new groups policing their own communities always happened here.
if you start to realize a pattern among all new immigrant groups you will see a bigger picture.
also the bigger picture says assimilation eventually will flourish...it starts arithmetically and at some point it happens geometrically.

unfortunately the trump supporters dont care about democracy any more then they care about the climate or science or seperation of church and state or assault weapons or fighting back against russia or a lying white house or corrupt cabinet or totally unqualified people in the cabinet.
they just dont care about anything.
trump calls them folks and they slobber like pavlovian dogs and chase their tails with simpleminded glee.
they actually believe that trump is one of them because he curses or is the ultimate anti authority authoritarian.

This is such a blanket statement and does not describe me at all.

and you would know a blanket statement when you see one.

On 5 we disagree what do you mean? You think Islam and Liberal values go hand in hand and I do not.

Tough for me to opine but I know that EPA employees like in most Gov't agencies are lazy. It needs an overhaul.

I agree with you. They don't.

Do some research on Pruitt and get back to me. He ****** me off.

Also, I am curious. Where do you get most of your news from?

You also stated that you watch LWT with John Oliver which peaked my curiosity.

That is not what a leftist is. Man you are dumb.

You definitely believe the following:

• Capitalism, particularly free-market capitalism, only concentrates power in the hands of a wealthy few, destroying the working-class.
• Companies and individuals will not treat ethnic minorities or disenfranchised groups with respect unless compelled (by regulation or incentive) to do so.
• There are some things (like the environment) too important to trust people with doing, and thus the government must control group efforts to tackle these issues.

And #9 and #10 are 100% LEFTIST views. Bernie Sanders was almost a communist. Definitely a Leftist. The cornerstone of his campaign was that there is massive wealth inequality in the US. 100% a Leftist view. Bill Gates is wealthier than I am. He deserves to be. I should not be entitled to more of his wealth just because.

Early in Sanders' career he had praised the Cuban government for their reforms, including widespread education and health care in Cuba....thats your moderate!!?!? LMAO!

• No
• In some cases, but IDK
• Yes

Bernie Sanders is not a leftist, although closer than I am. And sometimes there isn't. Trump doesn't deserve to be wealthier than your parents, Comrade.

#1) Yes. You are too stupid to see it since you always cry about poverty.
#2) By definition that makes you a leftist.
#3) See #2

Trump has the money and my parents do not. He attained that money legally. He deserves whatever he has. Trump has way less money than Mark Cuban. Does Mark Cuban not deserve the money he has? I mean that is crazy talk.

Instead of vilifying the wealthy we should respect them and try to be more like them IMO.

Woah! I should respect someone because they have more money than me? That is ridiculous in my view. There are a number of rich people who are lowlife scumbags. (yes, there are a number of poor people who are lowlife scumbags too. Face it, there are a number of people who are lowlife scumbags) To say we should respect them because they have money...well, that just stuns me. I respect someone because they are a good person, they trry to do the right thing , they try not to intentionally hurt people. I could give a **** how much money a person have.

No. I am pretty sure I don't change my opinions at all. What opinion have I ever changed?

I think fundamentally we disagree on:

1. I think white privilege is a fallacy. You don't
2. I think institutional racism is long gone. You don't.
3. I think BLM is at worst a terror group and at best a bad idea. You don't.
4. I think BDS is a racist movement. You don't.
5. I think Islam does not work with Liberal views. You don't.
6. I want to keep the Electoral College. You don't.

These are fundamental differences. We may share some social norm views such as pro choice and such but fundamentally we are very different.

Funny, but a large percentage of the people who think white privilege is a fallacy are white. The percentages of blacks and Hispanics who think white privilege is a fallacy is probably a lot smaller.

Bill Cosby is wealthier than I am.

99% of people are wealthier than you.

trump is bragging that he is only a subject of a criminal investigation.

all you need to know - .Mueller cant subpoena him if he is called a target...so for now he is called a subject.
he is also a dangling participle.

obviously there is still a major russian spy in the usa.
give mueller time.

That's all true, dino, but why list only the negatives? Trump also lowered taxes, and not just for himself and his rich buddies. Paul Ryan's secretary is taking home an extra $1.50 a week.

As for Trump bragging that he's only the subject and not the target of Mueller's investigation:

Phil Mudd, who held senior jobs at the FBI and CIA, said the president should be much more worried than he appears to be about what Mueller told his lawyers. “If someone walked into my office and said I was the subject of a multi-year criminal investigation led by [Mueller], I’d wet my pants,” he said on CNN last night in response to The Washington Post’s story.

The above is from an article in the Washington Post that brings all the Mueller stuff up to date.

mueller has to call him a subject for now....once he calls him a target he wont be allowed to force his testimony by subpoena.....and yes ..who says touchdown ..im a subject of a criminal investigation.

Did you see the new episode of The President Show last night? Anthony Atamanuik was terrific as usual; the best Trump impersonator by far. The guest stars were Kathy Griffin as Kellyanne Conway (she was okay, but not in the same league as Kate McKinnon's Conway) and Griffin Dunne (star of Scorsese's underrated 1985 black comedy After Hours), who was good in a black and white dream sequence segment as Mueller.

I know the satire is over-the-top, but I think this show really captures the essence of Trump. You watch this and you better understand "who says touchdown ..im a subject of a criminal investigation."

i heard about it..what network is it on ?

It's on Comedy Central in America.

In Canada it's on the very different -- totally not a copy of Comedy Central -- Comedy Network.
