I contend that the Raptors’ championship is actually worth [checks xe.com] about 25.2% less than any previous title.

“Why is it that we perceive people who are in politics as caricatures?”

Seriously, why do these guys always have the same names?

It also depends on whether the very diverse electorate has an opportunity to actually cast a vote and whether the vote will be tallied honestly.

Clearly he's suffering from war-related PTSD and needs our sympathy and understanding.

I’m sort of with you here. Trump impressions are low-hanging fruit to begin with, and what’s more is that the world is on fire. There’s no reason to satirize a situation that already seems like satire itself.

“As the editor of my college newspaper years ago (Vietnam era), I know there is always another side to the story.”

I thought it was wanted posters at first.

Everyone calling out Mitch for being a hypocrite is missing one of the defining truths of both his political philosophy, and his career:

The man has always been consistent about one thing: Cementing the power base of his political party and the monied interests that support that party.

His apparent waffling on…

I would not support any Democrat doing what McConnell did to Obama and Merrick Garland. If that makes me a dipshit in your eyes, I’m fine with that.

When you say a “treasonous cable” do you mean:

-Or the much more mundane “Cabal” i.e., a clandestine organization of some sort?

If Joe Biden wins the Democratic nomination then I will vote for Joe Biden because he isn't Trump. Troll elsewhere dumbass.

“A fanatic is someone who won’t change his mind and can’t change the subject.”

Oh look, BarackaObama made another divisive comment. What shall we doooo...???

Has Bernie Sanders apologized for voting to give gun manufacturers immunity? For the several “tough on crime” bills he supported in the 1990s? For his previous anti immigrant stance in the 2000s? When he went on Lou Dobbs racist show and praised the white supremacist group “The Minutemen”?

And no one passes the liberal “purity test” including Bernie Sanders.  We need to be reasonable when viewing the candidates.

The fact that she is a convert is a plus, not a minus. There’s no one more passionate about a cause than a convert.

Except that’s not what she did. This article seriously mischaracterizes some of her work, especially for Travelers. She was not trying to help Travelers avoid compensation for asbestos victims. She was protecting a settlement for asbestos victims - most victims were on her side at the time.
