What? Are you telling me there's a two-tier justice system in this Banana Republic country? I'm totally shocked.

My friend lived in a house where one of his roommates sold pot. The police took everything he owned and he served 3 years in prison. Just for boarding with the wrong dude. I never understand how justice works in this country.

It’s like the 1960s all over again.

But his biggest achievement came in 2010 through the Affordable Care Act. In a series of high-stakes legislative maneuvers,…

“What matters is what we can do. What matters is how many people you can help. If Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren both support more or less the same policies, and one says that his motivation is socialism and one does not, here is the meaningful real world difference between the two: nothing.
