I wrote a poem/song I just had to share with you folks. The title is the title,and it’s based on experiences of people I know. My Baby is a pioneer, I’m tellin’ you she has no fear She joined the carpenters local When they were just a bunch of yokels, They tried to shame her But she never showed a tear. Well, her foreman fired her ‘cause she was a girl, The union took her cause up in a whirl Her lawyer won her case, Then tried to give her a chase When she just stopped by to get what she deserved You can b*tch about Woke Til your voice box is broke And it ain’t gonna change the facts It’s a white man’s world, You can ask any girl, Chances are she’ll say kiss my a**. I got a buddy’s who’s a mighty fine man. Only problem, he’s darker than tan. When he crossed the street, The cop on the beat Wanted to whip him just as hard as he can. Oh, this old world ain’t too fair Unless you got white skin and straight hair. As for everybody else, you can ask ‘em for yourself, That is, if you really care. You can bi*ch about Woke ’Til your voice box is broke, But it ain’t gonna change the facts. Ask a white man if his brother Is a person of color, Chances are he’ll say kiss my a**! …and that’s the truth… .

Is “what about” you guys’ only argument? I don’t equate Republicans with racists. Again, the subject is way too complex. Finger pointing and name calling is infantile, and infants aren’t entrusted to deal with complex issues. Please understand I am not calling you an infant.

I’d say redlining begun after WWll with the GI bill helped begin the demise of the big cities. It’s too complex to blame on one party or one policy. If everything is reduced to zero-sum in politics, we’re doomed as a democracy.

I’m a Democrat and I favor the college. Don’t be so quick to stereotype.

Electors were created by the constitution as a compromise between those in the convention who wanted the House of Representatives to elect the president and those who wanted a popular vote among the people to elect the president. Where did your “theory” come from?

Believe that’s called megalomania.

Did you just choke on your coffee there, Hagar?

Check with your party’s precinct chair. It shouldn’t be too hard for them to find you a poll to work. You take the step. Don’t wait on the state, snowflake.

So much easier to tear down than build up. Lazy man’s thinking.

The only times I’v had my doubts were Nixon and the Orange Orangutang.

Corruption is baked into the system. It’s as old as humanity. Private, public, non-profit, corruption knows no boundary. We do our best in spite of it. Besides, if you support Trump, I can’t see how that claim doesn’t choke you.

When that’s gone, the Republic is lost.

So did some of the guys who invaded the Capitol. You got no problem with Vindman. Putin seeks to destabilize our institutions. Looks like you’re doing the same. Let’s don’t trust each other. Surest way to fail.

Spoken like a true Soviet.

Tell ISIS

WTF?

And how might I be a danger? I trust the institutional integrity of our democracy. If you don’t, you’re doing Putin’s bidding. I’d say that makes you the danger.

So, you trust polls when they confirm your bias.

He overcame a lifelong speech impediment and I’d have the ass if everyone jumped on any and every misspoken word And spoke. One thing he is not is a pathological liar.

Have you examined his mental state? I am aware of no diagnosis of “senility” as you call it. Another mainstream right wing media lie?

“People who have nothing to hide don’t destroy evidence to keep it from being publicly archived as required by federal law” - Donald Trump in 2016 about Hillary’s emails. Which time was he lying, then or now?

Every bit of what I read is hearsay. Was it even sworn testimony? Putin’s got you in his hip pocket.

Trump ain’t down yet.

Mice do not have the capacity for rational thought. Cute little joke, but that’s about it.

They want to live in a country that offers religious freedom, not a theocracy. You are confusing religion with a form of governance. Muslim Iranians left in droves in the 70’s and 80’s when the Ayatollah took over. Even Saddam let Muslims wear western attire. Really not that intelligent a question.
