What metrics are you using for that list? Chicago’s the 3rd largest city in the US and the data (from 538) reveals it’s #1 in the rate of increase for murders (in absolute numbers) from 2015 to 2016 with 2o17 surpassing the rate of increase for 2016 ... that’s not good. And it’s all happening to a very specific…

Everything else aside, the idea that he’s threatening Chicago seems far fetched. Things are going really, really badly on the south side and it seems like the city leaders are helpless to do anything - the most vulnerable people of society are really suffering and very little is being done to help them. At some point,…

Something tells me you believe 90% of everyone you come across is racist. Good luck to you, you clearly need it...

How’s that, exactly? I said there’s racism but it’s nowhere near what it has been in the past 30 years, let alone since the Jim Crow laws in the late 1800's and that’s makes me racist? I pointed out there are other groups that make it out of their situation within a generation or two and that’s racist?

The problem is you think Jim Crow like policies never existed anywhere else....because of course, the United States is so unique, nothing at all could have ever existed that mirrored those laws in any other place at any other point in history.

Right, when slavery ended in every country around the world, the world, not just the Americas, and throughout world history, not just US history, no policies were put into place there to limit the power of those that were freed?

By your chart, it grew from 95-97....so, ok, I stand corrected. Every very year since 1997.....you really got me there.

Unique effects of Jim Crow? You think this country is the only one to have slavery in its past? Learn some world history you ignorant asshat. Maybe you’ll be less quick to label everyone, which you seem to have done to everyone you’ve communicated with here, a racist.

The shitheel here is you, buddy. You’re making huge judgements while knowing nothing about my background or what I’ve fought for - either on my behalf or someone else’s. And why is it there are immigrant groups who come to this country and within a generation (or two) their kids are at the top of the food chain but…

Are you arguing the Electoral College system is responsible for blunting civil rights movements? How? Am I blind or are things massively better than the 60's for women and all types of minorities? Yes, there’s still a lot that has to improve but you can’t blame it on the EC. True, full, racial equality is not going to…

So after the civil war, which was fought to dismantle the institution of slavery, they just decided to leave it in there? Not change the system since slavery was no longer allowed? I think it was more to make sure the majority couldn’t vote themselves endless benefits at the expense of the wealthy minority......

“I think we probably agree that it is certainly distasteful that a party is successfully winning elections without a popular mandate.”

How can you say the impact of NAFTA is maybe not as big as Trump thinks after laying down this statistic:

Griese was pretty egregious with the stupid rewind thing. A lot of times the play had barely ended and he was already rewinding the fucking tape.....let it play, man!! Otherwise I thought it was pretty good.

That explains a lot. My kids, when very little, were vomit comets. Every time they got in the car they would spray like the exorcist. And I always wondered why the hell it smelled like rotten pizza when they hadn’t eaten any.

Learn something new....

The flour ones certainly taste sweeter* to me.

*no idea if they actually have a higher sugar content or not, just sayin.

I hear what you’re saying about Brady vs. Harrison but their respective positions are so different its hard to make a comparison. Not many football players make it to the age these guys are in the first place but, traditionally, the ones who do are QBs or special teamers. It’s hard to endure the car crash like effect…

Is there no targeting rule in the NFL? Cause making contact with the QB’s chin/facemask with your helmet should qualify, no?

No, I was referring to his primary business for the last 15 years or so: publishing books, leasing out the Trump name to other projects and TV shows, etc.

No argument there...
