Common ground? I suppose we all agree that as citizens of the US, individual rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness must always be preserved. Beyond that, maybe(?) we can agree that the collective welfare of our fellow citizens increases our chances of attaining that happiness. To what...

I would hope that a buyer of a Neutra house in LA might be more enlightened. There are plenty of huge places with 6 car garages and 7 bathrooms for the others. I bet it will sell, maybe even above the asking price.

The photos that I have seen show vintage Josef Hoffman "Fledermaus" chairs (designed for the Cafe Fledermaus in Vienna, shown here in white circa 1907): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Cabaret_Fledermaus_Vorraum_um_1907.jpg/440px-Cabaret_Fledermaus_Vorraum_um_1907...

Which historians think the Civil War was avoidable, and/or believe that Andrew Jackson, who was notoriously hot-headed and stubborn would have been the President to prevent it? Because this is exactly Trump's latest outrageous claim.

"Embrace and release" is a new variation, at least for me.

Perfect summary of the faux populism.

A nice May Day reminder to any worker who still might believe that this con artist has his best interests at heart.

1962

3 Bedrooms

Baths:
1 - full Bath
1 - 3/4 Bath

One bath has a shower, and the other a shower and tub. Isn't that enough?

That is classic pivoting. The question is, what should we respect about Jackson's character and presidency, and more importantly, what was his unique perspective on the issue of slavery that would have stopped the Civil War, as Trump claims. Or does Trump not know what the Civil War was about? Jacks...

The comments were made yesterday during an interview, not at the plantation house, came out of the blue, and had absolutely nothing to do with Jackson's birthday, at least in anyone else's mind but Trump's. (Jackson's birthday was March 15th, a month and a half ago...) Ask some black people and Nati...

There's no reason to bring up Andrew Jackson at all. Trump chooses him, with the implication that Lincoln was responsible for the war that Jackson, a slaveowning, Indian murderer from Tennessee, later a confedearate state, in his infinite wisdom would have prevented. This is clearly ignorance, or a ...

Idiot In chief asks why there was a civil war while praising slaveholder Andrew Jackson, claiming he would have fixed it. All this coming down on International Workers' Day?

Pathetic..
