President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Read an article yesterday that said the big conglomerates that everyone is scared will ruin things already aren't bound by the regulations of net neutrality.

 

Being upset by that and using phrases like “white privilege” when consistently denying its pervasiveness and opposing any methods to improve the situation means that I don’t feel the need to have you be a part of the conversation, despite warren being wrong

 

This is how universities do business.
There's a reason people like Warren and Obama have never held a real job

 

The wall is cracking.

It’s going to be great when they force the 88-year-old African-American Congressman our, but allow Franken to remain in the Senate.

That’s got to be textbook white privilege, right?

 

Franken's skating is 100% an example of white male privilege and seeing it play out amongst liberals was the most disheartening thing I've seen since last election night.

 

You left out the good part:
"Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low."

 

Kind of like message forums.

 

This is a good and complicated (by necessity) look at the thorny issues of Native American identity and tribalism. It might help inform some of the Warren discussion here and how ultimately difficult it is to solve something like that. It also talks about how only when it comes to tribal identity do we seem to think it's okay to measure people by blood—as one of the story's subjects says, the way we talk about dogs and horses.

Who Decides Who Counts as Native American?

 

I don't. Not about sexual assault.

But let's not pretend you don't argue other things for fun that you don't actually believe. Of course you do. You've been having fun with that game off and on for years.

 

So Weinstein didn’t skate cause he’s Jewish, Cosby cause he’s black, Charlie Rose didnt skate because he’s on NPR. Louis CK.didnt skate because he’s not really funny. Even Ailes and O’Reilly didn’t skate.

Aside from Franken, who skated on white Privilege? Trump and Moore

 

Don't most tribes?
How do you join an Indian tribe?

 

Kennedy, Clinton ...
