    The only thing that needs to be understood is that the left has lost their fucking minds and have gotten so bad that all of their ideas conflict with each other. I'm a classical liberal and don't like Trump, but to the left that makes me literally worse than Hitler.

    It also depends on the industry.  I work in an industry that is dominated by women.  I've never seen any evidence of it.

    True, but 1776 was nearly 100 years before the Confederacy which is why I didn't mention it. According to the US Census in 1830, there were nearly 4,000 blacks who owned slaves.

    Clinton is a vile human being.    She kept finding reasons why she lost and none of it has to do with her personally.  Everyone and everything but her caused her to lose the election. As we saw with the FBI investigation into the emails, Shrok (spelling?) illegally edited the report to remove the findings that she did something illegal and changed it to a case of massive stupidity on her part.

    @lierrie: Exit polls take a sample survey of people post voting with a sample size of 1000 per venue (total size 100k for full elections). They then use the data from that to extrapolate general sentiment and voting trends within a population, per ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation etc. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/02/just-how-does-the-general-election-exit-poll-work-anyway/ Thanks!

    @aadam101: State and local elections are also held this day.  The blue wave is also going to be happening on that level. While this is true, it has nothing to do with federal election laws, but rather convenience and cost.

    Like most things in the US, each state can decide what/how it wants to do things. The Electorial College is based on the House of Representitives districts. Some states have an "all or nothing" system where the person who gets the majority of the vote wins all of the EC votes for that state. Some states have a disctric by district EC system. Most states legally require the EC member to vote the way their district voted in district by disctrict systems, while a minority of states allow EC members to vote however they want.  In 2000, about 6 EC members voted the opposite way their district did, supposedly as a protest.

    Not all vets are poor, especially those who do the full 20 to 30 years. A lot of the problems stem from mental illness as a result of serving in the military in armed conflict. Also, many suffer injuries and the VA (Veterans Administration) keeps losing funding, regardless of who the President is.    Now it seems that the VA only helps when it's forced to.    Even when they have a legal obligation to take of vets, such as my dad who retired after 30 years, they fight so they don't have to.  When my dad died, the VA would only give him a military funeral if we paid for it.  My aunt found a charity that provided the Honour Guard and such. Even worse is that the UK didn't have any places for soldiers to recuperate with their families until US talk show host Montel Williams and his charity built Fisher House near Birmingham.  Amputees and those with severe injuries recuperate and learn how to live life with their new circumstances. Montel Williams and his charity built several such places in the US as well.

    It might have been Christopher Hitchens, originally. That being said, Ben Shapiro has been saying it for a few years now.

    Ok, let's forget the chemical attack for a second. The point of the US, UK, France attack was not to kill but to take away Assad's assets so he can't use them against his people.

    Outside of politicis. I'm a North African Jew who lies in Canada.  BY LAW, persons of North African and West Asian descent are to define themselves as 'White' on the American and Canadian census since 1975.  You are as White as Arabs, Berbers, Turks, Greeks, Armenians and Persians.  If you're Ashkenaz you're of European descent and have been legally 'White' in America since the 1950s. If you are living in the majority of European countries you would be legally non-White, the same as Roma, Sinti, or Turkish peoples in Europe. Culturally, if you're just discovering that you might not be White - you're most likely White  The anti-Semites who hate White people will consider you White and the anti-Semites who revere Whiteness will regard you as non-White.  Given that Yom HaShoah was last Wednesday it shouldn't be THAT much of a surprise.

    @r0lf: Where are you getting your figures on UK gun crime? Also. The UK and other countries that have gun control do not have mass shootings every second day! Any gun crime with an illegal gun shouldn't happen, according to the left.    So that kids who was shot and killed riding his bike home from football practices shouldn't have existed.

    I agree with AG Sessions on this one.  The 1964 Civil Rights Act never provided protection for us.  It was written years before Stonewall.  While what happened is cruel, we don't get the right to enforce imaginery laws. We should be pushing hard to amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to cover us.  That's the way the process is suppose to work, and in a democracy, the process is more important than the result if we want democracy to continue to work.
