This year’s presidential election should have been an easy win for the GOP, but they threw it away by nominating Trump.
Imagine if they had picked Cruz or Kasich, how close it would be. They would be taking the fight to Hillary, instead of wasting their time attacking fellow Republicans, and the parents of a fallen soldier. Now we will have at least 12 years of Democrats in the White House, possibly even more, if the GOP civil war continues.
The GOP is now the party of Trump. It is self-destructing before our eyes. To all of you who made Trump your nominee, I say THANK YOU! | 0 | not toxic |

I've been to all female tattoo/piercing studios as early as 1995. This isn't new. It may be new for Mt. Vernon. I've also never been to a single male dominated studio where they were anything other than professional. You have to be educated and selective though. Follow the reputations, ask to see portfolios, get references, know what you want and if that style is their specialty. It's no different than picking any other professional service provider. If you're just going to walk into any old place on the street and pick some stupid flash art off the wall, or go for a promotional price offer, well you're assuming a lot of risk there. | 0 | not toxic |

Its too bad that you didn't put very much research into this article and decided to base this on ideology instead. 100% of a PERA employer and employee's pay comes from taxpayer money... They are government employees. At the state employee level they are underpaid when comparing their total benefit package. That total benefit package includes the PERA retirement as well as the current benefits and current salaries that they receive. What you are effectively advocating is not changing a bit of the expense to the taxpayers just where the money is due to the employee. I don't know that most government employees would mind having their pay accelerated to reciept today rather than leaving it in the uncertain hands of politicians.
Of course if you want to advocate paying government employees LESS than market wages and stealing their benefits at the same time... then do so just don't try to hide it behind nonsense about the taxpayers being 'stuck' with the bill. | 0 | not toxic |

And yet all the Supreme Court positions were filled during the Bush terms. It probably didn't bother anyone because it was after the appointments of Roberts and Alito were confirmed, so it was all theoretical. It might have created more discussion if it was a comment about an actual vacancy of the Court.
Anyway, the GOP needs to be careful. The next Democratic President might nominate Obama for the Court if they push the vacancy into the next term. They might be wishing they had accepted a moderate-left nominee now! | 0 | not toxic |

It really depends upon the year of entry, and the port of entry, if any. Some of my maternal ancestors came with the first wave of the Famine, long before Ellis Island. In those times some just walked onto a dock from the gangway and disappeared into the diaspora. Given the need for strong backs in factories, building works, and mines, not a lot of barriers were put up nor questions asked. Then for women there was employment as servants or seamstresses. Your scenario is late 19th century, early 20th century, and certainly does not apply to all our ancestors. I assume you are speaking of the U.S., but if not, different situation. | 0 | not toxic |
Free trade with Canada is not a big deal for Chinese. Trade with Canada takes only a few percentages of Chinese trade volume, and Chinese enjoy a huge trade surplus with Canada already.

There tends to be more wildlife for viewers and photographers in areas that are actively managed. More moose and caribou equals more wolves. Natural diversity systems have a rather low density of both predator and prey. Denali park with moose and wolves is an example of this. The Feds are taking steps to turn refuges into national parks. You can see the movement, banning certain hunting methods is the first step. Most of the things in the banned list, except for taking sows with Cubs, aren't even really predator control. | 0 | not toxic |

O'Toole had a reasonable idea for tax adjustments. 1% off the top bracket (since it is over 50% in many provinces now) and 1% off the bottom bracket. Then, another 1% off each when the budget is balanced. The latter would involve reducing spending, which the Liberals have yet to show a plan for or even interest. For the Liberals to cut taxes, they would either be betting the farm on 3+% GDP growth with the risk of even deeper deficits if assumptions are too optimistic, or shifting the tax burden around, such as canceling tax credits on the same folks who received the income tax break, such that average take-home pay wouldn't change.
Also, bring back the promised small business tax cuts that were cancelled, to offset higher payroll and carbon taxes.
It should go without saying that capital gains and dividend tax credits should stay put. | 0 | not toxic |

"Your charge against OS that it gives no actual reason why women cannot be ordained is totally false"
I notice you do not give any reasons from OS. Because, of course, as I correctly said, OS does not give any. But you are right about one thing: I did not read the document with an open mind. I knew that it would be just one more piece of sexist crap from the Vatican. The previous position paper on the ordination of women, Inter Insigniores, is an even worse piece of bovine feces than Humanae Vitae. Dubious history, worse logic -- II admits that the "women are inferior" argument is not acceptable, and then proceeds to sneak it in at least twice. | 0 | not toxic |

I love Fr. James Martin and know he means well with this suggestion. However, lots of Catholic churches have "outreaches" for LGBT people, their parents, or both that use the official intrinsically disordered line as their starting point and will not accept any other starting point, e.g., fine the way they are. Some even claim that they are best serving LGBT people by correcting their confusion. Who knows what wonderful things could occur if they parked the catechism and just got to know LGBT people as people? My fear is that the sensible priests have already done that and that those who hew to the official policy are not likely to see the whole person anyway. All they see is the "defect."
His comments about language are spot-on. His concerns about the firing LGBT people need to be heard far and wide. | 0 | not toxic |

Part 2: We should consider the 'helicopter money' concept as described by progressive Canadian advocates:
From: http://www.canadianbankreformers.ca/paul-hellyer-speech/
"In 1938 there were no job openings in Canada – none! Then in 1939, World War II began and it was not long until everyone was either in the armed forces, or working in factories to build tanks, trucks, airplanes and ships required to support a magnificent war effort. Unemployment dropped to an historic low of one percent. You may wonder where the Canadian government got the money to initiate this unprecedented economic miracle. The answer is the Bank of Canada.
The Bank of Canada bought Government of Canada bonds and paid for them with newly minted cash."
Owned by the people, the Bank returned the interest to the government..
That money was spent on essential goods - paid to contractors and their employees who put it in their banks and the system functioned fine.

DTjay, re-read the post. Burey didn't claim a single thing you claimed. Without a doubt, "Racist a holes" reside everywhere, in every community, every political party.
Burey is saying that in Charlottesville or anywhere else, Nazis, white supremacists and their hateful and explicitly violent ideology are evil. Their worldview is based upon a belief in the superiority of their race and they explicitly want to remake the USA into a white ethno-state.
Although espousing these despicable views is indeed protected speech, that doesn't mean any decent human being shouldn't reject them and their hateful ideology in no uncertain terms.
Trump legitimized them explicitly by stating repeatedly that the Nazi and antifa protesters are morally equivalent. They are not. Of course he is correct that violence in our civil discourse (from any side) is both illegal and repugnant. But when you see Nazi flags paraded through our streets, it's time to call them what they are, evil. | 1 | toxic |

The stories I can tell you about my family and the hundreds of thousands of health care dollars spent on sickly, elderly folks to keep them alive but sickly (some barely cognizant) for years would blow your mind.
One elderly, chronically ill relative was in a critical care unit for 5, yes 5, years. Care to guess what that cost? A family friend is in critical care on a ventilator despite that everyone knows his brain is gone. My 76 yo aunt goes to the doctor regularly - she has great insurance! - to get her blood levels checked for whatever ache she has. She has a new kneed because her old one was hurting (dare I say no marathon runner is she).
