    Is "Somalis" a race Pavlov? Is "gangsters" a race?
    Focusing in only on Somalis and "gangsters" is clearly racist and xenophobic.

    Now, show me some of those gangsters.

    Tell me how many Somalis live in Minnesota.

    Let's talk about it, Qhris.

    Or just shut up and remain a racist.

    voting is bull

    see the Princeton study that showed 95%+ of the time, ALL politicians follow the preferences of BigDonor, not the preferences of their voters. Only incidentally do the two sets of preferences overlap.

    Even if the study's percentage is on the high side, it indicates an irrefutable truth.

    Voting blue in a red/slave state might feel good, but it's wasted vote.

    The Senate is a ing disaster for representative democracy, with a tiny minority of Americans having more Senate votes than the huge majority.

    Capping the House 435 Reps is another anti-proportional disaster. A recent possibility was that 40M CA would lose a House seat to ing MT, IIRC.

    DNC, supposedly the liberal party of "the people", of the Have-Nots, has announced it will blackball any orgs that work for challengers to Dem in bents, strangling challengers. iow, DNC is aborting any more AOCs and similar challengers.

    These are structural, Cons utional failures in America that the oligarchy has rigged magnificently, and the oligarchy will BUY the blockage of any attempts to unrig their status quo.

    because of voting, but the oligarchy controls the anti-democratic, perverted Senate so NOTHING the Dem House passes will go into law. So the "blue wave" of Dems will accomplish nothing, even if corrupt, snarky, "only 5 AOC types" Pelosi allows bills on the floor.

    And much of what progressives sue for will be blocked by Repugs' young, incompetent rightwing ideologues in Federal district and appellate courts. and those judges are untouchable, beyond the reach of voting.

    OhIC

    Blue team has never had the Senate.
    And you admit Trump is a continuation of Obama.

    Go to another country where your votes really don’t count. There is nothing you can do here.
    you have basically admitted as much

    "You know why I do it?

    I do it to discredit you all and demean you all

    so that when you write negative stories about me

    no one will believe you.’”



    U.S. Press Freedom Gets Labeled ‘Problematic’ For The First Time

    The 2019 World Press Freedom Index downgraded the U.S. three spots to 48 out of 180 countries in terms of a free press.

    The United States has become a “problematic” place for

    journalists as they continue to face a stream of threats and attacks on their safety,

    downgraded the U.S. by three spots compared with last year.

    The drop, which puts them at 48 out of 180 countries,

    changes the U.S. press freedom status from “satisfactory” to “problematic.”

    It’s the first time the country has received that label.

    an increasingly hostile climate that goes beyond
    Donald Trump’s comments,

    “Never before have U.S. journalists been subjected to so many death threats or turned so often to private security firms for protection.”

    Trump has played a significant role in hostility toward media,

    repeatedly accusing journalists of reporting “fake news” and calling them the “enemy of the American people.”

    He has also cheered on violence against journalists

    the president’s repeated attacks undermine press freedom and raise the risk of violence against journalists.

    “The president’s relentless attacks against the press has created

    an environment where verbal, physical and online threats and assault against journalists are being normalized,”

    THE ADVENTURES OF BARON TRUMPHAUSEN



    the certainty that this administration is the most (morally) corrupt and dysfunctional in US history, and that it is headed by a president

    who was only saved from prosecution because the people working for him routinely had the good sense to disregard his orders.

    They just don’t care because they value power over everything else — including their own integrity.

    The real problem is that he clearly intended to obstruct justice and that he hoped to recruit Russian help to win the election.

    the president has very clearly instilled a culture of dishonesty at the highest levels of government.

    Nothing will ever be the same again because of Trump. And the GOP continues to turn a blind eye.

    Trump frequently talks (and lies) about his German heritage.

    It would certainly not be surprising

    if he were related to the famous Baron Munchausen, perhaps literature’s most famous braggart


    Among Munchausen’s outlandish stories were that

    he rode a cannonball,

    flew to the moon,

    rode a horse split into two, and

    pulled himself out of a swamp by his own hair.


    The brilliance of Munchausen’s tall tales was that they involved claims so bizarre that they were utterly unbelievable and ridiculous.

    Obviously,

    Trump makes such statements all the time, like saying that he has “
    one of the great memories of all time.”

    By the way, in his written answers to the Mueller team, the president said “I can’t remember” or “I do not recall”
    27 times.

    if he were to tell congressional Republicans, or the 30 percent of Americans who still buy into his lies, that he rode a cannonball, they would congratulate him on accomplishing such an amazing feat.

    one thing Trump and the real Munchausen appear to have in common:

    Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Münchhausen fought for Russia from 1738 to 1750.

    Trump Launches ‘Unhinged’ Two-Hour Twitter Rant



    Trump found two hours Tuesday morning to air his grievances with the media, congressional Democrats, Twitter, and the European Union in a series of unhinged tweets that are sure to kick off yet another round of speculation about his mental state.

    Trump appeared to be angry with Krugman’s Monday column in which he accuses Republicans of being a “party that no longer believes in American values.

    “Paul Krugman, of the Fake News New York Times, has lost all credibility, as has the Times itself, with his false and highly inaccurate writings on me,” Trump tweeted.

    “He is obsessed with hatred, just as others are obsessed with how stupid he is.”

    the president again

    falsely claimed that the New York Times apologized to him for its 2016 coverage (that didn’t happen), and

    wondered if the Times would apologize to him again.


    “But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology,” Trump
    tweeted.

    “On this one they will have to get down on their knees & beg for forgiveness-they are truly the Enemy of the People!”

    he then accused Democrats of being “
    totally insane” — which given this bonkers tweet storm is one serious example of projection.

    Trump went on to claim that because the economy is doing well, that means he should be “immune from criticism.”

    “In the ‘old days’ if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism,” Trump
    tweeted.

    “Remember, ‘It’s the economy stupid.’

    Today I have, as President, perhaps the greatest economy in history

    …and to the Mainstream Media, it means NOTHING. But it will!”

    Trump the media critic then returned, as he
    praised Fox & Friends for being the best morning show and

    attacked MSNBC’s Morning Joe for being “
    Dumb and Sick” — his capitalization.

    Trump also took Twitter to task,
    criticizing it for being “hard for people to sign on” to and “constantly taking people off list.”

    It appears someone needs to help teach the president how to remember his username and password.

    Trump complained to Jack about Twitter deleting his followers. Very Alpha.

    Obviously preoccupied with the most persecuted minority in the world: suspended and deleted Twitter accounts.



    President Trump and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey met on Tuesday — hours after the commander-in-chief accused the platform of censoring him and other Republicans.

    “Great meeting this afternoon at the @WhiteHouse with @Jack from @Twitter. Lots of subjects discussed regarding their platform, and the world of social media in general,” Trump tweeted, along with a photo taken inside the Oval Office.

    “Look forward to keeping an open dialogue!”

    Twitter excels at accelerating idiocy, hostility and misunderstanding.

    It excels at DJT's true metier, the retaliatory style in address and affect.

    imagine DJT plotting his own political career as an elaborate vendetta against his enemies.

    is that really such a far leap when he's already publicly fantasizing about it?

    Trump Furious After Twitter’s Bot Purge Leaves Him with Fourteen Followers

    WASHINGTON —Donald J. Trump was reportedly “furious” on Wednesday morning after a purge of right-wing bots by Twitter left him with a total of fourteen remaining followers, aides have confirmed.

    Rising at 3 a.m. to engage in one of his trademark early-morning tweetstorms, Trump was incensed to discover that his Twitter following had

    plummeted from more than forty-eight million to a little more than a dozen.

    At Twitter headquarters, in San Francisco, a company spokesman confirmed that Trump had indeed lost 48,076,920 followers in the bot purge.

    “It turned out that over forty-six million of the President’s followers came from a single troll farm in Macedonia,” the spokesman said.


    As of Wednesday, Trump’s fourteen remaining Twitter followers included

    his daughter Ivanka;
    his sons Eric and Donald, Jr.;
    several White House aides; and

    someone named Heinrich Himmler III.


    “We’re praying that Heinrich is a real person,” a White House aide said.

    “The President can’t afford to lose another follower.”
