7. Americans hate dynasties. If Hillary was elected, that would’ve meant 8 of the last 10 administrations had either a Clinton or Bush as prez or VP.

The popular vote will always be part of the story of 2016, but the rules are set BEFORE not after a contest. If it was straight popular vote, who knows what would’ve changed. Votes for 3rd party candidates like Jill Stein would almost certainly go down because people who vote in deep blue (or red) states would…

I was being diplomatic.

I’m absolutely arguing in good faith (as Devil’s Advocate). I thought about this at work all day. Look, I’m glad the Sioux won a round against the Great (half-)White Father, but I got to wondering just how many other pipelines cross waterways that provide drinking water. I don’t know the answer, but it’s worth…

My guess is the latter.

Insults are insults: “you’re stupid...You’re fat...You’re black...You’re white...Your mama dresses you funny...” Whatever gets a rise.

He took a phone call, he didn’t offer Taiwan a seat at the UN.

Just to further the discussion, I’ll be the bad guy and play Devil’s Advocate for a moment.

Obama advocates talking with your enemies. It’s smart.

The Carrier deal: gave $7M in incentives over a ten year period to save 800 jobs plus a promise by Carrier to invest $16M back into Indiana. Explain how that ruins Indy’s economy. Employed people pay taxes, buy stuff, keep the economy churning much more than unemployed people do.

He’s not president yet. Can we at least wait ‘til he’s inaugurated to start criticizing his job performance?

Perhaps the Left shouldn’t have been so dismissive of Trump. They made good jokes, but bad strategy.

Envious???

What, that a few people tweeted their anxiety? To quote climate change rhetoric, “There’s a difference between weather and climate.” A small collection of tweets is “weather.”

I’ll agree that Trump is a one-off-type president. Whatever programs he sets in motion probably will be peeled away once he finishes his term (s?). Same would’ve gone for Bernie Sanders, IMO.

Wage gap stats are based on median income for full-time employees. That gap is not going anywhere for various reasons, for example: there are tons of good-paying jobs that women are simply not well-suited for. Take construction, for example: How many 120-pound women are able to strap on a 15-pound tool belt and…

All presidents are insulted. George W Bush was eviscerated in the press and on late night talk shows every single day.

(1) Prosecuting Hillary was never going to happen. The FBI already spoke on that (twice).

I have no problem with a black Santa. It’s a Scandanavian myth, however (I believe), so in an absolutist sense Santa probably is fair skinned (not much sun at the North Pole). I’m more concerned that mall Santa, regardless of skin tone, is sober.

I totally agree that “these things” (constant CONSTANT probing at issues of race and power) are divisive in America nowadays. Ironically, it comes at a time when minority participation at all levels of our society: government, education, etc., is at its highest. Growing up in the ‘80's it seemed like the message…
