^ A perfect example of how Republican presidential debates work.

An example of political "discourse" today.  Not only is Hasan not a Rep, a meaningless pointing out if non constructive bickering in a non constructive manner.   You're hella better than that.

It's an example of how to respond to somebody who's trying to troll you.

It's called free speech

Ok? So that means you can be a d*** to people who had nothing to do with it?

As opposed to name calling ( using the d word) 

Being politically correct is not always conducive to a debate.  As a matter of fact I believe that is why Trump is succeeding

Some people say Trump is creating a new iteration of racism; I believe he is simply exposing what was already there, what has always been there, what has been waiting for top-down permission to live in the wide open.

No matter what happens these next six months then the four-year term after, WE STILL DO THE WORK, good friends. We love, we include, we protect, we intervene, we defend, we champion. Honestly? Anything done in love on these terms has never advanced from the top down. Ever. It has always and will always come from the bottom up. It exists in neighborhoods and around dinner tables, in sanctuaries and in safe spaces. It will not be mastered by cruel leadership, it will not be silenced by fear-mongering.

It lives and breathes through ordinary people loving in brave, ordinary ways. It lives when we stand up and say NO. When we choose courage over silence. When we open our arms and open our homes to people we are led to fear.

No one can take this work from us. No one can do this work for us. It is ours. If we are facing a day in which minorities, women, refugees, Muslims, immigrants, and vulnerable people are openly vilified and threatened, then we roll up our sleeves and stand by them in strength and courage. We use the good voices we've been given and demonstrate an army of love.

This has always been our task, and now we simply engage with renewed commitment.

It's called making a joke. I like Hasan. I thought his posts were funny.

Drink some coffee, Phatmass. I know you gave it up for Lent, but you've reached the critical zone.
