Kevin McCarthy, this is how a spineless enabler rationalizes racist speech.

Wow. A seemingly reasonably rationale piece from a right leaning media outlet. This must be serious. 😑
t1nick replies on Jul 16, 2019:
May be a piece of seemingly rational work, but what it is is a diversionary tactic. Instead of discussing Trump's apparent racism, he diverted by vilifying the Democratic Party as Socialist. We are talking about four Congresswomen out of over 200+ Democrats in the House and Senate. Its a cowardly pivot and a discraceful lack of intestinal fortitude.

White privilige is not an incurable disease like uterine cancer. Neither is willfull ignorance. It can be cured through becoming informed about how it manifests, how and who it impacts, and how you can change within your sphere of influence, that is if you even want to.

So what if they occurref prior, and they weren't affairs. They were unwanted sexual advancements and abuse or out right rape. With the exception of Stormy Daniels and the Playboy bunny, he is a sexual predator. This all reflects on who he is as a person.
And no, nothing JFK or Bill Cliton did comes even close to Trumps indiscretions. A cigar in the vagina of an intern in her twenties is distasteful, but not of the Trumps magnitide.
JFK's indiscretions were consensual, but immoral because he was cheating on Jackie while still in office. Neither are excusable, but still pale against Trumps.

What he says is irrelevanf. He's a proven liar, so to say he says that he welcomes immigrants when its written and on the telepromter to head off public recrimination is laughable. His actions and his words when he's unscripted directly contradicts his teleprompter deliveries.
The fact that he has taken the most painfull and inhumane actions to deal with immigration on the southern border when he has had more humane options available to him over the last two years.
I disagree that there is any larger failings and failures than Trump's moral turpitude. It reflects on our world standing, the moral lessons we teach our children, and the very fiber of what America stands for. The world can longer trust us as a nation to actvresponsibly and morally in wirld crisis.
I am not naive. Every Administration has had their failings and less than tasteful episodes. But not to the degree of this Administration. Sorry I just can't agree with you.

Play up. What hole are you living in. No other president even comes close to the full range of odious behaviors as Trump. 17 women accusing Trump of similar behavior, too many coincidences to ignore. He's lied over 10,000 times publically since taking office. What good is any denial on his part. He's a pathological liar and narcissist. To defend him or his actions speaks to a moral failing on your part.

Nobody has been as unethical, immoral. and odious as Trump in the office of the Presidency. Clinton and Kennedy has moral deficiences, but still acted on behalf of the country. not their own bank account.
There is absolutely no moral or ethical grounds for which Trump can be defended. It would take a complete suspension of all that is rational and ethical to defend this suspension. And if we've come to this as a country, then we deserve to fail. Fortunately, I do not believe the majority of people are as morally bankrupt as Trump and his supporters.

Character counts. It has elevated the US in the eyes of the world. To say that, "We elect a president and not a priest," is a crock of crap and a weak excuse for defending Trump.
Obama was made lame duck due the overt actions on the part of Mitch McConnell, the Tea Party, and the Freedom Caucus. Obama and his Administration did not have a single scandal his entire eight years. He made mistskes, but he and Michelle were paragons of morality and propriety compared to any Republican that served at the same time as his Administration ( before you raise McCain as an example, talk to the Native Americans in Arizona).

t1nick replies on Jul 14, 2019:
Sorry I disagree. Trump is racist and misogynist. It is about stoking the division in the Democratoc Party and feeding his supporters red meat. He works by divisiveness and dividing people. Trump's entire adult history is a story of racism.
From redlining blacks to deny them opportunity at renting in his buildings.
By hiring undocumented immigrants to work on his properties and underpaying them less than their work is worth.
By blackmailing the undocumented aliens he's hired to work extra long hours without pay, under threat of reporting to ICE.
To promoting a cruel policy at the border to punish children in order discourage further immigration.
All these charges have been substantiated and proven. He is a white supremicists and any attempt to deny that is an act of denial.
Damn right its about racism. His father belonged to the KKK, it runs in the family.
If these actions were the only method available to the Administration that would be different. At any point over the last two years he could have made a multitude of other choices and not have to travel this course. Two years ago, the Senate and House offered up a bill to address illegal immigration and DACA. And after promising to sign a bi-patrisan bill he walked away. His choices are both deliberate and purposrful. He chooses to the most difficult, cruel, and inhumane path. He could have made less drastic choices at any time. If his motivations aren't racist, then George Wallace was a saint.

The article states that immigration is increasing , not decreasing. At the present that is true. But her article is misleading.
Immigration across the US's border was highest in the late 1970's and early 80's. At that time the Mexican economy had completely tanked. There were no jobs, so Mexican males made up the bulk of the immigrants from Mexico. They were emigrating in order to find work to support their families. With NAFTA and Clinton, the economy in Mexico improved and immigration significantly decreased.
The situation today is decidedly different. The emigres today are entire families, men women, and children seeking to flee unbelievable violence and poverty. They are fleeing societies and economies run by drug cartels and paramilitary groups that we helped create by our meddling in their politics and economic structure.
Yes, immigration has picked up and increased, especially since Trump took office. But it has a totally diffetent structure than 20 plus years ago.

We are not disagreeing. We are actually on the same page. Reading is a skill and one that is learned. The more you practice the better you become. The same is true for writing, math, and public speaking.
I willing to bet, and I could be wrong, but I bet that your household had resources and materials available to you when you taught yourself to read. There was most likely some reinforcment within your family structue to nurture your intetest in reading. just as you are providing for your son.
This is not true in many families. Absentee parents (many times unavoidable) or parents who see it easier to not argue with their child and instead let them be entertained and babysat with video games.
The standardized testing is insufficient to truly evaluate the intellectual ability of any student. It was a tool designed to provide a simple method for politicians to attach a number to a school and put that number on an imaginery scale in order to dole out funds.

If I want hot coffee instead of my usual iced coffee, I make a Turkish coffee. I used to make a great Spanicopita. Havent in a long while.

That definition is too general and does not take into its relationship to the scientific process. In the hard sciences; physics and chemistry, the definition is as I stated above. Your definition is the lay definition and is wrong in its generalization. The word theory is used inappropriately about 95% of the time. Its used when what is meant is hypothesis.

t1nick replies on Jul 11, 2019:
The word "theory" is a much maligned and misunderstood word. In the majority of cases when people dismiss or use the word theory, they really mean hypothesis. A hypothesis is an unproven explanation that is in the process of being taken through the scientifc process to determine its validity.
In the hard sciences, a theory is equivalent to a scientific fact with the caveat that scientific knowledge is dynamic and can be modified as technoligy becones more precise and allow for increased precision and accuracy.
In the hard sciences a hypothesis does not become a theory until it has been offered up for independent verification by peers, has been subsequently tested and verified through experimentation multiple times.
Consequently as a result of the experimentation there are thousands, if not millions of data points of data that point to the results as the best explanation for the phenomenon.
Therefore, to offhandedly dismiss a theory as "just a theory" is to suggest an inaccurate understanding of the scientific process. Theories are not assigned this designatory in the hard sciences lightly. Behavioral Sciences are less discrimenating with the terminolgy.
I offer up my credentials for this discussion as I have degrees in both fields and have taught Science for 30 years.

Aspirin – indigenous Americans have been using willow tree bark for thousands of years to reduce fever and pain as were the peoples of Assyria, Sumer, Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. When chemists analyzed willows in the last century, they discovered salicylic acid; the basis of the modern drug aspirin.

@Bigwavedave I agree with focusing on an income inequality foci. But in order to address that issue with any chance of success, marginalized communities need to be mobilized, as they are grossly underrepresented in the poles. Galvanize them and get them energized to show up and you stand a chance at addressing the disparity.
I agree with your assessment of Obama. Unfortunately he went out of his way to appear not to address race related issues until Ferguson. After that he couldnt. The detractors that accuse him of being racist are idiots and have no concept of context or social awareness. Most are defendants of the ststus quo and white privilege.
