  1. This is a very common mis-characterization of Bernie supporters. They're not all kids. A LOT of them are older people too.
  2. Kamala Harris checks more boxes.
  3. This is my greatest fear in this transgender business. Children are very impressionable. They hear this stuff on YouTube, TV, and at school. Maybe they start thinking about it and say something to their school counselor and now they are sort of pushed into the acceptance and tranisition. Add to that these kids are viewed as brave heroes. I guess my concern is that impressionable kids may be talked into it by culture and caring adults. When it may be just a phase that they would naturally figure out on their own.
  4. Trump built a wall around WI so Hillary could not campaign there.
  5. I have heard this idea that if Trump loses he won't leave. Bill Maher is big on this one. My feeling is that if the election is certified and the electoral college thing done and Donald says he ain't leaving, immediately after the swearing in ceremony, there will be a cop knock on the Oval Office door followed by a door break in and a concussion grenade and he will be physically removed.
  6. I am a Seattle Dragons season ticket owner and am looking forward to watching some more football. I thought the league last year was good til they folded. The idea of a shorter game is a really good one. The rest of the rule change I really don't care about. The NFL has gotten so circus like it might be fun to just watch guys play football for football's sake. Hopefully whenever someone does their job all the players don't have to run down to one end of the field and pretend they are posing for a family photo.
  7. Sounds gross. I think it's gross when kids kiss their parents on thel lips. I watched the video and it was a kiss on the lips like Trump spurned Nancy's handshake. I don't like Uncle Joe, but from watching the video I say it was not a kiss on the lips. These kinds of things like this one and saying Trump spurned Nancy's handshake just make the accusers look stupid and desperate IMHO.
  8. And all 50 states legally sell and tax alcohol (which is definitely a drug). Actually it was used long before that. Cab Calloway had a song about it. It was legal back then too.
  9. This blew my mind when I found out about it and still does. We have a nepotism law in this country for the President put in after the Kennedy administration but it doesn't apply in this case. Might be a good thing for Ds to do now that impeachment is over is to tighten up the law so this doesn't happen again.
  10. If anyone else has 6 minority WoC quit due to a hostile work environment will she let them off because of legacies of American society prejudice? Surely she can't be the only one that has to deal with this. Unless they are getting campaign workers that aren't from American society.
  11. I'm torn on this one. I like what Bernie says that if you work 40 hours in America you should be able to afford a place to live and food. However the way it works is if you pay the lowest people more, you gotta pay everyone more AND it probably means less people hired cuz they cost too much. There was an article in the Seattle Times the other day about robot pizza makers. They mentioned the rising cost of labor as one of the reasons for it. A couple of times. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/we-made-pizza-we-made-robots-why-not-robot-pizza/ This all great for THE MAN and once again the little guy takes it in the shorts. Sad. Another option would be we just pay 25 cents more for a pizza or an extra 5 cents for a Big Mac and keep people employed. Doesn't seem so bad.
  12. He did say it a bunch of times on the stump however. Almost as many times as Barack said "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."
  13. I'm not so sure Pete could beat Donald. Pete polls at 0% with black voters. (yet somehow he had six black women behind him when he made his victory speech in Iowa of all places.). Death for a Democrat. Add onto that Trump dishing the dirt on him for months on end. When you listen to him it's all platitudes and political cliches. Of course the same could be said of a lot of them. I'd vote for him over Trump but he's well down my list.
  14. after last night, he Probably should have gone after Mayor Pete's son.
  15. Whether it's a good thing or not remains to be seen. I happen to think in a lot of ways it probably isn't. What are people gonna do? They have to do something. And it's not just low level jobs that will be replaced. Computers can already find cancer in x-rays better than trained skilled experienced radiologists. Computers can gather information and trends etc in huge amounts of data better and faster than 100 lawyers could do previously. So highly skilled people will be pushed out. Some hospitals have been able to replace 100 pharmacists with a machine that can do it better/faster. Sure many computer jobs will be created, but I doubt it will be anywhere near as many as get displaced. This is different from the industrial revolution. Yeah the horse went away and buggy whip makers, but they were replaced by factories employing many people building cars etc. I don't see that happening with this. Quite the opposite I suspect. Not everyone can "learn to code". I got an interesting novel for Christmas about this. Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. I would recommend to anyone.
  16. I've been saying this all along. If Donald really did do that whole call etc to dig up dirt on Biden he is even dumber than I thought. You don't need to dig up dirt on Biden. He arrives at campaign stops with 2 dump trucks full of dirt. AND, he provides new dirt on a monthly basis if not more often.
  17. We had them in my state until they decided to go with a primary this time. It was kindof fun I guess if you're a political junkie. About 1 hour in I started to think, what about the people with small children that can't afford a baby sitter? Or the people who's kids had a soccer game that morning? Or the people that can't sit/stand for 2 hours? Or the people that have to work on Saturday ... Meanwhile, my wife and I who have no kids left at home and don't work Saturday were able to be there. Doesn't seem fair or inclusive. At least in my state, I think that was the point.
  18. yes but with everyone losing their jobs to automation, everyone is going to be out of work. Not just white racists.
  19. Smart. I was very skeptical of the whole thing in 2016. We had a caucus in my state. They have since changed it to a primary this year. Anyway, I was caucusing for Bernie. I volunteered to be precinct captain so I could watch the votes being counted to make sure no Hillary monkey business was going on.
  20. I view Coach McDermott as a great leader of men. He makes the team function at a much higher level than the sum of it's parts. This is HUGE. I do question his player evaluation skills. Thinking Nasty Nate was an NFL caliber STARTER 2 years in a row. Thinking a 36 year old RB can last the whole season and be productive with only one other active RB. And he gets FULL blame for the ineptness of the offense. He IS the head Coach after all. The buck stops with him and he says the same. Oh, and he IS a conservative coach and likely always will be. Learn to love it.
  21. They forgot to mention Flynn. He had the goods and was going to roll over on Trump too.
  22. Doesn't The Energizer come over any more?
  23. If left to his own devices he probably would. He was one of the movers and shakers of WWW (Iraq War). He didn't learn his lesson. He's still a big war hawk. He still thinks war in the middle east is a good thing. The dude should never get withing 250 miles of Washington ever again. And now he's the Ds hero even though they have no idea what he would actually say LOL. I suspect that even if he does testify he will be as big a dud for the Ds as Flynn, Comey, Cohen, and Mueller. We'll see ...
  24. CNN now reporting that Nixon was impeached. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/01/30/john-dean-dershowitz-unimpeached-richard-nixon-sot-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/trump-ukraine/
