Economists with PhDs could go to the White House and explain to Trump that tariffs are not what he thinks they are and he would tell them all that they don't know what they're talking about.

also having strong opinions on things that they have no knowledge on, no firsthand experience of, and no empathy for those affected (see: abortion, immigration)

alternatively sometimes it's lighting a bag of poo poo on fire, turning to run away before anyone can see you, but twisting your ankle and falling in pain face-first into the burning poo poo bag

What did Kaepernick's kneeling protest have to do with the military again? I thought his protest was in regards to the treatment of PoC by the police.

Nothing, conservatives didn't want to talk about police brutality against black people because they either don't believe or openly support it, so they change it to " disrespecatin ARE TRUPS"

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Kaepernick's protest method was, in fact, recommended to him by a vet because they believed it would make the point without being disrespectful to ARE TROOPS

Not to mention all the vets that publicity supported him. Conservatives insulted them also, saying they weren't TRUE vets.

Right now it sounds like his way out is to drum up support and donations from the hogs, considering he was on track on giving a win to the hated libs.

There's a pretty good chance that a big cause was that he got rid of one of the big brands in sports gear which drove away customers who would prefer more options regardless of politics

Colorado Springs is insanely conservative as mentioned, so they decided to cut all their funding instead of raise taxes.

they elected a real estate guy with no political background who was an ENTREPRENEUR who would RUN GOVERNMENT LIKE A BUSINESS!

they turned off street lights so copper thieves took all the wiring. it was a total disaster. Just financial seppuku.

the voters eventually got fed up, voted for taxes and things got way better.

Lol it's gonna own when vaccine denial, already a slightly conservative phenomenon blamed on the left becomes another climate change, where it's a point of order for one side to doom the human race and the media does a both sides.
