OP suggestion: list some credible and not so credible journalists so dumbasses like me don't have to ask if they're credible every time something is posted from Twitter, etc.

Voting for both of these things and also a 72 point blinking "DO NOT RE LITIGATE THE 2016 ELECTION YOU FUCKMANS" to be included in the OP.

Wait, what do you mean here? Why would a White Supremacist get mad about what happened to the Branch Davidians? They were a kooky Christian cult but I don't think race had anything to do with it. I've seen a black survivor of the group on an interview show.

Because there's a deep commingling of the dominionist / sovereign citizen / militia movements and white supremacy, whether overt or subtle, is a common theme to every one of them. Specifically Ruby Ridge's connections to Waco and the perception of it being a government crackdown on White Folk.

You should watch the Frontline series on Netflix (I think they're all still streaming). Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City are sort of like a documentary trilogy and sum up a lot of the general

Our economy and our businesses are suffering from slack demand, giving poor people more money is the most effective way to increase demand.

Other countries already have a $20 minimum wage and it's fine. You don't have to imagine what Economist Magazine might say, you can look at other countries that have had it for years.

A friend of mine invested $2400 in machines recently and has been averaging $25-30 in profit a day from it(after electricity costs) which actually seems pretty reasonable to me. Even if you only made $20 a day, you'd break even after a few months and would then have passive money generators. If you could invest 10-12000 and a few months you could then be making $100 or so a day for doing jack poo poo, which seems like a really sweet deal to me. But I've never done it myself and don't know much about it.

Almost 500,000 people attended protests both for and against Trump. :psyduck:


they don't qualify but I bet the distinction is the original planned intent of the protest. you're attending if you're counter-protesting.
