    We should consider the possibility he might be abusing asatru or is not an adequate representation of the pagan group in general. Just like the american Asatru folk assembly might be a perverted and politicised version of Asatru.

    You're mind can't be changed. You're entrenched. I provided evidence last Wednesday which you dismissed as insignificant. Then, the forums ate all of Wednesday's posts, but not before you defended Trump making fun of Asians. I doubt your mind can be changed

    The funny thing is that Trump was never seen as a racist until he became a candidate. It's all an illusion

    I would say that is putting it mildly.
    I do find their idea of the super race or true germanic people somewhat of a paradox especially for Hitler: Tall, Blond, Blue Eyes and strong...now compare that to hitler short, Dark hair, weak (from parkinsons decies)
    He must have really hated him self.

    Sorry to hear you're so down on babyboomers, especially since this site was founded by one and many members were part of the counter culture of the sixes.

    The funny thing is Trump was sued by the Justice Department in 1973 and 1976 for racial discrimination. Trump settled out of court and had to abide by various rulings as penalty.
    In the 80s he was known for discrimination:
    In 1989 he called for the death penalty against black men who were later found innocent.
    In 1991 he called called black casino workers lazy.
    In 1992 the New Jersey Casino Control Commission fined the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino $200,000 for racial discrimination.
    In 1993 he claimed the Mashantucket Pequot Nation didn't look look "Indians" and claimed they were in the Mafia.
    In 2015 he condoned the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester at one of his campaign rallies.
    In 2015 he condoned the Trump anti-immigrant beating of a homeless Hispanic man.
    In 2015 at a campaign rally he stereotyped Jews as talented and cunning business people.
    In 2015 he tweeted an anti-Semitic Hillary Clinton photo of her over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed Jewish Star of David next to her face.
    At a campaign rally in 2015 he pointed out his "....African American over here.”

    ..and those are just some of the incidents.

    But you know all that, we've gone over it all many times before but you seem to think you can use propaganda to sway us toward your views.
    In the words of one infamous man:

    Please do.
    Mexican wall.....nada.
    Energy policy? Wind turbines have bird cemeteries under them and they cause cancer.
    Natural gas exporting started under Obama, increasing 500 percent.
    Trump placed high tariffs on solar panels.
    He allows methane leaks from natural gas production.
    He pushes the use of fossil fuels including coal.

    Murray Energy filed for bankruptcy, Peabody Energy Corp. had a 21.7% drop in revenue, Cambrian Coal , Blackjewel LLC, Revelation Energy LLC, Armstrong Energy Inc, Mississippi Minerals, Mission Coal, Westmoreland Coal, Trinity Coal, Piney Woods Resources Inc, Cloud Peak Energy, Blackhawk Mining, all went bankrupt.

    I am proud to be a democrat, @Painted tentoes. And I think that your opinion about corruption is valid. You can add to our conversation. But I don't think that that's accurate at all. We aren't corrupt. And while homelessness is a major problem, I don't think that it's due to corruption in our leadership. Let's look at it for a second.


    You mentioned needles... Substance abuse is one problem. People get "hooked" and the way that they conceive of money changes - I know 'cause I've been there I'm not proud to say. What can we do besides offer addiction treatment? There is a whole lot to that particular issue that I don't really understand. But I think that the politicians here (I'm from California) are aware of the situation. They just don't have necessary money to offer addiction treatment - and like, a bed and board - to make things improved.

    The other problem that stands out is the housing crisis, and that's what I really wanted to talk about. I was just talking to a girl at her job today (I was out shopping...) and she said this one place increased her rent $300. She moved out. Sometimes when that happens the people don't have the wherewithal to put it all back together when it falls apart 'cause of rent. The mentally ill come to mind.

    But my point was going to be about rent control for one, and affordable housing for another. People get all "not in my backyard" about housing projects. That has got to stop! It's like people have no empathy or sympathy or whatever. So compassion is needed too. But the real deal is houses that are affordable. Or some kind of subsidy, but people want to bitch about entitlement spending.

    So what are the other solutions that I'm not seeing? I think that many of the things that I brought to the table here are good viable points. I don't know what else could be done in fact.

    SoulCompromise. I did not mean you personally as corrupt. Just mostin the party you support. You seem to think it’s ok to destroy a person for political gain, such as Cavanagh. But when it’s your people who do the very crime they accuse others of, like Biden he’s on tape doing what they accuse President Trump. Now about abuse. Your right. It’s a problem. But in my day you got arrested for doing drugs and they sure were not throwing needles on the street. But let’s not go with all the arrest maybe after the third time they have to committed into a 12 step program. And sourly did not let people shit all over the streets.my god we are much more civil then that. Now about the homeless problem. We defiantly want to help and assist people in need. But to make away of life off the government or anyone is wrong. People need to live within their means. If you can’t afgord 5 kids stop. Don’t make welfare away of life. But your party is plain corrupt.
