Reading a poker analogy in Politics is like flopping top pair. Feels pretty good, all things considered.

We've got 7 missing sailors off the coast of Japan and Jake Tapper just tweeted that there are early reports of 11 soldiers dead in Afghanistan after a green on blue attack. Nothing from Trump on the sailors yet but he did retweet Hannity. Worst ****ing leader of all time.

David I want you to think real carefully about where you're going with this, why you're going there, and whether this is one of those things that lets me know you supported Trump.

And to answer David's question: probably not because dude is a cop and here in fascist America we worship cops to the utmost. However, if the victim was white, the chance of the cop being found guilty increases by probably an immeasurable amount, even if the cop is still a big dog to be found guilty just because he's a cop. Basically, systemic racism in a nutshell.

No need to dance around it. Sklansky is your standard old white guy who thinks racism ended in 1965 and today it's nothing but rainbows and opportunity for minorities.

Wow the KKK is still a thing? Those old man that get together to drink beers and occasionally get busted with black male prostitutes*, that's what you're scared of?

"Today, the Center estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members, split among dozens of different - and often warring - organizations that use the Klan name."

"Pew Research Center estimates that there were about 3.3 million Muslims of all ages living in the United States in 2015."
[http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...m-population/]

Even if we assume only ONE percent of these Muslims are radical Islamists they outnumber the KKK by a lot.

Wait until 50 million strong are called to power and the ensuing battles begin, ranging from Twitter banning the POTUS's account to a full blown, fully engaged civil war.

People don't understand how bad a civil war would be for the country. Especially at this point in time when we're already fairly weakened. The LAST thing we need is a huge way to take our eyes off the ball. Which means Trump will almost definitely incite it.

For real, we just had our election system attacked by Russia, our entire toolbox of online CIA tactics exposed by WikiLeaks (Russia), critical government offices by gutted by Trump (Russia), defensive allies chased away by Trump, some stuff about a system of checks and balances eroded by Trump, and a weakened democracy overall.

Separate complaints were filed over the week against Kasowitz by the Campaign for Accountability, a nonprofit government watchdog organization, and by attorney Neil Goldfarb, a former board member of the American Civil Liberties Union. They both allege that Kasowitz may have inappropriately counseled other White House staffers while representing the president, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.

Because we're a thoughtful, caring group. Who's prentending?

Objectively 100% true statement = gold medal winning mental gymnastics.

This is where we are. There is no hope.

White supremacy is living in a country where we all called to "come together" when a white supremacist Republican Congressman is shot, but we are told to "get over it" when a black man is murdered by the police and absolutely nothing is done about it.

The goal is not to manufacture "caring" (Paul Bloom, for example, has shown in detail why empathy cannot serve as the basis for policy and decision-making).

The goal is to have a global society that cleaves to truth, inclusion and the clear-eyed pursuit of the unimaginably beautiful future that is within our grasp.

Clearly, it works against this goal to have American society structured to exclude most black people from the hope of an even a decent life today.

Some us actually get upset when police murder people and get away scott-free.
