@JackPedigo, that was how he got elected! It was and still is Trump on the airwaves 24 hours a day everyday! As any good PR person knows, good or bad, the way you get people to pay attention is have them seeing and hearing you in their sleep. Trump knows PR.

I really do not understand why the Democrats do not try to win the next election rather than wasting time, money, and momentum to make a point.

You don’t not investigate a Mafia Don when you have viable information that could at least expose him for the fraud he is, just because you fear a family war to replace him. You can not allow this Don another year to highjack the Constitution without putting forth an effort to expose him for the traitor he is. Of the few Presidents to undergo an impeachment inquiry, Trump is surely the most deserving.

@Mofo1953, that formalized it for the governments of the Southern States to lay down their arms and rejoin the Federal Government. It doesn’t mean the Southerners stopped mistreating people of color and it doesn’t mean that all the people accepted the surrender as the end of the South as a separate union.

A lifetime of pictures, art work, precious crystal, liquor, expensive furniture and electronics. It was insured and we received some money, but much of the stuff was irreplaceable. Hope the truck wasn’t loaded with your stuff.

Bush was a schmuck, he was just doing whatever Dick Cheney told him. He was goofy, but at heart a decent guy caught up in the Republican neocons war mongering plans. His presidency would have been fairly uneventful if 9/11 hadn’t happened at the start of it. And chances are the wars helped him have a second term.

@linxminx that's why it happens so seldom and has never been successful in removing a president from office. So there is that. It is used primarily as a fact finder by the House, then dies in the Senate. But then if they dig up enough real dirt, he could face trial once he is out of office next year.

@Redheadedgammy, I honestly think it goes beyond that. People who let themselves be abused and turn around and come back for more have a character flaw. And I am not saying that in a detrimental way, because many people have it to some degree, including me and my ex-wife. She has no problem asking me for my help, but I cannot even suggest intimacy without being shut down badly. I am, what an old girl friend called, her “lacking.” And that is what Christie is to Trump. When Trump needs some particular advice that he thinks Christie can provide him, he contacts him and strokes his ego. Once he has what he needs he shoves him out the door until the next time. And Christie has a love for Trump that allows him to put up with it.

Barnie2years replies on Sep 9, 2019:
Yes it was published a while back. This was a criticism thrown at it by a conservative critic. But reading the book and looking at what has happened in many states and the country over the years since, it is easy to see the work of the dominionists in action. They are organized and vote as a block. They run candidates in local elections and state elections. They have passed more anti-women, pro religion laws in recent years than any time since the Red Scare fifties. They are succeeding in turning vast areas of the country into theocratic bastions, and with the help of Trump and the GOP Senate, they are putting a justice system in that will favor religious bigotry for decades. What was true in 2008 I’d just coming into fruition now. The test will be whether the true majority, the non-Evangelicals can stop it and at what cost.

It's not just the media. Instead, it's Republicans who have been gutting unions for decades.
# **Vote Republicans out of office!**
Barnie2years replies on Sep 2, 2019:
Having been a union member for 42 years, I can tell you it's not just the Republicans that have killed the unions. Our own greed and jealousy have contributed in large part, aided by the media and the Republicans. I put the beginning of the end during Reagan's term as president, when the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike. President Reagan bulldozed to Union out the door and the brotherhood of union members? Crickets! No one backed them up, stood besides them and closed up the country (which would have happened in many European countries). The only thing I heard from my fellow transportation union brothers was "they get paid way more than I do, their benefits are much better than ours, why should we care? I'm not going to cancel my vacation to where ever and not fly in protest. Trucking unions didn't refuse to cross picket lines. The only way unions work is with the support of not only all it's members, but of Unionists as a whole. The company I worked for, long before I was there, maybe late 1950's went on strike because their boss refused to accept a legally formed union and bargain in good faith. After long months of trying to get a contract, the Union called for a strike. Not just a general strike! It was honored by Unions throughout the city, trucking unions, postal unions, demonstrations were held, scabs were prevented from going to work at the company, members were beaten by police and spent time in jail (many of them were still working there when I started). They held on and the company was forced to come to the table and bargain in good faith and even when I started in the 70's we were getting good contracts and had good benefits and wages. This is how Unions improve lives of workers, through grit and determination. Most people today are too fearful of losing a few weeks pay, living paycheck to paycheck, to strike for their own benefit, let alone the benefit of workers in other unions, other companies. While I was with the company we went on strike after part of the organization was sold to the a government authority and they were looking to reduce our contract. It wasn't easy and we had little support from the outside, or even many of our members after a couple of weeks, So we settled for far less than we wanted. This is what killed unions. They only work when everyone is prepared to sacrifice to obtain what they want, not because they have any real power besides the power not to work and determination to risk it all to get what they need.

While there was certainly motivation for someone to kill him, that by itself, to me, is not sufficient evidence to conclude that he was murdered. I'm going to wait until there's actually verifiable evidence showing that it was murder (I'm not great at keeping up with the story, so that may have ...
Barnie2years replies on Aug 15, 2019:
That would be the normal thought. But the DOJ was in charge of keeping him safe, and now they are in charge of investigating how he died. The DOJ is being run by people who seem to have only one job: keeping Trump from being investigated and mitigating anything that might be criminal in his past. Making a death look like a suicide is nowhere near a Mission Impossible and having control of the investigation makes it even simpler. DOJ needs to be totally transparent on this and make information available to outside agencies.

My father dropped his membership before I did, mostly because I was a hunter. He hated that they were pushing for greater acceptance of assault style weapons. I realized later that hunting had become secondary to their firearm industry lobby and their desire to completely deregulate all firearms.

Wha is frightening is they are forming alliances to skew elections, especially local ones, towards candidates that are 100% committed to their domination of government. And they have been at it for a generation or more. Gerrymandering has allowed them to control voting in many states and localities. With control of school boards they control the books used and the curriculums of districts. Trump and McConnell are the culmination of decades of hard work on the part of Falwell, Robertson and others in the Christian Right movement. To fight back, the Liberals, Progressives and mainstream Christians have to organize rather than squabble, run electable candidates in local and state elections and be much more aware of what happens in their schools.

No, a fetus does not “have” a soul. That’s putting the cart before the horse. No organism has a soul.

I like the allegory of the Oak tree. We as humans have decided sort of collectively that nothing should die. Not us, not animals, not plants. But nature cannot support the life of every single thing that sprouts or is born, so many must die. That is one of the fundamental tenets of religion, if you must die (yes, you must!) it promises you continuous life, but on another level. For many, it is the only way they can get through the idea of their own limited existence. For Atheists generally, we accept our limited roles on Earth and do our best to leave fond memories of us behind, or for some, just don’t give a shit and enjoy the life you have! 😄

More cops are shot by white males than by any other group. Black Lives Matter are not the Black Panthers. Given the great divide between white and black suspects being shot dead, many unarmed, one would think it would be the other way around. You seem to have your own skin color issues. The only thing Obama did that was “racist” was having the audacity to be elected as president even though his father was a black man. Scared the bejeezus out of the white rural folks! If Obama had done one quarter of the obliteration of laws and standards Trump has done in three years, people like you would have formed a lynch mob.

Barnie2years replies on Aug 6, 2019:
@Matias, perhaps you need to check on why they have far less homicides than us. Their regulations are stringent. If the SCOTUS had interpreted the Constitution as it was written with the words “well trained militia” our laws and rate of homicide might be much lower too. Instead, Scalia and the court decided that free for all armed Anarchy was a better choice.
In any case, we are in my humble opinion way past the point of no return. There are so many weapons out there, both legal and illegal (I know at least three people who’s homes were robbed and weapons were taken almost exclusively, not to mention daily break-ins of gun shops around the country), that any law created at this point will be less than a bandaid. Even the assault weapons ban was toothless since it did not address the millions of weapons already out there. And this number has gone up exponentially since.
That being said, doing something is better than doing nothing. The NRA could help formulate law if it was not owned by the gun and ammo companies. And I am not sure that with the president driving a giant wedge into the political system, any compromise will be obtainable. So we may as well get used to the new reality and hope it doesn’t get worse.

@MsHoliday,The illegal choke hold was the issue. They did not shoot him, or tase him. Had he allowed them to peacefully cuff him as the other photo shows the El Paso man doing, he would be alive. While I am not defending obvious differences in police tactics in arresting white and black people, this one is not it. They were not sure this guy was the shooter, he did not resist and presented no threat unless you have video that can prove otherwise. I am 100% sure that white suspects are treated differently at the start of an arrest and I am convinced that is responsible for so many cops being killed by whites during traffic stops rather than blacks, though I have not been able to come up with that statistic. But violently resisting arrest is not going to help no matter what your skin color or gender.
