AA) thank you, Skuj, for confirming my A). My first two words were, “No Evidence.” After all this time and money, Mueller has produced NOTHING. It sounds like you think he eventually will......better grab some popcorn while you wait.

BB) ummmm, now you are confusing me......where did I say I didn’t have a problem with colluding? Not once have I said I’m in favor of, agree with or recommend it. However, collusion isn’t illegal and that’s the truth! Also, if collusion was illegal......why would Muller need to keep investigating???

CC) I totally agree and I believe that is what will end up happening!

Skuj 04.23.2018 02:26 AM

Wait...it is not illegal to collude with a foreign power that wishes to influence an election? Really? This whole Mueller thing is for nought?

As for the "no evidence" thing, please link me to something....ANYTHING that Mueller has said or reported yet. (I'm following the developments and eating popcorn.)

Trump keeps jumping to his conclusion, obviously skewered, and his minions hang on every tweet.

Let's wait for the fucking completion/report, shall we?

i 100% disagree with bytor, but i respect him— he’s a good person

we just have completely different backgrounds, religions, ideologies, but i don’t think he’s evil nor a lunatic.

if we were both in congress, i’d have drinks with him at parties, go to his house to eat some cajun food— and then oppose his agenda at work.

these days congress doesn’t drink together so everybody is fucking polarized.

anyway there is this map of the u.s.a. that shows the different “nations” that compose us. yep. it’s a big country with a lot of people and not everybody is going to be the same. i’m gonna post it here in a minute.

per that map i’ve gone spanish caribbean -> tidewater -> dc/midlands border -> el norte -> far west (where i am now).

meanwhile i’m reading bytor as a deep south+new france blend.

because i moved to the far west i have changed in how i see the guns i used to abhor when i lived in dc (midlands/tidewater border with deep international blend)... (i think that’s why ilducio has removed me from his screen, lol, but we’ll never know.)

having grown up as a nomad, i can see the different cultures and i try to understand their particularities. some things we have in common, some are irreconcileable differences, but let’s not have hissy fits about them.

Botflies, also known as warble flies, heel flies and gadflies, are a family of flies technically known as Oestridae. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut. The Dermatobia hominis is the only species of botfly known to parasitize humans routinely, though other species of flies cause myiasis in humans.

the immigration business is a red herring. a scapegoat to focus the rage of the ignorant populace. i’m not saying *illegal* immigration is not a problem— it’s just not the problem they’re making it to be in order to capture the popular imagination. and the racist forces that go with it.

white male unemployment is not caused my immigration or the EPA. it has to do with globalization and automation (“china” and “robots”). but someone has to catch the rage.

it could be solved through job training and education but for republicans that would be “government meddling in the economy” so they left it to darwinian market forces and thus began the mass extinction.

the huckster in chief comes along and starts screaming of “coal” and other old technologies to make it look like he’s doing something. he’s just pandering. but it works because it appeals to anger and wishful thinking which are easier than improving education and job training for the industries of the PRESENT and the future.

pathetic really. pathetic.

get your degree at trump university.

here’s a little funny story to illustrate the imbecility: i know this navajo indian that was taken by his company to pennsylvania to work construction in a coalmine (there are coal mines here too so workers are moved around). he’s there working, come sunday he goes to the dairy queen asks for whatever, the employee there tells him THEY DON’T SERVE FUCKING MEXICANS. (because he looks “mexican”—indian face and with a moustache).

AYAYAYAYAY AMERICA. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.

meanwhile, it looks like outdoor recreation (parks, wilderness, etc) is a bigger industry than mining. but hey, coal! because coal! ha ha ha ha. fucksakes. read some books, people. go to school.

Well said. I've almost never agreed with him and yet he's never pissed me off.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think he'd ever be this person:

I am personally convinced that "illegals" aren't taking our jobs. I'm convinced they're taking jobs that white americans think they're too good for and don't even bother trying to fill.

this has always, for centuries, been a country of immigrants, and suddenly immigration is the #1 problem here? bullshit and hucksterism. pure fucking distraction.

Living in NYC I see they take the jobs of gentrification. After the banksters put the senior citizens out on the streets, the new immigrants are there to demolish the building and create noise and filth for years as the construction goes on. Americans generally don't like to take a job that puts 100's of senior citizens out on the street.

The assholes who make noise day after day in the buildings around me so the landlords can raise rents are immigrants and probably illegals.

Its a factual observation. Immigrants make my life worse! I don't enjoy this conclusion, but the facts don't lie.

he's got excellent taste in music, but the xenophobia and racism is pretty impossible to take for me, thus the ignore. I wish he'd get some help:confused:

whataboutism and unending distractions

you didn't even read the whole article!

lol clickbait headlines

!@#$%! 04.26.2018 11:28 AM

borracho! nice cherrypicking

the UFW helped immigrants with their papers

it's right there in that source

Huerta disputes the criticism, pointing out that the UFW helped craft the 1986 amnesty agreement signed by former President Ronald Reagan that legalized the immigration status of nearly three million people.

“I can tell you as a founder of the union, we used to prepare immigration papers for people free of charge,” Huerta said. “What Cesar would say is, ‘if my mother crossed the picket line, I’d be against my mother.’ He was against people breaking strikes. He wasn’t against the undocumented.”

anything that makes life better for non-whites, and seemingly makes life less awesome for whites is put down like a rabid dog in Amerikkka.

the funny thing about that is that it isn't a zero sum game, like some of our uneducated people think. What is good for our less fortunate citizens is actually very good for all of us.:)
