    Yes, but ever so slowly ... and the important thing to remember is the youth of Gorsuch, and the health of Ginsburg. The SCOTUS pendulum swings slowly indeed.

    This is simply not true.

    Extremists will support whomever they feel is closer to their ideals. Keyword, they. Their opinions and feelings are typically wrong. Left extremists voted for Hillary, for example. And just because a communist or socialist votes for Hillary doesn't make Hillary either of those two things.

    the Black Panther party, a well known racist organization, showed overwhelming support for Obama. Do you also think Obama is racist?

    We're not at war with Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq or Afghanistan.

    Trump can't control who voted for him and in all honestly, I can see how even the kkk and neo-nazi's were too ashamed to bring themselves to vote for Hillary like many democrats.

    I asked for proof. What you've given is nothing more than a lawsuit in which he was never found guilty. I've been accused of being a lot of things that I'm not. The housing "discrimination" he actually did do was against income. And that's not against the law nor is it discrimination. Have you ever been asked to do a credit check before you rented an apartment?

    Anyhow, if you look through the lawsuit you'll see that the buildings he was accused of denying minorities was actually occupied by minorities. It was somewhere around 5% of the tenants that weren't white. And, if you go further and look at the demographics of where these buildings were located you'd see that the 5% minority occupancy wasn't out of the norm.

    He never admitted guilt; there's a difference. There was nothing wrong with the references provided; on the contrary she was considered the perfect tenant-before they found out she was black, of course. You can't spin your way out of this, but you're welcome to try.

    Tell that to the US troops in Afghanistan and the family of the boy killed in Yemen a couple of days ago. Or the thousands of Syrians begging to live in your house.

    Indeed; the US selling arms to Saudi Arabia implies complicity in the carnage in Yemen.

    I can also tell it to the family of the 8 year old girl shot by US special forces in Yemen.

    Where is the declaration of war?

    Why not post the entire quote? Looks like you're the one spinning.

    Donald Trump was 17 years old at the time of this allegation.


    As for the suit in 1973, again, nothing came of it. It was a he-said/she-said thing and Trump was never found guilty nor did he pay any monies.

    Well....maybe not "declared", but we have dropped 1000's of bombs in each of those countries over the past year. Play semantics if you want, but I'll stick to reality.

    And again - instead of a mature conversation about issues we have sidetracking into juvenile name calling

    For once, we agree. Democrats have fallen to a point that all they ever do is pander to minorities and insult their political opposition.

    Ok, now that was funny... :roflol:

    I have and forever will be against these absurd Drone strikes. It's ridiculous. But no, we are not in a state of war with these countries. That's reality.

    Our government is operating as a rogue state, sending in enforcers to assassinate political opponents.

    That isn't war.

    It's cowardice.

    And as Blinky Pelosi would remind us, some categories are more equal than others.

    *they're

    It's funny that as bigoted as your own views are, you would resort to calling someone else a bigot.

    Any point in pointing out to you that your made up "Joe Bigot" quote doesn't even qualify as bigotry? Maybe a little less intake on the propaganda, and a little more independent researching next time, k?

    They also endorsed Hillary Clinton. You know, it's bad for your character that you guys never bring that up when you try to bury Trump in the KKK endorsement talk.

    Iraq- At War
    Afghanistan- At War
    Syria- At War
    Yemen- At War
    Lybia- At War


    America is heavily involved with both conventional and non-conventional means. We are at war in those countries.

    Your denying the truth won't work.

    The neo-nazi Daily Stormer and white supremacist American Freedom Party both officially endorsed and support Donald Trump, having never before officially endorsed and supported a major party nominee. No extremist organization officially endorsed or supported any of Trump's many GOP opponents for the nomination, nor Obama, nor Clinton, Saunders or O'Malley.

    That's right... And it don't matter that 40 or so years ago, Obama was running with Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist that has appeared on the FBI's wanted list.

    No, we aren't. We are engaged in precision striking to eliminate targets.

    We are in assassination business over there.

    We are not at war with them.

    Are you implying that the New Black Panther Party isn't extreme and/or that they didn't support Obama?

    As a former Marine who has friends that have been to or are still in all of those countries... fighting a war... I disagree.

    This is all public knowledge and refusing to either accept the facts as I wrote them won't change reality.

    Operation Inherent Resolve

    War in Pakistan

    Look'em up
