neo nazi running in California spits on israel flag.
i’m not a fan of israel’s politics, but i’m also not grouping myself in with this asshole.- Too late. You're a Nazi. ;)Morning_star

"He said Trump would be “opening a Pandora’s box, which is tantamount to war. I don’t think Donald Trump wants war.”
Events since Trump’s announcement on Tuesday vindicate Macron’s warning. The lid on Pandora’s box has at least been opened. Inside appears to be the long-flagged direct war between Israel and Iran."

There’s No Good Excuse For The Racist Impact Of Michigan’s Medicaid Proposal
The plan’s architects say they didn’t mean to disadvantage black cities, but they had easy ways not to.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/e…
Under the bill, Medicaid recipients in 17 mostly white counties, all represented by Republican senators, would be exempt from the work requirements, according to an analysis by the Center for Michigan, a liberal think tank. But Medicaid recipients in the six municipalities with the highest unemployment rates, including Detroit and Flint, would have to work at least 29 hours a week to keep their health benefits. All six cities have black majorities or significant numbers of black residents.
The disparity stems from a provision in the bill that would lift the work requirements in counties with unemployment rates of over 8.5 percent — but not from cities with similar joblessness rates. Since most urban counties in Michigan contain both high-unemployment cities and their richer suburbs, Michigan’s biggest cities would be subject to the work requirements.

- This goes to show you, you can't judge a President by the color of his skin.robotron3k
- There is another opinion: there has never been a more disastrous start by any president in the modern historyzaq
- Yes that has been the standard opinion for those left in the Democratic party... But because Trump is a white and male he is assumed to be the devil.robotron3k
- PatheticSalarrue
- Robo, what a nonsense. White and male were all other presidents except the previous one. And all of them had much better start.zaq
- robo, you off your meds or did another ugly girl reject your pathetic advances?monospaced
- Oil exploration boomed under Bush and Obama let it continue, nothing to do with Trump.zarkonite
- The economy was already growing under Obama, it's actually slowed down under Trump. His policies are the leading cause of that.zarkonite
- North Korea is a nuclear power now, with ICBM technology. Congratulations to Trump on letting that happen under his watch.zarkonite
- Isreal is now being openly attacked by Iran, thanks to Trump's escalation of violence in the middle east.zarkonite

I kind of wish omg were around so he could tell us why this is actually draining the swamp. Er...robo?
- It's fucking ridiculous of Trump to do that!! I wonder how his predecessors ever... https://bit.ly/2vh7Z… Doh! Looks like this normal procedure, carry on.robotron3k
- No Obama in that list? Oh well...nbq
- Many probably don't remember, Obama was President before Trump, but it's against US law to criticize Black Presidents. Don't know why, it just is.robotron3k
- Classic what-about-ism. The examples cited ended 70 years ago. And we've supposed to have advanced as a societyallthethings

- The problem remains that the left can't be bothered to vote. None of this would be happening if y'all got out there and put Hilary in charge.zarkonite

the pre-summit statement by North Korea is interesting.
they really don't like Bolton or the precedents set by previous US deals with other countries. Kim doesn't want to be Gadaffi
They won't swap nuclear developments for economic aid and expect the US to stop threatening them first.
They describe the trump administration as a "ridiculous comedy"
