So short of not believing in a two state solution, with historical relevancy to back his belief, you've got nothing?

>I will never vote for Donald Trump because I stand with certain principles. I stand with small government and free markets and religious freedom and personal responsibility. Donald Trump stands against all of these things. He stands for Planned Parenthood and trade restrictions and targeting of political enemies and an anti-morality foreign policy and government domination of religion and nastiness toward women and tacit appeals to racism and unbounded personal power. I stand with the Constitution of theUnited States, and its embedded protection of my God-given rights through governmental checks and balances. Donald Trump does not. I stand with conservatism. Donald Trump stands against it. I stand with #NeverTrump. ---Ben Shapiro

FYI Scientific evidence does not support your belief on the side of nature vs nurture

I'd imagine he's discussing the endowments of said universities, which are earning billions of dollars a year

Curious which views of Shapiro's do you believe are extreme? Are you a person who believes gender is merely a social construct whereby the genetics of a person hold no bearing on their attributes?

Deportations took a dramatic downfall in his second term and most of the "deportations" took place at the border, not in the way you think they did https://www.ice.gov/removal-statistics/2016

The disappointing part, despite saying

>“It is important that people understand how foreign actors tried to sow division and mistrust using Facebook before and after the 2016 US election,”

Facebook is not planning on showing the actual content of those pages, leaving it up to Congress to decide whether or not to show the content

I'm sorry but the "Indigo" GameCube is much closer to a strict definition of purple than it is darker blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

Nintendo may have called the purple version of the Gamecube Indigo, but Indigo is a dark blue dye derived from a plant, unless you think your blue jeans match your GameCube

New comment by ZoeZoeBee in "Appalachian miners reject retraining because they think coal will make comeback"

ZoeZoeBee — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 16:12:19 +0000

Except that has nothing to do with why they voted as they did going back to before the 20th century as rural America has never been about today's Democratic ideals. The Miners and their Unions have been supportive of Democrats since before FDR.

Edit could the downvoter parked here show their face, literally five seconds after posting and you're downvoting have to assume you've gone down the thread downvoting everything, so just say hi

However you do realize that sanctuary cities, abortion, second amendment rights or any other wedge issue those in Appalachia did not stand with the Democratic party on and voted for their own interests when it came to employment

edit @CalChris Because your reading comprehension is not the best. They voted for their own economic interests by voting Democratic. You do realize in 2008 both of WVs Senators were Dems and so was their governor. Since the Depression the vast majority of West Virginia's Senate seats have been filled by Dems

>I'd try to consider it from their perspective, but I get confused by the part where they vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies.

Ok, read the parent. Appalachian Miners do not vote overwhelmingly Republican to protect their union jobs and government subsidies. For the longest time they voted Democratic to Protect their Union Jobs and Government subsides until their jobs were no longer there.

Their jobs aren't coming back, that's a given, and the reaction to that was to stop voting for the people they thought would protect their way of living, only to see a shift over the last decade where their voice was completely drowned out in the Democratic party

Yep at the moment they do, and they will continue to, but that has nothing to do with the fact that historically those in the industry voted Democratic not Republican.

The lack of reality among some around here does amaze me

Perhaps you get confused about the long history of Appalachian Coal Miners voting solidly Democratic, 100 years of such, only to see their votes taken for granted and their livelihood disappear.

West Virginia, despite being as far from Cosmopolitan as you can get has been a Democratic stronghold until the last election cycle

>Twenty rats in each exposure group were exposed to the smoke seven hours a day for 21 days. The method of exposure was ‘‘head only’’, meaning that the rats were placed head first in snug fitting plastic tubes with a screened head portion that projected into a duct through which the smoky air flowed.

Try the same with car exhaust and see how it goes
