The longest running African American holiday is for whites people? What are you talking about?

By 1990 she was a deputy DA. You think she was moonlighting as a prostitute four years after that? Fucking idiot.

We knew it was likely. Until the decision is passed we don't know.

We knew the hurricane was likely but we didn't know for sure until it hit so I don't why you're complaining that we didn't prepare.

What?

Meanwhile, Sanders, Trump & their stans, continue to focus their efforts on white (working class) men

WTF does even mean?

There have been numerous people sentenced to death who were later found innocent.

Cacti have been booming in popularity for a few years. I think people being home made it easier to care for plants that actually need attention

What country has “millions and eons” of parties? What makes you say third parties never work? What makes them flawed?

That's not what was suggested. The host was contrasting the willingness of McConnell to kill terrorists but not to impeach Trump even though McConnell has said Trump incited an insurrection.

Notice how your article doesn't have a full quote or video? It's because what was said doesn't match the headline. Here's a more complete quote:

“We had a policy, and it was very controversial, it was carried out under the Bush years, and under the Obama years, of attacking terrorism at its root. Of going after and killing, and in the case of Anwar al Awlaki, an American, a Yemeni-American, with a drone strike for the crime of inciting violence, inciting terrorism. Mitch McConnell was in the Senate then. He was in the Senate after 9/11 too. How does Mitch McConnell, who understands that the way you root out terrorism, is to take on, in the case of Islamic terrorism, kill those who incite it. How does he not vote to convict someone that he said, on the floor of the Senate, incited an insurrection?”

Oh look it's the quote taken completely out of context flavor of the week!

So a troll on Reddit means the left wants every republican dead?

Can you PM me the account as well?

Trump is holding an approval rating that is near or above Obama’s at the same point of their presidency

What poll are you getting this from? Because 538 shows Obama consistently above Trump

Is there a logic behind the order of states listed?

White would stand out very sharply against the camouflage colors.

Not OP but this a hobby of mine as well. The biggest thing is loving food. The more you learn about its history the more you know what's going on in your kitchen. You can learn a lot about it as you read recipes. Lots of recipes for really old and traditional dishes come with a bit of back story of how it came to be that something was eaten or how the original recipe/process has changed out of need or convenience.

45 million dead in 4 years from his Great Leap Forward is an argument for communism?

IAmSteven

There's a big gap between the Soviet Union's form of Marxist-Leninism with it's Five Year Plans and government control of production and ownership and the democratic socialism of Sanders. If you wanna attack Sanders for his left wing ideas, there are plenty of solid arguments but don't pretend he's going to call for government take over of every business.

If you are walking around in a strange neighborhood

Martin was living in the neighborhood with his father

some community resident stops and gets out of their car, do you actually feel an urge to attack them and try and beat them to death?

You make it sound like Zimmerman happened to be walking down the same street as Martin and was attacked without provocation.

We can quibble with Martin's use of "creepy ass cracker." Maybe he wasn't gay bashing.

He wasn't. The ass in creepy-ass is used the same as it is in bitch-ass, old-ass, bad-ass. I never thought I'd have to argue this point.

Maybe he was just being racist and attacked a Hispanic mistaking him for a white man.

And Zimmerman was racist for assuming a young black male in a hoodie was a criminal.

You still have a long way to go if you hope to justify this unprovoked assault upon a stranger.

Again, Zimmerman provoked the attack by following Martin in his car and then running after him.

Even if you feel completely justified violently attacking people merely because they get out of a car

This was by all accounts not what happened

in America we're pretty lenient when it comes to keeping accent marks, particularly in everyday writing.
