One of the most replicable findings in all of American political statistical analysis is that Republicans give significantly more to charity and volunteer more for the poor than democrats do.
It's not even close. It has never been close.
We put nine women in charge of a jury for two weeks and they tried to let a mom get away with strangling her kids. Then they launched a vicious smear campaign against the one black man who stood in their way.
So I’m confident Obama is full of shit here.
We used to get hurricanes all the time. Big, powerful storms—beautiful storms, but they were a disaster. And you know why? Because they didn’t respect America, they thought we were weak. So I called NOAA and FEMA and said “we’re changing it to the Gulf of America, because these hurricanes have gotta stop pushing us around, it’s not good.” And the weather people said “sir, you can’t just change the name of an ocean, it won’t stop the hurricanes, they’re too strong!” But we changed the name and we got Tim Apple to change the maps and now we don’t have hurricanes anymore.
NEW: We visited PS 307, the failing public school that Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to.
The teachers make an average of over $100,000 a year. The school spends $52,000 per student each year. The student/teacher ratio is 9 to 1.
We went to another school just down the street that spends less than half of what PS 307 does—yet the academic outcomes are significantly better.
Underfunding and racism aren't causing schools to fail. @DanielDiMartino explains what is:
Alice Weidel: "A country that punishes for fishing without a license, but not for crossing its borders illegally, is a country governed by idiots." https://t.co/SoLZNX2y0G
AfD has won the election in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt with more than 43% of the vote
It's not surpising at all, people are tired and frustrated with their country being overrun with migrants
🇩🇪 La líder del partido de Derecha en Alemania, Alice Weidel tiene razón:
“Un país que castiga por pescar sin licencia, pero no por cruzar sus fronteras ilegalmente, es un país gobernado por idiotas”.👏
"Capitalism is why people have to work" is very silly thing to say, but it's part of a grand tradition of blaming literally everything, no matter how absurd, on capitalism.
A short thread:
can you imagine stealing money meant for sick and dying people? can you imagine entering elected office and looking the other way? that is what this is. that is what we are talking about. how is this not the single biggest galvanizing issue in american politics?
The reason people hate flock cameras is that they know the government will not use them to lock up the insane depraved criminals who will stab you while you walk through Times Square but will instead mail you a ticket for speeding on an empty highway at 2AM.
