Only because Republican voters could not be counted on to reject a racist POS game show host who brags about sexually assaulting women.

Damn democracy and people voting for who they think is the better choice.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) adopted a new rule on Friday aimed at keeping outsider candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from trying to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

The new rule, adopted by the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee, requires all Democratic presidential candidates to be a member of the Democratic Party, Yahoo News reported.

A presidential candidate running for the Democratic nomination must be a member of the party, accept the Democratic nomination and "run and serve" as a member.

None of the other kids were disciplined for something that was within the rules, so it's understandable they didn't react the way this child did. It's astonishing i even need to write that out for you. - #91 | Posted by JOE at 2019-02-18 07:28 PM
I don't see any evidence of him being disciplined for something that was within the rules. He doesn't appear to have been disciplined for not standing for the pledge, only for his refusal to leave the classroom and threats of violence. Can you point out what led you to believe that he was disciplined for something that was within the rules, maybe I missed it?

One of us looks like an idiot. - #55 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2019-02-18 03:09 PM
I'm betting it is the one lying about the repeal of the voting rights act.

So when a cop is illegally arresting you, it's against the law to say "no". #18 | Posted by TFDNihilist at 2019-02-18 01:08 AM
It's a good thing then that we don't have any indication that the child was being arrested illegally. Instead, we see the child was arrested for disruption in the classroom, making threats, and resisting being removed from the classroom.
Phew.

#9 - no proof, only Alvarez' word on it, and she already lied. - #10 | Posted by YAV at 2019-02-17 11:22 PM
Where is it that she lied?
Also, if only there had been a room full of students and a school officer who would be able to give information on what happened...
Also, it wasn't the teacher who made the determination on arresting the child. Again, from the article:

The student was later charged with disruption of a school facility and resisting an officer without violence.

The Lakeland Police Department said in a news release that the student was not arrested for refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

"This arrest was based on the student's choice to disrupt the classroom, make threats and resisting the officer's efforts to leave the classroom," the release said.

Liars always leave out the part that Steele was first hired by Republicans during the primaries. - #14 | Posted by danni at 2019-02-16 10:32 AM
Danni. You're either a liar or you're ignorant.
From the link that YOU used in your #18:

After Mr. Trump secured the nomination, Fusion GPS was hired on behalf of Mrs. Clinton's campaign and the D.N.C. by their law firm, Perkins Coie, to compile research about Mr. Trump, his businesses and associates -- including possible connections with Russia. It was at that point that Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele, who has deep sourcing in Russia, to gather information.

Please allow me to quote you 'I'll wait for your apology liar.'

From the article: "The affidavit stated that the student threatened to beat the teacher"

And it isn't primarily Democrats hiring them either #29 | Posted by danni at 2019-02-17 11:48 AM
Any citation other than your bigotry?

Thanks for outing yourself as a liar nice and early.

I am no tax professional, but all I've read in the past couple of days indicate that taxes levied on non-transactional occurrences are apportioned to the state in accordance with their population. It was one of the reason for the census. Each state will be responsible for their share of the population portion of whatever tax amount the federal gov't declares. California as a whole would be responsible for about 12% of the bill and Wyoming about .17%.

Anyone more knowledge is invited to correct my understanding.

The repukes had 8 years and decided to focus on two things... repeal the ACA and Benghazi... 0 for 2 - #45 | Posted by RightisTrite at 2019-02-12 03:01 PM
Pretty sure they were focused on taking back control of the House, the Senate, & the Presidency.
Guess you were focused on the wrong things.

Military bases that don't allow photography make it abundantly clear. I have to go through several checkpoints, and each oen has a sign indicating 'No cameras' 'No radio-frequency devices' 'No personal electronic devices' - not to mention the badge-checks and guards. While not impossible, you'd have to make an effort to bypass the physical barriers preventing access.

I had the cameras removed from my phone years ago so that I could use a decent smart-phone instead of an ancient flip-phone and still be able to transit my various work-spaces. Even that doesn't allow me 'onto some specific types of ship' at the moment. They're currently restricted to 'No personal electronic devices'.

We should give equally little weight to the thoughts and opinions of those who only accept outcomes that agree with their particular brand of partisanship regardless of that brand.

I would trust this inquiry over the cluster that happening in the house. - #8 | Posted by boaz at 2019-02-12 12:24 PM
As the posters above must have made abundantly clear to you, Boaz, there have only ever been 2 options for any investigation: Either it finds evidence of wrongdoing by Trump, or it is flawed in some way. Facts-be-damned. You know as well as I do that there was never going to be any acceptance by some people of any result other than the ignorant, preconceived notion that Trump and Russia colluded to steal the 2016 election.

SO many of these VA leadership threads. Is this another one where people are suddenly accepting of some racism amongst their leadership as long as they're of the correct political persuasion?

This crap needs to stop. One doesn't get to stay silent for decades and then make accusations that offer no proof. - #1 | Posted by gracieamazed at 2019-02-08 06:19 PM
Ms. Watson didn't stay silent for decades. She immediately informed her friends that Fairfax raped her the day after it happened, and she named him as the perpetrator.
Dr. Tyson, who is accusing Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, recounted her allegations to Virginia Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott in 2017.

Can somebody from this site that typically is seen as a lefty explain what a "win" looks like in this situation? - #7 | Posted by 101Chairborne at 2019-02-08 09:23 PM

Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery; it's refreshing to see you emulate Trumpers. I'm happy you've chosen to demonstrate your true self with us.

I know that it would be one more ordeal than the ones she has already survived, and I respect her decision to do what is right for herself, but put me down as wishing that she would change her mind about not press charges.

Which I addressed in my #23 and you directly quoted..."The down-side being that the cost for society will go up(-). " I then even responded about that extra cost to society.
Did you even read what you were replying to?

Grr...now I've switched up the stay from the abortion law case with this death row case. I need to stop drudgeing at work, sorry.
I think that it is petty to prevent a person from having their last rights regardless of the religion involved. We should be better than petty and vindictive.
