Donny playing the Race Card

There is little doubt about Donny Trump's views on race, despite his occasional "denials", assertions of "fake news", and/or his semantic distinctions. His election campaign theme was effectively a promise to …"Make America Great Again - America First and Only" and– to Make America White Again……

racism and prejudice have often been used by politicians over many decades to get elected, playing the "race card" there is now a growing acceptance that playing the race card is an increasingly important and effective political weapon…….sadly we been let down …

People involved in the political process and, more broadly, in civil society, have a clear responsibility to call out racism and prejudice in every instance. As the UN Convention concludes, superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and there is no justification for racial discrimination, anywhere, in theory or in practice.

Vlad is building his own American army. With the GOP's active help.

I've seen that reasoning. They're always so sure that being undocumented is a giant felony on the order of espionage. That's why I like to blow their minds by pointing out that just being here undocumented is only a civil, not criminal, offense, so, technically, they're NOT criminals. Even unlawful entry without papers is nothing more than a misdemeanor, like public intoxication or disorderly conduct.

It's fun to mess with wingnuts' heads sometimes.

The higher learning institution that I attend has a Confucius Institute. It shares an office with the Honors College. Make of that what you will.

I'm sure the Institute paid well for that space. Of course they're going to the most prestigious institutions. I think only U. Chicago has had the most vigorous public refusal.

Considering the Honors College has suffered from budget cuts in recent years, it makes sense.

I don’t think so, but you may want to adjust your technique a little.

She made the job of many a drag queen so much easier. That has to count for something.

In case anyone is wondering what I mean, I think she has a face like a dude!!

Emmanuel Mensah , a hero who died rescuing people from that fire in Brooklyn, was an immigrant. Unless these fucking dickwads are ready to rush back into a burning building to save others, they have no business judging who is or isn't worthy of coming to this country!

It has to be said. I was assured by people very high up in the administration, very important people, that there would be no math.

Just to save time, I've starting assuming every conservative organization in America is filthy with Russian money.

Just for fun, we should start a pool for the Russian outed as funneling money to Right To Life. Per George Carlin, we know it'll be someone completely unfuckable.

I know that doesn't narrow the field much. Or at all.
