    Which state office does Rush Limbaugh hold?

    I'm disputing the claim that the 2016 propaganda was of some different form with different motives that is supposedly "hard to understand". And that it deserves the stupid name "totalitarian propaganda" when we've seen it operate in this country for decades.

    You're point would be valid if Rush Limbaugh had made himself president for life.

    True, but you have to make the effort to find Rush on the radio and then stay with him when he starts his blowhard tripe.

    The stuff from the IRA turns up in your Facebook feed, tailored to fit your personal prejudices... and when you scroll down a different version, tailored to meet some other form of nonsense, replaces it.

    Yes. So people who think Hillary Clinton is the devil receive shit from the IRA that tells them . . . Hillary Clinton is the devil.

    And BY FAR the largest number of ads had nothing directly to do with a candidate or the election. 55 percent were race-related, and 25 percent were about crime/police. Immigration was a distant third. Only 2.85 percent were related to the election.

    I was told a higher minimum wage would destroy Kapitalism.

    Thanks. I think you’re right about homelessness. I think part of it with Santa Monica and Venice is, you can’t die from exposure if you are without shelter there, which is not the case in a lot of places. Also, a community has formed there.

    But from an economic disparity standpoint, that smacks you in the face in every big U.S. city. Baltimore comes to mind for me, specifically in the recent discussions about the potential rebuilding of Pimlico.

    Pimlico is in one of the worst crime areas in the city, but is maybe three or four blocks away from one of the most affluent areas in Baltimore, Mt. Washington.
