Trump has made America less racist

[Sparko]

But you are forgetting Identity Politics which says white people are racist by default just because they are white.

[mikewhitney]

Wait. The MSM has revealed to us that this is racism that is undetectable among white men. Thus any scientific study is automatically flawed.

[Mountain Man]

I'm sure Obama deserves most if not all of the credit. It's like the economy where a president's policies don't start having an effect until the next guy takes office.

[mikewhitney]

Worse yet. Science is based on a Christian philosophical foundation which said that nature wasn't whimsical but followed laws. Thus, science, which is based on a Middle Eastern Judeo-Christian backdrop, is biased and cannot be grounds for understanding the world.

[Cow Poke]

And our very own Trump-haters continue to accuse him of racism.

What really bothers me about all this is how childish congress is acting. I am not excusing the republicans either, they had control for 2 years and wasted it.

We elected congress to govern our country, makes laws, and DO something. Instead for the last 3 years all they have done is bicker and fight about nonsense that I bet they don't even believe themselves. We have seen over and over how the same people who complain about how bad we are treating illegal aliens were themselves all for tighter border control, against sanctuary cities, etc. In other words, they just take the opposite view of the President, just so they can complain and argue. And in the meantime, nothing gets done. [which, thinking about it, might be a good thing]

They complain about immigration, healthcare, the economy, etc, but that's all they do. They don't actually legislate anything or fix anything.

They are no better than the millions of armchair quarterbacks spouting off on facebook and twitter (or tweb). But they COULD do something where we can't. That's what we elected them for. Not to fight like 5 year olds.

Yup - it has devolved into "the OTHER side is WORSE!" and not much attention is being given to "What's GOOD for the Country".

Most of the time, it seems like when the actually DO something it makes things WORSE.

Thus my bracketed statement: [which, thinking about it, might be a good thing]

but considering that, couldn't we save a LOT of money and effort if we just disbanded them? After all, if they get rid of the electoral college and the states have no more sovereignty and everything is popular vote, we could just all vote for everything.

Which is why I believe the first 5 words of the first amendment should be our Nation's Motto and Policy - Congress shall make no law.

You want to give the likes of Jussie Smollet and company THAT MUCH power. You're a brave man.

They would eventually self-destruct. Once California and New York implode the rest of us can get back to our normal lives.

They'd latch onto the rest of the nation like a humongous tick, draining the rest of the country dry keeping themselves and their ideology afloat, and wouldn't stop until we were in the same boat as Greece -- but with nobody to help keep us afloat. IOW, they would be sure to take the rest of us with them.

They would eat themselves first. It has already started.
