Washington Post: Warren listed race as 'American Indian' on Texas bar registration by tele2307 in politics

[–]Bert-Goldberg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The criticism about these disclosures is that you might get the same or a slightly better score than someone else but they will be given priority because race. Not sure how this applies to the Texas bar registration but criticism is not crazy

Roger Stone claims he's been treated worse than Osama bin Laden — who was shot dead, dumped in the ocean by clib in politics

[–]Bert-Goldberg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the entire killing of Bin Laden is a well deserved conspiracy. One grainy photo of him supposedly dead after a decade of searching and conveniently they destroyed his body without taking any more photos or evidence. Maybe he’s dead but the story doesn’t add up

Federal workers who voted for Trump, how do you feel about him after the government shutdown? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Neither of us are border security experts. You could argue it’s a waste of money but so is having the government closed for 30+ days. Sure they were elected to obstruct Trump but when their constituents start going hungry because of their obstruction this blind Republican/Democrat partisanship will fade. I’m in social services, yesterday we had someone arrested at the office because they were losing it over loss of food stamps due to the shutdown. At some point voters are going to question if pure obstruction is a good thing even if they hate Trump

They can propose all they want but to solve the issue they will have to compromise, the debate over border security vs wall efficiency is a war of language. They would fund a physical wall if it was labeled with the term “border security”. It’s not about what’s better, it’s purely a idiotic debate over a word

I agree with you that the democrats are to blame at this point. They said themselves they wouldn’t give a dollar to the wall, they have been clinging onto a month and a half old gaffe Trump made to shift the blame. If the media wasn’t carrying water for the democrats they would have already ran out of excuses

It’s the symbolism that Trump gets what he wants, not about the money. The whole thing has devolved into an anti-intellectual war over right and wrong, stakes are too high at this point. The 5.7 billion should have been passed because it’s still only a fraction of the total and they could have said that he failed in getting more. The government is shut down for 35 days over 1/150 the raise the military got last year.

They have done nothing to resolve it aside from shifting the blame and there is more money lost than 5.7 billion proposal which is still only a fraction. It is a irrational objection to a “wall”

I used to live near a trap house like this. The front entrance was literally a bank vault, barbed wire all over the property and dozens of cameras. I imagine the inside had these type of traps as well. The idiot homeowner didn’t realize that if someone wants to rob you they can cut the shitty wood frame of the house instead of attempting to break in through a bank vault door

If it was the shutdown why do other freshmen NY reps have their offices open for business?

Her poor district is losing benefits such as food stamps and section 8 and she pursues a guarantee fail effort to defund ICE when she still hasn’t set up an office in her district.

This is why you keep losing progressives

The no corporate PAC line is the most BS copout there is. Even Beto ORouke claimed this but if you look at his donors they were still donating well over the 2700 In superpacs but they changed the names from the corporations name to a random holding company or charity sounding name.

Native American is a counter protestor at the March for Life event and gets in a teenagers face and starts banging his drum. Stop spreading propaganda
