This district is in Luzerne County, PA. A few years ago, two judges were convicted in a “Kids for Cash” scheme, in which they jailed juveniles for minor offenses, like petty theft/shoplifting. Luzerne County voted overwhelmingly to elect Trump, and a few months ago, Trump held one of his hate rallies there. Do the…

He probably thinks people can buy cigarettes and booze with food stamps too. Some days I hate people.

Referring to a letter received by a mother who owed $75, he told WNEP, ““Where did that $75 go? Is it going to cigarettes? Is it going to alcohol? We don’t know. That’s right, we don’t know that,” he said.

While Clinton certainly committed perjury, were he not president it is almost certain that no federal prosecutor would give enough of a shit about him lying about a consensual, extramarital affair in a private civil case, as to actually try to prosecute it. What Trump did is a different story.

Amen. It’s not some grand scheme or anyone having dirt on anybody else, this is someone trying to play by the rules when everybody else is flipping the board over. McConnell winked at it with the question about filling a Supreme Court seat if one comes up next year; these guys are just not playing by the rules and…

You clearly weren’t listening. He said that he couldn’t indict the president because he’s the sitting president, and that you cannot use criminal justice proceedings to indict. If you want to indict, you need to go through impeachment.

She won’t. She’s in on it too. Or she’s too beholden to those that finance her political campaign. 45 either has something on her, or she’s too scared that her financial backing will vanish.  She’s also old enough that she believes she’ll be dead before the worst of the shit hits the fan, so she’ll stay comfortably…

I’d argue the opposite. He knows very much what he can and cannot say. He knows what Comey did when he shot the fucking gun long before appropriate and ran his mouth, imploding trust in the FBI, the CIA and had gotten us into this mess (partially) through Comey’s choices.

Once again,

My thoughts have been along these lines, too. He’s such an extreme, malignant narcissist, and claims he hasn’t changed as a person since he was a kid, that I think from a very young age he got it in his head that he was exceptional and already knew best about everything. Being openly inquisitive and exercising the…

Sure, missed passports in that list. Although I’m not sure why we need to have a passport to live in your own fucking country.

What were the majority judges’ arguments?

While Roe has a cross-hairs on its back the entire reason Kavanaugh was forced through is because he’s going to help them make Republican gerrymandering and voter-suppression the law of the land.

No, they won’t wake up. You really do not understand the mindset of the modern-day Republican base. It exists along what I have taken to calling an “axis of abuse” - a very valid case can be made that a great deal of the party is basically a giant case of Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

I think this is certainly true of some people, but I also think the entire truth is more complicated than this. The historic support of black people for Democrats goes back for a while, and for good reason: They’ve been the best bulwark against the outright egregiously racist policies of the right. It’s one thing to…

But he’s also made a point of not wanting to be a part of the party’s machinery for decades while wanting to hop on board when it suits him.

Not ignored, but not exactly singled out either. How about “White politicians on the national stage are, at best, ignorant about race dynamics in america” That’s an accurate headline that doesn’t reek of “hit piece”

And you should vote for him because he’s better about class dynamics than the other guys, which, as the…

> Build a base of devoted followers who think America is under attack by forces of evil, but keep hitting them up for donations, and (most importantly) give them nothing in return for their hard-earned dollars.

You can be both an ordinary American and a minority. They aren’t mutually exclusive, and I didn’t take his statement that way, either.

Just because Bernie listed off groups with specific problems that must be addressed before turning to general problems that span groups does not mean that he thinks the two sets are non-overlapping. You are trying to further the Bernie-Bro myth that doesn’t exist: Bernie is currently more popular with blacks, latinos,…
