Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 On another note, it amuses me to learn that the cute Josh Harder, who picked off a GOP incumbent in CA-10, helped get Blue Apron started. Blue Apron is one of the big sponsors of far right podcasts like Ben Shapiro. I imagine he's fuming today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 ^ The increase in hate crimes is both disturbing and predictable. It was so obvious that a vote for Trump was a vote for hate. It's sad to think that people are so easily led down the wrong path, but we know from both history and social science that it's true. People can be led to unleash their worst selves by a bad leader. We have got to get ride of him ASAP. Meanwhile, I do wonder what the numbers would be if we took out the hundreds of calls that Israeli Jewish boy made to JCCs. Should it count if the person who made the calls has a mental disorder and belongs to the very group he's threatening? Maybe it should, I'm no expert, but I do feel a little bit better knowing that these statistics The FBI released its annual report on hate crime statistics yesterday. The overall number of hate crimes in 2017 was up 17 percent from 2016, with a 37 percent rise in crimes targeting Jews and Jewish institutions, which was highlighted by the ADL. Last year, 938 anti-Semitic incidents were reported, up from 684 incidents in 2016. were driven in part by someone who couldn't follow through without getting on a plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 I agree, but Trump's comments are the type of glib digs Maher has specialized in for decades. I guess he mostly disagrees when it affects him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 Not living in big cities is a big plus. Maybe it will help make rural areas more blue, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 Developing story: Avenatti arrested in LA on suspicion of domestic violence https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/claudiarosenbaum/michael-avenatti-arrested … 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 Glad I never got too into Avenatti. When I read about some of his financial dealings (I posted the article here a few months ago in this thread), he started to look like a shady and unsavory character to me. Maybe this will weed him out of thinking of a 2020 presidential run. This should have no bearing on Stormy Daniels, even though I'm sure the GOP is trying to connect the two, somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 14, 2018 Members Share Posted November 14, 2018 I was hoping he would harangue Trump for the next 2 years. Oh well. Hopefully, his ex will recover and get in line to sue his ass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 15, 2018 Members Share Posted November 15, 2018 We can only hope. Please register in order to view this content I'm sorry to hear of the allegations against Avenatti. However, if this means he's been knocked out of contention for 2020, then perhaps there's a silver lining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted November 15, 2018 Members Share Posted November 15, 2018 IMPO, he was never in contention. he always struck me as an ambulance chaser and mob-like lawyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
