Trump might have said "that was probably bad for me" once. A week later. In private. With Melania. Under his breath.

lol, like Melania is with him in private.

My old high school

Quote:
ARLINGTON — School administrators say they’ve disciplined eight Arlington High School students for “inflammatory statements” made on the social media platform Snapchat.

One such statement included the phrase “racist white and proud.” Another message said that “liberals need to die,” and a third contained the F-word followed by a racial slur.

What does suspend the rules and agree to the resolution mean?

Yeah, they were deleted because I guess I was too harsh for your fragile intolerant ego. Here's something you may want to consider:

It's possible for more than one thing to be true. It is also possible to care about more than one thing at a time. Ergo, it's possible for Trump to be a terrible example and STILL take accountability for how your kids turn out. Every racist person I know (people that I consider racist, so they'd be off the charts to you), had racist parents.

I don't care who the president is, my kids would never have turned out to be bullies, racist, homophobic, or xenophobic, etc. In fact, they are MUCH less racist than I am. They simply never had the preconceived notions I had around me growing up. They had friends since grade school who came out as gay in high school. It was no big deal. My daughter said, we've been my friend forever why would that change just because she's gay? That wouldn't have been the case when I was in high school. There would've been tremendous pressure to ridicule someone who came out as gay.

So my point simply was, kids are blank canvases. They don't start out life as racist or homophobic. It's true their surrounding might influence them, but the biggest influence should be their home life and upbringing. Seems you want to blame everything on society.

That is NOT defending Trump in any way! But people just didn't wake up one day and say, "Oh, the president doesn't seem to mind so it's okay for me to tell someone to go back to where they came from". That was already there. Trump has just normalized it.

It means they want it approved quickly.

Yeah. If everyone (more or less) is going to agree, it is just to save time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspen...tates_Congress

Quote:
Once a member makes a motion to "suspend the rules" and take some action, debate is limited to 40 minutes, no amendments can be offered to the motion or the underlying matter, and a 2/3 majority of Members present and voting is required to agree to the motion.
A suspension motion sets aside all procedural and other rules that otherwise prohibit the House from considering the measure—but the motion never mentions the specific rules that are suspended. Typically, a suspension motion is phrased as a motion to "...suspend the rules and pass the bill," and, if the motion is agreed to, the bill is considered passed by the House.

The Oregon killing feels like a microcosm of everything wrong in America. Two guys get killed by a white supremacist and the guy who stole the deceased's belongings was a good guy who got an award for stopping a robber before addiction from prescription pain pills leading to heroin left him homeless and thieving

I was at a theme park and I saw one Muslim family the entire day. I would imagine tourism $ from that region of the world has plummeted.

Pretty big difference between our enemies exploiting the stupid and our leadership collaborating with our enemy to exploit the stupid.

Can't wait for all the "free speech" republicans to go crazy over this infringement on the freedom of the press. Any minute now I'm sure.

The more we learn about Trump's misdeeds, the more he and Republicans are doing to tighten up transparency rules and laws to hide information from the general public at all costs.

HOW DOES THIS HELP AMERICA IN ANY WAY?? WTF IS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO PROTECT CRIMINALITY OF THE WHITE HOUSE??

This doesn't even help the nonsense they are preaching! Limiting information adds to the amount of FAKE NEWS out there. It promotes misdirection, manipulation of truth and enables our enemies to **** with us.

That last part is extremely important, not that a disinformation campaign promoted by the federal government isn't. But think about it...Russia interferes with our election in 2016. We learn more about it as time goes on, discovering with each report that it is more widespread and effective than we originally thought. The POTUS is practically the only person left in government who won't admit this. He's been criticized a great deal for not holding Russia or Putin accountable for his attacks (which appear VERY coordinated with his election campaign). So instead of punishing our biggest global enemy, he decides to try and REMOVE sanctions since the day after entering the White House. That insane action couldn't fly under the radar, so here we are a few months later MAKING IT EASIER for them to reattack us in 2018 and 2020 AND making it easier for the results of it, or any coordination with US citizens, to stay hidden!

ARE THEY ****ING NUTS OR ARE WE ****ING STUPID?
