Nancy Pelosi. But she doesn't control the Senate. Taking the Senate is as important as beating Trump.


That's basically it for me in a nutshell. Down the line, all blue as the reds toe the line no matter how egregious their overt corruption is.


equivalency? really?

Anybody who thinks Trump's Syria decision was a good idea. I strongly recommend you follow Richard Engel on twitter to be informed on what's really happening.

Dude... Trump is using words like "the area needed to be cleansed" Cleansed?
Same time Russia dropped adherence to non torture of civilians..
And now what is Russia saying to the Kurds?

Kremlin says U.S. betrayed Kurds in Syria, tells Kurds to withdraw or be mauled

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-security-turkey-kremlin/kremlin-says-us-betrayed-kurds-in-syria-tells-kurds-to-withdraw-or-be-mauled-idUSKBN1X20LW

Quote:
If the Kurds did not withdraw as per the deal between Moscow and Ankara, Peskov said that Syrian borders guards and Russian military police would have to withdraw, leaving the Kurds to be dealt with by the Turkish army.


Did the Kurds get to negotiate with Ankara and Moscow?

When will someone come out and just call Trump a terrorist?

Didn't know whether to post this in the MLB thread or here. Chose here. Safe to say that Mr. Drake is part of the 40%...

@JeffPassan


Major league umpire Rob Drake tweeted “I will be buying an AR-15 tomorrow, because if you impeach MY PRESIDENT this way, YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!!! #MAGA2020”, according to a copy of the tweet obtained by ESPN. MLB says it is aware of it.

AAA league umpire Rob Drake is entitled to his opinion.

I am sure that MLB respects that there are people like AA umpire Rob Drake who feel very strongly about these things, and they will allow A umpire Rob Drake to express himself.

In other words, Podunk, Alabama High School umpire Rob Drake is going to be just fine.

Authoritarian behavior. It's as simple as that. They have no understanding of the Constitution, the rule of law, democratic norms, etc. The only thing they understand is guns and resentment toward those they perceive as enemies. It's frightening.

Perhaps I'm being forgetful, but didn't someone advocate a civil war in the case of impeachment, via a supportive retweet?

A significant part of the population finds fascism appealing. Neither the National Fascist Party nor the National Socialist German Workers' Party had a clear majority when they seized power.

Democrats are being unfair to Trump and denying him his right to face his accuser.. /Base-message

You don't face Federally protected whistleblowers and this is only investigation stage

These men really have no shame. This is who they think America wants them to be?

Alarming. Social media may be the end of us. Who knows what’s true, who is who, Etc. I’m not saying this guy isn’t who he says he is, just en masse we have a huge problem with extreme positions being taken on social media. Not sure how we can temper things as a society.

Your conspiracy theory is making a simplistic tool to feed into your pre conceived notion a rather complex and multi sided issue. You might as well just say Benghazi!

I think you misread his post. He’s saying time to vote all blue as the red team sticks with Trump.

There’s a theory that rather than a continuum the political spectrum is a circle. The farther you get left or right the more they sure do start sounding alike.

Nope, based on hard, brutal truths, and family visits, pre-war; I probably have a bit more background and info on that region than you OL.

I think you should address your post to Hillary, where it belongs, after her rant on Gabbard and Stein.

I’ve visited lots of countries and have family and friends in some. That doesn’t make me an expert. Or make any crackpot propaganda I get off the Russian left wing news network particularly true. And of course you didn’t supply any of that until your Russian... I mean right wing... I mean Gabbard talking point was poked at. I’m not sure “I have family in the region” will answer the geopolitical issues of Assad/Russia/Iran or Ghaddafy. But I’m willing to hear about the golden years of their generous reign. I’m sure a lot of Syrian civilians bombed for merely demonstrating would like that story too.
