Don't get your hopes up libcafe... Just wait and see.
I would joke that he can take the next four years off if he wants. But, I have a feeling Bannon does not take vacations.
Can people just mention the simpleton in their posts and not quote him...you're defeating my ignore button
I don't want to read his gibberish, but I don't want to leave the thread either.
Oh and has someone already pointed out, the feds are already in chicago...or that, there are cities actually worse than Chicago...or that, more than half the guns used during violent crimes in Chicago were from out of state.
If you're referring to me, I can TYPE IN SPECIAL characters for you, if you think that English is gibberish or if you are just a bit challenged, ok buddy?
. Although I don't recall ever replying to you. Oh, and no one forces you to visit the thread. You can watch MSNBC instead.If you're referring to me, I can TYPE IN SPECIAL characters for you, if you think that English is gibberish or if you are just a bit challenged, ok buddy?
Ok I might have missed something... I've kept away from the day to day news the last couple of weeks (and the caf) in an effort to preserve my sanity. O'Reilly really claimed more people died in Chicago than in a war zone, and the orange one parroted it?
I don't disagree that we have to counter false news with facts to keep them at bay. In light of the sheer volume of fake news I've given up on that though and now limit myself to disdaining those who believe them.
Wait and see how many cut regulations will negatively impact workers rights, health and environment. But as long as you aren't personally immediately concerned, it seems as if you don't bother.
That's pretty much why I never post or read the general forums here. Being outnumbered 1 to 10 to liberals, socialists, communists and whatnot, kinda beats the fun
Sometimes you just carried away and reply to 10 different posters until you realize it's too much to have a good debate.http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/01/30...s-no-white-house-paper-trail-trump-president/
Emperor Bannon. Every new revelation is more disconcerting than the last one.

Trump notoriously does not read much. He gets most of his information from TV. We basically have the old guy who yells watching Fox News the President now.
Typical snowflake, just put on ignore any opinion that is different from his own agenda
Unfortunately not just pathetic but dangerous. He doesn't even get who was shot by whom. How morally rotten must a person be to work for this piece of human excrements?
Maddow on Russia again, great work again and more pieces of the puzzle falling in to place.
It's more to do with your vacuous posts. You ignore every substantive attempt people make to engage you and get involved in the petty ones.Typical snowflake, just put on ignore any opinion that is different from his own agenda
Yea it's a mess... Made me even more cynical than I already am...
I like to get different view points, don't like the whole idea of sitting in an echo chamber. But Trump sympathizers seem to lack compelling arguments for the most part.

Most of us don't consider ourselves as liberals, socialist or communists though. I'd hate to categorize myself in that way and couldn't possible say what the majority here would be (aside of them being United supporters)... It's just a lot of people disagreeing with you, so you choose to label them as a group of one of those... (To me the word liberal doesn't have any meaning at all anymore, they only exist in rightwing heads. Inside those rightwing heads liberals have gone from being socialists to being free trade loving corporates within 6 months or so).
It's not as if a lot of those blaming 'liberals' had much knowledge of liberalism. Hell, most of the time even those being labelled 'liberal' don't themselves. It's become a meaningless slur.
Which I, as a liberal, hugely regret.
FYI this is what liberalism is to me. Even if wiki succumbed to labeling it 'classical liberalism' these days.
Yeah that's why I listened to Trumps campaign 'speeches' and attempted to understand him (and his adorers) as much as I possible could. But it only made even less sense after listening to him.
Call it that if you want, he probably thinks there's no point in engaging.... Facts don't seem to work on you.Typical snowflake, just put on ignore any opinion that is different from his own agenda
Good reporting there.
I was wondering what happened to Brown's suggestion that California might become independent. It's far fetched but it would be terrific if California and some other states would build the United States of Modern America, leaving the racist morons with the Narcissist in Chief alone.
Dumb idea but, I always wonder what a NY/NJ/New England country would be.
Stuff like this is silly...it's like how Texas has been trying to leave forever and ever
There are plenty of rednecks in CA, NY, MA.
As appealing as that idea seems to be, it'd just end up leaving a lot of innocent people in the shit. What about people of color in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi for instance who will then live under the most hateful, racist government presently possible without anyone standing up for them? And that's probably the least of our worries then.
Not rednecks per say but, NY gave us Trump, Hannity and O'Reily.

Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago PD have also a slightly different side to what you're suggesting here.
The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site'
A Digital Archive Documents Two Decades of Torture by Chicago Police
Amid continued accusations of police misconduct, the force must contend with a digital rehashing of a sordid chapter in its history.
Cover-Up in Chicago
THERE’S been a cover-up in Chicago. The city’s leaders have now brought charges against a police officer, Jason Van Dyke, for the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. But for more than a year, Chicago officials delayed the criminal process, and might well have postponed prosecution indefinitely, had it not been for a state court forcing their hand.
Btw, that last article is for anyone who entertains the laughable notion that the Left believes in identity or even race politics over class politics.

In Chicago, the story has been the rise in shootings and murders in the city’s working-class black neighborhoods. In 2016, there were 4,379 people shot in Chicago, and 797 people killed. The overwhelmingly majority of both were African-American.
The news media’s nonsensical explanations for the violence include retaliation. But that is only matched by the nonsense offered by elected officials, which includes the absence of role models and poor parenting. What is almost never offered as at least part of the answer is how Chicago has the highest black unemployment rate of the nation’s five largest cities at 25 percent, that nearly half of black men aged 20 to 24 are neither in school nor employed, that Chicago has the third-highest poverty rate of large cities in the US, and that it is the most segregated city in the country.

Even the Obamas often push the "role models" bit.
Yeah, her work on Russia has been exceptional and very well researched.
It's really quite sad to be honest, just the same as the UK leaving the EU. It's a time where the world needs more stability and more togetherness, not going back to how things were decades or even centuries ago. It upsets me no end, yet then you see the rallies like the Woman's march or the Travel ban protests in the USA and the UK and I think that maybe there is a chance things will be ok again, because there are enough of us who want unity and togetherness over selfishness and greed.
18th century America would welcome rednecks from USMA, no? Likewise, USMA would welcome people with similarly open minds and tolerance.
As stated in my first post, it's far fetched, it won't happen. I'm aware of that. OTOH, it may be the best solution. Why should tea party freaks, evangelicals and racists be allowed to suppress tolerant, modern Americans?
But they wouldn't be successful without evangelical freaks.
Thanks for pointing out the nutcases, chaps.
You'd be surprised at the result.
I keep trying to click this, but it's not leading me to a buzzfeed article.
I'm sure she shares that hope.
She was a temp, with nothing to lose. Except her integrity of course. The head of the US Department of Justice refuses to carry out a legal order of the US president. The American constitutional system is safe in the hands of officials like that.
Very Obamaesque. Wait until it can't hurt you, and then betray your office and your duty. Obama, having spent his presidency assuring Israel that he 'had their back', plants a knife in that back on his way out of the Oval Office. And this woman, ordered to implement a directive she doesn't agree with, instead of resigning on the matter of principle, chooses to stay in office and defy the constitutional authority of the President. I expect the Democratic party will reward her well.
It seems your boyfriends pick for AG doesn't take the same view as you.
I hope they do too, she seems to be in agreement with the rulings of 5 federal judges about the lawfulness of Trump's actions.
Whatever they do to Yates can never match the GOP reception for this hero of the law Kim Davis
Let's hope he won't try clicking this.
