Actually, only about 10% of evangelical, conservative Christians reject science.

I lived most of my life in small town west Texas. Evolution is also science, and the Big Bang Theory, and Implicit Racism. Are you sure we have the same definition of the terms reject and science?

Apparently, there was also a resignation. The head of counterintelligence, you know, the ones who hunt foreign spies inside Russia. If the two arrested were the leakers of their plot to influence our election, it was his job to have found them.

Some aspects of PC are dangerous, I'll admit. I always though Kaspersky was a bad idea, but it seemed really bigoted to say it so I kept my mouth shut.

Thank Comey and Putin for your "victory." You can also throw in Republicans voter suppression tactics. I'm with John Lewis. Trump is not a legitimate President. Even with all that Hillary still won almost 3 million more votes than Trump. Is this your job or something? Seriously though, go away.


Clinton lost because she campaigned poorly.

And if you have a problem with another member, report them. You don't get to call people names and try bullying someone to leave. Unless you want to get yourself banned that is.

This is difficult. One side of me really wants to say boo-hoo because this is a juicy, even moist, opening.
The other side of me would prefer to stay on topic.
How about those Russians? That's kind of big news.

I would expect this to be the first major anti-Trump protest that's conducted in a dignified manner. No rioting, no silly costumes, no keynote speaker talking about blowing things up etc.

I won't dignify the rest with a response, but you make an excellent point. She's supposed to write words for a living, right? What an idiot. The comment is untrue on its face, and she has often spoken out against other people blowing things up saying accurately that it makes things worse, much worse. What an idiotic moment, anyway.

Madonna. I watched the speeches and everything. She's famous as a songwriter and performer. I remarked on it earlier in this thread, I think. Maybe it was in the Derangement thread, where it would also fit.

In the article it says "My guess is that the web pages will be taken down, but the links and information will be available".

I see nothing wrong with this because we now have a President in the White House who does not believe in climate change. Since he doesn't believe in climate change, of course, he is going to take that page down from the EPA. The information can be put back up when there is a President who believes in climate change again.


Have you completely given up on the concept of free speech?

Free speech has it's limits. Not sure if that applies in this case. But I believe the president has the right decide what government agencies say in certain cases.

Yes, in matters of national security, for example. This is not it.

I don't think it should be limited to national security.

I would say they are where the chief of state/chief executive/chief administrator/chief diplomat/commander in chief/chief legislator/party chief/chief citizen decides they are.

Sure I'll thank them everyday, I look forward to Trump and Putin's first meeting. Hillary still belongs in prison by the way, she may still end up there. Republican voter suppression tactics, hahaha that is rich considering Trump got outspent 2 to 1 and supposedly had such a lack of ground game. Also lets put an asterisk next to that 3 million. :D

All I know is you made this big deal about making me to commit to admitting I was wrong on election day but I wasn't and you disappeared. Weird, I'm sure a coincidence? I'm not going anywhere tho, so sorry. I just want credit where credit is due.


Troll

Great counter-argument

Do you know who I was referring to?

Your comment shows such bald disrespect that I find it worth noting.

In addition, it shows your own ignorance. When you posted that, you hadn't actually seen Madonna, and you didn't know exactly what she had said. You had just read some right wing douchebag analysis, which accurately reported she had said something inflammatory, and then went on to talk about the women's march. I bet if I could find that article, that they also called the women marching undignified.

Anyone who knows exactly what Madonna said, and I don't want to repeat it, will see where my comment directly references her exact words. Words of which you probably remain ignorant at this time.

Is it always undignified when women march?
