Average Americans of both parties are offended by this type garbage from both the customer and the employee.
For some reason the Dem Clown Car candidates are fighting to court these fringe individuals.
Honestly WTF is wrong with some people? Unsafe around 6 police officers tells me you have something to hide.
And don’t bring up the Michael Brown garbage that started a movement based on a lie.

The title: Democrats Just Had Their Worst Week in 47 years.
Even you know that's not remotely true. Democrats had the worst week the day Trump was elected.
Not the working ones with 401k’s reaping the benefits of their making the hard decisions in life.
Those Dems, which are the majority of the party, may not agree with Trump on every issue, will usually vote their best interests. And the crazy talk during the first debates does not appeal to their interests or life. It’s why Biden is the only chance they have, and in typical Joe fashion, he’s messing that up with his pandering to the far left.

Quote: beachbumbabsQuote: ThatDonGuyActually, the question itself is quite constitutional:
"The Enumeration Clause permits Congress, and by extension the Secretary, to inquire about citizenship on the census questionnaire." - Department of Commerce v. New York
It was ordered withheld because the decision to include it is reviewable under the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Court determined that, in light of new evidence, the stated reason for including it didn't pass the smell test.
If you want to get pedantic, asking about a person's race, age, or even gender, in the census is unconstitutional; the only thing it should be able to ask is, "Are you an Indian not subject to federal taxation?", since they are not counted. ("Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed." - 14th Amendment, Section 2)
On the bare facts, it's my best understanding you're entirely correct.
The problem, and the ruling, comes in context. The intent of that question appearing now, is to disenfranchise voting citizens who have a relative in the country illegally or undocumented, or any other concerns about the status of their citizenship and the way things are going right now. It has been advocated and pushed for years by white supremacists and their sympathizers who hope to lessen the immigration of brown people.
And at this statement you lose any credibility for the rest of what you have to say.
How on earth is asking about citizenship "disenfranchising" anyone? If anything, the pro-illegal alien policies of states like CA give those states a disproportionate representation in Congress.
Sorry, but I cannot take people who cry "white supremacist" to shout down policies they do not like.

It will all become clear, even to you, pretty soon. The Court got pissed off yesterday and ordered discovery on the internal documents and study I referenced. Which means it will all eventually become public record.
And in this case, it is based in actual supremacist attitudes and plans, if what has leaked so far is correct. I don't idly throw around racist labels, and don't appreciate that you try to cast me in that light.
BTW, I couldn't care less whether you find me credible, as you are so fond of throwing at me. Couple dozen times by now, isn't it, hoping to appear the better person? I don't find you credible, so why would you think I was? A waste of my time to worry about your opinion, so I don't.

Actually you do throw around racist labels, at least in this case you are. At the same time, you seem to support the "Brown Supremacists" like Obama and Kamala. See, if you are going to throw that kind of talk around, I guess it is acceptable to do so on this board?
All the "internal documents" will show is a concern that we serve the citizens of the USA, not the illegal aliens.

I am sure you do not care about my opinion. And I really do not care. I just enjoy pointing out when a person takes out liberal SJW positions but cloaks it in the "I WAS A REPUBLICAN FOR 30 YEARS UNTIL THIS CREW CAME IN POWER!!!!!" Or that someone thinks Trump is "misogynist" yet does not care about the sexual harassment of Bill Clinton and his inappropriate behaviors. Or that the GOP is "extreme" but is happy to be in the party who's candidates all support free health care for illegal aliens.
Trump has made more progress in foreign policy in 2.5 years than we had in the 20 before. He has made the economy boom. Yet you support fighting every last thing he has and wants to do because he is not part of the little country-club that is USA politics. The reality is that the opposition to the citizenship question is the same as the groans the left had when Trump said he was going to track crimes by illegal aliens, fear that the real truth will be coming out.

The best model I ever saw was Habitat for Humanity. You have to put in I forget how many hours building someone else's house, then the same building your own. The number was not trivial. The idea was that you learn about how a house is built so you know how to keep it up, and you have sweat equity. History shows when you give people homes they tend to destroy them. A few are good souls who will keep them up, most not so much.
But pols get good soundbites promising free houses.

Because nobody said Black home ownership caused the recession. Mortgages forced by the Community Reinvestment Act with lax underwriting standards caused it.
But Kamala did say she wants to help people based on skin color if you read that one.

Free healthcare is not a right. If you have a kid it is on you to pay, not "society." Please complain about the parents, not about me.
I am not being hypocritical at all. You are saying I am because I do not live up to your standards of supporting socialism.

NONE of them said that. The question was "access to health care". The word "free" was not in there.
"Affordable" does not mean free, either. There are many proposals out there. Deductibles. Co-pays. In-country vs. Out-of-country rates, like in-state tuition for colleges is now. Lots of ways to structure it short of illegals left in the shadows to suffer because they can't walk into a doctor's without threat of deportation.
Making a health care system AVAILABLE is different from free to all. And I think it's evil to keep up the distortions and lies about what's being discussed by various people, building up resentment about vague "others" stealing "your" public health tax dollars to help their "undeserving" families' needs.
When I was last in England, I had a minor issue, went to a clinic, paid a fee, got seen. It wasn't free. But it was available, and it was affordable. I'm not saying their NHS is what we should adopt. Just an example showing it can be done.

Oh, you so have what I believe John Travolta called "TB Syndrome." You truly believe what they are saying and promising. That they do not want a government takeover of all of healthcare. That there will be all these plans, and you will be able to just walk in to whatever doctor you like and get the care you want, illegal alien or not.
One moment I hear they are afraid to walk into a doctor's office for fear of deportation, the next I hear they are clogging every ER. I wish the story could get straight.
