The Romper Room of the Elite

Terrible. BTW, how are those Chinese trademarks Drumpf sold out US foreign policy for working out for the genius Ivanka?

In Case You Missed the Democratic Debates

…and we still have troops at risk in Afghanistan and Iraq. More failure. Sad.

Why the Orange Scumbag fandom? He hasn’t achieved his policy goals/campaign promises: Muslims can still enter the country, Mexicans and Central Americans are still pouring in, no wall has been built, Obamacare wasn’t repealed (even though he had a Republican majority in both houses of Congress his first year), his tax cuts rest on the backs of working people and we still have troops at risk in Afghanistan and Iraq. He’s a failure. Sad.

My Thoughts on the Summit

Too bad about Drumpf’s painful bone spurs; I’m sure he wanted to serve, like Mueller, a rich Princeton grad who could have easily got out of it but struggled and persevered so he COULD serve.

“They’re Going to Kill this Guy”

But the vestiges of racial injustice and inequality continue to take a toll (for example, here in IL, the segregation of racial communities coupled with a public educational system largely funded by local real estate taxes results in less than an even playing field for kids) and the sooner things are remedied, the better off we all are. Its in our collective interest to ‘mine’ the minds of all kids–who knows where the next surgeon, professor, lawyer or pharmacist may come from?

Gail,

Thanks for your reply and sharing your poignant story. As a father, I can imagine how difficult that must have been.

However, the black/white distinction as to ‘pride’ is not exactly analogous for both groups. Most African-Americans are slave descendants; those circumstances didn’t permit identification with their tribes and nations in their motherland, thus no opportunity to show, e.g., Bakongo pride. Most American whites know the distinct culture from which they came. Thus the proliferation of groups like the Gaelic League, AHEPA, etc. and celebrations surrounding St. Patrick’s Day, Greek Independence Day, et al. There’s an important historical legacy that binds most blacks. Although other ethnic groups have also suffered (“No blacks, no dogs, no Irish” policies, the Omaha riot against the Greeks early in the last century), no systematic phenomenon so traumatically bound whites together.

The abomination is Drumpf’s suggesting an equivalency between racist white nationalists and those who protest against that vile and un-American ideology. Stop defending him. We all, including liberals like myself, need to be working towards a Pence presidency. I may disagree with Pence on most issues, but he’s demonstrated competence, knows how things are supposed to work, has a set of values within the range of acceptable American norms and shows people respect. In all of these ways, he’s unlike Drumpf.

That’s true. We Detroiters are the baddest of badasses!
