You get.to spew racist drivel. People get to point out your racism. It it the marketplace of ideas.

More like "the marketplace of ideas, with lawyers".

Anyway, people just left certain immigrant ethnic enclaves as soon as they could.
They left, more of the enclave's people moved in.
Like the American school cafeterias...the seating divided by race.

"We are one" has been replaced by "we are every person for themselves".

Prime Minister today will be announcing a reduction in the annual limit for immigration...from 190,000 to 160,000 [not including international students].
Too little, too late...too many people already, and not enough of just about everything.

Like you or the others on the right have ever been anything but "every person for themselves."

I think Yankguy missed the word "rightfully" in my post.

A take-down of a piece about Beto and then their own take on him.

Born to be in it.

Sigh.

More unlawful activity by the Trump administration.

State Dept. refused to allow reporters at a briefing and refused to release list of attendees.

What could go wrong?!

Rep. Nunes is apparently more sensitive than he lets on. He's suing Twitter and some individual posters for $250 million. I don't think he will get it. Or anything else.

Meanwhile, the GOP legislators around the country keep trying to reach new depths of ignorance and misogyny.

Access to menstrual products would make jails like country clubs, said he.

Whose opinions are being silenced, in your oh so humble opinion, Bambi?

“Shhh! Be vewy, vewy quiet, we’re hunting witches... heh heh heh heh!”

Mueller is the least of Trump’s problems...

”Representatives of Trump’s presidential campaign and the charity also illegally plotted to use foundation money to help Trump get elected, the lawsuit claimed, citing foundation emails and statements by charity and campaign representatives. Money raised by the charity to benefit veterans, for example, was doled out to specific organizations at specific times  “to influence” Trump’s  ‘election for president.’” Checks from the foundation were emblazoned with the Trump campaign logo.”

As a white Australian male who married into a devoted Muslim family I feel these similarities personally. I have friends and family who have experienced religious and racially motivated violence. I have friends and family who have publicly expressed extremist right-wing views, including hatred and fear of Muslims.

#####

And I had a friend who along with her girlfriends was blown up/burnt beyond recognition on a dance floor in Bali by 'Muslims'...while her husband and children were back at the hotel.
Small girls left without their mother, husband left without his wife.

"Extremist right-wing views"...baaah!
That includes, according to some people, the President of the United States of America's immigration and travel bans..."designed to keep America/ns safe".

9/11...when 'Muslims' hijacked planes in the United States of America and flew them into towers, killing thousands of innocent people...some having to jump from the towers or be burnt to death...others trapped in their offices unable to get out; and knowing their fate said goodbye to their loved ones forever by telephone...and little kiddies still at kindergarten/daycare well after 'closing time' as their parent/s were dead.
And as New York City was burning, Americans were driving vehicles with signs on them that read 'NUKE EM'...is that "Extremist right-wing views"?
