It took him so bloody long to just say it!

God it was exhausting.

That's all the sane right has been trying to say
You didn't need to here it from me.

It's the righteousness which has tipped enough people away towards Brexit and trump.

And now the genie or anger is out of the bottle - I suggest the same left need to do some quick dancing slap their extreme elements in shape and recapture the middle ground or it could get uglier.

None of this has happened accidently. Pretending Trump is the worst thing in the world is tantamount to saying everything was just dandy before Trump - all ok.

And that is completely Delusional and dangerous.

And quite frankly from a discourse point of view near 3 months of continuous head explosions is getting dull.

Putin the assassin lol. Naked Trump is a bit off putting but every time Putin nudes up I can't take my eyes off the hunky bastard and I'm hetero. Trump better be a taker.

But my Ivanka Trump picture had a Juanita Broaddrick tag.

It's all the Russians, you say?

When the left marches past reasonableness or falls to extremes: the committee of public safety - in revolutionary France or the politburo in the USSR - it cannot tolerate criticism and condemns not just cultural systems but individuals because they disagree.

When it is in balance - Vietnam war protests, women's liberation movement, workers rights and pay - it tolerates dissent with poise and
Argues the point with equanimity rationality respect. It doesn't play the man - it plays the system. It doesn't need to exaggerate to make its point - its consistent, persistent
And patient - knowing that time will prove it to be right.

It accepts criticism not with anger and condemnation but consideration. Not righteous but humble. Not screeching but persuading, refreshing and most of all challenging.

So when you see a scientist patiently explaining that climate change does exist, and this is why; are you persuaded? Or do you prefer the totally rational Trumpian herp derp, it's all a Chinese conspiracy line?

Well said.

You marched past reasonableness. Way to prove his point.

The scientists I have spoken with don't take your tone are not strident or absolute - they are swing between caution and despair.

They never condemn.

Maybe if you knew about the heavily disproportionate numbers of colored people that fill U.S prisons, then you'd soon change your tune.
Might have something to do with the fact that African-American males make up 6% of the US population yet commit nearly 50% of murders. African-Americans account for 12% of the population yet commit 38% of all violent crime.

Black people are in prison in disproportionate numbers because they commit a disproportionate amount of crime.

And why would that be?....You do realize that many are incarcerated for merely possessing a gram of crack, yeah?
