  1. The virtuous cycle of positive coverage of her move in the polls is going to catapult her to frontrunner status. She may or may not stay there, but it's going to crush the inevitability of Biden and shake up the race tremendously.
  2. Nice assessment. He needs a little bit of luck. Im a big supporter and still am--though Warren's my number 1--but am more and more wishing he had ran against Cornyn. He could have kept a national profile in that race and stood a chance. Plus his organization would help put Texas in play for Pres. I like MJ a lot but Beto would have been even stronger. I kind of wish Beto would realize where things are and jump to the Senate race. MJ runs for Congress again. How'd he do on Colbert?
  3. Democrats need to start selling their own tax hike as "very profitable."
  4. He's an effective communicator on these issues. That matters. On immigration, he was the rep from one of the largest trans-border communities.
  5. I'm starting to see my politically connected friends start to move towards her, including dropping their shit to go work for her campaign. People that did not plan on working for a candidate this cycle. She's going to make a good run at it. I wish she had run in 2016. My dream ticket is still Warren-Beto. Warren capturing the economic populism, Beto pushing a return to morality with social justice issues like civil rights and the immigration cruelty. It would be a compelling ticket.
  6. Wow. A word salad is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases",[1] most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them. Word salad may describe a symptom of neurological or psychiatric conditions in which a person attempts to communicate an idea, but words and phrases that may appear to be random and unrelated come out in an incoherent sequence instead. Often, the person is unaware that he or she did not make sense. It appears in people with dementia and schizophrenia,[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_salad
  7. Yeah. The cameras weren't racist enough in their dispensing of law and order. Can't have that. Just give the technology a few years to identify the whities better and they'll be all for it.
  8. Have you tried meth? I hear it helps.
  9. Nah. It's more like I wasn't a racist but now I am cause dudes are shooting up elementary schools, rock concerts and work places almost daily. I fully admit to being anti-gun. More guns is like responding to the opioid crisis with more opioids cause some people need them for pain and don't get addicted. Apparently we're doing some of that too with a recently approved new opioid. That's the worst part. People are getting rich off these deaths and use a misinterpreted second amendment and morons like you to avoid moral responsibility.
  10. No democratic voter gives a shit and the Republicans that do would never vote for a democrat anyway.
  11. Yes, they do. Guns are the but-for cause of this shit. There are a number of studies that show this. I posted one a second ago. We need fewer guns. People should be able to own a gun with a permit for hunting and that's it. I say this as someone who grew up with guns and hunting, but this shit isn't worth it. We do not need guns.
  12. nah, I think we should just pass a 28th amendment making it clear that you have a right to not be randomly shot in public because other people want to go blast an assault rifle at the gun range in weekends. For the most part, we do not need guns. It is is a societal negative. Repeal the 2nd amendment if you have to but you don't have to.
  13. You change behavior by criminalizing possession. By banning guns you send a clear message to society that guns are not okay. You take the shit off the streets. Boycott stores that sell them. Make it a faux pas to own a gun. This isn't going to stop until we push back against the gun culture and significantly reduce the number of guns.
  14. Democrats need to cut all the bullshit and half measures like background checks, and take some leadership in recognizing we have a gun problem. Too many guns, too much gun culture, too many idiots with guns, too many bullets and too many gun deaths. It's not that hard: CONCLUSION: The number of guns per capita per country was a strong and independent predictor of firearm-related death in a given country, whereas the predictive power of the mental illness burden was of borderline significance in a multivariable model. Regardless of exact cause and effect, however, the current study debunks the widely quoted hypothesis that guns make a nation safer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24054955. And call bullshit on the second amendment arguments too. The constitution is not a suicide pact and every constitutional right must be balanced against other rights, like being able to go out in public without getting fucking killed. Heller is narrow, and I'm not sure this Supreme Court would extend it. More important than the direct effect of any gun legislation, passing serious gun-control laws would send a clear message against the moronic gun culture: This is not okay. And to the gun manufacturers profiting off this shit.
  15. America's going to end up just like one of Trump's businesses. MAGAfucks will think this is a good thing. It's not.
  16. That's a Russian propagandist tweeting there. Just saying. Also, most everyone position is "Guaido is the legitimate presidency. You're not a very good troll.
  17. What are you talking about? If he gives an honest summary of the report or instructs Mueller to do what he just did, impeachment proceedings would be well on their way right now.
  18. It's going to be awesome when Trumpers go from "greatest economy evar!" cause of our dear leader in describing continuation of Obama-era trends to somehow blaming Obama for the recession. $2 trillion deficits here we come. Glad we got those tax cuts in.
  19. Mueller found multiple impeachable offenses. Now you get impeached. It's not hard. Democrats and fucking Pelosi need to stop fucking around.
  20. http://time.com/4546942/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-lead-poll/
  21. Yeah. I see Biden as one of the least electable. His many vulnerabilities and campaigning weaknesses drastically outweigh his moderate appeal upside. He would be Hilary 2.0 and if economy stays the current course and public opinion doesn't shift dramatically on the Mueller conduct and other Trump corruption, would give us Trump 2.0.
  22. Just watched the final episode. My take on the last few seasons: All the pieces were there and it could have been great but they fucked it up. Most annoying in the final episode was basically tearing down the fourth wall in the final cabinet scene. Felt like a internet joke. I kept expecting Elmo to pop up. Glad it's over.
  23. So then a complete dumbass in all things is always right? MAGA!
  24. Yep, Democrats refusal to do their constitutional duty is putting party over country too.
  25. Yes, the focus seems to be on expansion. Hopefully they do it without fucking things up. I'd kill for Whataburger here in Nothern Virginia.
