https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_the_United_States Affirmative action policies were developed to address long histories of discrimination faced by minorities and women. http://ideas.time.com/2013/06/17/affirmative-action-has-helped-white-women-more-than-anyone/ The whole purpose of Affirmative Actions is to preserve and increase racial disparity. The program has been built with intent to give more privileges to whites, leaving blacks suppressed.
There is a great and popular book out right now by Jordan Peterson called "The 12 Rules of Life", with which you're likely familiar. In it he says, quoting Jung, “If you cannot understand someone's actions, look at the consequences and infer the motive.” We can see the consequences of Affirmative Action but did the initiators of these rules and laws have a motive? Was a law purported to promote equality actually intended to promote resentment and social unrest?
You have a biased and flawed “take” on history. The Dixiecrats were a third party consisting of former Democrats. Which Dixiecrats became Republicans and when ?? What was their record after becoming Republicans ?? If you are thinking of leading with Strom Thurmond you will shoot your self in the foot.
Why did they lie? You think lying to congress is no biggie? And even if it individual actions may be "perfectly legal" it does not excuse the stench of ethical and moral corruption involved. It certainly adds a certain "flavor" to the notion of an on-going information sharing, coordination and collaboration conspiracy between the trump campaign and an adversary of the united states. But I get that Trump thought he was running a banana republic. He has just found out that the time tested institutions of power created by the constitution and generations of great Americans, will only take so much of his nonsense, incompetence and crookedness. The Kharmic Wheel turns.
I use Fox News as a reference point to understand how far to the Right several posters are and feel better knowing that it is a conspiracy fringe brigade not echoed in Congress for the most part.
Why do you assume they lied ?? It’s Obama who used the DOJ to facilitate his banana republic. Eric Holder and his political appointees used prosecution as a political tool. Those same political appointees extended the corruption into the Trump Presidency. Russian Derangement Syndrome is pathetic.
So you have no answers but only response is name calling and insults drivel as shown above. The same is seen everyday in the CNN/MSNBC cesspool.
It wasn't Fox that reported Donald Trump told Cohen to lie and it wasn't Fox that reported a native American activist was being bullied by racists when we now know, for fact, that both of those were left wing fake news stories. Maybe we can get a story about how Michael Cohen traveled to Prague to collude Russia? Or how Don Jr. received vital information about a wikileaks hack before it ever came out.....oh.....except CNN gave the wrong date and it was public information AFTER the hack? Or how Brian Ross and ABC reported that Trump told Michael Flynn to go meet up with the Russians during the campaign? Or how CNN reported that Scaramucci took up a secret meeting with a Russian banker during the campaign? Or how it was reported that Mueller was going to subpoena records with Deutsche Bank that was going to have damning evidence against Trump? Or how the Washington Post reported that the Russians were hacking the U.S. Power grid to help Trump out? Or how MSN reported that Manafort had secret notes with the word "donations" written on top after a special meeting with a Russian lawyer at the Republican National convention? I could go on and make this list 200 items long. These are all fake left wing news that your ilk have taken and run with. Every day it's some new smoking gun. And every day those turn out fake, exaggerated, or nothing. It's got to suck being a leftist and to get duped like this. Ouch.
Please enlighten us with your comparison. What has Trump done that compares to Rotten Ronnie's atrocities - or even Obama for that Matter ?
Given the content above I have to give full credit to @Nemesis for nailing that "untethered to reality" observation.
And why was CNN at Roger Stone’s house early in the morning to film the 29 member heavily armed SWAT team arrest Stone who was so dangerous and so much a flight risk that he was free within hours on a signature bond?
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...elony-arrests-and-convictions-as-of-9-17-2018 Nixon ended up with 55 members of his administration convicted of crimes. Reagan ended up with 26 members of his administration convicted of crimes. Obama ended up with ZERO members of his administration convicted of any crimes. As of last September the BLOTUS regime has had 35 indictments and 7 convictions. You can Cohen's Moscow plea deal and now Stone's indictment to that list and all of that in just 2 short years.
This is patent nonsense for a number of reasons 1) 28 on the Trump list are "foreign Nationals" .... How are these folks part of the Trump admin 2) Comparison just based on the number of people convicted (by a kangaroo court) and not taking the crimes into consideration is a joke - nor does it take into consideration crimes committed under the administration for which no one was convicted.
You are entitled to your opinion however there is zero evidence of any "kangaroo court". Furthermore there are still a great many other investigations still ongoing into the other members of the BLOTUS's criminal cabal that have nothing to do with criminal activity during the campaign. The factual data provided in the link currently places the BLOTUS in 3rd place since the Nixon era and I have no doubt that he will be in 2nd place before this term is over. Overall it is hard to dispute that the BLOTUS's regime has taken corruption to never before seen levels.
