Credibility, based on what exactly?

All she's done is put a black face on conservative talking points whilst managing to say them with conviction.

Not an ounce of original thought, doesn't advance any coherent arguments to support any of the gibberish she's is spewing and she consistently manages to contradict the positions she is taking.

How could anybody with an ounce of intellectual honesty reconcile calling out Chelsea Handler for questioning her 'blackness' in one train of thought, then belittling Colin Kaepernick's activism by pointing out that he's of mixed race?

She's had impeccable timing seizing the minority vacuum of the Trumptard movement, a credible free thinker she's not.


Anyone that thinks Candace Owens has credibility needs to watch her talk about climate change with Joe Rogan where she literally can't defend her position and resorts to the same right wing talking points. She is painfully stupid. Or watch her appeance on TV with Michael Eric Dyson where she just tells and tried to talk over him for what it seemed is like 5 straight minutes.

She's the perfect example of the right wing feedback loop that has taken over the brain of millions of Americans. Only someone equally as stupid uses Candace Owens as some sort of voice of reason.

Can someone tell me why most right wingers in America believe humans had no impact on climate change? I never understood that.

Well, there was a time when climate change and the environment were bi-partisan issues, all the way up to and including to a degree Ronald Reagan's administration.

Banning CFCs, combatting smog, acid rain, environmental protections like the clean water laws, resource conservation, it wasn't always like this in the USA.

NGOs played a large role in lobbying government to make those gains, but the success of those organizations led to opposition that manifested in aggressive lobbying and anti-environmentalism when their work intersected with the profit motive of big business heading into the 1980s.

Special interests have managed, quite effectively, to influence public opinion by pouring millions upon millions into think tanks that shape public opinion in an effort to undermine scientific consensus and to inoculate politicians from taking positions that are quite clearly not in the interest of their true constituents, the people.

Two reasons. Billionaires like the Koch brothers and oil industry lobbyists have burrowed a hole deep into the right. What happens is that these guys fund think tanks and research that is anti climate science. Then the research is used by talking heads on Fox News and in op eds in right wing news papers. So the right constantly get bombarded with anti science propaganda and it's why it's so ridiculous when you hear the talking points repeated in a setting that isn't the right wing bubble. All of this to keep billionaires rich at the expense of everyone. This is why I laugh when some posters say climate change is just a scan to make money when the opposite is true.

The second reason is that the rights sole reason for existing now seems to be to trigger liberals. So the fact that liberals support efforts to curb climate change is just another reason for them to be against it. I swear if Obama had said that he wants to make it easier for black people to get guns congress would have passed gun control measures an hour later.

the simpler reason having more to do with human nature is the title of Gore's movie.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

I could see a state like MA, but yeah in general it doesn't seem like a good idea.

The opposition is so weak, that Gillum looks to be in good shape in the FL Gov race. However I worry that Hillary's appearance in FL may weaken Nelson some.

It makes perfect sense.


Hillary's a fundraising juggernaut and is still fairly popular among democrats.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.
