Ha, Prager U, what a joke.

"Prager opposes same-sex marriage. He has suggested that same-sex marriage will lead to polygamy and incest. In 2014, he claimed that the “heterosexual AIDS” crisis was something “entirely manufactured by the Left.”

"In July 2017, Prager said that "the news media in the West pose a far greater danger to Western civilization than Russia does."

This is where some on the Right get their "education" from.

Trump unhappy over Zinke's Florida offshore drilling exemption: report

Even tho Florida put in a crook, he knows what could happen with a spill. Not very good for tourism, when the beaches become awash with sludge. Thanks Donald.

I don't buy into the big oil conspiracy to eliminate clean energy.

I'm not calling it a "conspiracy", but there's money from fossil fuel interests funding campaigns, lobbyists, etc.

Washington Post can suck because you cant always read it if you dont pay for it. Here is CNN

Exxon has a seat in the current administration That said, is there an administration that is not staffed by former lobbyists. At least Tillerson is not in denial about climate change although I wouldn't expect someone with his background to come up with the solution. He has many friends among the Russian oligarchy too, and extensive ties with Putin himself. Probably no American has better connections with Russia than he has. Which must be the purpose of his nomination: keeping the bridge tunnel to Moscow open.

Ha.. you just validated everything Guy Benson said.

Who? He said PragerU is a joke as well?

? I've see those videos before, they're a bit of a joke. Do you feel silly for linking to them? You probably thought it was a real university like Trump U? Just a conservative propaganda machine.

Yes, you should seek help for far right wing brainwashing. See, that was nice, shows I care

 

[JB Lions]

Lot of bs videos, climate change:

But read the comments saying he has ties to Exxon or basic research and find out he's funded by a coal company, Peabody Energy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody_Energy

Like a lawyer paid for by the Tobacco Industry, nah, smoking doesn't cause cancer.

Brainwashed right, while big companies capitalize on it.

Another school shooting:

2 dead, 17 injured in Kentucky school shooting; suspect held

I’ve spoken with Kentucky’s @GovMattBevin to offer condolences on behalf of Canadians for today’s shooting in Benton. Our hearts go out to Kentuckians, and to all those affected by this tragedy.

So now we're against legal immigration too?

"Chain migration" (correct term minus the dog whistle is "family reunification") is how FLOTUS and Drumpf families got here, also. probably yours. "Anchor babies" = Ivanka, Eric & Jr ( mother wasn't a citizen when they were born.)

It takes a good decade plus a lot of vetting to bring over a family member. Not like they're pouring in in droves.

 

[mr-x]

"Chain migration" is a dog whistle ? Or you've read / heard a marxist open border advocate try to control to conversation through messaging.

Family can visit, they don't have to immigrate.

Or you have been reading too many right wing nationalists trying to control the conversation through messaging.

Maybe families want to live together, not just visit.

Good - exactly what he deserved, within the confines of the law. What he did to those girls was beyond awful.
Too bad it won't be a deterrent, but as a friend who deals with these issues from both sides as a therapist said, "If your frontal cortex is working properly you don't do this type of behavior"

 

[mr-x]

No. I've been listing to both sides of the argument user the words chain migration for years.

It' just recently Sen Dick Derbin claimed the word chains was offense to African Americans b/c of course, they're triggered by everyday language.

You don't get to make shit up to accuse people of being bigoted or racist.
