    I already know what you and Warren said. That's entertaining enough for me!

    All this pandering will have a cost for whichever clown wins the nomination. In the past the media could silence anything like past pandering, they could control the conversations and keep this sort of thing out. That's no longer the case, Trump won't allow such things to remain silenced and the media can't ignore him.

    Any time Trump tells the truth the left goes ballistic, what could the left do if Trump said straight white males were the backbone of America? Call him racist again? Everything the left has whined about has weakened any criticism they now have about Trump, its all been there, seen that, and viewed as white noise...

    Great.

    As long as you find entertainment value by Mis-Reading (and Misinterpreting) another member's posts, have at it.

    Isn't the Internet supposed to be Fun?

    Whatever floats your boat. :salute:

    Obviously, Warren's statement was referring to Black Women (Trans as well as Straight, Bi, and Lesbian).

    But, obviously the First part of her Statement was Referring to BLACK Women Exclusively.

    "Black trans and cis women"

    ^In the contest of the quote, I would read that as:

    "Black trans women and Black cis women".

    Sort of like if I said:

    "American boys and girls".

    I would mean "American boys and American girls".

    I WOULDN'T mean "American boys and all the girls in the world"

    I can't offer any interpretive guidance (beyond that example).

    You either get it, or you don't.

    And, obviously, it is your prerogative to believe whatever you want.


    Of course the "Headline" was Comically Mischarcterized (as is the Breitbart COMEDY Site's stock in trade as they continually create Absurdly Misguided RW Clickbait).

    Carry on. :salute:

    Is she serious about some of her plans or playing to the crowd? I go with playing to the crowd on some of it, but who knows?

    If she is serious, the Democrat party is about to be in more of a civil war than ever- if by a miracle she were to win.

    The major Dem donors are NEVER going to let her get away with these tax plans.

    People think it's just the right wingers against the taxes. People forget what Super PACs are and how these big named politicians win nominations.

    Rich people.

    I get that she could have just said, "Black Women" if that's who she wanted to refer to. If you have to break down and translate her statement like you just did it tells me that she has already lost the communications war.

    I would never use "backbone of America" to describe people who aren't doing something in particular--soldiers, police, firefighters--that involves personal sacrifice or risk. Football fans? No. Transgenders? No. A transgender or football fan who serves in the military? You bet.

    Why is backbone limited to just those persons? I think it applies to the hard working traditional families and persons who uphold our traditions and foundations of our country.

    Agreed, and that's why I think she's playing to the crowd. She has to know she couldn't get away with it if Republicans set on their hands.
    Plutocracy? Is that what we are?

    What's a traditional family? I assume you mean "heterosexual." How could they be anything other than a figurative backbone when homosexuals are less than 5% of society? And how do we determine who is and isn't hard-working?

    The "backbone" thing makes no more sense than talking about the "silent majority."

    Black women are 3 percent of the population.
    Black trans women are under 1 percent of the population.

    Thats the "backbone of our democracy" how again?

    The corporate wing of the democrat party will never allow a Warren to seriously run.

    Just like Bernie in 2016.

    Current population estimates show that FEMALES make up Roughly 50.8% of the USA Population.

    Also, it is currently estimated that 13.7% of the USA Female Population is BLACK.

    If you have any doubts about these figures, I would suggest Google.

    Hopefully, you are a student of Math;

    Because, 50.8 x 13.7 = 6.96% (In other words, About 7%).

    Your statement is Flat Out WRONG.

    Why are you spreading such Blatant MISINFORMATION?

    Where did you get that number? Thin Air?:bored:

    Glad to be of service. :salute:

    True.

    I have no idea.

    Ask Liz.

    Carry on, and may I suggest double-checking numbers (that can be easily checked and verified) before you don't, once again, find yourself posting Misinformation.

    Nothing personal, of course. Just a friendly reminder to prevent a recurrence.

    Carry on. :salute:

    Huh? The media promote conflict. Almost all the action in Ferguson, Missouri took place in several blocks of the main street in front a huge housing project plunked down in the middle of a suburb. Nowhere else. One block off the main street--nothing. In context, we can see what happens when stupid pols plunk down poor people in high-rise sweatboxes in a suburb, the people head outside for relief and get into trouble. Days of media attention and an influx of outside agitators ... the conflict was limited to the same couple of blocks. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC all whooped it up.
    Total fiction. Trump has never been ignored by the media.
    Is this related to that? The "left" (liberals? socialists? communists? Democrats?) would "go ballistic" if Trump said straight, whites males are the "backbone of America?" Is that what you're saying?
    You seem to have slipped into incoherence.

    AJ, only about half of Blacks are of working age, and roughly half of those are women.

    Its about 3 percent.

    But you DIDN'T Say "Working Age" in your Original Post.

    You said:

    "Black women are 3 percent of the population"

    ^No "Qualification" (whatsoever about "Working Age").


    THUS, You posted BLATANT Misinformation in your Original Post.

    Now (after the fact) you are backpedaling (trying to cover your tracks). :bored:

    Sorry, Bro'. Just ADMIT that you posted Misinformation (in your Original Post), accept the fact that you got owned (as to this point) and move on.

    No biggie. It happens. You LOST this one.

    Carry on. :salute:

    Children are generally not working or contributing significantly to our domestic product.

    Do I have to tell you that infants aren't either?

    Per Warrens words, its about 4 percent of the population.

    Thats not a backbone.

    Who cares?:bored:

    My POINT was that your post that "Black women are 3 Percent of the population" was Complete BS (and Blatant MISINFORMATION).

    ^That is UNDEINABLE, because you Didn't "Qualify" your Original Statement with "Working Age"

    Face it, Bro'. You got owned. (And, all of the backpedaling in the world won't change that). Life goes on. No Biggie.:handshake:


    As far as "Backbone"? Ask Liz. :salute:

    AJ, it appears you didn't understand that children are excluded.

    Hopefully you learned something.

    BUT, you DIDN'T say "Children were excluded" in your Original Statement in Post #88 (on Page 4).


    Everybody on the Forum KNOWS that you Posted Blatant MISINFORMATION (and got owned) as to that particular statement.

    It is there for everyone to see (regardless of your backpedaling "spin").

    Any further response (as to this matter) is a WASTE of time.

    If you aren't going to own up to it, there is nothing further to be discussed.

    You posted Blatant Misinformation, Got Owned, End of Story.:salute:

    I shouldn't have to say children are excluded AJ.

    You have roughly 3 percent who are black women.

    And roughly 1 percent who are black men pretending to be women.

    For a total of 4 percent-thats no backbone.
