I didn't want to respond to ewen, but I hope Craig doesn't take the bait. Ewen's not interested in having an honest conversation. Notice how the "using the term racist is totally unwarranted" complaint has fell to the wayside. Like Trump, why not embrace it.

Sinema, in conjunction with a bipartisan group, developed a practical idea to streamline the asylum process by deporting those claiming only economic hardship within 15 days. Although, I personally feel that economic hardship ought to be a consideration in the asylum process it currently is not. Deportation can seem cruel, but it's certainly not as cruel as the conditions of these deportation centers.

Well, could you cheer a spiders demise? Monsters are a key feature in Witcher lore (he's basically a mercenary for monsters), but I don't know how gross the show will be. The video games weren't scary, and only occasionally gross.

Huge fan of the videogame series (but I've never read the books). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSqi-8kAMmM

Who knows what the reasons were that she waited to get her degree. It's especially impressive for any one to go back to school as a non-traditional student and earn their degrees. That you minimize her education demonstrates your out-sized bias here, and as such, it's pointless to discuss this further with you.
-
Her explanation of what she was trying to say is irrelevant to what was said? So you're going to take her words out of context and twist them to mean something disparaging and then get offended by that? Okay then. Surely, if she was supporter of Al Qaeda or wanted to diminish people's reactions to 9-11, there would be tons of evidence of this, and not clips from one video interview. Do you think, one remote interview in 2013, warrants the talk from the president and his followers that she "should go back"? Also this: Who is doing the reinventing? I don't think it's me.

Pretty thoughtful, but I just have to call BS on this one quote from him: I've heard this sentiment from too many. Didn't Trump run on Making America Great Again, which implies that America isn't great. And what has really changed since he's been elected beyond lower taxes and an unsettling immigration policy? The right's sanctimony about patriotism drives me up the wall.

Thank you for the link. Not only does the youtube title miscontrue what she said and meant, you continue to do so. Did you watch the whole video? She's talking about something very complex--just after the 2:00 minute mark she makes the point that when terrorist commits a heinous act we investigate the whole community, but when a white person commits mass murder we investigate just that person and not the community at large. Her laughter is about the irony in the disparate treatment. And she wasn't even talking about "reactions," she was talking about how the professor (and people generally) emphasize proper nouns when speaking about Islam and terrorism and mass murder. I also don't believe this was filmed when she was in college; I'll believe the AP over that it was filmed in 2013.

You are welcome, but when you misconstrue facts, and vilify others, even public figures, without evidence you are going to get called out on it. Getting called out on sloppiness and hatefulness doesn't mean you're not welcome. Those who have done the same (being hateful and sloppy, not simply expressing a negative opinion) about the Republican party get called out too.

For those interested here's what Omar actually said about Al-Qaeda in 2013. Basically, she was calling out a professor for using dog whistles through body language in her class. At no point did she express pride in the group or diminish the US military.

Berrios comes in at #26 on Fangraphs tradevalue. -
I think having Warren and Bernie on stage without Biden or Harris is bad for Bernie; I wonder how many voters Warren can siphon from Bernie.
-
Good! Then I wouldn't worry about being called racist etc. As far as I can tell, no one has even implied such labels to you here.
-
If people are more concerned about how others label them than actually doing the right thing, those people aren't good people. Other people shouldn't have to make it easy or comfortable for you or anyone to do the right thing.
-
Okay, so which group is more civil and open? The one at that rally last night? Is that what you're saying?
-
So you're in line with what happened at that rally last night? And you wonder why race is an issue? It's front and center as part of your boy Trump's campaign.
-
I think he cares more about dissolving the government than dissolving the deficit; cutting taxes provides an excuse to cut spending, and thereby shrink government. The deficit is a smokescreen.
-
Paul and his ilk are against the government generally, either when it taxes or when it borrows. I think he's a fool, whose views if put into practice are akin to anarchy, but his view is not exactly inconsistent.
-
It's not so much about why the flag is flown (I agree it's not always because of racism) but it is that they do it in spite of such obvious (it is obvious, no excuses) racist symbolism. If someone's sense of pride willingly or willfully blindly treads on others' dignity, shame, and fear of violence, I've got no patience for such sentiment. At a certain point--which we've reached in these years of Trump in that we must face the full scope of racism, in all its subtly--in-spite-of blurs into because: apathy to racism may not be as awful as intent to be racist, but it is nonetheless awful, as it enables the latter; indeed apathy is the lifeblood of hate. Just stop giving people a pass (not that you are, but genuinely the sentiment of southern pride does), and really, as we continue to invoke in this thread, hold near like-minded people accountable (which is really difficult to give affect to in our real lives). (And as an aside, keep posting. I really appreciate your tone and thoughtfulness!).

David Schoenfield of ESPN Didn't see this posted, and it seemed somewhat relevant.

No wonder they couldn't afford The Wall!

I think the GOP has just accepted that this is their 2020 game plan. A handful of Republicans have denounced his tweets, but people like Lindsay Graham have doubled-down.
-
You think the label motivated him, as opposed to the actual deplorable conditions?

What the heck does your and your wife's safe haven look like? A bunker filled with pillows?
