Any outrage left to you for opining on Needy Amin's tweet that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts"? Do you think that legitimizes or incites violence by the police? If not, why not?

She has a degree in international relations and economics from Boston University Lara.

She pulled herself up by her bootstraps and did it all herself. Isn’t that what repukes say one should be self sufficient?

And how seeing Apartheid close up made her value all humans equally. Whatever happened to her must have happened after she came to the US. It has nothing to do with her being from South Africa. Perhaps her South African self would be as appalled by what she is now as we are.

60 Minutes also serves the Republican Party and those they serve, just with a faux-respectable cover, so no really big surprise that she could have come to this from that.

As ex- Repub insider David Frum warned some time ago, the battle for power is enormous.

As we might have figured out from various little clues, like, for instance, both the Director of the FBI and the Assistant Director of the FBI committing career suicide to keep Democrats from getting control of the WH and senate, AND very possibly the house, in 2016.
