  1. Farrakhan is a reactionary black nationalist who has strategized often with reactionary white supremacists who share his priorities, namely racial separatism. He and his followers within the Nation of Islam espouse a philosophy of liberation rooted in religious fundamentalism, capitalist self-sufficiency, ethnonationalism, and a retreat into patriarchal family structures. That in Farrakhan’s case these values were forged in response to white racism does not make them any less conservative.

    I'll bet you tell your kids that the gifts they get your for Christmas suck.

    Look, if the GOP wants to hammer the message that the economy is great and all you whining workers should just know how good you have it, by all means. Almost like they've forgotten the rage that lead to people voting to "burn it down" just two years ago.

    And yet, nothing in my post was inaccurate.

    I remember when you guys use to care about this stuff too.

    I dont think the issue was the substance of the request or whether or not we agree with Graham. Its the fact that a member of the legislative branch is personally trying to influence the SCOTUS Chief Justice to rule in a manner that satisfies him.  You get that right?

    “69% think Congress ought to investigate the origins of the Justice Department's inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including 76% of Democrats, 69% of independents and 62% of Republicans.” 

    I love how the Trump fanboy club is giddy over an investigation into what prompted the DOJ to begin investigating the Trump campaign. Not sure its going to turn out exactly as they think....

    The fact that people here are debating whether or not Trump would peacefully leave office, shows the level of delusion present. Come back down to planet Earth people. 

    He threw a tantrum and accused the left of voter fraud and illegal voting in the 2016 election because he lost the popular vote. And that's when he won.

    I hope you all realize what the net outcome of these hearings and this report is.  Most of America is not following this anymore.  They understand that Mueller's report says there was no collusion and that's where their brain turns off.  In the bulk of American's minds and especially the non-lawyers, they don't even flinch at the Obstruction question because they don't care.  Since there was no collusion who cares if he tried to derail the investigation or fire Mueller.  Trump did not do what he was accused of doing by his political opponents (Dems and NeverTrumpers) and the Press.  So anything beyond proving he or his team actively conspired with Russians, nobody cares.  Graham is right.  He'll get his punishment when he gets blown the fuck out in Nov 2020 (assuming Bernie is not the nominee....hi BT)

    Love the new GOP standard: "short of actively conspiring with foreign governments to win an election, who cares?"

    I missed the part where I said anything about police brutality towards black men. You have no idea of my thoughts on that. They’re two separate issues. You’d do best to try not to read other posters minds and just go off what they’ve actually posted. 

    Apologies for assuming that an ardent Trump supporter would be anti-BLM.

    Some folks feel that while they personally are called to help others as Christians, that does not mean they should force others who believe differently to do so through the government. Taking something from another person is still theft even if you intend to give it to the poor. Doing so by means of governmental threat is no different in their eyes. It's basically another form of legislating morality, which plenty of people rightfully bag on some christians for.

    What a load of horseshit.

    MAGA!

     

    So what? This is a free market after all. Just take your business to the company that didn't jack up the prices? What's that you say? There are no companies like that? Well what's stopping you from creating your own washing machine company? Its a free market, after all.
