And this is why Trump has a following. I definitely am glad he is able to do this. He didn't say anything hateful. He didn't say anything that incites violence. He didn't say he didn't like Jews. He didn't say they are bad people. The only thing he said that could be offensive at all is to call people in real estate "killers". Otherwise, all he did was generalize a stereotype, and stereotypes only exist because they have a basis in reality. There is nothing hateful about this. Now, had he said something like, "Because you are Jews, I'm going to treat you differently"...then that's offensive. But he didn't make any statement that alludes to racism or hate in any way.

The day that we are not allowed to say things because we are scared for our lives is the day this country has failed. And the sad truth is that Liberals are making that day come sooner than it probably would anyways.

Crap article from a crap country. If the US had this type of crap in WW1 or WW2, we wouldn't be America anymore. Basically, the article only goes on to say that we tried many things and had many failures. But that's EXACTLY what most wins are based on. There are a very very very very low number of people who made a good living for themselves that can say they didn't try many things and didn't encounter any failures. It's not the failures that determine a success or loss, it's what you do with them.

That being said, there is no loss here. We just didn't succeed. We didn't succeed because we can't do what it takes to succeed. If America wanted to, we could turn Afghanistan into the 51st state and you can be damn sure we would succeed. It would mean WW3 and constant defense but from a military viewpoint, we can easily succeed in 90% of any country conflict we get in to. We just can't do what it takes because today's world is more about image than it is about doing what is right.

"The numbers are produced by the same "deep state" that produced them for Obama. Were they wrong then but right now?"

Uh oh, get ready to be called racist and a Trumpite. You used logic correctly so now the hate has to flow.

"Trump doesn't care about being respected. He wants to be feared."

Well, I'd say that's probably one of the best assessments about Trump. That's how business is done so it's all he knows. And it's a fruitful and tactical way of running the country. The problem is, he has no ability to adapt so once fear gets him where he wants, he lacks the tact to strategize beyond that. If he can't say "You're fired" to something, he can't strategize enough to do anything more.

"HUMTAKE, were you to do so, you'd be the very first Trumpite on this forum to do so."

Funny, I didn't vote for Trump and I haven't supported everything he has said. I even call him deserved names like many others on this site. The only difference is I look at things logically and call out where the logic is good or where it is bad. I don't just take every topic and form an opinion on it based on what party I'm in. This is just more evidence that if you aren't a die hard Liberal and do EVERYTHING like a Liberal wants, then you are a Trumpite according to a Liberal. You basically just enforced almost everything I say in every post. Stop spreading the hate, my friend. Start spreading the recovery instead.

Perspective. The one thing partisan haters lack every term. I've read statements made by the parents of people killed by illegal immigrants who would be happy to give up some liberty for security. Yet the current partisan haters, Liberals, choose to ignore the bad because it doesn't fit their narrative. It doesn't make either side right but it adds enough evidence for any person who isn't filled with hate to come to the logical conclusion that just because one person has one opinion, it doesn't mean everyone has that same opinion and that neither side has the right answer. But, DR Libs will just keep on being hate-filled and try to spread as much hate as they can...all the while asking "Why can't we just get along?" Even a huge member of their party has told them to love everyone regardless of opinion and they STILL demonized her for it. The hate in this country isn't from foreign people, just an FYI.

"Just like school shootings!"

Yep, just like them. It's worth ensuring the education gets out there and school policies and plans are updated accordingly to keep these at a minimum. But the number is definitely nowhere near being a national emergency, and taking our attention away from more serious issues with more serious impacts to the nation is just a "flavor of the month" reaction that the media incites and people with no foresight just blindly follow along. It's like someone wakes up in the morning and reads the first headline and bases their opinions just on that one headline. Then the next morning they wake up and do the same thing. These numbers do not support that type of response.

Just more evidence that partisan people are the bane of any society. If he fights dictators over human rights abuse as he has done with Hong Kong, Liberals demonize him for it. But then if he does things in spite of the human rights issues so amicable decisions can be made, like trade issues, Liberals demonize him for it. Basically, because the person on the other side can't make the world perfect, he is demonized. The only real, relevant question here is why are there people who exist that just want to spread hate. Even the couple of comments on here are proof positive that it doesn't matter what he does, they will hate him and spread more hate because they are in a different party.

Damn. Now every lawyer is just going to come up with the most loosely based argument of DNA for this and criminals are going to get away with anything they want. Would have been better to just keep this a secret.

"He likes seasoned everything, including facts."

Haha, I like that one :-)

But seriously Libs...you are going to let this type of article actually exist without putting the outlet on blast? You are really going to allow this kind of crap to represent your party? I mean, if you are just using silence as admission that this is just who the Democrat party is then fine. Otherwise, this is the type of article either side should condemn virally even if it is their own side who publishes it. This article is as petty as the man they are putting on blast.

But, recycling releases greenhouse gases...enough to harm our planet drastically according to the levels used by the IPCC. Sure, the levels are lower than new plastic construction but just because they are lower doesn't mean they aren't a threat. So recycling may help remove plastics but then we have more greenhouse gases. Pick your poison.

Also, with this much plastic, seems like sea level rising isn't only just because the climate...

How can so many years go by, so many things change, but rhetoric about the economy and job reports haven't changed? If you are on the POTUS side, it's great. If you aren't, then the report sucks. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..........and over and over and over and over.....

"But again, it amazes me that all of Trump's supporters can't answer the simple question as to why events that happened years ago and weren't even a blip on these same people's radar screen became an issue of importance in this moment, to the point that a nation involved in a hot war and whose defense of them has been a consistent, top-down, bipartisan consensus policy are now thrown into question because of actions taken 4/5 years ago involving Hunter and Joe Biden that have ZERO effect in Ukraine or the US today? "

This is so laughable. If there wasn't a "Why didn't people care about this back then" question made at least every month, it wouldn't be American politics. The fact that there are people who ignore all of the other "Why is it so important now" issues and only concentrate on the ones that are drawn on partisan lines is the problem, not the fact that something that was wrong in the past wasn't an issue until it was. I'll give you the same answer that the partisan people give every time this question comes up...Why are you OK with Biden being corrupt and deflecting? It's a shame that both parties are enabled so much by their flock that this never changes.

Wtf? So THIS is what it takes to get Liberals mad about the government misspending taxpayer money? Holy craptastic crapness. You ignore the billions of wasted taxpayer dollars on so many other things but $40k is just crossing the line, huh? I mean, it's true this is a stupid issue and the lady should be forced to spend every cent she's wasted on even asking for the payout but damn, take a freaking look at your priorities.

The issue will never go away as long as we don't give NK everything they want. They see their nuke program as leverage. It's not about anything else. So they will continue to use it as leverage until they either get everything they want or we walk away.

"In July, when Trump urged several Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came," Mayes called Trump's words "wrong and abhorrent.""

AH HA!!!!! Caught you Liberal media hypocrites in the action, which should be enough to cause Liberals to finally leave their party or at least own up to the issue and try to fix it. Only because he's back in the news again, last week we had articles about Zimmerman and I mentioned how it wrongly turned into a racial issue about white people being racist. Yet, the quote above SPECIFICALLY states Trump talked to women of color. Well, congratulations, AOC and Zimmerman are pretty much in the same ethnic circumstance so this proves beyond any doubt whatsoever that the entire Martin issue was not about racism...or at least not about a white person being so racist he felt like shooting a black guy. Sucks when you are proven wrong so many times, isn't it? I mean, I think it would suck enough to leave your party over (which I did many years ago). Time other people start getting the clue that the media is the enemy. The media is not a bastion of freedom that is on our side. They are on their own side...the side of greed and power.

Nope, not about the OP but still nonetheless relevant in the political spectrum.

Oh boy, now we have to listen to the bleeding hearts who live in a fantasy world where they believe they can get 100% compliance. With these numbers being so incredibly low, there is no issue here. The people who go through the incidents should follow the standard law enforcement procedures like everyone else does with any other matter involving possibly illegal actions. But of course the people who seem to not be able to grasp reality will whine and cry like PC babies and force Uber to have to add more costs, thus making their services cost more.

Well, since the article lists only the 1787 law, it stands to reason based on the hate the Liberals have shown regarding the 2nd Amendment and wanting it changed that the Reps have an easy soap box to stand on by wanting the rules to change. I mean, that's IF Liberals don't want to be the nasty hypocrites you have been for the last 3 years. It's funny to watch one party cling so hard to a law that was put in the books in 1787 but have years of recent history fighting another law because they claim it is outdated.

As far as Trump's offense, it is impeachable if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The problem is that pesky "reasonable doubt" problem that America has had for many years now. There have many many more HUGELY egregious offenses made by people that get off because of reasonable doubt. The issue here isn't that Trump is guilty or not, it's that reasonable doubt has caused half of the country to not get the result they wanted. And, if you have been alive for at least 20 years, you know this happens in a lot of high profile cases. Oh, and make no mistake, reasonable doubt is in play here. People want to claim an impeachment hearing is not a product of court proceedings but it is.

"I feel bad for this girl. She's being used as a political pawn by cynical and power-hungry adults."

No kidding. The parents of this girl and any politician who is enabling her need to be put in jail. I understand being tired of being ignored but parading a young girl around as a novelty is sexist and goes against every human right the Left tries to champion.

I wish one day I can love my job enough to say when I'm in my 80s that I'll give up smoking mj for my job. That's crazy. Edibles are there but they aren't the same for a quick head buzz.

Here we go again. Back in 2011ish time frame there was an uproar from Reps that whined about Dems not presenting the Bills they passed. Wtf is it that causes this type of memory loss in partisan haters where they just become complete hypocrites?

Ah yes, the "Hispanic vs. Black that somehow the media was able to spin to a "Racist white people are the problem"" situation. All because this guy did something really stupid but not illegal.

Gotta love 'murica.

They already ruined my world by trying to convince me avocados were going to stop coming in. I'm not believing this fry issue.

The problem is, people say they want compromise but then when a topic comes up, they only want things done their way. This isn't new. People have been saying this for years. But people rarely practice what they preach when it comes to politics.
