New Cat's Eye, among many other things says:
They'd be choosing to march with me, I didn't choose to march with them. My question is whether or not there was a reason they would want to march with you? And then thinking what reason would you have had to march with this Charlotteville group instead of against it?
But if some asshole decides to bring that flag to a march I want to participate in for different reasons, then there actually is more than one side. But what would be your "different reason" here, in this case? Perhaps you might be talking about something else like Stopping A Pipeline?- xongsmith, 5.7d

Modulous writes in Message 1404 above, amid many things,
They are missing the information regarding which nominees will fail to get as many votes in the election from those who voted for someone else in the primaries. That is, if the person that gets plurality of votes is somehow hated by everyone else resulted in some significant proportion of 'defectors' - that information is not reflected in the results. Nor is the information that the second runner might actually pick up all the same votes as the plurality winner with the bonus of not dropping votes from defectors, should that be the situation. See, this was the main problem with Hillary - she was so virulently HATED by so many. Regardless of whether it was justified or not (it was not), it should have been seen by the DNC as a
Huge Blinking Warning Light.- xongsmith, 5.7d

Since 1875 the GOP has won the POTUS electoral college 4 times while losing the popular vote. 1876, 1888, 2000 and 2016.
The Democrats have never won this way. The score is 4-0 so far.- xongsmith, 5.7d |

jar points out:
Actually the US is safer with him as President than we would be if he was removed from the office. Indeed! The line of succession goes: PenceRyan Hatch ... and so on - the GOP monsters go long and deep. I'll take incompetent evil over competent evil any time.- xongsmith, 5.7d

NoNukes writes, in part:
I am not a proponent of drug use, but I'm also not in favor of the current 'war on drugs' which when coupled with the programs to privatize prisons results in very destructive and expensive policies for imprisoning US citizens. These policies also help fund the criminal element in many communities. ...and of course it is very funny how one of the biggest stockholders in privatized prisons is none other than Jeff Sessions. Criminal element, indeed.- xongsmith, 5.7d

Woody's Children copyright 2018 Nathan A. Smith with adaptations of Woody's song
The children are all taken and parents now handcuffedThen piled into the buses to strip them away Driven back down over the Mexican border Back to the terrors they'd struggled to escape Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have a name when you sleep in the cages, All you will have is a numbered tattoo The mother's own mother, she'd waded that river,Still they took all the money she'd made with her skill; Her brothers and sisters come to flee from the danger, But they all been sent back till they're captured and killed. Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have a name when you sleep in the cages, All you will have is a numbered tattoo Now some of 'em are illegal, and all are not wanted,These families fleeing from the gang lands of grief; Over six hundred miles from that Mexican border, Where they're treated like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves. Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have a name when you sleep in the cages, All you will have is a numbered tattoo Is this the best way we can heal our sick country?Is this the best way? the best we can do? To watch the authorities lock up these children In cages with nothing but a numbered tattoo .... Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have a name when you sleep in the cages, All you will have is a numbered tattoo -June 18th, 2018 - xongsmith, 5.7d

I think this is misleading. Per capita doesn't show the stagnation for 99% of us. Used median income per capita - the 50% above, 50% below number. The trillionaires skew the average way up, but most people don't see it in their pockets.
