Those states are some of the poorest because of what happened after the civil war during reconstruction. They could easily remedy that in the alternate history.

No state has overcome it because history took a major turning point after Lincoln’s assassination. He wasn’t for just letting all slaves be free, bye - see you later... he wanted a slow process so black people could get an education. Had dark skinned black people been given the chance to get the land promised and an…

And is there a Nazi state someplace as in “High Castle”?

You make no sense.

I think you might have a shitty family, more than anything else.

Are you ok with no giving a shit about other kids that may not be lucky enough to have you as a mom and need help and services? That is the question here.

You’d think our leaders could at least offer our children a modest proposal.

Yeah I think the problem isn’t not caring about children, it’s caring too much about your own children and not at all about anyone else’s.

The Dickens book that represents what today’s right wing seems eager to bring back as a social system - children laboring to free their parents from the “poor house” - has to be Little Dorritt. Might be too recognizable to read right now.

John Mulaney has a bit in one of his standup specials where he says that he grew up before children were special, and I know what he means. I was often allowed to just sort of do as I pleased, and those days are over. However, I think we now live in a time in which only one’s own children have any value. Other…

John Oliver with Last Week Tonight is a good stopgap. He helps me in the “OK I’m not the only person who sees how insane this is” department.

Trevor Noah is totally serviceable on the Daily Show, and has moments of comedic genius. But right now, I miss Jon Stewart so very much. I know his acerbic interviewing style and terrific timing wouldn’t change the minds of the people who voted for Trump, but he would definitely consistently raise Trump’s hackles.…

Lisa Murkowski got primaried from the right in her last election, wasn’t supported by the party at all, and managed to organize a successful write-in campaign in the general election (which, with a name like Murkowski, is no small feat). She also sits on Appropriations and chairs Energy and Natural Resources, giving…

Having worked in Washington, as soon as I read the term “deep state” I yawn and go read something else less stupid. You’re probably a good guy IRL but you’re embarrassing yourself here.

Hahahaha. Such a kidder! Hahaha... “deep state”, such a great one, right along with “fake news” and “alternative facts”.

You’re making invalid conclusions though... Just because a Group of people is Trying to make it look like Trump did something doesn’t mean he did nothing... One doesn’t preclude the other.

They found nothing on Russia collusion

The type of person that you are makes me mad.

Just because nothing has happened yet, doesn’t mean nothing will. Are you familiar with the timeline of the Watergate scandal?

Under the US Constitution, the President has the power to grant pardons for federal criminal offenses, and not in cases of impeachment (as noted in article above). The governors of each state have the authority to grant pardons for state crimes (pursuant to their state constitutions, and I am not entirely sure but I…
