The only way we could know about this is If someone officially authorized by O’Rourke’s campaign accepted the money and typed “from an oil company employee” into the database. It isn’t possible to argue the campaign did not knowingly accept large donations from oil company employees - those records sure didn’t type…

I agree Bernie shouldn’t run ... at least not seriously. But none of the Democratic “young blood” bursting forth are remotely ready to run for president. Most of them are, at best, jockeying for a shot at vice president.

Holy crap ... Blue Dogs are criticizing Schumer from the left?

Fair enough ... to a point. But only to the extent you aren’t cutting your nose off to spite your own face.

There are trees in the foreground of that video, so it can’t be shot from where your arrow points.

Challenging your leaders simply for the sake of doing it seems kind of stupid and pointless though. I’m not at all convinced making decisions based on slogans from a 12-year-old’s tee shirt is always the best approach.

Lieberman was a twit, but he wasn’t the definitive vote at all. The Democrats had a supermajority (and they had the bill in reconciliation which could pass with a simple majority vote).

In fairness, the version of the ACA she passed out of the House had a public option.

“Well, Jaime,” I said grandly, “neither do I, honestly. But you know, I think there comes a time in a man’s life when he has a chance to say to his grandchildren, I once went skinny-dipping with William F. Buckley, Jr. And this, Jaime, this is that chance.”

Before a certain age (at least 13 IMO), it makes a lot of sense to get kids an oldschool style feature phone.

Cohen is too dirty to trust. They are going to make him earn it. SDNY didn’t even offer him a plea deal.

Trump has a problem. The only power that matters to him anymore is his pardon pen. He can’t leave office until all the investigations are complete and he’s cleared himself and his cronies of any liability.

I don’t think he’s done with Flynn (or Manifort). Unless none of that redacted stuff results in indictment, Flynn still needs to testify. Seems more like they are sending a message with Flynn - a calculated risk that Flynn has provided enough vetted information to earn their trust.

Flynn = Carrot.
Manifort = Stick.

Hold on. So you’re the one with power to “elevate” artists? I’ve been looking for you!

Point 2: But we know it didn’t (doesn’t). We know that rather than kicking off, the autopilot pitched the craft nose-down into an “aggressive dive”. We also know that the pilot was unaware of this possible behavior. That is the new information being relayed in the article we’re commenting on.

...which nets 260 miles on a single charge. The $35,000 model, promoted since the car was first announced in 2016, is expected to get 220 miles on a single charge.

If the animal was specifically bred for food, one would think it could be put through a meat-processing facility.

A sub can’t possibly be a sandwich.

Yeah. That’s why she’s probably the most qualified to lead the caucus.
