People should at least take a look at what they've written. People are so dug in though. I've seen McWhorter accused of being an "assimilationist" which just goes to show how far the left has moved away from MLK's vision.

     That's an old story, though. Certain political trends want to break the system more than they want a different one. For one, it's easier, and for two way more fun.

Interesting, Herman does not read my posts, but he responds to them.  Good to know.  Love the continued use of Diner Cop, too.

We do read your posts.  We just disagree with most of them.

And when I take the time to research you remarks I find that most of them are bogus.

I don't. I just see the avatar popping up and I skip.

It's just negativity, trolling and "I know better", so why bother?

What would you miss?  The keen intellectual probity of "Let the shitstorm begin"?

There is a perfect inverse correlation between competent writing and use of the word troll and its derivatives.

From the failing New York Times: Voters Believe Winner of Election Should Fill Court Vacancy, Poll Shows

I'm sure Cocaine Mitch will take this poll under advisement.

At one time I even complimented Todd for being well informed.  That was many years ago.  I think Trump broke him, gave his id everything it ever wanted.  His superego never had a chance.

Sharp and thought-provoking.  A double whammy.

     TRUMP'S TAXES SHOW CHRONIC LOSSES AND YEARS OF TAX AVOIDANCE

Most of Mr. Trump's core enterprises — from his constellation of golf courses to his conservative-magnet hotel in Washington — report losing millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars year after year.

His revenue from "The Apprentice" and from licensing deals is drying up, and several years ago he sold nearly all the stocks that now might have helped him plug holes in his struggling properties.

The tax audit looms.

And within the next four years, more than $300 million in loans — obligations for which he is personally responsible — will come due.

Against that backdrop, the records go much further toward revealing the actual and potential conflicts of interest created by Mr. Trump's refusal to divest himself of his business interests while in the White House. His properties have become bazaars for collecting money directly from lobbyists, foreign officials and others seeking face time, access or favor; the records for the first time put precise dollar figures on those transactions.

What a business geeeenius!

What a business geeeenius!

     It turns out there is an audit! Trump has been fighting with the IRS for many years over a refund he claimed for $72M. If he loses he'll owe more than $100M.

The failing New York Times piece on Trump's taxes is a doozy. 

Those shocking revelations about Russia blew me away. 

Tens of millions of people will change their votes because of this report.

Trump could release his taxes anytime and show us what genius he is, but he doesn't so all we have is The failing New York Times.

Yes.  And it does not matter to the election. 

I like the inclusion of "we".  It reminds me of sports fans who convince themselves of their importance to the success of their preferred team or teams.

To single out the failing New York Times is unfair.

The decline has nothing to do with their editorial policy.

I am confident that if we took the time to do the research we would find that there are also conservative newspapers that are in trouble.  I know that the circulation for the Washington Times, the conservative newspaper in Washington, DC, has been declining as well as the Post.

All print news media is failing.

the NYT is actually doing well. The idea that it is 'failing' is a Trump move to discredit the press, while Trump's really running multiple businesses into bankruptcy, and now of course the entire USA.

One could say 'local' newspapers are doing bad, but the Times has become a international newspaper.

Being a Trump sock puppet Diner Cop echoes the meaningless "failing NYT" phrase because he, too, lies the way he breathes. That's the price you pay. You get empty.

     Brad Parscale, Ex-Campaign Manager for Trump, Is Hospitalized in Florida

MIAMI — President Trump's former campaign manager, Brad Parscale, was hospitalized after the police were called to his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., by his wife, who said he had guns and was threatening to hurt himself, officials said on Sunday evening.

     Admit it, you thought there was something a little off about the guy with the "will not replace us" beard.
