Nothing says thoughtful and compassionate young man more than donning a MAGA hat on national TV as a point of pride. Nothing but love and tolerance in that heart of gold.
Oh look, blungld preaching tolerance by being intolerant again.

I did neither of those things. I made a snide, satirical assessment of him based on his actions. If you want to be critical, at least get what i did correct. If you would like my opinion more directly, this kid seems like a jerk, and the act of donning a MAGA hat in that context as a point or pride is an act of aggression and a show of loyalty over compassion, collegiality, and character.

But what's with your recent targeting of me? I guess I really hit a nerve asking you to introspect and consider toning down the act.

Abby D. Phillip on Twitter: "It's highly misleading for Pence to say Officer Dave Patrick Underwood was killed "during the riots in Oakland."

"I wouldn't be canceled. I fought back hard to expose the media for what they did to me and won a personal victory."
At the end of the video, he donned a MAGA hat."
-Axios

This kid is a punk who deserved all the flak he got and most of his classmates acted like punks, too.



That kid did nothing wrong. The Native American got in his face, not vice versa.
To expand it a bit further, the Native American guy tried to get in the middle of what he thought was a brewing confrontation between these kids and some "Black Israelite" extremists they were yelling at. Ultimately no one attacked anyone and the whole thing was blown out of proportion by various media outlets.

Though I will also point out that the Covington kids also started mocking the Native Americans with the Tomahawk Chop, so even though nothing criminal happened I wouldn't say they came out looking like angels either.
Damn that pesky First Amendment! When can we finally cancel that?

I don't understand how this response relates to mine.
I think they should arrest all Atlanta Brave and Florida State students for doing the tomahawk chop, even though it's not criminal for them to do it - they don't come out of games looking like angels either.

Again, how does this relate to anything I said? When did I call for arrests?

So you don't think it's rude to start doing that in front of a bunch of Native Americans?

Regardless, this is not a free speech issue. Saying someone looks like a jerk for doing or saying something is not a violation of free speech. It's just evidence that we both have it and can exercise it.

I watched the video for myself. Those kids were really disrespectful and Sandmann is a smirking liar.

When Ivanka is lecturing the nation tonight about how we should run our country (she gave similar lectures in the Board Room to contestants on The Apprentice), you might want to have this article in mind. You do have to respect the tRump Crime Family for upping their game from ripping off real estate investors in Manhattan to swindling an entire nation. The tRump's have about as much standing to lecture us on the proper course for America as their passionate supporter, Jerry "I'm a Watcher" Falwell, Jr., has to lecture us on matters of faith and morals.

Trump is looting the country? How? All of the looters I've seen on tv don't look like Trump people. Speaking of looks Bearrister, isn't Bette Midler Butt ugly? Probably why she says such ugly things. Barbra is kind of bad looking too. They are both great singers. Have you ever seen Rose Delauro? The ultimate two bagger.

It was completely predictable that this is all you would come up with. Attack the source, don't challenge the facts, and pivot to a different subject matter.

As I have said here before, the reason it is a losing battle to debate with Fox News inspired Conservatives is:
They drop an unsubstantiated Talking Point. You could spend days crafting a think tank White Paper with citations in rebuttal, and then they counter with another two line unsubstantiated Talking Point. That strategy wouldn't get you very far in litigation other than having your client's case dismissed and getting sued for malpractice...but in today's arena of political discourse, that lazy man's game plan has guys like you, tRump, his kids, spokespersons, supporters and hosts of Fox News opinion shows thinking that the opposition has been slam dunked.*


*BTW, the fact unsubstantiated bullsh@it don't fly in court is why tRump always settles his cases.

I never liked Bill Clinton personally. I believe he has weak character. I think he was a decent POTUS. In all seriousness, other than lying about his sexual indiscretions, did he also lie with regard to imparting information relating to government, similar to Conway and McEnany? If you provide a reading assignment, I will do my homework.
