I know. Oprah once said that we cannot make further progress on race relations until the problem just dies out...literally. I've accepted that as the bottom line truth. But then Trump came along and has lit the fuse in ways I don't even think racists themselves imagined. Now I fear my kids are going to have to struggle with this issue in their lives when I thought, with President Obama's election and his outstanding stewardship of America, that my generation had finally triumphed. We are in serious trouble. I'm hoping that citizens deliver an unmistakable message in the mid-terms. We have to hope.

You might want to give the investigation more than 12 hours before blaming the President for inaction. You have no idea what the President is doing or has done to get to the bottom of the bombings or bombing attempts. Would you want him to tell the world what was being done to apprehend the criminals?

I'd think a guy who claims to be an ex-cop would know this.

Your best bet would be to turn on the Fox News Channel. Maybe you'll get chance to hear it first hand before it gets repeated, and repeated, and repeated, and repeated...

You are wrong often to those who have a differing opinion just as those who think differently than you are pronouced wrong. It is called a difference of opinion.

But, then again, you will never accept this because it is logical and "Prejudice cannot be conquered with logic, logic didn't instill it and logic cannot eradicate it."

What amazes me the most... Is the ability to acknowledge the truth, and give a plausible explanation for one's position. Isn't this a "given" for Our Democracy.. Isn't this an EXPECTED behavior?

What has happened in this country is astounding, about how low the bar has fallen..

I have seen it so many times about so many things.....that I just don't understand how others don't see it.
So many Republican caught in the middle, of the "given and expected" behavior and the rhetoric.

Don't believe.. check this out for yourself..

How many Republicans get PRAISED by Democrats....For which once was a given?
How many Republican are Admonished by other Republican...For which once was a given?
How many Republican praise a Democrats..FOR ANYTHING?

What is happening? What is the goal in doing this for Republicans.. In a way. the specific ideology doesn't matter.. What matters is to achieve a behavior modification......Sometimes for Republican that goes awry.. and they get a "mad" bomber" behavior modification.
When Republicans are asked about.. the effect or actions on the divisive rhetoric of Trump.. Most give the same answer.. And provide the information of what Liberal have done to create it, and NO acknowledgement of Trump or their own actions.. They say everybody's responsible.....But not "them" specifically.
Liberals acknowledge every single action by Liberals that feed the fire.
However Liberals try to put the primary blame on the Primary person.. The President.
Republicans don't even acknowledge Trump is involved at all.

Those few Republicans that do, that just ACKNOWLEDGE IT.. Are praised by Democrats, and thought of traitors by Trump supporters. Once Republicans can change the "given and expected" norms of Americans.. the possibility from opening those doors can be endless.

Their goal is not to lower the bar... but create a NEW BAR......"F-U-BAR"
.

The recent saying I heard....that I thought was so appropriate about this

You can fight a "PIG"......and you both are going to get "dirty"..
The problem with that is... THE PIG LIKES IT.

OMG, you have devolved even further since your previous comment. Try spewing something other than the same talking points offered by the other foreigners.

I wonder if you confuse righteous indignation 'a reactive emotion of anger over mistreatment, insult, or malice of another' with 'HATRED'? 'The Destructive Power of Hate' - it is your hallowed leader who sows much hatred/discord and you allow it to go unchallenged by not holding him to the same standard as others. How can 'you' (evangelical Christian/s) expect to win converts with such blatant hypocrisy? Do you recognise your leader's (Trump) m.o. in the following paragraph? -

'It is almost impossible to overestimate the importance of enemies to Adolf Hitler. Enemies did not just feed the hatred he had felt at much of the world since his earliest years, but provided a much needed bonding element for the first supporters of the Nazi Party. As Hitler discovered, it is much easier for charismatic leaders to define themselves by who they hate rather than by what they believe in'.

DeNiro, Waters and Madonna do not occupy the Oval Office,. Trump has emboldened and encouraged violence by his hate speeches - so called rallies. He incites violence with insults, name calling and lies. Trump is constantly blaming everything on the Democrats, dividing the country as much as possible instead of trying to unite us.

Bigblock was last seen, glassy eyed and pliant, being sucked up into Trump's anus........there are several of them on this site......It's very creepy to watch them sinking beneath the mire in the bowels of the Monster. It will be interesting to see what their reaction will be when their dear leader succumbs to the laws of gravity and they are expelled from his septic bowels to face the sky.

.They are authoritarians, trained up to obey a master.....blind allegiance is their destiny.

Trump is their new Messiah. They can't live up to what Jesus Christ taught, because it's too difficult for them, so they ignore it and follow an easier path.
One which allows them to foster hatred and demean all who don't believe in the new Messiah. This also means they can throw out the New Testament completely and believe in the Old...and still call themselves "Christians" because they believe in "The Bible"

The trouble with that is...Jesus was never contained in the Bible, but that is all they ever acknowledge or quote from.

They lie to themselves.

Once again, Trump is occupying the Oval Office. Trump is representing the USA. When the New York Times is representing my country around the globe and sitting in the Oval Office with the ability to start a war then you can ask me that question. In the mean time try watching with your own eyes, and listening with your own ears and making your own decisions instead of copying and pasting comments made by others and trying to pass them off as your own. It's very evident when you are using your own words.

Would you say Trumps use of a private cell phone is in the best interest of the USA? How about having the Chinese and the Russians listening in on his private (?) conversations with Hannity? Best interest you say? Why aren't you chanting "lock him up"?
