It's bad "optics" ...Hillary told me.

Ha! I still love her for being a pioneer. I think she has one more come back if she gets 100% focused and has a new trainer that develops her strengths more (which clearly isn't standing up and exchanging punches). The women in MMA trained and got better and better while Ronda had one leg in MMA and the other in celebrity life.

No, but I don't get miffed by jabs and punches. I'll jab and punch back. The level has to get really high and unruly before I say we're outside of civil discourse.

My perspective is ABC, NBC, CBS are the pillars of the industry and had a commitment to reporting news and not commentating on it. I know things have changed. Each of these networks had shows that were about investigative journalism and they would lean from the center.

I'll take either as long as they're willing to exchange ideas/beliefs in a civil fashion.

@BLUEDOVE3 have you read that this latest rash in violence started over a social media beef? It was between to famous local rap stars. One got killed over the beef and the other laughed about it on Twitter, then it set off a huge back and forth that has trapped the other residents. The way the gangs are fragmented in Chicago it makes it even more crazy. When a rival gang member is killed the opposing gang goes to social media and EVERYONE in that circle hears about it. We all know about the respect thing in the streets. Now the hit gang must retaliate, then another social media post, and back and forth we go. Trump told Emmanuel to ask the feds for help. He's right.

True. Pharma likes helping their pockets a bit more ...even if it means using people as test rats.

You already know there's none. Only thing that got hurt where the roads and schools that didn't get the funding.

How about Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, and John Chancellor.

DId Holly Holm hammer punch Ronda Rousey after the knock out kick to the head? She let Ronda get up and live to fight another day...lol. IJS.

Didn't take long for you to go there. It took me at least a week before I called them conservative fellars racist...lol. Seriously, some of the sarcasm and jabs in here are born out of frustration, hypocrisy, and double standards that have gone on for way too long. Also liberals primarily are really quick to scream racist when a conservative disagrees with them. Its an easy go-to (and yes, sometimes the shoe does fit). I posted a mini dissertation on the the difference between prejudice and racism. I think most people hold prejudices and it flavors their response to issues. If you take the time to engage in earnest debate/conservation with the conservatives in this forum you'll find they're intelligent, articulate, and understand race issues better than some African Americans IMO. My spidey senses cause me to agree with you that a few or some or many probably don't "care" about the killing in Chicago other than using it to backup political beliefs. On the flipside the kids doing the killing really are the ones that need to care about their lives and the lives of the ones they're taking. If African Americans are still speaking as a collective voice (that's the historical M.O.) then its sorta hard to shout Black Lives Matter while the ninjas in Chicago keep demonstrating how much they could care less. Just some real talk. Don't fire back by referring to me has a character from a famous Mark Twain novel. OOps...correction, a famous Harriet Beecher Stowe novel. It would be nice to have another level headed centrist or democrat or liberal in here (shut up conservatives, they do exist!).

I love it. When it comes to MY WALLET I'm more capitalist than Gordon Gecko. I'll spend your money all day on pet social programs ...lol! Remember, we're helping people with their real estate problems.

No clue but maybe their legal wing did a thorough check. My belief (based on perception) is they're more interested in planning the Image Awards

The police have tanks. Thanks Homeland Security!

I always believed the old school news anchors were dedicated to being faithful to tenants of their profession and stayed middle of the road.

Never challenge a conservative to a logic fight

I remember the white hispanic thing. If you're from Spain and not a place that Spain conquered ...I can see where they were going. For the record white hispanics are a sumb*tch...lol.

I can't trust the CIA or Russia to be straight shooters. McAfee is too far away from the center of influence to know what's going.

Depends on your timeline. The states weren't any model children either, starting with succession.

NAACP would be defunct today but their legal arm is pretty well funded and supported. That aside its now a group that gives awards once per year. If you think about it, today's NAACP hasn't been anywhere to be found publicly when real problems take place. You would think they'd be all over these cop/citizen shootings. As far back as the 90's I heard claims by African Americans that the NAACP is an ineffective club for bourgeoisie African Americans. The Urban League was taken more seriously. I think their meeting with Sessions is laughable considering they've been M.I.A. for over 30 years.

They kinda did with all the laws that are on the books. I guess some military cops coming to the south to keep watch was really the answer. Could have set up the old Civil War districts, started appointing governors...

If we get technical??? This also raises an interesting question. Maybe Eddie Murphy should petition for the academy to look at Norbitt again. He may have a best actress award coming.

LOL @AthleticSupporter - Jock, usually a school with a clearly male mascot will use the feminine term for the ladies. E.g. Lions and Lioness or Lionettes.

Was kidding about Maddow, but she's only one person on a rant like Bill O'Reilly. Fox is a team of drones posing as a news organization. I blame liberal leaning mainstream news outlets for Fox. Those news orgs needed to be fair and unbiased.

When Goldwater was running the feds were still your best chance. A certain collection of states had people solve race issues with rope. IJS.
