Larry seems to think repealing "Obamacare" is all about hating that black president.  Funny.

Yeah, it is also about pleasing their biggest donors.

So why do you think Obama's proposing it suddenly made Republicans decide that their own policy idea - the individual mandate - should be the centerpiece of their opposition to the legislation?

Presidential Hopefuls Begin Apology Tour.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts apologized for  her controversial decision to take a DNA test to prove her decades-old claim of Native American ancestry.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. recently lamented his role in crafting the tough-on-crime drug legislation of the 1980s and 1990s. Senator Kamala Harris of California said she regretted some of the positions her office took while she was a state prosecutor. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York said her past hard-line stances on immigration “certainly weren’t empathetic and they were not kind.” Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont apologized after reports of gender discrimination and sexual harassment in his 2016 presidential campaign.  NT Times-Sunday, February 3

As for Cory Booker we have to wait.  HE has been a strong advocate of School Choice and Charter Schools.(Being the Mayor of Newark probably explains that)
As he said in 2016, “I see how kids who have no history of college in their families suddenly have had the arc of their families’ trajectory changed as they’ve been liberated from what I call the imprisonment of institutions of failure.”

But the apology tour has already reached parody status.  Check out the Onion's take:

Cory Booker Apologizes To Wall Street Bankers For The Mean Things He’s Going To Have To Say About Them.”

So Scalise has a Magic Negro... so what?
   

Heh.  Was going to post that rebuttal, but you got there first.  It is so unconvincing when somewhere somehow a vicious racist fuck manages to find someone he has been able to dupe.  It's like Trump and those Magical Women he found to assert how respectful he was, who wouldn't grab an ass even if it was an ass-shaped doorknob and the room was on fire.

Australia's a man's country!

https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/381696/australia-turns-away-women-fleeing-from-saudi-arabia

More like a border-secure country...where floodgates are not welcome.

Four Corners has evidence of at least two young Saudi women who arrived at Sydney Airport in the past two years but were turned back after making their asylum claims clear to Australian officials.
Four Corners has also been told that Saudi women who arrive alone at Australian airports are being questioned as to why they are travelling without a male guardian.

At least 80 Saudi women have sought asylum in Australia in recent years, many of them fleeing Saudi Arabia's oppressive male guardianship laws, which allow their husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and even sons to strictly control their lives.

Four Corners has spoken to several Saudi women who managed to escape the Middle Eastern kingdom and make it to Australia. All of them remain on bridging visas waiting for their asylum claims to be processed.

Way to prove the point.

If Saudi WOMEN are being excluded, that has nothing to do with floodgates, misogynist.

Now here's a level of honesty about racism that I can respect:

Trying to remember the last time an American celeb or pol owned up to a past mistake quite like this.  And voluntarily, out of the blue, with zero to gain and much to lose.

17 more and he can be President! But if he can only come up with one or two, there is a SCOTUS seat in his future.

What's your point?  How is this parallel to either Scalise or Trump?  Craft an argument and i will listen.

I see I responded to a different quote of yours.
The NYtimes article should have been attached to the one complaining about Kid’s tweet cite you faulted for a lack of a credible source.

Ok that makes more sense, thanks.  As far as I can tell, the Post sat on the woman's allegations for a year because they could find zero corroboration for it.  That suggests journalistic integrity more than a conspiracy.

I love listening to our right wing folks going off on other people's immorality while continuing to deny or ignore the conduct of their own.

No discussion of the thousands of children that the Trump administration says are too hard to return and a burden on them.

Amoral hypocrites.
