I'm not trying to give you a hard time mate, you just said tough to avoid so I thought you wanted to avoid it

What bull****? Having different standards for real people and celebrities is probably as old as the first famous person.

Don't come back at me. This is what the mongrel's wanted. This is what they got. And, as usual, it's going to hurt the worst off much worse than the financially privileged.

Stupid people 101.

^ Young folks who'll be burdened with all the new debt that Trump has incurred, plus the job of mopping up the environmental damage after the EPA has allowed every last drop of fossil fuel to be burned in the name of short-term profit.

A year ago in the MSM there was a lot of commendable talk about the American system of checks and balances, but that's not mentioned so much any more. With the complicity of the GOP, Trump forges ahead, unchecked and unbalanced.

Yeah, I don't expect to be around all that much longer with my bad heart and all. I think us old timers (I'm assuming some of us, like me, are in their fifties) were fortunate to have lived in the years we did. We missed World War II and, hopefully, we'll miss World War III or the second American Civil War or both. If not, at least we can say we had a mostly peaceful youth.

Also, tuition was 1/10 as much and crazy sky high rent was only in little pockets not everywhere. Honestly, the middle class was much more accessible when we came to age. The divide between rich and poor is much more pronounced now. They say the economy is good now but it seems to me millennials (and there around) hardly have a fighting chance. We were the first generation to make less on average than our parents but we still had it relatively easy. My heart goes out to young people today. They’re the ones who are really going to have to fight to redistribute the wealth and their children are going to deeply feel the ecological destruction that we’re leaving behind.

Ben Shapiro is gonna get the next seat. So at least we'll have plenty of Jewish representation. :p:
