    I've responded to that point already.

    For a guy touted as a deal maker (salesman) he sure does piss off a lot of people

    Praising Un and North Korea and hating on allies and screaming about tariffs on dairy as if the market we have for dairy isn’t 100% bull****

    Fake outrage. How about empowering women by actually giving them power such as heading up the cia for the first time. Who did that again?

    I dont care about spending or budget cuts. So, I dont have numbers - I vote for people and pay them through my taxes to watch the numbers

    The way it works in a representative government

    I tell them with my vote what I want they make it happen
    As far as I am concerned we go back to the tax rates of the 1950's
    See, you never read Gatsby. You will never be one of them -- but you still hold out hope then carry their water.

    Dude.

    You made a post showing Republicans are cutting $300b from child heqth care.

    That's a huge cut.

    So I asked you to show the numbers.

    You refuse.

    Which makes me certain you're just making **** up again.

    “I don’t think there’s ever been a time in the post-World War II period where issues as important as nuclear weapons are on the table, and there is no serious scientist there to help the president through the thicket."

    Donald Trump is the first president since 1941 not to name a science adviser, and he's going into nuclear talks with North Korea--a topic in which scientific expertise is essential. How the Trump administration is systematically marginalizing science and scientists.

    Yeah, unless you show me an academic study/statistical analysis mentioning a higher rape percentage among Muslims or persons of Middle East descent, I'll say that it's a generic culture trend in Europe causing the uptick as a devil's advocate. That's how argument testing works - start with a hypothesis and then test it.

    I would suspect that men born in Middle Eastern countries with more restrictive regulations and culture have different expectations on the roles of women and that it may lead to different attitudes about rape, but it hasn't proven true about those immigrants in the past in the US according to the statistics from the Department of Justice I cited above (92% of perpetrators were white, black or unknown, and there was no separation of Middle Eastern as there would be if it were a large/significant number), so I write it off as my being biased.

    There is also the issue (as far as separation goes) that most Middle Easterners identify as white, so it's basically impossible to prove that they are a majority of the cause of anything. I seriously doubt there is much if any scientific/statistical evidence that Muslims are the cause of new EU rape or whatever as they would not be separated by religion in these studies or in race. Correlation is not causation in this case, especially with changing definitions of sexual assault.

    It's got to be pretty strenuous to repeatedly try to sell chicken**** as chicken salad with the full knowledge that whatever you do is likely to be undone within a matter of days.
