Boo hoo, there were still ten thousand tons of coal we hadn’t dug up and burned yet, and the liberals wouldn’t let us tear up every square inch of wilderness to get it, so we’ll all just sulk and set fire to anything we can find as a meaningful protest.
The GOP is firmly entrenched in the distant past. It apparently is unable to evolve. They want coal as an energy source even though much cheaper, safer and cleaner alternatives exist. The just know that removing all regulations on guns and business will produce a better world. The one percent are the rightful leaders of the free world and unions are a cancer to be eliminated. Even though we are all descended from immigrants they want to make sure that doesn’t happen again. And they are religious enough to want to eliminate most forms of welfare so that the poor get the opportunity to fend for themselves and be a source of really cheap labor.
Coal was killed by the free market. Coal jobs were killed by capitalism, and it started long before Obama, as the number of coal jobs fell by half as production doubled. As for the cop stuff, that’s just hateful Obama Derangement Syndrome. Obama has always stood strongly for police, as anyone who has ever actually listened to him knows. He’s not a “government is the problem” kind of politician, that particular strain of anti-Americanism is purely Republican.
You create wedge issues then make fun of someone for trying to pull the country together. The only reason he is the divider in chief is because you won’t let a black man be your leader.
For all of you referring to the Free Market holy grail of the right, you forget that’s for the little guy. The 1% don’t have to live by it, as evidenced by the plutocrat about to be coronated by the republicans. The guy who, when the Free Market cratered his casinos, bankrupted his way to prosperity (although definitely not $10B).
The nuns sued the government to try to use their religion to discriminate against others.-Obama said when the police are attacked, we ALL are attacked so “cuff the cops” is a flat-out lie.-GOP Congress met on inauguration night 2001 to limit Obama to one term. McConnell stated GOP top goal to limit Obama to one term the day after an election where GOP promised that jobs were top priority. So the truth is GOP Congress tried to “dump Obama”.-GOP wants to eliminate the EPA and deregulate anything they can. So they DO want to cause cancer.-Coal is no longer very profitable so the industry is going away on its own. Payne must miss the stories about miners being killed by mine owners cutting corners and breaking the law while getting a slap on the wrist.-When the top tax rates were much higher, the US was prosperous, income inequality wasn’t anywhere near as large, and we built an infrastructure that is now crumbling because of lack of funds..
You already know that the professor is in his own residence. There is no break-in. The professor is yelling at you from the porch.The smart thing is to just walk away. The not-so-smart thing is to try for an arrest. This is not going to be a good arrest, folks. You will never get these charges past a prosecutor, to say nothing of a jury.
“You forgot “the Cambridge police acted stupidly.”The woman who made the call to the Cambridge police said she wasn’t sure if that was the resident or not. But the police immediately assumed he was a criminal.Yes, the professor should have acted calmly instead of getting angry. But who are the professionals that should calm the situation down instead of escalating?

So, the most unity-oriented president since Lincoln, and the extreme right wants to blame HIM for the division. It is ironic and hypocritical.
