Yes I understand the INTENTION of those posts is to show that (as I stated) but I’m saying that it actually fails at this and achieves a different result. The only way to logically follow that line of thought is to conclude “Immigrants destroyed the native culture. When we (white people) were immigrants, we destroyed…

That is totally understandable as he appears to wish he could include his daughter too. But now I must go vomit.

You know, while that is true of course, and I get the idea of trying to make white people rethink their privilege by recasting THEM as the original immigrants, it’s also a really terrible argument if your long-term goal is tolerance for immigrants. Follow that reasoning to its logical conclusion. The white immigrants…

Fifth? Does he have four wives? I thought only three? Ivana, Marla, Melania right? Was there another?

Creepy. She does look like his type though. Still, don’t most female fox news anchors look like her? I don’t watch Fox, but I remember that meme that had all their pictures- and they were all thin, pretty, white, long-haired blondes.

That's probably it then. He seems like the sort of man who would never forgive a woman doing anything that might lead to his embarrassment.

Sure. I wasn't trying to say that the poster is correct by any means- we literally have no information about the case. I was just answering the question of how the poster intended the demographic stats to be relevant. They either shot the father in Katy and brought his body to Walker or they captured him, brought him…

Yeah, I know. I've thought about that a lot. I mean, it's FOX! What are they going to do when he wins the nom? They aren't used to eating their own.

Love the carnivorous plant opening- great as usual. His general misogyny is unsurprising, but I'm interested in his continued obsession with Megan Kelly. What's that all about? Why does he keep attacking her, specifically?

I'm not entirely sure you know what you are talking about here. Katy was a well-to-do upwardly mobile suburb just a couple decades ago, and the Houston area has always been far less white than most major cities. I mean, I don't agree with the larger argument that this poster was making, but your response isn't…

I don’t deny that violent narcotic crime is related to the cartel wars and therefore most of the people involved in it are Hispanic. Nonetheless, it is also true that the vast majority of Hispanics in Texas are not involved in violent narcotic crime. I think that’s an important distinction to make before deciding to…

Probably. But the correction about Katy is true. Not that it's relevant to the story, just that if you know the area it's annoying to hear it described as a "small city outside Houston". Uh, no. It's very crowded urban sprawl.

Are "waist shaper" and "waist trainer" really what corsets are called these days? Or is there a reason for using a different word?

Well I’m not sure how they are relevant to the discussion at hand, but having grown up in Houston, I can say that my first thought was that the article is incorrect in calling Katy “a small city” outside Houston or that this crime took place in a rural area. Second, it does sound like a narco-related crime (execution)…

Your demographic info is true, as is your correction about Katy (which is the first thing I thought also when I read it was a "small city" outside Houston). But I don't know what that has to do with the post to which you responded which is about the likelihood of her being in cahoots with the person who killed her…

Love the one on the far right. Don't know that it's worth 500 dollars though.

Hmmm.. re-reading, I want to be clear that I don't think tea partiers or Trump supporters have any legitimate claims or plans. Just that the initial source of their discontent does have a real base in their everyday life, and the left has done nothing to inform or organize that base leaving it wide open for the right…

I agree with all of that. I think Sanders is far more progressive than either Obama or Clinton were though. But yes I agree with everything you've said.

Thanks. I’ve never seen Broad City. Is it on Netflix?

I appreciate what you said about populism. It’s a weird thing because lately I’ve been feeling I really want to write about it. I’m in a small town in Texas and I come from a working class background and I’m old enough that I remember when this was not synonymous…

I totally agree with what you said before you started talking about European history. But your first few paragraphs- absolutely. I’ve been thinking about this a good bit lately, and I couldn’t figure out exactly what I was missing, and I’ve been saying the same thing about the left’s complete failure to respond to the…
