My wife deals with lying ass Vets trying to scam the system almost everyday for a monthly check. Does that also mean you'll be looking for a way to game the system as well? Can we lump you all together?
Are we still pretending that BLM is a legitimate organization with a valid argument? Are they not front and center every time some riot and looting breaks out? Would they not be burning down Chicago as we speak if the roles were reversed?
The last time veterans rioted was after WW1. So I don't get the comparison at all.
My point is in the article. Hate crimes committed by Trump supporters after the election are non existent. But by telling a group of people for the past 70 years that they're perpetual victims and not responsible for their actions, you create an environment where young people think this shit is acceptable.

It will be ashame if ever the intelligence (FBI, CIA) becomes partisan like our Supreme Court.
Ain't that the truth. I'm still waiting for Comey to resign.

A black man talking about race is "divisive" in their book or even racist.
If one of your neighbors called the police cause someone they didn't recognize was outside your house, the police showed up, and the guy started screaming racism, so the cops just left, would you be ok with that? I'm sure you'd be as quiet as a newborn kitten if all of your shit was stolen and the cops response was "he told us he lived here and called us racist for asking". What is the right answer there? I don't know why we're talking about this years later, but when someone starts screaming at a cop after being approached, they're the aggressor and escalator.
We're not the ones saying people can't talk about race based on their color. When "whitey" wants to comment on race, we're told they can't understand the black experience. Only one side wants speech codes and thought police. You're being disingenuous here.

Right.
"Let's see"
As opposed to filling 40 pages on a Guns N Roses message board declaring him the greatest President since Reagan.
If that's directed at me, I certainly haven't dedicated a page to praising Trump as Reagan, let alone 40. The most favorable comment I've given him is that he's in the position to be a JFK or Reagan, which other pundits have said. He's in a unique position to get the GOP to agree to things it never would have under a Democrat and no other Republican would propose. 1 Trillion in Infrastructure?! Obama didn't even try that when he had both houses. Reform to the tax code? No one has seriously tried that. And while I'll be the first to condemn the Iraq war (remember, I spent a year there and lost friends), but I'll also condemn Obama's foreign policy, specifically in the Libya and the ME. Whereas Bush went in there guns blazing, Obama acted just enough to destabilize the region and we now have a broken Libya, Syria and Iraq. And if Syria turns around, Putin gets all the credit. We're the sole superpower in the world. I don't believe we have to be involved in every conflict, but when something on the scale of Iraq and Syria occurs and millions of migrants are heading into Europe as a direct result of our actions and inaction, I say we have an obligation to be involved. Europe owns their own retarded refugee programs and they certainly have blood on their hands too, but the US is the primary culprit in this region.
If Trump is able to get shit done in congress, he automatically becomes more succesful than Obama has been the past 6 years, and let's be honest, his only real contribution was the ACA, which he struggled to get his own party to get behind. As soon as that goes away, there's not really much his supporters can point to as a legacy.

So Trump in the past 24 hours has got Ford to cancel a plant in Mexico that would have cost jobs in the American plant, and got the GOP to reverse its closure of the independent ethics committee. Mitch gave credit, but at some point you guys are going to have to recognize this guy may be the best thing for the US in a long time. Especially if he gets the GOP to pass his 1 Trillion dollar infrastructure investment.
As someone who works in a Fortune 100 and has 9 years in the military, I can say it's refreshing to see a leader and his cabinet with actual work experience rather than career politicians and academics. Theory is great, but actual experience in executing and management is vastly more valuable.
Let's see if he delivers.

Actually if I recall, Obama regretted his words and admitted after the fact that Gates' actions led to the arrest. Police were called by neighbors thinking Gates' house was being broken into. At the time the young officer was on high alert to what he thought could be a real crime. But Gates went bat shit crazy at him which led to an arrest. Race had nothing to do with it. The charges were dropped and Obama regretted the comments.
That's how I recall it too. Officer approached Gates due to a call, and Gates felt the need to inject all the protest and rage of the Civil Rights era into 2 minutes, and was rightfully detained. You don't get to scream and yell at police and tell them how it is. That's not how the system works. That's why Garner died, you don't get to tell the police they can't arrest you or talk to you and go about doing your own thing.
And can we finally put an end to the idea that "racism" enables black people to act without consequence? As heinous as it may be, if I called a person of color the N word, that doesn't give them the right to assault me. Too much bad behavior is excused because one side claims racial offense.

What a fuckin joke.
His username was Waffen-SS & he pretends he doesn't know why he was banned, or that evil visited his door
Yea, I can see why that might rub people the wrong way. I keep it simple and use RF or some variant of that character for all my toons and accounts.

Sony banned my account from PSN. Sent me an email telling me "we're not going to tell you why, don't bother asking and there's nothing you can do to reverse it".
Cunts. Last time either Sony or Rockstar see a cent from me. If there is even a whif of their involvement I'm boycotting. 2 years I put into that character and they just wipe it. I sincerely felt evil visiting my door when it happened.
What did you do to get banned? I got banned this year from blizzard, but because I got caught botting.

Like I said, the grid was never hacked. More sensationalist nonsense meant to stir the pot. Quit buying into the hyperbole.
