There's this immigrant high school student around my way who is anti immigration and hardcor conservative. Dude's face might be more punchable than Ted Cruz's.
 
Goldwater set the stage for Reagan and his two landslide victories. Hopefully the Don has the same fortune.

Question for the Americans in here. In the Netherlands, an extreme-right racist politician is currently on trial for inciting hatred/racism, hate speech and inciting discrimination. He was sued for stating "Do you want less Moroccans in this city? Let's make that happen" during a speech.

A right-wing politician in my own country is also being sued for inciting racism. The cause for his lawsuit was stating on national television that racism is a consequence and not the cause of problems in Belgium. He followed up said statement with saying certain groups in society (Moroccans in particular) have a lazy attitude and exploit welfare or resort to crime.

Does the law allow such lawsuits in the US? I'm assuming no since Trump hasn't been sued for his actions as far as I know.

To my knowledge lawsuits like the ones I mentioned above are only applied to politicians or other highly influencial roles in society. Some politicians have successfully been indicted on those charges before.

That'll never happen here unfortunately.
 
I think the U.S. almost always errs on the side of free speech, and the definition under which someone can be prosecuted for hate speech is as a result fairly narrow.

That said, under the right conditions and with a good lawyer and with public perception on your side, if there is a heinous hate crime committed that can be directly linked to something a politician said, I could see the politician at the very least being sued.

You get back at those politicians by voting them out of office and shaming them publicly. There will not be successful lawsuits against politicians for saying racist or bigoted things and there shouldn't be unless you are literaly telling people to commit murder. It's too subjective and a very slippery slope.
 
If that happened in America, I bet you it would be a black politician talking about white supremacy and white privilege getting sued for being racist.

Exactly, other than free speech, racism and bigotry are the threads that have sewn this country together. It's so heavily ingrained and often denied that nothing will happen. The denial is where the argument of free speech is heavily argued. They want free speech and freedom from consequence.
 
Clinton [Dem]
Trump [GOP]
Ryan [Real GOP]

It's coming, though if Trump is pushed out of the GOP, he'll be the most successful third party candidate since Roosevelt. As is stands, the GOP would lose to Hillary, than win with Trump as a Republican. What's funny is that if Trump is first on the ballot and he gets no airtime. :x :lol
 
Pretty proud of my state right now. :hat

And Oregon already gets 40 percent of its electricity from carbon-free hydro, so this would put its total carbon-free power share at 90 percent by 2040. Not bad, Beaver State.

http://www.oregonlive.com/marijuana/index.ssf/2016/03/first_month_of_taxed_recreatio.html

Oregon collected $3.48 million in taxes from recreational marijuana sales in January, far outpacing estimates and offering the first look at how much pot is moving through the state's newly regulated retail market.

The answer: a lot.

Oregon dispensaries sold at least $14 million worth of recreational marijuana in January alone. That figure doesn't take into account medical marijuana sales, which remain untaxed.

The collections for a single month exceed state economists' projections for the entire year. Officials expected between $2 million to $3 million after the state paid for the costs associated with regulation.
