Well being pro-life is something else, though. If you’re been told all your life that it’s a moral issue, and it’s like the government saying murder is legal, and not supporting a pro-life agenda means you’re complicit and going to hell... Then the single-issue pro-life voter makes sense.

Canadian cars are fine and dandy because their workers get labor protections, i.e. competes on fair ground. What’s probably more telling is that anti-immigrant sentiment rarely gets directed at majority White countries, even though Canadians by far are the people who overstay their travel visas to the USA.

The UAW Corollas stopped being a thing when the plant got sold to Tesla. Of course Tesla promptly disbanded the union.

No, the actual intent of the electoral college is to apportion presidential voting power on “human population” as opposed to “voter population”. It gave the South electoral power, by magnifying all the white male voters of the south by 60% of the black population.

The 2nd one is completely legal as written; the problem for the administration is that the 1st one exists. And with the 1st one on record, intent becomes an issue. Lawyers are always there to interpret framers’ intent when the words themselves aren’t sufficiently cut and dry. If he had thought slightly more about it…

Who produced excellence? And does it count as excellence if you reached home base but you were born on 3rd? And does underperforming the S&P 500 with your hundred-million-dollar inheritance count as excellence?

Beware the Nissan. Japanese pricing with ‘Merican French reliability and German French repair costs.

Don’t forget, this is after he got stuck in his own backyard with those meaty 31x10.50s... I think.

Sure the framers anticipated corruption. They were even part of it: whose moneyed interests do you think it benefitted with the 3/5 rule and the electoral college rules that made sure you benefitted from the denial of the vote to a large part of the population?

There is the often-cited paper that says that Whites feel more discriminated against than Blacks. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1390205/Whites-suffer-racism-blacks-Study-shows-white-people-believe-discriminated-against.html The actual paper I think is behind a paywall.

Yeah, I think a better approach than “racism is natural” is “racism is a byproduct of interacting in American culture, and it’s best to question it and where it came from.” I spent some years in the academic world of unconscious biases, and that was never really satisfying to me.

Also when you have two small children with various health issues it’s often easier to stick with your health plan and pay for full price COBRA than to navigate a new web of Medicaid providers who might or might not take your coverage.

99% sure it’s because NC is not a Medicaid expansion state, and ACA has no premium subsidy for those below the Medicaid expansion limit, because, really, if you’re not making any money you should have had Medicaid.

The dissatisfaction with “everyone’s a little bit racist” is that people end up accepting that racism is normal and feel like they don’t need to limit expressing it.

1) Hong Kong is not China. But I’m sure you know that, Mr. I’m an expert on Chinese issues.

Also, the supplier and maintenance company, Otis, is American and part of the United Technologies conglomerate.

So is there a way for them to edit the firmware so the phone reports itself as a Galaxy Note 6 Pro? And recertify it with a slightly smaller battery so it doesn’t get bent and self-ignite?

That’s not exactly true. Plenty of grandmas with their well-loved ‘85 Olds 88 aren’t interesting to talk to. I understand the scorn for the pony car owner who just basically throws money at a mechanic and tells her to get it done, but if the owner put in all the work herself I don’t see why an immaculate pony is…

There are at least three reasons to lease that I’ve personally encountered.

I’m not even sure how voting patterns go with being racist. My white sister-in-law, despite having brown children bullied in her rural-ish NC town, and a brown spouse, voted GOP because she had to pay for full-price COBRA when her husband was between jobs.
