Hey, at least Trump is going to reach out to the CBC... so long as the black reporter he assumes must be friends with them can arrange a meeting.

There is a meaningful discussion to be had about why it affects minorities at higher rates and what we can do as a nation to remedy that reality, but I don't think it changes the fact that it does in fact have the effect of disenfranchising minority voters at a disproportionate rate and that in many cases is the actual intent behind the laws, regardless of what reasons are actually being given.

Imagine the response if Trump wanted to meet with a whites only group.
"Donald Trump will serve a second term as president of the United States.
It’s over."

like his rally this weekend ?
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
You are just scraping the tip of the iceberg. You have to get to the heart of the matter. The war on drugs. Complaining about voter id laws is like complaining a mosquito bit you while someome is hacking you to death with a machete.
And I dont know what your prediction about Yamamoto's sleeping giant comment was to comment on it.

How is it disenfranchisement when it is free to obtain? Explain that to me. Or is that you calling black people lazy because they can't get a ride to the DMV and obtain a free government issue ID. Because that is the only thing I can think of and it is racist to me. Or is it because it is another talking point of how blacks are been taking advantage of because of our past history when most of it because of the Democrats paternalistic ways?
I can understand it if it cost a lot of money but you can have scammers come in and do their deeds if that is the case (selling your vote?)
Nah, I'm not trying to suggest that black people are incapable of obtaining valid ID, just that right now it's statistically accurate that minorities are less likely to have valid ID, and until that changes, voter ID policies are going to impact these communities. My complaint is thus that pushing these laws are really primarily done to take advantage of this fact and affect the ability of these people to vote until such time that the statistics change.

The Japanese thought we were wussies and didn't have the guts (among other things) to fight back against them. Yamamoto went to college in the US and knew us well. When he heard that the Pearl Harbor attack happened BEFORE the official declaration of war he knew that would instantly unite us, and it did. The Repubs can make fun of the Dems for being wussies and generally speaking I agree with him, but if they ever piss them off to that "tipping point" so that they get up off their arses and actually start taking action, and I mean real political action, not just marching or burning ****e now and the Repubs will be in serious trouble... The question is where is that tipping point and how long until the Repubs reach it?
Well I disagree and I really really want us to have a civil war. Democrats will win the Presidency sometime in the next 8 years. Either Trump will lose reelection or the democrats will win the election after that.
If there was ever a strong violent resistance they would be labeled terrorists and criminals. The police are well trained and well equipped to handle kind of situation. There is already a strong us vs them mentality within police departments. If need be the military wouls be brought in. Tyranny is already here and its been here for a long time. We have accepted it.
