Burn the house down to get the hornet's nest. Great idea.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

I was in Chicago in 69, a year after Woodlawn burned. It was sad, pitiful. I was challenged by people I respect to work up a plan whereby people could collaborate for change.

But that was half a century ago, and society is still a mess. So maybe, yeah, I am simply fed up.

It is what Eisenhower did for the DNC before. They lost to Ike twice and went from the party that tolerated overt racist in their ranks to the party that past the voting rights act, the civil rights act, and the housing rights act.

That is true! How I wish Trump were more like Ike, the last great GOP president!

Ike really just froze things in place, did not advance civil rights, did not backslide them though by resegragating the military.

Has there been any update on the claims Russia was responsible for the leak?

Quite the curious situation if it's true. What the hell is Putin up to?

First and foremost he's hoping Trump will follow through with throwing the Baltic States under the Putin Bus and possibly cripple or destroy NATO.

Likely true certain meta data from the leaks points to two State sponsored Russian Hacker groups.

The Moderation team would like to remind everyone that 'Bernie bros' is actionable political nicknaming. The term clearly has a pejorative intent.

This is particularly important to remember in light of current events at this week's Democratic convention.

Our own research shows that we've been somewhat inconsistent about applying this ruling, not least because use of the term is rarely reported and we don't always catch it ourselves. We are therefore not going to go through and do a purge of every use of 'Bernie bros' prior to this reminder.

However, we will do our level best to consistently apply this ruling from this point on.

He wants Trump to win. Trump is a better external enemy to justify his actions.

Now you've lied twice. Do you have a problem with being honest? Or do you have a problem with admitting you goofed and moving on? I'm perfectly happy to let it drop, but you seem to have gone all pissy over being called out on your mistake and decided to throw a strop.

The only thing I'm throwing a strop over is your weird fascination, and calling it a lie, which is just bizarre.
