    You do understand that Trump was the one that rejected the deal right?

    Perhaps trump and republicans are more than hypocritical? They turned down a bipartisan deal that included $25 BILLION for trump's vanity wall. trump showed he really wasn't interested in his vanity wall nor border security. He also showed he isn't someone to trust with negotiations...

    Can't believe people are actually talking about "Race Realism" on Clutchfans...or as I like to call it "Real Racism"

    And the usual ignorant talking points like Sickle Cell and there being genetic differences, there are genetic differences between any two groups of people.

    "You can poke holes in the theory, a theory that suggests there's a racial IQ hierarchy...but I'm alright with it."

    Man, people have put way too much stock into memes and blogs, this is why we're sitting here discussing psuedo-science from the early 1900s.

    How dare the Democrats jeopardize the safety of Americans for their 2020 political points?

    Why does this race realism appeal to you?

    How does believing in this help society?

    Don't listen to Democrats calling the wall "a waste of money" or "ineffective". This is all about going against Trump and thwarting his promise to his voter in order to hurt him in 2020. THAT'S ALL IT IS!

    Trump sent troops to avert THAT one... So yea.. WWIII.. Did you notice that he didn't mention the caravans in his speech?

    Next thing you know, he will nuke Nicaragua to solve the issue. You never know with a lose canon ball for a President. Did shut down government for 3 weeks now over it and pushed for nuclear option in the senate.

    Illegal immigration is down significantly. There is no crisis in need of an imminent solution. Congress has power of the purse. We are a country of law and order. Play by the rules and NEGOTIATE in good will instead of being emotionally unstable babies who elected a border-line psycho trust baby, in part, because they got tired of a black man lecturing them and a prospect of a woman being a commander in chief.

    Somebody, please bring back GW Bush - at least he was sane and had a sense not to have his election campaign meet with russians.

    Well, a few thoughts:

    a) truth appeals to me. Even when it is not PC. I'm not going to back away from a thought just because someone does not like the thought. If the thought is shown to be incontrovertibly incorrect, I'll adjust my views.

    b) There's a lot holes you can poke in race realism, notably (as I have heard) WRT native Americans, who apparently test very high in SATs and such, but have (among the) highest levels of alcoholism, unemployment, crime, etc. The answer here is the welfare. That's what really undermines ethnic groups.

    c) I believe in not ripping apart the fabric of society, but not sure how much my internal beliefs pose a danger to same. Truth told (as above), it's the welfare state that's ripping society apart, by funding dysfunctional behavior.
