Of course, gotta rework the narrative and come up with a new spin on Trump being anti-semitic, anti-gay, anti- everything. Otherwise the marches and whines will quickly fade. As far as suppression, some here may want to check on Islamic attitudes towards women, lgbt and blacks. Our historians may also want to check on where slavery began and who was still practicing it through world war 1

Yup democrats not republicans
http://totallyhistory.com/us-history/us-presidents/

Dems have become very adept at masking their ulterior motives by creating distractions to brainwash the masses. Republicans won for 30yrs at a time. Desperation leads to desperate measures. We are seeing a lot of desperation and scrambling from the left in 2017

This is my favorite right wing talking point. Yes, 150 years ago the Democratic party was the party of slavery since it was the party of the south. For another 100 years, the Democrats continued to be the party of segregation and the south. Then, 1960 happened and JFK ran on a platform that included Civil Rights and, all of a sudden, the South stopped being so Democratic; Alabama and Mississippi both vote for Harry F Bird and Strom Thrumond. Both are Democrats but obviously weren't the Democratic nominees; they ran on a platform against school desegregation.

Then, in 1964, LBJ is elected in a wave election over segregationist Republican Barry Goldwater who won 6 states: SC, GA, MS, AL, LA, and AZ. Excluding Arizona, this is the first time in nearly 100 years that a Republican wins any of those states and, as far as I can tell, the first time ever a Republican wins Georgia. You have to go back all the way to 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant to find a President who wins any of those 5 states. After that it's basically 100 years for a Republican to win any of those states until they nominate segregationist Barry Goldwater.

And, I already know what you're going to say next because you people have a script that you're unable to deviate from. "VCoug, more Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act than Democrats! Obviously, Democrats are the real racists!" First of all, that's not true. A higher percentage of Republicans voted for it than Democrats but it was passed with pretty much overwhelming support from both parties but with more Democratic votes. In the House, Democrats vote in favor 153-96 and Republicans 138-34. In the Senate, Democrats vote in favor 46-21 and Republicans 27-6. But, if you dig just a little deeper you'll notice that Southerners vote aginsts in pretty overwhelming numbers. In the House, Southern Democrats vote against 87-8 and Southern Republicans 0-10. In the Senate; Southern Democrats vote against 20-1 and Southern Republicans 0-1. Southern here is defined as the old Confederacy. In addition, if you look through the actual votes in the House and the Senate, you can look up the individual histories of the Nay votes and see that at least a decent amount of the Democratic nays switch parties by the time Nixon is running for his 2nd term.

It's almost as if political parties aren't sentient beings but are made up of other people and reflect those people's views. So if those people are racist, or at least more racist than their counterparts, then the party reflects that racism. And it seems as if the white Southerners are generally more racist than the rest of the country. Which party is the party of white Southerners again?

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will continue to enforce a 2014 executive order that offers protections for the employees of federal contractors from discrimination based on their sexual orientation, the White House said early Tuesday.

Mr. Trump “is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community,” the White House said. It said the 2014 executive order signed by former President Barack Obama that protects LGBTQ rights for people working at federal contractors “will remain intact at the direction” of the new president.

The executive order signed by Mr. Obama barred federal contractors from hiring or firing employees based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The 2014 order left in place exemptions that religious contractors currently enjoy but didn’t offer any new ones. To that end, religious contractors may continue to choose anybody they like for ministerial positions—discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or anything else if they so choose. For nonreligious posts, these contractors can continue to consider religion in hiring—but not sexual orientation or gender identity.

At the time, the Obama administration said the executive order affected 24,000 companies that collectively employed 28 million people, or one-fifth of the nation’s workforce.

Expect Trump next to coordinate with Russia, Turkey and Syria to establish safe zones. The Syrian refugee travesty falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama due to his indecisiveness and inaction. An embarrassing U.S. failure there. Inappropriate for him to chime in given his paralysis and indifference to their crisis but celebrities need public attention even when it displays rank hypocrisy. If anything, President Obama should be apologizing for allowing their plight to unfold

Boy am I glad the days of being subjected to obama's inaction and "moral" speeches are long gone. Nothing more infuriating than watching your leader mince words time and time again after these attacks and doing nothing. For 2yrs I've been saying I wanted a President who is proactive not reactive.

Right so no more thinking, you just want a president who does something, but what he does doesn't matter? What a bizarre stance.

What would you have done in Syria? Helped assad and Al queda or helped isis?

I week and Trump is garnering respect from other world leaders. Obama was losing respect one by one

Go travelling, you'll find Obama was very widely respected, more so than most presidents, and Trump is internationally despised and a joke among people and country leaders (apart from the far right politicians). But yes Trump is more respected than Obama among fascists - what an achievement. Anti Obama feeling was entirely a right wing construction in America.

Trump garnering respect internationally is one of the most ridiculous comments written on this thread yet!!!
What do you base this on?!
Orban? Facist leader of Hungary?
LePen facist presidential candidate in France?
Thats the ppl you want respect from?!

Political leader is respected when he/she is feared.
No politics anywhere is the world had any fear of Obama and by proxy to America.
Obviously country no matter how powerful it is can achieve and influence nothing if it is not respected.
This country can obviously can do some damage but cannot achieve any progress anywhere.
WE lost the grip of the world and it slipped into anarchy, war, and despair.
Trump-no-Trump it is time to assert our power again for the sake of the crumbling world.

Assert our power? In what way do you mean? Everyone already knows the U.S. is the most powerful nation on Earth. Many nations rely on this fact. Trump represents instability and not security.

Asserting the power means clearly define your position and use it.
Before we can use it we must define who we are with.
If we are supporting so called "moderate" rebels is Syria we need to clearly define who are they and then support them military.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_armed_groups_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War#Opposing_forces
Same true about Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and other countries.
If we as a nation are not sure then just get the hell out and let them dig their own grave.
Are we supporting Israel state or we want it gone?
US totally withdrew from any decisions and influence in Africa leaving it all to China.
In Asia China and Russia have upper hand in every aspect of politics.
Are we supporting India or Pakistan?
Iran and North Korea have green light to proceed with nukes an ballistic rockets.
Filipinos president can talk any smack about US and US president so why others cannot.
Russia can redefine the maps of Europe and kick around its neighbors including NATO states.
The list can go on.
Our international policy and position is weakened to state which is more embarrassing that Knicks team was for last 20 years.

You fear leaders you fear, you respect leaders your respect- fearing someone is not respecting them. Leaders fear Trump not because they think he's strong but because they wonder what blunder that oaf will end up doing- much like the latter years of Boris Yeltzin When he was a drunk with his finger on the nuclear button.

See how jacked up his thinking is? For a guy who supposedly escaped from Russia, he still worships totalitarianism and fear tactics. You can take people or of Russia, but you can't take Russia out of those people. The propaganda runs deep.

Yep. Anyone who thinks that the world or America is in a better state of global affairs then when President Obama took over is delusional. Plenty of weak kneed people are respected for their dignity and decency but those commendable personal traits mean little in the rough and tumble world where self interests rule. . A naive President Obama was led around by that jackass Clinton at the start and made so many early mistakes with the Arab Spring and compounding Bush's fockups resulted in him becoming paralyzed outside using drones and pontificating. Russian reset, red lines, two state blah blah. His words rang hollow and nations including NATO knew that there would be no teeth for aggressive actions beyond sanctions. Iran, Russia, China and Assad were all empowered as well as other regimes and became dismissive. Thought it was so hypocritical for President Obama to speak about Syrian refugees given his lack of leadership that allowed that crisis to flourish

What did you want him to do? Wage war on all Arab spring countries, Egypt, Libya, etc as well as maintain war in Iraq, plus start more wars vs Iran and Syria (which side do you support in Syria by the way? Assad, Al queda or ISIS). Because the wars vs Afghanistan and Iraq were so successful!

Boy am I glad the days of being subjected to obama's inaction and "moral" speeches are long gone. Nothing more infuriating than watching your leader mince words time and time again after these attacks and doing nothing. For 2yrs I've been saying I wanted a President who is proactive not reactive.

Right so no more thinking, you just want a president who does something, but what he does doesn't matter? What a bizarre stance.

What would you have done in Syria? Helped assad and Al queda or helped isis?

I week and Trump is garnering respect from other world leaders. Obama was losing respect one by one

Go travelling, you'll find Obama was very widely respected, more so than most presidents, and Trump is internationally despised and a joke among people and country leaders (apart from the far right politicians). But yes Trump is more respected than Obama among fascists - what an achievement. Anti Obama feeling was entirely a right wing construction in America.

Trump garnering respect internationally is one of the most ridiculous comments written on this thread yet!!!
What do you base this on?!
Orban? Facist leader of Hungary?
LePen facist presidential candidate in France?
Thats the ppl you want respect from?!

Political leader is respected when he/she is feared.
No politics anywhere is the world had any fear of Obama and by proxy to America.
Obviously country no matter how powerful it is can achieve and influence nothing if it is not respected.
This country can obviously can do some damage but cannot achieve any progress anywhere.
WE lost the grip of the world and it slipped into anarchy, war, and despair.
Trump-no-Trump it is time to assert our power again for the sake of the crumbling world.

Assert our power? In what way do you mean? Everyone already knows the U.S. is the most powerful nation on Earth. Many nations rely on this fact. Trump represents instability and not security.

Asserting the power means clearly define your position and use it.
Before we can use it we must define who we are with.
If we are supporting so called "moderate" rebels is Syria we need to clearly define who are they and then support them military.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_armed_groups_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War#Opposing_forces
Same true about Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and other countries.
If we as a nation are not sure then just get the hell out and let them dig their own grave.
Are we supporting Israel state or we want it gone?
US totally withdrew from any decisions and influence in Africa leaving it all to China.
In Asia China and Russia have upper hand in every aspect of politics.
Are we supporting India or Pakistan?
Iran and North Korea have green light to proceed with nukes an ballistic rockets.
Filipinos president can talk any smack about US and US president so why others cannot.
Russia can redefine the maps of Europe and kick around its neighbors including NATO states.
The list can go on.
Our international policy and position is weakened to state which is more embarrassing that Knicks team was for last 20 years.

Yep. Anyone who thinks that the world or America is in a better state of global affairs then when President Obama took over is delusional. Plenty of weak kneed people are respected for their dignity and decency but those commendable personal traits mean little in the rough and tumble world where self interests rule. . A naive President Obama was led around by that jackass Clinton at the start and made so many early mistakes with the Arab Spring and compounding Bush's fockups resulted in him becoming paralyzed outside using drones and pontificating. Russian reset, red lines, two state blah blah. His words rang hollow and nations including NATO knew that there would be no teeth for aggressive actions beyond sanctions. Iran, Russia, China and Assad were all empowered as well as other regimes and became dismissive. Thought it was so hypocritical for President Obama to speak about Syrian refugees given his lack of leadership that allowed that crisis to flourish

What did you want him to do? Wage war on all Arab spring countries, Egypt, Libya, etc as well as maintain war in Iraq, plus start more wars vs Iran and Syria (which side do you support in Syria by the way? Assad, Al queda or ISIS). Because the wars vs Afghanistan and Iraq were so successful!

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will continue to enforce a 2014 executive order that offers protections for the employees of federal contractors from discrimination based on their sexual orientation, the White House said early Tuesday.

Mr. Trump “is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community,” the White House said. It said the 2014 executive order signed by former President Barack Obama that protects LGBTQ rights for people working at federal contractors “will remain intact at the direction” of the new president.

The executive order signed by Mr. Obama barred federal contractors from hiring or firing employees based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The 2014 order left in place exemptions that religious contractors currently enjoy but didn’t offer any new ones. To that end, religious contractors may continue to choose anybody they like for ministerial positions—discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or anything else if they so choose. For nonreligious posts, these contractors can continue to consider religion in hiring—but not sexual orientation or gender identity.

At the time, the Obama administration said the executive order affected 24,000 companies that collectively employed 28 million people, or one-fifth of the nation’s workforce.

Expect Trump next to coordinate with Russia, Turkey and Syria to establish safe zones. The Syrian refugee travesty falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama due to his indecisiveness and inaction. An embarrassing U.S. failure there. Inappropriate for him to chime in given his paralysis and indifference to their crisis but celebrities need public attention even when it displays rank hypocrisy. If anything, President Obama should be apologizing for allowing their plight to unfold

Right, our NATO allies had no respect for Obama but love Trump who has said that NATO countries don't pay their fare share and that https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-15/trump-calls-nato-obsolete-and-dismisses-eu-in-german-interview
