"I'm going to take the next year off," Lawrence outlined. "I'm going to be working with this organization as a part of (anti-corruption organization) Represent.US... trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level. "It doesn't have anything to do with partisan (politics). It's just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state by state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy.”... "I stand in solidarity for Women's rights, Equal pay, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program)," she captioned the picture, in which she's holding a sign that reads: "A woman's place is in the revolution."

Oh, good, we’re saved. But America needs lots and lots of saving, so make that a couple of years, won’t you? Twenty or so should suffice. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

Potato Potahto.

It's much more than the way a word is pronounced.
That you don't understand that is a real shame.

The point is, we do not live in a democracy as so many like to keep repeating.
The point is, when you don't describe our form of government correctly you're doing as much disservice to the nation as those you decry of calling America a democracy.

Funny how that 'non-partisan" stuff sounds just like the Democrat Party talking points.

I don’t see the Constitution governing much or even anything.
Really?!

It seems to me that most or all of our governance comes from our representatives, and if not them, then unelected federal “presidents” in black robes.

Riddle me this...wherein is said representation laid out? From whence does it emanate?

+1

[jimbug]

Will anyone even notice?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Holy crap. That you don't understand what I posted is also shameful. I DO understand the distinction between the two and told you as much and agreed with you. Why are you busting my balls?

Rhetorical question. I really don't care to know.

[rrrod]

She’s an actress Jim...

[philman_36]

I DO understand the distinction between the two and told you as much and agreed with you.
Not that I've seen. Your "Potato Potahto." comment indicates that you equate the two to be the same thing when they're not.

Why are you busting my balls?
The answer to your query is in reply 82.

Perhaps we should care less about who we may offend and care more about who we may inspire.

Like you I'm trying to inspire, not offend.

May have started that way, but we’re drifting rapidly towards mob rule or worse.

Things have changed, and not for the better.

If only the Hollywood crowd had enough IQ to see how much of their stupidity they telegraph when they aren’t reading lines written by smarter folks.

So now you're admitting that America's form of government is a Constitutional Republic and is not a Representative Republic? Interesting.

Things have changed, and not for the better.

Many things have changed in the last 200+ years, but our form of government hasn't changed since 1788.

BTW, I love how you deferred from answering my questions and posted this tripe instead.

[chris37]

Maybe in theory, but not in practice.

You can call my post whatever you want, it doesn’t make any difference.

[philman_36]

Maybe in theory, but not in practice.

Nevertheless, America's form of government is a Constitutional Republic, isn't it?

[gogeo]

Fix a democracy?

I suspect she doesn't know how to fix a sammich.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

She could probably be a community organizer working out of a strip bar.

Bingo

I m a pain in the a$$ and no one will hire me !

[Secret Agent Man]

Too many jokes flooding me at the moment...can’t...respond....

[Secret Agent Man]

I wonder if she downloaded her leaked selfies. /narcissism /vanity

[ro_dreaming]

Oh, I’d say that’s highly debatable.
What is “that’s”?

That’s = that is.
As in “Oh, I’d say that is highly debatable.
