As a concept, the Green New Deal ought to be turned into a fleshed-out package of good legislation to be be introduced and passed in the House in 2019 and 2020, while the GOP-controlled Senate refuses to act on the bills. if that happens, it could well be the rallying cry for Democrats in the 2020 election at all…

The hundred student walkout in support of the teacher is indicative of how deeply rooted anti-trans sentiment remains in parts of the community. One wonders whether Roger Severino will take an interest.

“Running Dog” Don Junior seems to fear being on the menu - but that is not a literal one. The only menu he’ll be on is an indictment, followed by a fair trial, conviction, sentencing and incarceration.

An American version might be called a “Mini-KIng Cab Pickup Truck” - or maybe a “Little Prince Cab Pickup?

I can see this happening. A few years back, my elderly mom was frustrated by the fact that everyone else seemed to have SUVs or pick-up trucks, that she no longer felt safe backing out of a parking space in her car because her view to the right and left would be cut off by hulking behemoths to either side.

In related news, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh denies having any memory of partying with said whale.

I was in awe of Bakshi’s LOTR film, and wish he had been able to complete the second half.

I made that “finished series only” vow after Philip Jose Farmer’s Riverworld “trilogy” stalled out after the first two books, only to return with a massive third volume that was only the first half of the ending - and still had to wait for the final volume,

Rick Scott looks like the embodiment of Skeletor, but has fewer moral scruples, and while he has a history of medical insurance fraud that did not stop him from becoming governor, he now wants to add voting fraud to his long list of bad doings - and he has the gall to project his own evil machinations onto Democrats.…

It might be the flux capacitor - get it up to 88 mph . . .

I have found Myers-Briggs useful - as long as one understands that everyone is each still a unique individual and not a cardboard cutout that comes in 16 (or 4, or 64) “types,” and that all the inventory does is help paint in broad brushstrokes.

I want to give a star to this article, or better yet, to Steve Kornacki!

When someone comes up with a G-Mail add on that puts the attachments at the top, I’ll be ready for G-Mail.  But until then, everything ends up in Outlook for me.

Kemp is desperately throwing sand into everyone’s faces in an attempt to obfuscate his own incompetence in office - and blaming Democrats for his own failures is just one more reason to reject this human caricature of white nationalism.

What I *really* want to have is the ability to see and interact with attachments at the *top* of my G-Mail, and not at the bottom of a long conversation thread. The way my IT guy,err, CIO, has been letting me do this (because I threw a hissy-fit when we migrated to G-Mail) has been to somehow attach Outlook as a front…

I still try on Facebook - I believe that they have other friends who are possibly not quite fully in the Trump Bubble who might be influenced by a bit of actual fact in contrast to the others who are in deplorable lock step.

Oh, great. Yeshua was NOT killed by the Jewish people. He was executed by the Romans for insurrection after he started a riot in the Temple precinct, overturning the tables of the professionals who exchanged coins with graven images of people, for coins that could be used to make offerings. And this happened while…

Not centuries - more like somewhere around 12 or 13 years after the execution of Yeshua (ca. 50 CE) at the Council of Jerusalem.  Since the leaders of “The Way” wanted to proselytize to non-Jews, the idea of circumcision as an entry ceremony for adult men was mostly a non-starter.

With all that - this particular “rabbi” used the VERY Christian “Yeshua/Jesus as Lord and Savior” phraseology, and that probably *does* intimate that he is very likely to have crossed the line, though it isn’t entirely dispositive.

I get the idea that none of the mainstream Jewish sects recognizes Jews for Jesus/Messianic Judaism.  That does not mean that “Messianic Jews” are not Jewish.
