Go Liz!!!! This should be a fun ride Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device oh i agree, the longer she’s in there and the more camera time she gets, the better for the GOP. that primary is going to be an absolute freak show, will like like the ‘cantina scene’ from the first Star Wars movie.

Ditto Bernie. Then there's Gillibrand, the tobacco company attorney, yes let's elect a cigarette company mouthpiece. Kamela Harris has a chance. Biden could not lose. Nebe 02-10-2019, 04:39 PM I’d vote for uncle joe.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device scottw 02-10-2019, 06:13 PM Biden could not lose. "gropin' joe" ? I don't like his chances Jim in CT 02-10-2019, 08:24 PM "gropin' joe" ? I don't like his chances I don't think Biden would stand a chance in the primary (unless it's him against 10 indistinguishable communists who all split the radical leftie vote), but I bet he'd win 40 states in the general. The democratic party at the national level, is a million light years to the left of where it was in 2008. They don't want Biden, and they hate the CEO of Starbucks, who is a liberal democrat, but closer to being a Republican than he is to the rest of the democratic field. It's an absolute freak show.

Everyone else is unlikely to beat Trump. Nebe 02-10-2019, 09:00 PM He’s white and he’s a dude.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device scottw 02-11-2019, 05:46 AM It's an absolute freak show. this is because...while the demcrats often whine about certain questionable characters and whack jobs that end up in races for republican seats...the democrats actually elected their questionable characters and whack jobs to positions of power....the democrats side of congress is essentially an insane asylum :laugha: The Dad Fisherman 02-11-2019, 06:28 AM Screw it, go all in.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Jim in CT 02-11-2019, 07:13 AM I’m not sure Jim understands anything about any parties at this point Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device one party likes the policies that have led to low unemployment, high gdp growth, wage growth, good stock market returns and record low unemployment among blacks. the other side not only supports, but literally celebrates the killing of babies until the moment of labor, and signed into a deal that would guarantee a living wage to those able but unwilling to work, and thinks we can get to zero net carbon emissions in 12 years, and retrofit every structure in the country with green energy systems. That’s the difference between sensibility, and childhood fantasy. it’s good to shoot for the stars. it’s less good, to claim you have the plan to be able to touch them tomorrow, when the science and math are so far disconnected from reality. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device DZ 02-12-2019, 08:59 AM It will be difficult for Warren to get past this. It's one thing to try and gain an advantage by lying once - but it appears she has a pattern of lying about her heritage to gain a competitive advantage. The best I can see is that she is positioning herself for a possible cabinet position should the Dems win the Presidency. Nebe 02-12-2019, 09:15 AM It will be difficult for Warren to get past this.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device I can see your point - but it certainly appears that she only has a very tiny, tiny, bit of indian heritage - certainly not enough to call yourself "American Indian" on an application where being American Indian can gain you a competitive advantage.

My own personal family history is pretty interesting and how would I know it is true or not ?? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device If your Dad got drunk and told you that you were a descendant of Royalty then my guess is you would not be walking around wearing a crown. Then you have Pocahontas who used this folklore to milk every competitive advantage possible and try to cut the line on multiple occasions. Is she really supposed to be smart? I guess it’s just bad judgement but that’s not a crime. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device nightfighter 02-12-2019, 10:40 AM My own brother did something similar to gain an advantage.... He put "other" as opposed to "white" on his application to that Ivy League college in New Hampshire. He got in.... And I can assure you it was not because of his grades... They were fully expecting a black kid from the north shore of Boston to check off a box in their demographic. The alumni that came to meet with him, after the acceptance, gave it away with her initial reaction..... And forty years later he still identifies as a graduate of that school. So do the ends justify the means? Or is it a telltale signal of whether someone is going to be a rule follower instead of chiseler? I have my own opinion.... Jim in CT 02-12-2019, 12:42 PM we don’t know what she was told, or what she believed. if she believed it, it’s not a lie. but when she said she never used her heritage to gain professional advantage, that is a lie Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Nebe 02-12-2019, 12:44 PM I can see your point - but it certainly appears that she only has a very tiny, tiny, bit of indian heritage - certainly not enough to call yourself "American Indian" on an application where being American Indian can gain you a competitive advantage. It's a stretch to believe her. You can’t admit she has Indian heritage and then rally around the fact that she lies about it. For the record, I would not have claimed I was American Indian based on what she has said, but under no circumstances do I doubt that she lied. There’s a distinct fact missing when people call her out in lieing. She has simply exaggerated the truth.

Harvard even has formally rebuked the accusation that it was even a factor in her hiring. She’s got one hell of a resume that has zero to do with this issue.

But let's call her what she is. A disgusting, hypocritical liar. She attacks banks for profiting from student loans, but it was OK for her to make 400k a year at Harvard. She attacked banks for profiting from subprime mortgages, but she and her husband made money flipping houses. She can profit this way, but no one else is allowed to. That's OK with Spence. It wasn't a "stupid" lie, it was done for a very specific reason, and from her perspective, it worked like a charm. She got rich at Harvard. But other rich people, not her naturally, are bad. She would get creamed by Trump. Not only is she not a Native American, she is a descendent of an enforcer from the Trail Of Tears. This is like Himmler claiming to be a Holocaust survivor.

Some think that Israel has ghettoized the Palestinians, whose land they took. But any authoritarian government seems to be OK with you. Israel's violent rule increasingly driving liberal American Jews on to the streets At odds with established Jewish organizations, many younger groups are rejecting the notion of being progressive except for Palestine. The massacre by Israeli soldiers of dozens of Palestinians in Gaza this week has prompted a new round of protests by progressive Jewish-American groups who object to the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem – and who lump the Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu administrations together as enemies of peace in the region. Groups such as IfNotNow, Jewish Voice for Peace, J Street, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and others began to step up protest activity – marches, vigils and community meet-ups – in late March, when Israeli forces killed 17 Palestinians and wounded at least 1,400 in Gaza.

"Why do you claim they hate Jews?" who is this "they", that you claim, I said hate Jews? I was talking about one Muslim congresswoman, who hates Jews. She obviously hates Jews.

Earth to Paul, most charitable giving isn't individuals handing money directly to the final recipients. Most involves giving money to an organization, in the hopes that the organization will use the money to help people. Tell Mother Theresa that the Catholic Church only cares about white people who have a little bit of money. Go to the Catholic hospitals in CT which will treat anyone for free if they can't pay, and ask if they only admit patients who are white and have a little money. The Catholic hospitals are in big cities - New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford. You seriously think they only help white people with money?

"I never said that so either show me where I said that or admit you lied" You said conservatives only care about white people with money. I pointed to an obvious example of how incorrect that is. Do you have any evidence to support your claim that I care only about white people with money? Or John McCain, who adopted a black girl from Bangladesh? Maybe she was so rich, that McCain overlooked her skin color. "Can hospitals deny people coverage? " They can (except in the ER), they choose not to. Those racist bastards. "So the money I give to my church and they use to pay off the mortgage benefits some poor person in the community" Yes, it allows the church to continue to exist. They have to pay the mortgage, and they have no other revenue. I don't know what church you belong to. The Catholic church supports hospitals, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, adoption programs, etc. Where do you think all that money comes from? "It is about the Republican party and their bias towards whitey" No, it's about the liberal claim that we only care about whitey, a claim repeated a trillion times, but with no truth to it.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Jim in CT 02-13-2019, 08:23 PM congresswoman Omar, is now going after weightlifting competitions, she is saying that biological males have no advantage in weightlifting over biological females ( this from the party of science). she is completely insane. Cortez is stupid but amusing. Omar is dangerous and completely deranged. and she is a jew hating bigot. and she’s in congress.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Sea Dangles 02-13-2019, 09:44 PM Neither of them hate Jews, you as usual are misinformed by right wing media attempting to portray them as evil. They have concerns about the actions of Israel oppressing the Palestinians. Read the tweet you cite "evil doings" does not mean Israel is inherently evil, unless you are bonkers. I assume you know very little about Palestine and Israel other than the rhetoric of the US political machine. Here is a site that is concerned about the Palestinians, as is much of the world outside the US. https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/israeli-palestinian-conflict-101/ PeteF.,surely you are aware that her coworkers have openly expressed their displeasure with her ANTI-JEWISH rhetoric.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Jim, Character is Destiny Trump won’t change From Forbes The Intrusion Of Reality There’s a catch with the use of fictions in politics. “The chief disability of propaganda,” wrote Hannah Arendt in her classic book, The Origins of Totalitarianism, “is that it cannot fulfill the longing of the masses for a completely consistent, comprehensible, and predictable world without seriously conflicting with common sense.” For a time, common sense can be held at bay and prevented from intruding into the cocoon of reassuring fiction. Yet the deliberate distortion of reality is also the cause of propaganda’s inevitable downfall. It is the inexorable collision with reality that eventually ruins the cocoon. It’s not a matter of whether. It’s only a question of when. For a time, common sense can be held at bay and prevented from intruding into the cocoon of reassuring fiction. Yet the deliberate distortion of reality is also the cause of propaganda’s inevitable downfall. It is the inexorable collision with reality that eventually ruins the cocoon. It’s not a matter of whether. It’s only a question of when. The trifecta of disappearing tax refunds, falling farm incomes, and an extended government shutdown, along with the failure to secure funding for the wall are the most powerful shocks to the cocoon so far. The shutdown alone made significant inroads into Trump’s support. As of today (Wednesday), only two days before the Friday deadline, Trump hasn’t ruled out the possibility of yet another shutdown, although most see that as “a sequel no one needs.” But who knows? As Bret Stephens points out in the New York Times, Trump is perfectly capable of “committing suicide twice.” Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Jim in CT 02-14-2019, 07:55 AM Jim, Character is Destiny Trump won’t change From Forbes The Intrusion Of Reality There’s a catch with the use of fictions in politics. “The chief disability of propaganda,” wrote Hannah Arendt in her classic book, The Origins of Totalitarianism, “is that it cannot fulfill the longing of the masses for a completely consistent, comprehensible, and predictable world without seriously conflicting with common sense.” For a time, common sense can be held at bay and prevented from intruding into the cocoon of reassuring fiction.

So Trump is defined by his actions (which is totally fair), but Omar is not, as long as she apologizes. So she can keep bashing Jews for being evil and only caring about money, but as long as she apologizes each time, she's not a bigot. That makes ALL KINDS of sense. scottw 02-14-2019, 08:03 AM but Omar is not That makes ALL KINDS of sense. I encourage her to speak freely and often ....another gift for 2020:) Jim in CT 02-14-2019, 08:19 AM I encourage her to speak freely and often ....another gift for 2020:) I know what you mean, and that's exactly how I feel about Cortez, who I feel is amusing, completely harmless, and a benefit to the Republicans. Omar, I feel, is way more dangerous, a near-radical Muslim in Congress. When someone like her says she doesn't want to fund ICE or even Homeland Security, the hair on the back of your neck goes up a little bit. Not too fond of the Jews either, apparently she feels they are a bit much. Pete F. 02-14-2019, 02:34 PM I see!

Perhaps you think she is the only person who ever said anything that could be construed as anti-Semetic, and you gladly accept it without outcry when McCarthy accuses Jews of trying to buy the midterms. From Haaretz At the start of the week, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from Minnesota was back in hot water over tweets on Israeli influence in American politics. This time, according to Omar, “It’s all about the Benjamins,” the cash keeping U.S. civil servants towing the Zionist line. It’s telling that Ilhan Omar fell so quickly back into an anti-Semitic trope after a protracted public controversy over earlier tweets on Israel hypnotizing the world. It is also grating to see Republicans like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who once suggested wealthy Jews were trying to “buy” the midterm elections, pounce at the opportunity to score partisan points. Congresswoman Omar did ultimately apologize, albeit only after censure by the House Democratic leadership. The pretext for Congresswoman Omar’s latest contentious tweet was Kevin McCarthy’s threat of punitive action against her and Rashida Tlaib over their Israel criticism. McCarthy admonished the two Democratic representatives in a public way because it mobilizes the Republican base and inflames a wedge issue among Democrats. Contra Omar, no “Benjamins” were required to make such a move politically expedient for the GOP, even as it helps turns Israel into a partisan football. Of course you could read the whole article, it's far more interesting than just those bits. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/ilhan-omar-just-doesn-t-get-why-americans-support-israel-1.6932164?v=089FE42236B6BCE373442D2C02838EAF vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
