Not being able to access more than simply the 1st page of that paper, so this is likely answered, but WTF are these Dr's smoking? (This certainly won't be the right answer because how can somebody's perceptions be incorrect ) but how about rather than wanting to permanently incapacitate these people they discuss in the paper, they actually treat their mental illnesses successfully enough that the patients don't want to be crippled?

But the smugness is worth every cent to many.

Must be "fake news." Everybody KNOWS that 45 & his administration luvs them some white supremacists. Couldn't possibly be true.

Considering that even ABC and CNN were saying the hearings did not go well for the Impeach Trump crowd, it would appear that Nadler was correct and the hearings were an inflection point. Pretty sure though, he won't like the new direction of events should he be correct that an inflection point was reached.

About time. Sincerely hope that they don't just go after D's that are dirty, but not expecting much on that front. No way were there only 40 or so dirty R's down in the swamp.

IF they truly believe he committed high crimes and misdemeanors then they have a duty to the country to impeach him. If they truly believe he is in Putin's back pocket, they owe it to us to stop him by legal means. But, they aren't going to do so. So, are they full of Schiff or are they in Putin's back pocket as well?

Yep. Also, if he were colluding with Russia wouldn't it make sense that at least 1 other person that wasn't President, and thus indictable, would have been colluding with him? So, where are those indictments? Yep. At a minimum he should've been able to recommend impeachment hearings had he found evidence of conspiring with the Russian govenment.

Does Australia have an equivalent of SouthWest Airlines? 'Cause that driver would be perfect for the "wanna get away" commercials.

Thought those were usually called AK-47's by his ilk. ?

Little doubt of that. But really didn't expect 44 to have a Super Majority (short lived as it was). So, would prefer to not see what sort of damage they could work with Pelosi & Shummer not what Executive Orders either would come up with.

Really believe that changes above represent the progressive politicians' views. Should they get their Christmas list ever enacted, this country doesn't exist as we know it. Don't expect they ever will get it, but they only don't by us staying vigilant. Do not believe that is how the rank and file think of it. Your original paragraph is spot on towards their views IMHO. And really believe that the rank and file see these as good things as they don't see all the other changes that need to happen to allow all that laundry list come to pass. And that is frustrating. Agree with your 2nd paragraph.

You know what kind of a person makes a blanket condemnation of half the country as being racist simply because they hold a different view than themself? Yep. A racist. Here's your tag. Wear it with pride.

To the 1st bolded, at least 2 of "the squad" and likely 3-4 of them reference fairly often a pride in their heritage. They ALL like to decry the direction 45 is trying to take the country. (It's politics; that's what Congress Critters do when the President doesn't have their letter after his name.) He said, quite ineloquently, the countries (territory in AOC's case) that these ladies come from ( how ever many generations ago) have a lot of problems; rather than complaining (& doing nothing but complain) about this country, he told them ( or at least some of them, he never identified which he was referring to, but yet they and everybody else assumed it was all 4) to go fix your country of pride and then once you've helped fix there, then show us how to fix here. Is that boorish and crass. Yup. Like most everything he tweets. But is it racist. Not really, IMHO. Though would have a much harder time arguing it weren't xenophobic. As to not telling Sanders to go back to where he's from, where is it Bernie's roots come from? He's Jewish, but no data on where his ancestors emigrated from, and haven't heard him wax poetic about his homeland. 45 has given him flack for honeymooning in Russia. Pretty sure he's also mocked liberals that have threatened to move to France but didn't move there. Is that him being racist or just his typical in your face annoy those that don't agree with him. As to the 2nd bolded, that seems very plausible.

And AOC also said 'we don't run away from a land we love' which inadvertently says Omar doesn't love Somalia as she sure as heck got out of there. Might that be because it is a ###hole?

1st off, like 50-75% of 45's tweets, this one was cringeworthy. And, it was fairly predictable that it would be interpreted as being racist. But, what he actually said (as opposed to what people interpreted what he said) doesn't seem to be racist. (Although it would be interesting to know how many Congresswomen have migrated to the US; only know of 1 ottomh for certain (Omar).) He had to have known that the tweet would be interpreted as being racist. Really not sure what he was going for by sending it out. Because it seems to be more of a shoot himself in the foot moment than his usual stuff. Do expect that his base (and many others as well) will like the 'rather than be here complaining about how horrible the US is, why not go to the place you come across as expressing more loyalty towards and make that a better place and THEN work on 'fixing' here' sentiment but, like so much else he tweets, it was more divisive than necessary and seems to have been counterproductive.

Pretty sure you've got ours confused with the Swiss version.

They're nucking futs. And it really doesn't seem that they fully understand just what a war they start would look like, nor how it would end.

The problem with Johnson is he has an NTC & simply can't see him waiving it to go from the Presidents' Trophy winner to the Sabres. I expect Cirelli would actually be a good piece coming back for Ristolainen, but the Bolts need to shed salary now, not add to it. Cirelli would fit in as the 2C now and could be the 3C if Mittelstadt or Cozens ever reach their potential. Originally, wasn't too keen on a potential Risto / Cirelli trade, but one of the posters on SabreSpace (Randall Flagg) has been making a convincing case. RNH would be a great trade for Buffalo if Botterill could swing it. Too bad Chiarelli is no longer the GM there.

Truly awesome!

And as soon as we're all dead she'll probably love it even more.

Interesting. My fervent hope is that grownups reclaim that party and they get back to more centrist policies. It's not happening any time soon, but that still is the hope. It would be nice to see them actually go back to being the "working man's" party. (Insert "person" for "man" and close enough.). And not just in lip service but actual policies. They haven't been there for decades, but that is the hope.

Of course, the flip side is they know the sheeet that's coming down is real & know who's likely to get caught up will cause the electorate to break (relatively) heavily for 45 so running a centrist that's "electable" is a lost cause this time. UNLESS they can run out the clock, make it look like 45 is just as dirty as Epstein, and get "lucky" with a recession next year & then they get their desired loon into the office. And they didn't end up needing a guy / gal running as a centrist (like 42 did) so by doubling down on a weak hand they either lose as they expect & will have had their ideas out being discussed for 4 years when they aren't running against an incumbent so they have a strong chance OR their loon actually draws 3 cards to an inside straight.

Twitter, that great forum that allows morons to go against Lincoln's old maxim. He definitely removed all doubt.

Well, he does respond back that ACCESS to health care for illegals is common sense and further clarifies that as access to Emergency services. And a case can be made for that. But the question asked of him was should they receive free health care. Which granting them that is ludicrous on several levels.
