I know what you mean, Candace Owens and Ayaan Hirsi Ali face the same kind of criticism due to their colour and gender. We can name names.

haa haa ha it's a thread on US politics, so why wouldn't we talk about Democrat candidates? Who died and made you the guy who decides what we talk about?

doesn't look like AOC is very happy with Uncle Joe's climate plan. Is this going to cause dissension in the Democrats?

Remember 2010? One game I went to Buck had Aaron Hargreaves, Brock Ralph and Jamayel Smith (who?) starting at receiver. How far we have come.

I think that it was condescending of the bank to lecture people on how to manage their money, but I also think that trying to score political points with this tweet was kind of silly too. Both sides were pretty lame. I don't know what wage stagnation has to do with this at all. Raising wages doesn't stop people from wasting their money (not saying all people do this), they just waste more of it. That being said I've got friends who work in banks and credit unions, and they see what people waste their money on every day, and it's pretty frustrating for them when they have someone on the other side of the table spending $100 a month on Spotify and other online social media memberships, but can't make their mortgage payment. Lecturing them about how if they stop having five Starbucks a day, that it would probably help them make their mortgage payment easier, might wake a few people up, but it's a personal responsibility issue at the end of the day. A lot of people would prefer excuses for why they are living cheque to cheque rather than give up their daily spend on comforts. Read the Wealthy Barber sometime. The first thing he says to do is to track every dollar you spend for two months. He says few people who do this do not end up amazed at how much they spend on micro-purchases in a month.

I saw that tweet awhile ago, and had the exact opposite reaction.

Warren Moon was amazing. I of course despised him at the time as he was with the Eskimos. But man was he good.

Yeah I know I was there at the pre camp and saw it first hand. Brandon was there too.

I thought that was Hackney?

Cillizza: You've noted on Twitter that Democratic voters care much more about health care than impeachment. And yet, there's still an active debate in Congress about whether to seek to impeach Trump. Why? Anzalone: My main point is that Americans are very divided on impeachment and it has become a political football that gets in the way of a strong Democratic message on health care, economic opportunity and the environment where we win elections. I feel Democrats in Congress are playing into Trump's hands here. Trump's oxygen is keeping this controversy going and we are taking the bait. I think we should be holding hearings on restoring what has been taken away from ACA and improving it, which could help people today. I think we should make just as much noise in Congress on health care and economic opportunity issues (minimum wage, skills training, education grants, etc) as we do on Trump/Barr/Mueller/Impeachment. My problem is the proportionality of it all. We are drowning out our own core strengths and strengthening Trump's political hand and exciting his base on an issue that Americans don't have any stomach for. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/politics/democrats-primary-2020/index.html

you should let the kids in Colorado know that.

only reason for what?

From the article I posted. This sounds like something that should be implemented all through the US.

start with this: Why did the kids walk out of the vigil? What are they saying is the real problem? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/09/colorado-school-shooting-vigil-students-walk-out-protest/1150282001/

yes. Great viewpoint. And so while I am not opposed to gun control, it's easy to say it, but hard to implement. Clearly the kids in Colorado have heard enough about gun control, and would rather focus on the root cause of why two kids decided to come to school with an intent of killing their classmates.

facepalm

you got that right. Ignoring students crying out for help with mental health issues in the name of partisanship is extremely gross. Both the Dems and the Repubs need to get their heads out of the asses, and look at the real problems here.

you can tell me you don't agree with me, but calling me "gross" and a "veiled racist" is just disgusting. How do you even sleep at night? how are you still allowed to post here after stating such awful filth? You really need an outlet for all of this anger you clearly are repressing, and I'm not it.

Rob Schneider criticizes tech giants, progressive Democrats over 'Orwellian nightmare of censorship' Comedian Rob Schneider called out big tech firms like Facebook and Twitter as well as progressive Democrats for promoting an “Orwellian nightmare of censorship.” The “Real Rob” star took to Twitter on Saturday to respond to a tweet highlighting Poynter’s recently scrapped list of “unreliable news” sources that was accused of targeting conservative outlets. “We are in a real world Orwellian nightmare of censorship. Be careful who you label and smear today. You will be the smeared tomorrow,” Schneider wrote. Soon after, he followed up the tweet with a similar message on censorship that directly criticized progressive Democrats. “Just bizarre. Progressive Democrats, who once stood for Civil Rights, Liberty,Free Speech now stand for censorship & removing parent rights,” he wrote. The following day, Schneider tweeted his thoughts on the recent move by Facebook to permanently ban several far-right figures and organizations including Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Infowars host Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, and Milo Yiannopoulos, for being "dangerous.” Twitter has made similar moves against Jones and far-right personalities in the past. After retweeting posts by journalist Sharyl Attkisson on the tech giant’s latest move, Schneider shared his personal thoughts on the matter. “Free Speech is ALL SPEECH! The UK and Australia don’t have protected speech. And we are not protecting our 1st Amendment. #EternalVigilance,” he wrote. Schneider concluded his Twitter tirade with a quote from Noam Chomsky on selective censorship. “As America’s greatest linguist Noam Chomsky says,’Free Speech is ALL SPEECH. You’re either for ALL of it or NONE of it.’ (Emphisis 4 dummies),” the star wrote before sharing a photo of the quote he was referencing. The quote reads: “Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”

and here we go again with the nonsensical bullying. Shame on you. This is what's "gross", this kind of nonsense.

You really need to start reading posts before responding with this kind of silliness. As I said, both parties are to blame, for not focusing on the real problem. And if you don't think mental health is an issue, perhaps you should take that up with the kids in Colorado who booed the Democrats and walked out. Instead of partisanship, look at the flawed beliefs of both parties. As I said, take it up with kids who were actually victims of a real school shooting. They don't care about politics or "orange man bad, Dems good". They just care about survival.

why does Joe Thornton deserve anything? Just because he's played a long time and made many many millions of dollars?

as that story clearly indicated, it's not all just about the NRA. The Democrats don't appear very interested in the mental health issue surrounding these shootings, and just want to focus on taking away guns. The kids in the school got mad when two Democrats showed up and started preaching gun control rather than mental health, and they got up and left the auditorium. The kids involved in the shooting appear to have some serious mental health issues, and that part seemed to be totally ignored by the politicians who attended the vigil.

Students are getting sick of being used as political props by both parties.
