Did you read the article? She literally said nothing about genetics and used statistics as her basis. Right or wrong, I hope you don’t teach math.

If her son was raised by her why would he be statistically more likely to commit a crime than her other children? Cmon man. Also I thought racial profiling by police was a myth?

That’s not exactly what she’s saying,, but I misread it last night and I agree it’s a dumbass comment. She’s basically advocating racial profiling innocent people.

"Cmon man"
Did you get that from Joe Biden?
I'm not so sure that any president can have such a direct pipeline of control or that we should be asking for one to be put in place. Wouldn't that immediately start oozing into other areas and be taken advantage of? Not just by Trump but any future president?
Trump is gonna get 15% of the black vote and will crush the dems

He's going to need 20% just to offset the working class white males and suburban white women he's lost.
This election is going to be about turnout. That's why the Dems are pounding the table about universal mail-in voting, because they know actually having to request a ballot is going to "suppress" their vote.
Is anybody else tired of the line "this will be a historical election with record turnout" ?
They (media) have been saying this since Bill Clinton first ran for the presidency.

Agreed. Every election is "the most important election in our lifetimes - the country's future is at stake."

Repubs used that in 2010 to take back the House (and, in hindsight, that election really might have been huge).
Trump used it in 2016 to win the White House
Dems used it in 2018 (with a little help from Mueller) to take back the House.
I had to edit this for 2010...The Dems had thought they had a permanent super majority. If Repubs hadn't taken the House, who knows what the emerging regressives would have done. IMO, that WAS the most important election we've had in 30 years. Not trying to start a debate on FDR and the "New Deal", but Part Deuce is the road we would have gone down if Repubs didn't take the House in 2010.
Norwegian official nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Just weeks after helping to broker peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), President Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, lauded Trump for his efforts toward resolving protracted conflicts worldwide.
Refreshing: A prez who actually deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nothing demonstrates peace like Trump. 🙄
Remember when everyone said Trump is a crazed maniac and we will be in WWIII right after the election ........ or has everyone conveniently forgotten their foolish and hysterical statements?
Now, being peaceful with domestic terrorists is probably not going to last much longer; I give it another 55 days.
You mean statements like we’ll never survive the Obama regime and radical left?

You do realize what he has done around the world, especially in the Middle East?

He's has ramped up the number of drone strikes overseas, and made reporting of civilian casualties less transparent. So there's that.
