Do you want to really talk about selective public outrage by a president about tragic events? Cause I have a list a mile long.
Here's the thing, let your bias go and you won't see a monster at every turn. You are in fact acting in a way that is as bigoted as the person you are accusing. Stop, breathe, and let it go!

:ok1:

(For the record, the incident in Canada raises issues about bias as well, and the story that has emerged is in direct conflict with the original one that was coming from the scene. Again, in today's rush to inform the world of every happening, more news is false than that which is accurate.

@aadam101:

But your premium isn't based on how many services you are using.  The risk adjustment process isn't taking into account the risk of each individual person.  Medical underwriting was eliminated under ObamaCare.

African Americans account for a higher percentage of heart disease and diabetes cases.   Should we charge them more?

Obviously, YES!

Republicans made the argument that had Hillary one, they would have blocked her SCOTUS nominees for 4 years. Ted Cruz even said there was no need for a 9th justice. Deny #45 everything until he (1) changes and proves he's worthy of the office he's holding and (2) releases his tax returns and divests himself from every company he's involved with to remove all doubt about Russian ties. Scalia died early last year; therefore, President Obama should have been able to pick his successor and his pick should have been given a FAIR HEARING.

Elections have consequences. You can't change the rules because you don't like the outcome. The Republicans took a gamble last year and followed the [Biden Rule] (http://www.republican.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/blog?ID=7E53BFEC-32B0-4B55-A753-3860F588D30A)
It paid off for them. Reid started the process of dismantling the filibuster. Looks like McConnell may kill the whole thing.

As polarized as the country is, and thanks to 24/7 news channels it is only going to get worse. The Democrats can obstruct for the next 2 years and see how that works in the mid-terms, but if you go out to middle-America, it won't end well for them. People can quote whatever poll they want, but let me tell you, outside of the coasts and metro areas, Trump's support is stronger than it was when he was elected. They aren't just happy with him, they are beyond thrilled. That doesn't look good for Democrats in red states in 2 years, especially if they look to be nothing but obstructionists.

@raphjd:

Oddly, on the same site they are saying that the White House has officially said that there is no anti-LGBT executive order on the cards.

HEY!!! You stop that! Quit trying to talk sensibly and logically in here! In here, we all have to rail against everything a republican says or does or MIGHT EVEN POSSIBLY DO or we cannot claim to be gay!
:fight:

@royalcrown89:

Just learned that it's standard for whitehouse.gov to remove all pages associated with the previous president, so the LGBT page disappearing doesn't mean anything. Still, all eyes are on this administration. The election is over. Hillary Clinton did not win; therefore, Hillary Clinton is irrelevant at this point. Trump won and is our president which means everything he says and does is the action of the president, he does not get any passes. I do not care that the Republican base is anti-LGBT, he cannot afford to be anti-LGBT. He has practically no political capital and no honeymoon period due to his low approval rating (which ranges from 32-37% by many reputable sources, including Fox News/Pew). You may not believe in polls anymore but the reality of the low turnout at his inauguration is symbolic of his real support. There are blogs and other online groups dedicated to showing the thousands of regret posts on Twitter and Facebook by people who voted for him due to his billionaire Wall Street cabinet picks and his opinion changes since the election. He has no room for any mistakes like many other presidents have had. His best chance is to reflect policies based on what the majority of Americans support. If he or Pence or even the Republicans launch an assault on the LGBT community then they will be DONE.

What opinion changes? Name at least 2. Yesterday, even the liberal media had to concede his whole address boiled down to, "yep, I meant everything I said on the campaign."
Keep living in the clouds if you think that he is somehow worried about those polls or what the dems or even the repubs think.

The stupidity that the SJWs of the gay community espouses just astounds me…

@royalcrown89:

You should really make friends with Google search, because it can help with a lot of your inquiries… Multiple credible polls from places like Gallup and even Fox News...
I'm illogical for getting upset at Donald Trump saying a Civil Rights leader who got his head cracked open by racist white people while trying to secure the right to vote for disenfranchised blacks is "all talk and no action" because of an opinion held by that Civil Rights leader? He's "all talk and no action" after nearly dying for something important and meaningful in this country? By saying that, Donald Trump has made an attempt to discredit the entire Civil Rights accomplishments. You, along with Trump and others, are disgusting for trying to minimize the heroic steps people like Dr. King and John Lewis took to bring about change.

So once again, Donald Trump can shut this whole thing down by releasing his tax returns (which other presidents have done) to prove he has no ties to Russia and that John Lewis nor anyone else can question his legitimacy to be our new commander-in-chief. If he continues to keep his tax returns hidden then he owes John Lewis an apology. This situation is going to go from bad to worse and it will be one of the things that defines the Trump presidency, I can guarantee you that.

A couple of things, but it is obvious that facts and logic don't play into your thinking:

1. Gallup did zero presidential polling in 2016, but anyone who thinks the polls were correct in 2016 must be standing on a very thin ledge to contort themselves into such a position as to see the rainbows and unicorns they must also see.
2. Why do you keep trying to obfuscate Trump's words to mean something entirely different than what they actually meant. He said nothing about Lewis' work 50 years ago as a civil rights protester– he was CLEARLY referencing his current tenure in Congress, where Lewis has been nothing but a partisan hack, and who represents one of the worst districts in all of Georgia in terms of quality of living.
3. Why in the world do you keep referencing tax returns? Even the insane race-baiter Lewis doesn't try to make that link to Russia.
   Seriously dude, step away from the crack!

@royalcrown89:

"He won," right? He sure did, but at what cost? His own voters are saying they regret voting for him due to his reckless behavior on Twitter and the people he picked for his cabinet, now more are backing away because of this situation. He has a record low approval rating for a President-elect, his transition has the lowest rating in history and instead of trying to pull the country together he is attacking a Civil Rights leader.

How can we be supportive of him when he attacks someone who nearly lost his life trying to secure the right to vote for black people?

What voters are saying they regret voting for him? Also, who did the approval polling? Probably the same people that gave him a less than 1% chance of winning the election.

As for the next statement, it shows how illogical you are. Just because someone did something good 50 years ago does not mean everything they have done since then is also good. I also think it is disingenuous to say that Trump attacked the Congressman. He countered a vile attack (based on lies and misinformation) on him by stating verifiable facts in a suggestion to the actual attacker.

I am sorry, but your whole premise is absurd. Somehow you find it acceptable to question the legitimacy of the presidential election (based on zero evidence– and then state that it hasn't been disproved-- which is impossible), which in effect questions the legitimacy of every elected official in this country, which could bring about anarchy and chaos, BUT you take issue with the man who has been attacked responding to said attack with a factual statement, instead of hyperbolic political-speak?

No, I hate to say that you were lying when you said you were willing to give Trump a chance, but you were at the very least disingenuous.

I think the only person left that thinks Vivica is still relevant is Vivica.

Of course I have… we all have. Now imagine how difficult it is to find friends in the Northeast USA, make a living in the theater and academic arenas, be a gay man married to a real-life Indian Chief AND be a person with less than the liberal talking points prevalent in today's society and an inability to let stupid shit be said without responding-- it isn't easy!  :crazy2:

:churn: :cum:

Nobody can see what torrents you are talking about unless you link to them.

:fap: :sucky:

@bostonpolar:

If you voted Republican in the November 2016 election, you did vote AGAINST the civil rights of LGBT people in our United States of America.

Wake up.
. . .

:crap:
Keep yelling and you can keep fucking off!
Nobody tells how to vote, and your acting like a raving moron doesn't help sway my opinion of the :pleasant: "tolerant left." :pleasant:

@asimpleman:

I hope you agree.   

I do! Any idea who the model in the sepia picture is?

Probably MenAtPlay  :cum:

If you think it's scary, don't go for it. How is that so hard to understand? :afraid2:

If you are ever in Pennsylvania, USA… I would be glad to worship those feet and cock for you! :foot: :bj2:

@tempbo:

Congratulations, my fellow gays: you just as dumb and self destructive as straight people. Thanks for disillusioning me that way.  :nutki:

If you are going to call people dumb, it is probably a good idea to not sound dumb while doing so.
