You really don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re wrong on everything.
It’s self-evident that the war was badly conceived from the beginning. Was Trump badly advised or did he manage to screw the pooch all on his own?

Life without parole removes the danger from society and is less costly. And wrongful convictions(there are some) can be reversed…
It depends. Some property taxes that are dedicated are distributed as prescribed to a specific purpose. Our neighborhood association was able to set up a security district with a private patrol by voting for a dedicated tax…
It worked…

Well, slavery was a real thing, and it was bad. A movie that depicts it isn’t saying all white people are bad.
There are too many people on this site who would prefer that slavery or Jim Crow never be mentioned…
Don’t know anything about the woman, other than she apparently plays in the WNBA.

Why should we give a shite?
It’s interesting that John Weimer dissented. He’s a sharp guy.
The choices are not inspiring…

Not likely, but we have improved…

You guys are every bit as bad as the so-called racebaiters who claim everything is racist. You’re just the other side of the coin…

Data?

The various Hindus I know are fairly spiritual, and they live productive lives . If anything, they tend to be conservative and raise their children to be good citizens...
They are mostly small business owners or doctors/scientists, etc.

Hardly a threat to America.

So, you're purely "blood and soil"?


That's never truly been America(as far back as the 18h Century)
