The Republicans’ current strategy is to wait and see who wins the election in November. If a Democrat wins, they’ll approve this moderate nominee. If a Republican wins, they’ll not approve this nominee so that the Republican president can pick one. Bernie’s comment about requesting the president to withdraw the…

Bernie has been a politician for most of his life. As a far left independent in Congress (a virtual outsider), he’s been forced to play the long game. Most of the legislation he’s gotten through Congress has been passed by tacking small amendments onto larger, more moderate bills and negotiating with more conservative…

Come on, guys. This is The Point of this nominee. Sanders’ comments can’t do anything but help the President in this battle with Congress. Garland was nominated BECAUSE he’s moderate, almost conservative, in his decisions, making the Republicans in Congress look ridiculous for refusing to confer on the nomination. If…

Not to mention, when the pigs were loose and wandering around, Simon was fine with them. He didn’t go after the pig until one of Cesar’s “helpers” restrained the pig, holding it by its back legs, until the pig got excited and started squealing. This was intentionally manufactured, by the creators of a reality…

The whole situation in East St. Louis is devastating.

Same town, same news source, published less than a year ago:

The kind where when the makers of Escape from New York were looking for a post-apocalyptic setting in the 80s, they picked that one. Not joking. It’s basically Flint, MI if you replaced half of the residents with crack dens and meth labs. It’s decades of racist indifference.

That is the racial issue. East St. Louis is 98% black and the vast majority of the population is living under the poverty line. They’ve basically been abandoned by the state of Illinois like a tiny Detroit on the Mississippi. No trash pickup, sewers flowing into the streets, no funding for basic emergency services,…

East St. Louis, IL is probably one of the worst places in the nation for any kind of services. Last I heard, they still don’t have trash pickup or a functioning sewer system. The murder rate in 2014 was higher than Honduras, making it one of the most dangerous places to live in the world. They fired half of their…

This isn’t just about cakes and photographers, either.

And then our Republican controlled legislature overrides his veto like they did on the 72-hour waiting period for abortions.

It’s a Constitutional Amendment, so it goes directly to the people on the November ballot.

I’m not an engineer, but I work for a large architecture/engineering firm with both mechanical and electrical engineers. I will say that my office is definitely not a boys club. We make a concerted effort to hire women and minorities, and because architecture/design has a slightly better ratio of men:women than…

If you’re incapable of telling if a woman is interested in you before you ask her out, then you either haven’t spent any time at all getting to know her or you’re so socially inept you shouldn’t ask anyone to date you until you figure it out. Contrary to popular belief, women are not aliens from another planet that…

My point is, though, that it IS imperative for women to hear these cases, because it is women that fully understand the issue and women who are affected by the outcome. Justice Breyer is an amazing man and feminist, but without the three women by his side, it is unlikely that he would have shown the passion that he…

I agree with you that a male justice could possibly be as passionate about this as a female justice, but only because of the example of passionate women like these three. You probably wouldn’t know or understand this issue nearly as well as a woman does if it wasn’t for women in your life who have exhibited that…

Hi, yeah, still voting for Bernie, but if it makes you feel better to call me a Clinton supporter, go right ahead. I’ll end up voting for her in the general anyway since she’ll make a far better president than any of the GOP candidates.

No, political analysts do not examine whether people are voting in their “best interests.” There are a myriad of reasons why people vote one way or another, because “poor white people” or “black people” or “Latinos” are not monolithic groups. Political analysts examine the issues that cause people to vote the way they…

Why do you feel it’s your place to tell anyone what is in their best interest? I don’t care if it’s a poor white woman in a trailer in Georgia or a Sikh teenager in Minnesota, they do not need you telling them what they should care about. You are more than welcome to be curious about why someone would do something…

Oh for pete’s sake, try reading the words.
