| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | You are struggling today aren't you? Abortion services account for less than 3% of Planned Parenthood activities, way less than cancer screening and prevention, STD prevention, and contraception. | | | | | I thought you were supposed to be good at science?
Lynchings of blacks also account for less than 3 percent of KKK activities. The rest of the time they just burn crosses and hold marches. So I giess they're OK by your book?

Planned parenthood has never actually killed a baby, black or otherwise.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Have you considered that it is this sort of attitude that leads to escalation in the first place?
We won't start negotiating before the other side has corrected all their past injustices.
If you want to move on, you need leadership with more vision than that. | | | | | Now that you mention it, it's obvious. The Palestineans are to blame, their mere existence forces Israel on its path. Therefor they should accept all the injustices and brush over them.
Now, apply your "logic" to ordinary crime. Instead of reporting the crime the victim better forget about it and move on. And if he happens to do so, humbly accept the offer to mow his lawn he placed on the land he just stole from you.
As I said, ridiculous.

Much better than totally unscientific things such as giving food to the poor, which as you rightly say shouldn't be tax exempt.

| | | | | You're having a bit of a 'mare today too, aren't you? 
I understand; it's tough when your favourite gets a bit of a slapping. I can empathise, I do support the England cricket team, after all.

| | | | | Please stop cherry picking and misconstructing.
That's not at all what i said, and you know it.
You're the one being ridiculous here.
If you want to have an honest debate, I'm very happy to debate you But if you're going to be silly about, be silly by yourself.

I think it will be interesting to watch the dynamics between Trump and the GOP after the tax cuts. I actually would like to see him to go after Republicans as well.
He'll need to reach across the aisle for infrastructure development projects. I would also like to see him open up access to capital for inner-city black businesses. Oh, and The Wall.
MAGA!

I don't see Trump reaching across the aisle, he just doesn't seem to be that kind of a guy.
