Nice take on Delta. Maybe you can follow up with a story about the Koch brothers suffering so mightily under the Obama regime.
I think we should exempt Delta from state income taxes saving everyone a lot of money on paperwork.
A left leaning rag pushes the Oscars be cancelled because of Trump’s immigration position knowing it will not because the Academy wants the money………is that a teaser ?

The planets were apparently 5 days behind in 1962. (Or I was born 5 days early.)
So, when can Italy expect Vatican City to declare as a sanctuary city and the Vatican cut loose a few billion for the local refugee problem ?
talk about casting the first stone
Vatican City is a country. It has no legal standing with country of Italy. It’s church is already a sanctuary. It also underwrites and guides one of the larger organized charities supporting, feeding and helping to find homes for refugees.

Yes, Vatican City is the name of a country so correct that to read sanctuary country surrounded by Italy. How many Muslim refugees are in that country and how much is that country donating specifically for the refugees entering their surrounding country (not just the worldwide charity of many good good causes)?
Inside Vatican City country?
Ok now tell me again how peaceful, tolerant, and inclusive liberals are.

Ironic that the campus where the ‘free speech movement’ began has devolved to the current situation where free speech is only accepted if it fits the collective ideology of a leftist student body. Eventually the quiet/tolerant majority is going to reach a boiling point and fight back against these know-nothing, spoiled rotten punks…oops, I mean millenials.
“Eventually the quiet/tolerant majority is going to reach a boiling point and fight back…”
Agree 1000%.
They began this “fight back” by electing Trump!
So where is the tolerant campus that would/should welcome the racist Yianappolis?
You gotta give Berkeley credit for trying.
Why bless your heart. I see that I made an error and forgot to put a question mark at the end so I understand your confusion. I’ll correct that now.
Ok now tell me again how peaceful, tolerant, and inclusive liberals are?
I agree with your professor that you are not free from the consequences of your speech but tell me when will the Berkeley snowflakes be held accountable for damaging others property? Protesting is one thing but a riot is another thing entirely.
“Anti-fascist”?? LOL-ROTF! The alt-left mob shutting down free speech by anyone who doesn’t agree with them is the very definition of fascism. And Milo is a gay Jewish Brit — multi-level discrimination, homophobia, xenophobia, and hate violence by the jerks.
Maybe you should invite him to speak at your next neighborhood meeting.
I always assumed that a number of anarchists slipped into various large protests, just so they had cover for their nefarious intents, but I don’t think anyone would knowingly want anarchists amongst their otherwise peaceful protests.
“Does the First Amendment prohibit private citizens from denying him a platform with which to spread his hate speech? Nope.”
Are you implying Berkeley is private? Do they take any gov’t money? If so, they ain’t private.
Next!
UC Berkley took in $370 million in research funds from us, the American taxpayers during the 2015-2016 year. Wonder how much will be needed to replace damaged property at the various research facilities on campus after last night?

$370M to study the effects that the rainbow flag has on the American psyche? Ridiculous.
Did the Repubs vote the EPA nominee out of committee this am without Dems?
Yep, the same procedure they used for Price and Mnuchin yesterday.
I thought so. Dems are now saying: “Thank you sir, may I have another?”
I’m just glad that the senate republicans had the balls to call their bluff of not showing up to the hearing and force the nominees out of committee anyway.
So true. Senate Committee Dems = Trump’s Chumps!
Awkward?

I don’t know (nor do I care) how many attended Trump’s inauguration. But I can tell you exactly how many people attended Hillary’s inauguration. And that’s the only number that matters.
