The fact that you want to put all of humanity in one bucket and base another human's career on how they navigate that one bucket is extremely telling. It also explains why we have the societal problems that we have. The United States is a failed experiment. We are split 50/50. One 50 percent wants freedom in these areas. The other 50% wants freedom in the complete opposite areas. Never shall the two cross. We had 8 years of Obama and his freedoms. Now we have 8 years of Trump and his freedoms. It's not workable.

The point of vocational training is developing marketable skills. That's what plumbing school and clown college and law school are for. All important and honorable.
All those things are the courses that a ship can take. Education is building the ship.Cornell University

Suburban Holocaust denier all but certain to win GOP nomination for House seat
Arthur Jones -- an outspoken Holocaust denier, activist anti-Semite and white supremacist -- is poised to become the Republican nominee for an Illinois congressional seat representing parts of Chicago and nearby suburbs.
"Well first of all, I'm running for Congress not the chancellor of Germany. All right. To me the Holocaust is what I said it is: It's an international extortion racket," Jones told the Chicago Sun-Times.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Ugh. If I lived in that district and had some time I'd register as a Republican just to get on the primary to make sure he loses. I wouldn't even give a sh** about running a campaign. Just enough to make sure people like this keep losing.Cornell University

...but, of course.
A remarkable subversion of our democracy continues in Pennsylvania. After losing their fight at the Supreme Court, Republicans are now threatening to impeach members of the state Supreme Court who found the congressional map to be an unconstitutional gerrymander. pic.***********/SbrnCwU43Q
