RLLD

No, he might be a libertarian, but more likely he is one of those fiscal conservative and liberal socially people who just declares themselves libertarian. I dont really know what is is per se....he seems to have at one time been at least a little more Democrat than anything else, but realized what they are really all about and moved away from them. Ahhh, you are a fan of Ayn Rand! i did read Atlas Shrugged! Are you one of those people who believes part of the reason she changed her name later was to hide her usage of social programs, or do you think that is all much ado about nothing? Just curious really.....

Well, I have not detected them using those terms in the manner you are ascribing I did read an article where they highlighted opposition to it, and ignored support....so there is that...

In what way, did they "accept" the renaming?

The last thing Palestinians, and Iranians, want....is a cease fire. Any prospect of a peace will be met with violence from Muslims.

They oppose Trump on anything, without real consideration for the impacts. In this instance, they strayed from their rather consistent stance on renaming.....and then pretended it was "different" with a rather weak excuse, which I will not accept.

They simply oppose Trump, and they hold far left views that are sometimes even racist. I have always liked the AP, but in recent years they have fallen down rather abruptly in their journalistic integrity. But to be fair, there are far worse, like the liars at MSDNC by way of example.

Nope, its further proof of their bias. Not the first instance either.

I want to know what Barbara Jordan thinks about all this.

No, I am being consistent. I am not accepting the pretense of the nuance which the AP is proposing to hide their hypocrisy.

I understand what you are saying, I really do....I just dont accept the excuse.....thats all.

Irony

They are equal. Further, I am being consistent here. I note that when just about anyone else(other than Trump) want to change a name, its all good. From Forts...to schools...to cities in Ukraine.....but once Trump does something, the immediate move is to oppose it without thought....hence the emergence of these easily shown hypocrisy from a legacy media that has sold its soul to a political side of the isle.

Misplaced sense of entitlement is a rather American thing.....more prominent among liberals to be sure, but really across the board.

I do not accept the AP's explanation for its disparity in application of its "values". They are gaslighting.....

It was....only the amount is really different. Trump did not create that plan, he pulled it up and changed it a little....this is not unknown. This thing has been around for decades. Trump cannot take credit for it......

Of course I am. In each instance you have a government decide to change the name, pretending they are different us letting the outlet off the hook. What if....the AP.....decided it would say.....capitalize the usage of "White People" in its reporting.....and only use lower case for "black people".....I think you and I could agree that we would be in opposition to that, right?

This is one example. I am confident that they could likely chase down more. They might not be able to get Schumer or Pelosi.....those two pit vipers are way too well schooled in the DC corruption game.

There is no reason to misrepresent what I said. Trumps gold card thing will replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program established in 1990 which granted green cards to foreign investors who invested a minimum of $1.05 million in U.S. businesses and created or preserved at least 10 full-time jobs. The new gold card program requires a $5 million investment from wealthy foreigners, providing them with permanent residency and a pathway to U.S. citizenship. Unlike the EB-5 program, the gold card initiative eliminates the job creation requirement, focusing instead on attracting affluent individuals to boost economic growth and reduce the national debt. So again....I will restate mt original point.....in the hopes that your reading comprehension is up to the task.... They did have a similar policy/plan in place. This is not something Trump created, he just took when they put in place and is trying to make it a revenue generator.

Perhaps you and I agree here, that opposing simply to oppose is not serving the american people, and is potentially waste/fraud/abuse.....regardless as to who is doing it.

They did not. They did have a similar policy/plan in place. This is not something Trump created, he just took when they put in place and is trying to make it a revenue generator. I like the idea in principle, but I am apprehensive about the government handling this.....the government suck at pretty much everything it does.... so I am going to wait and see just what happens here.

I hope on this point you are incorrect.....and politicians are not behaving like middle school kids at the lunch table, but are actually standing firm on their values..... I cannot discount what you are posting here, but I really hope they are better than this. I think this is all a missed opportunity. If they really want to position for something positive in the mid terms, which is what they should be doing, they should instead collaborate with Trump on the areas where they at least partially agree. Right now this scorched earth thing they have going on is not a winning strategy. JMHO

If a tree falls in the woods....and no one is there to hear it.....

I think there is merit to this assertion. And to be fair we have observed Republicans migrate over toward the Democrat side of thinking, and vice versa. So there is perhaps an ongoing realignment with people relocating to teams where they better fit. That being said, with Trump we have him regurgitating Democrat ideas from the past, but now these people pretend those ideas are somehow bad.....is it because Trump is saying them?
