Lindsey Graham is the embodiment of why so many people despise politicians. Within only about two years, he went from one of Trump’s biggest critics in the GOP to a constant defender. In fact, I think the awfulness of people like Graham were one of the biggest appeals of Trump, who was not a wishy-washy politician and …

1. Led the US into World War I, including negotiating the treaty of Versailles.

I don’t think that’s how States do it, at least not in the places I lived in California. Juries get selected for a specific date and are put into pools assigned to trials. If the trial does not occur, they are not even asked to show up to court (you usually check a website to see if your pool has to show up).

My experience serving on a jury is that prosecutors often simply don’t want people trained in skepticism on the jury. I was once asked if I would be more inclined to believe the testimony of a police officer over an ordinary citizen. I responded that I had read about studies regarding eyewitness testimony and…

That is just the way history works. It is easier to miss or ignore someone’s flaws if it is overwhelmed by the shining light of their greatness. That’s why future school children will be aware of President Trump’s flaws. Because unlike Wilson, there is no greatness to teach about. 

That is true, but by the early 1980s, at least just about everyone in national politics publicly agreed that racism was bad. I cannot imagine Reagan or Clinton or the Bushes saying some of the things in public that Trump has said or tweeted.

I’m pretty sure that there were a bunch of white nationalists who stayed home in November 2016 because they either didn’t think that Trump was racist enough for their liking or they were still on probation for the felony meth conviction. 

I think she’ll be fine. It’s a Catholic charity. Now her 12 year old brother . . . .

This is mainly something that falls under the auspices of the executive branch, which really has very little to do with congress. It is the responsibility of the President and his political appointees.

LOL, now I feel old. I took BASIC programming in High School. Java ran like Jaba the Hut through molasses. Most computer science was taught using C++, due to its object oriented designed and fast execution.

Actually, some people have been pretty successful in small claims court. At the very least, you can get the default judgement and if they send someone, it is a good chance that he charges them a lot more than your hourly pay. 

Make sure you understand the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit in your state. You can take them to small claims court, but you have to file within a certain period of time. 

Honestly, I’m considering suing in small claims court. It is up to $10K and if even a few million Americans did that, it would be much more meaningful than a class action lawsuit. 

Lone wolf refers specifically to individuals who plan and execute an attack on their own as opposed to those who engage in a criminal conspiracy with others.

Non-Hispanic whites are going to be just another minority group nationwide within the century. For a long time, most white Americans have not had to spend much time thinking about their own ethnic identity. Most of those that did dwell on their white identity were overtly racist. But within the last decade, that has…

It is not a simple issue. Switzerland, for instance, has a very similar right for citizens to purchase firearms (much like the second amendment), including newly-manufactured automatic weapons, something the US bans. Mass shootings are almost unheard of there. Mexico has very strict gun laws, but shootings there are…

Gun ownership as a constitutional right was hardly insane in the context of the time it was created. The founding fathers thought that having a professional, standing army was an invitation to oppression of citizens and imperialism. They thought that if a war was just, citizens would volunteer to fight and they needed…

The latest I read is that the shooter’s Instagram account made references to liking white supremacy and hating Mestizos and tech workers.

The most common ways to defend the President’s comments and behaviors that most Americans view as racist:

I mean, in all fairness, they did stop him relatively quickly. If there were no “good guys with a gun” there, there likely would have been far more casualties.
