In Facebook the comments looks much better, but there he can ban and delete posters and posts easy. I think, on twitter that's not possible.

Lead the RESISTANCE from 10,000 miles away, Miss Not America. Trump is "technically impeachable" in the same way that you are "technically lucid". Trump is impeachable on several issues. Of the two Constitution experts on the NPR interview, one was Ethics Director under Bush, and the other had the same job under a Democratic prez. They're probably the best-versed duo on the planet on the topic. One of them formally filed a suit against FBI's Comey. One interesting tidbit in the interview: Any American who feels he/she has lost employment due to a Trump business, can legally sue the president. Another tidbit: It's known that Trump has his name in big gold letters on large buildings in many cities around the world. What a choice target that would make for anyone wanting to hurt his business or piss him off (which is very easy, because he's so thin-skinned). I'll post the link again, because it's a harbinger of serious shit that's going to hit Trump's fans (pun intended). listen to January 19th program. Note: it's 44 minutes, so probably faaaaaar too long for Trump fans with the attention span of a sparrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a matter of marginalization and disenfranchisement.... in that poor people aren't incentivized to contribute to the greater good.... some see the fact that the poor don't contribute to the greater good, but rather leech of the aforementioned, so therefore lack the right to chart the future of the country . Then theres education.... poor are often less educated, and more easily led... often their votes are bought. (Thaksin in issan.... and/or various aussi political parties buying aboriginal votes in the outback) so... not so much denying, as subverting... could be wrong.... happy to be wrong.... especially after my missus just made me watch Alex jones on prison plant.com, positively throttling at the mouth about how great God and trump is.... disturbing it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, in the majority of U.S. states it is legal to fire someone or deny housing just because they're gay. If you don't know about this, that's your problem. Do some bloody research! On voter suppression, that's a huge issue. It's off topic to go into it but here's a start: Quote Voting Rights Is Not a Fringe Issue The mainstream media, especially on TV, have largely ignored the attempts to rig elections by making it much harder for certain people to vote. https://www.thenation.com/article/voting-rights-is-not-a-fringe-issue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace This is a joke, right? Republican state legislatures have enacted law after law whose sole purpose is to make it extremely hard for poor people to vote; state election officials have closed polling stations in inner-city neighborhoods, leaving thousands of people without access within a reasonable distance, shortened the hours of those which remained, eliminated early voting which was very popular with working class folks so they didn't lose a day's pay when they voted, and struck voters from the rolls if their name happened to be the same as a convicted felon in their state or one of 14 other states which participated in the cross-check program. These are but a few of the methods by which the states intentionally and maliciously disenfranchise those who the officials believe will vote Democratic. There are many more.

Learn to live in a new World. If you're really interested in knowing the facts rather than following a narrative you agree with, reinforcing your cognitive bias, then I suggest reading the following and following the links. The numbers for Saturday's Women's March on Washington and sister marches across the country were stunning. Postmarch, lets's review how we got here. The Los Angeles Times profiled the organizers. Like many, Teresa Shook was stunned by the November 8 presidential election results ( http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-pol-womens-march-live-how-the-women-s-march-came-into-1484865755-htmlstory.html ) : She decided to do something about it. The next night, with some help from friends online, the retired attorney and grandmother living in Hawaii created a Facebook event page calling for a march on Washington after Trump’s inauguration. Before she went to bed, she had about 40 responses. When she woke up, she had more than 10,000. New York fashion designer Bob Bland jumped in to coordinate other similar efforts and ... ... recruited three longtime, New York-based activists to be co-chairs of the national march: Tamika Mallory, a gun control advocate; Carmen Perez, head of the Gathering for Justice, a criminal-justice reform group; and Linda Sarsour, who recently led a successful campaign to close New York City public schools on two Muslim holidays. Like I wrote, "Why doesn't somebody do something?" are five words have gotten me into all kinds of trouble. Shook too. She did something with her idea. The other women had the organizing chops to make it happen. And happen it did, in a big way. The Los Angeles Times caught up with Teresa Shook on Saturday ( http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-pol-womens-march-live-who-started-the-march-one-1485033621-htmlstory.html ) Did Shook foresee this all culminating in Saturday's march? "I hoped but no," Shook said. "That night I just did it because it made me feel better in the moment. I hoped that people would get on board." With a D.C. crowd estimated at 500,000 and more than 600 marches around the country, clearly they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
