructive. They don't even wait anymore to mention the hate and put it in the first paragraph or try to hide the hate in the article. These days it's front and center and both parties are proud of themselves for doing it.

Oh, and I really hope he read DR comments because I'm mocking him right now. I'll keep doing it. I'm not sure what the threat is but I'm doing it, what are you going to do? That kind of statement is so weak and shows how weak the person is.

"What might a child who stutters, as I did, feel when they hear a grown-up on a public stage trying to make a bunch of other adults laugh by ridiculing a public figure who also stutters?"

Oh, I don't know, they may realize that life isn't unicorns and rainbows and sometimes you have to be the bigger person and act more adult than even adults?

But I know Libs don't like personal responsibility and logic, so I'm assuming the answer they want to the question is they would feel bad about themselves and consider suicide while they sit in their safe space. Which, unless you are a really really really delusional person, is a very bad way to have to live your life and accomplishes nothing. It's sad Libs have created an environment where kids actually have to be tortured like that instead of learning to grow up, adapt, and manage the world we live in.

"Where are the cancervative schittstains at?"

For what? There is nothing in the article or in the comments up to your comment that mention Conservatives at all. So why would they have any reason to comment here?

Unless you are just trying to spread partisan hate. In that case, um...good job I guess?

It all depends on what race you are. A) If you are white, you are an adult from age 0 and can be blamed for all of society's ills starting at that age. B) If you are any other race, then your adulthood is dependent on the race of the person who commits any crime against you. If that happens, see A.

"Wow Danni, you been waiting to use that racist comment..."

Like "The civil war was only about states' rights" that Dems used back in the 1860s, they use the same subterfuge to hide their own racism and get away with it. What better way to be a racist group than working hard to convince people they are on their side. Now that they have the masses believing it for some reason, they are free to be as racist as they want.

It took her this long to FINALLY stop trying to get votes and cater to her party, and actually help the PR people by following the supply chain and making corrections where necessary. I mean, I guess it's a great tactic to do nothing, just blame it all on someone who has very little to do with actually getting the help to the people so the people turn a blind eye to the person who actually holds that responsibility. There really should be a lot more uproar over this. I've seen leaders like her get fired for a lot less serious issues...

Well, regardless of how dumb the DR headline is knowing it was a sarcastic comment, this is exactly what the conversation should be about and Trump is too stupid to realize it. Infrastructure is the only thing we should be debating about and coming up with answers. This is his partisan hate showing but considering how much dumb partisan hate has been thrown by Libs, it's just more of the same. The worst part though is how partisan hate to counter the partisan hate isn't even correct. It isn't a permanent sea level rise because the same science that proves climate change ALSO proves that sea levels will still vary across the globe. One place might have high levels and then 50 years later the levels will go down and another geographic area has to deal with the rise. A hurricane has nothing to do with the conversation because it can't be attributed to climate change since there is no significant increase in the number of or severity of hurricanes in the last 150 years. So, either way, both sides show how dumb they are.

So what was the context? Were they talking about defense? Was Trump making a statement that at least China's army isn't currently on the India border ready to strike?

Once again, Libs trying to create and spread hate without providing all of the details. But something that Libs HAVE done extremely well during Trump's term is that they have provided a blueprint for anyone with a keyboard to make money. Just type up a story about Trump and release it. If it makes him look bad, you will automatically make lots of Liberal dollars. Doesn't need to be true, or proven, or have any hint of journalistic integrity (or, in some cases, grammatical integrity either), and you will instantly make lots of money. Can't hate Libs or making a dollar, that's for sure.
