The biggest advantage is having parents who were married before you were conceived and who stayed married at least through your late teens. Add in a father who was consistently employed - at any job, and the chances of growing up in poverty drops to single digits for white and black folk alike.

I don't get that cranked up. Political parties, like any other type of organization, commercial or (ostensibly) non-profit, are subject to the same life cycles.

In the private sphere, aging, late stage monolithic companies become prime acquisition targets. Whether their products, customers, regions, etc are re-aligned and/or re-purposed, many/most times the franchise value provides a ready marketing & distribution network.

Look at what Trump did taking over the GOP. It was so much more practical - and economical - for him to just execute a hostile takeover rather than attempt to build something from scratch. Well, so too the DNC. They've gone so crazy, what with planned murderhood and the ilk, that a Democrat style Trump is waiting, somewhere out there in the wings, to swoop in and grab the prize.

And what will nuts like big lungs OC do about it? Well, she and her cis sisterhood (yes, I did assume her gender) will react no differently than the GOPe when Trump seized control. That is, freak out, act out, and eventually leave the party. BFD.

Obama is by far the most enigmatic liar to achieve the highest-office in the world, IMHO.

The United States has not been the same since he showed up.

What you are seeing today, and ALL during his “reign” are very bad omens.

But, that’s JMHO. YMMV

If the Rapture doesn’t happen soon, and I mean very soon, then we are headed toward massive civil unrest and a lot of bloodshed.

I agree, brother. Though that is likely the result immediately afterwards.

And this kind of insanity is world-wide. It’s definitely not just in America (as I should have pointed out).

Just think, I almost went to BU. I stayed home instead.

Lucky you! Boston University is a terrible school. Ocasio-Cortez level thinking is what students learn there, and of course the need to put the word "like" in every sentence.

1st Thessalonians 5:3 King James Version (KJV)

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Every time she opens her huge mouth, she creates more fodder for our side.
