I also subscribe to Barron’s and read the Wall Street Journal. You might be shocked…but mostly? The fucking SDMB. Which, ironically, is why liberals piss me off. You’ll be pissed…but to be honest…the SDMB is probably a big factor in why I voted for Trump. I watch the nightly news (half hour), local news (another half hour), a random FOX news program and/or MSn/CNN…and whatever “news” pops up at the top of my internet thingy when I get online… ---

Personally, I’d go with the sex rather than listening to the National Anthem; but how you spend your own time is up to you. ---

If I remember correctly, you’re an older dude. If so, then here’s my question: In the 1960s, what was your opinion of MLK Jr. and the Civil Rights movement? I’m not asking about your opinion now, but what your opinion was at the time, as well as the opinions of friends and family around you. Whatever your answer, did your opinion of the movement change at all, and if so, how and when and why? Did you take part in the movement for Civil Rights in any way? ---

For the most part? The Civil rights movement is/was the bomb (no movement is perfect). I think it was a shame MLK died. But not just because a good man died. But that the movement got hijacked by IMO a bunch of race baiting retards. ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > Apparently “migration” is down something like 70 percent this year…so yeah the Big Cheeto is a mexican repellent all on his own. Do you believe that the USA’s wholehearted embrace of a person whose WWE track record is more impressive than his political record will drive intelligent, well-educated migrants to seek out other countries to call home, or not migrate at all? If so, do you consider this a bad thing? Also, are you aware of the dropping birth rate in Latin America, and the steady downward shift in illegal immigration under Obama? Also, are you aware that essentially the entire rest of the world would be laughing at you if we weren’t terrified that you’re going to start a nuclear war and ruin the environment for the rest of us?
