    Why does it not surprise me that the extreme lefties support these Antifa clowns? They tried to fucking bomb an ICE facility. Sounds pretty terroristy to me.

    Thank you; I can relate with race being a touchy area being mixed race and from South Africa myself. I find it interesting as hell that all the immigrants that I know who come from racially divided countries see right through the "racist" narrative that the media tries to sling, but the guilty...

    I hope you don't mind me asking; but what race are you? I've been asking all my black and hispanic friends what they think of Trump, just to get an idea of whether the media's claims line up anywhere near that of reality. For the record, if anybody gives a hoot....I've asked 12 black people...

    Or...maybe we should just get rid of the minimum wage altogether and let the free market decide who is worth what. I already know you won't agree with that, but the way UK does things regarding minimum wage sounds pretty dumb to me.

    I'm not heartless, and I'm not blind to reality. I donate very significant amounts of food and money every single week to a couple local food banks precisely because I am a softie on the inside and cannot bear to see people suffer. I also volunteer as a little league baseball coach. Even though...

    No, most people have to work two jobs because they made poor decisions in life that put them in the position to where they can't have a decent job.

    Oh I dunno....maybe because those jobs are meant for young kids / students, not for raising a family on? Part of being an adult is having an adult job and being able to take care of yourself and your family. And there are plenty of social safety nets available to help make sure rent gets paid...

    I honestly don't think we've cared about a balanced budget for quite a long time. It's just how we operate now. And I don't think that is anywhere near as apocalyptic as a lot of people think. We just need to be smarter about the way we are spending our money.

    It has always fascinated me how a certain few things can make us all forget our differences and bring people together...good food, quality alcohol, good music...and sports. So no worries man, I don't look at you as Ellicottraven, my political enemy, I see Ellicottraven, my purple brethren who...

    I'm asking you. How do you know that. What are your sources. You say Breitbart isn't reliable, so I'm hoping you aren't quoting Vox or Salon or other such nonsense.

    I think we're fine with the progressive tax, so long as the increments between each bracket reasonable (a couple percent). I don't mind paying a little more than the next guy if I have the resources to do so. But you're right, it irks me that the bottom 50% pays nearly nothing...and then on top...

    The top 1% already pays over 70% of the country's tax bill; I'd say that they are already paying far more than their fair share. Also, it isn't really as simple as finding loopholes and closing them. There really isn't such a thing as a corporate tax, for example. Companies just pass those tax...

    There's no such thing as a "hate crime" if you ask me. White guy assaults a black guy? That's assault. Black guy assaults a white guy? That's assault.

    Is that a serious question? Yang has no chance...less than no chance. (see "not whatever the latest ridiculous ideas the Dems are pushing for" comment in previous reply). Any voter who is remotely a centrist is going to view him as one of the extremists dragging that party down.

    Only person I could ever vote for in that dumpster fire known as the democratic party is Tulsi. She is one of the few on either side with integrity, and I wouldn't have to worry about questioning her motives...I think she would do whatever she felt is best for the country, not whatever the...

    I read it, and would love to know what specifically was said that is anything remotely similar to anything Trump has ever said. That manifesto was nothing but anti-immigration nonsense.
