How is saying a team should all speak the same language racist?  Because the assumed language would be English?  Is there an expectation that the rest of the team is supposed to learn Spanish instead of him learning English?  Isn't that a double standard?

See what contortions you have to go through to get this to be racist? The assumptions?  It basically means since this country is virtually completely an English speaking  nation, that means we're racist period.  Because English white people are evil compared to brown or Spanish or any other people on the planet.

That's the underlying sentiment.

There are jobs available.   The problem is we've made welfare competitive with holding a job, so when given the choice of working a job and earning money or sitting in front of a TV collecting welfare, guess which is more popular?

 Make no mistake, the jobs are out there.

That is a very true point. 

Edit to add a thought. I think we're both right and it depends on demographics and location, etc. There are jobs in certain places for certain people but I've read a lot about particularly the inner city what we used to call "slums" which I'm sure is not politically correct any more. Whatever they are.  The enterprising intelligent blacks left when we desegregated and they were the ones providing jobs to the stupider ones. The stupider less motivated ones are the ancestors of what is there today. There is no job and the person is on the lower end of the IQ scale anyway, so naturally they are motivated to make money selling drugs. Or collect welfare.

But I didn't look at which counties the article refers to so don't know if that's applicable in that case. The black inner city populations may be a special case.

If there are no jobs how can you expect these people to be working?  I guess that's why they can be in an approved training program, but can they stay in a training program or when they finish the course are they back to square one with no job?

I favor this sort of thing in theory, when there is a healthy economy and plenty of jobs available and light regulation where you can easily open a small business. A portion of entitlement recipients are lazy and won't work if given the opportunity and that's where you need this, but I think there are many who would prefer a good well paying job.

The left (and sometimes the right) has brought this situation to us by killing the economy and the job market through various means and then pushing entitlement and welfare programs. They also have made it very difficult to work if you are an ex-con.  Government caused problems and bad government solutions combined are turning the country into a welfare state with fewer taxpayers supporting jobless massess.

Her name is "Reality"?    Really??    WTF?

That was an autocorrect. Her name is Reezlie apparently. Which is pretty pathetic editing for a journalism article. I guess, that's what I can figure...

Yeah I don't know what the problem is with those people over at PoA who cannot abide spin zone. They couldn't even live with it in a hidden sandbox, they had to ban it altogether.

I was not going to jump in the middle of y'all's insult fest just in case you are the same person with two different accounts. I used to do that in World of Warcraft; had two accounts with a character in each faction (enemies), log them in together and have them insult each other and start a fight. See how many others I could draw into it. 

I only do that in games though. Some people do it in real life, I guess like with CNN and their fake Muslim protesters.  I don't cotton to that kind of deception in real life. Sure is fun in games though.

Yes, that would be "links".

Suppose the individuals at the IRS did something which causes the information to not be shared and that non-sharing was heavily slanted toward one party?  I work in IT, I know it can be done and even with plausible deniability.  We have seen the IRS target one party for special treatment.  Putting a propensity to target a political party with a denial of voting rights together is chilling.

Yes, exactly this is happening, or could be.  The federal government already mandates that voter registration be offered at motor vehicle agencies.  I moved to Texas last spring.  When I went to the motor vehicle department to get my driver's license they offered to register me to vote. I said yes and filled out the form or whatever.  Toward the end of October I realized that I had never received my voter card. So I called the elections office and found out that no, I had never been registered. The lady told me that it was a problem, I'm not the only one they fail to send over. She was not complimentary about the staff at the local MVD.

I got my card just a few days before voting for Trump.  Might the staff at the DMV deliberately be failing to send some registrations over? Here in rural south Texas there are basically two types of people.  Tall cowboy-like white type people, and short Hispanic type people.  Voting generally splits along that demographic.  So even though we don't register a party, if a MVD staffer wanted to skew the election, they could fail to send in those applicants of one or the other appearance, and achieve a statistical advantage if those people ended up not voting on election day.

The staffer was Hispanic but I got a good feeling from her and do not believe she deliberately "lost" my application.  But it made me realize how easily that sort of thing can be done.

So what the Federal government did by mandating DMVs offer voter registration is to add an extra layer between the voter and the elections office, another link that can be broken. It is part of the reason registration is a mess. One more example of the feds interfering in something the states do, then claiming the states are making a mess and they need to come in and "fix" it.

Yeah, Scott  Adams nailed it.  Personally, I thought nothing about this, and didn't think anything about the Obama Cowboy Clown either.  Everyone has a different sense of humor and neither are my thing so I really didn't care.

Put me in the group of people who thinks Trump is an embarrassment to our country, and to his credit I'm sure he never thought he'd be elected, which is why he acted so crazy during the election.  I just thought he'd mature afterward but it hasn't happened.  Like Adams said, I don't understand how others don't see what I'm seeing.

Exactly, you're watching the movie that is telling you things that for example are making you believe he never thought he'd win so that's why he acted so crazy.  The other movie going on portrays it totally differently.  He executed a very shrewd campaign and his craziness was calculated. In fact you can find it in his book "Art of the Deal".  He talks about starting negotiations at an extreme point, then bringing it down to a moderate point where you close.  He saw the election as negotiating a "deal".  His craziness was extreme rhetoric aimed at certain voters that he knew would respond to it.  Now that he's elected, he has been moderating a lot of his promises, which he has to do in order to get them passed. He was very aware exactly what he was doing all along.

Speaking of the other movie, I understand it made a huge deal of him returning from overseas tired, angry, having gained weight, etc.  I thought.... so he had jet lag and was exhausted. SO WHAT?  How is that even a story?

If that's the kind of crap you're being fed by your news sources, no wonder you don't like him. You're getting a very skewed picture of him. Maybe I'm getting a skewed picture in the other direction, but my point is how very different they are. It's hard to believe the news is talking about the same human being.
