Here, Tell These People Something They Don't Know About Me

I've learned that although the Legacy Media wants everyone to hear their stories that they apparently never heard the story told by Uncle Remus about Br'er Rabbit, Mr.Fox, and the Tar Baby.

Yes'uh. That Rabbit sure suckered Mr. Fox and the old GOP Guard was indistinguishable from the Leftist Legacy Media when it came time for them to tag/team playing the role of Mr. Fox to Trump's Br'er Rabbit.
Yup.

This graph is not valid if it includes income from assets. I suspect it does as the fluctuation in the one percent seems to correlate with the ups and downs of the stock market.

Comparing earned income I suspect the lines are much closer together.

Of course people who have more assets - the top one percent obviously having more than those in the lower levels derive more of their total income from their assets and in a market where stocks, bonds and housing have all done well - better than earned income growth rates - those with more assets are seeing higher total income growth.

Let's check this graph after the crash.

The above is not to say that there is an issue with lower income growth rates for those earning lower incomes. There is. Those workers whose tasks can be exported to other juristictions or filled using robots and other technology - both skilled and unskilled workers - are not doing well.

But don't blame the one percent for that circumstance.

By all means let's have a discussion about cronyism and bad social policy - read minimum wage hikes and immigration - but let's have it using proper data.

it is time for a "means" test for voters, and give their vote "weight"

In order to have fair elections we need a fair and totally unbiased media that just reports the facts. That means the media needs to stop headlining opinions as if they are facts. They need to stop doing what our media has been doing, they are a classic example of media interfering with our democratic process. It's to be noted how changed all political reporting is since the media's choice won the election. Trideau is Mr Perfect.

"In order to have fair elections we need a fair and totally unbiased media that just reports the facts."

No. That's wishful thinking. What would be nice is a media that spans the political spectrum rather than hugging to the centre-left.

When I lived in the UK, I could pick up four newspapers on any given day: The Telegraph (right), The Times (centre right), The Independent (centre left) and The Guardian (left).

If I cared to work my way through these four, I'd have a fairly well balanced perspective on the issues of the day.

What I learned is what a bunch of disgusting dirt bags the GOP and the so-called conservative media and most of the conservative blogs are. They are nothing more than "bought and paid for" useful idiots for the New World Order Neo-Con fascists just like that Clinton skunk.

What have the GOP conservative Elites learned? Well, yes, should be all of those things but will simply default to Trumpderangedsyndrome because of huge chip on shoulder thing.
Hill lied about her national security lapses - yes yes but Trump has funny hair, ya see. Hill destroyed her Husbands victims - yes yes but Trump isn't politically correct. Hill clearly lied to Benghazi victims' families (the video the video!!) - yes yes but Trump shouldn't point out that terrorist are a huge problem because, well, because it makes the religious conservative Elites look stoopid. There, that argument makes sense because we have to just find a way to keep the cozy Ruling Class game going. You know, the one where political party Elites pretend they are fighting each other but are in cahoots against the masses. Witness Jeb for Hill, Koch for Ryan, bitter McCain, twisting John Batchelor Show.
Am I wrong??

"Our base doesn’t mind fighting for a cause, but if we're not as dedicated as they are, if we can't even commit to win when they commit to doing the dying,"

The Truman doctrine demands only containment...The Wars fought since WWII were designed for a "Stalemate"... Who the hell wants to die for a Stalemate. The bastards in Congress know they betrayed the Military in Korea (Truman), Vietnam (LBJ), & the ME (Obama)... They are not fighting to Win because they don't want to Win... The rules of engagement are the proof of treason...

JMHO

Well what this pickle head forgets is affirmative action the openly rejects more skilled intelligent whites in their field because of the color of their skin, ect ect....so throw that in with black lives matter ,and the anti white anti christian anti western rhetoric spewing from all forms of media .....and voi la...introducing trump if he wins which he wont ...massive voter fraud and it just wont happen Hillary is bought and paid for by the Saudis they will pump millions and millions into every single democrat constituency in the USA every single candidate will out fund raise every republican and install their president to her rightful place or should i say attach the strings to their rightful doll.

Ol' Benjy Boxer seems to be living in la-la land - he has figured out that Trump has support, dug up some graphs, and now figures he knows why.

He thinks that illegal immigrants are in insignificant numbers. He likes PEW - so another Pew finding:

Did you notice that 3.5% of the nation’s population are illegal? Did you notice that they make up 5.1% of the labor force (either working or looking for for work)?

How does that happen?

Benjy has some of the information in front of him, didn't dig deep enough, saw what he wanted to see in the graphs, and figured that's why Trump had support. The knob also came to the conclusion Clinton was on the right track. Just another self defined elitist with absolutely no understanding of neither numbers or people.

Where do you get the idea that the Americans "gave Russia peace" in WWI? Russia had already lost the war by the time the Americans entered, and were out of the war completely before the Americans could participate. And they got defeat, rather than peace, though of course the one often follows the other.
