“To a certain extent, this is what Democratic talking points have been for 40 years: One ongoing response to Reaganism.”

Obamacare is far better than holding out for nothing.

“The dignity of work life is a value that unites us all.”

That the “early primary states” are ALWAYS the early primary states is the single biggest thing wrong with the elections. Primaries should be randomized each election. If candidates want to run the whole country, the candidate list shouldn’t be defined by a few thousand people in New England.

No American industry will willingly allow their profit margins to shrink. Costs will be built into the prices for consumers, and if there is too much opposition, agriculture will lobby and receive subsidies from the government (which consumers will pay for through taxes).

Democrats need to be very careful here. I’ll wager will fold on bills to re-open the government by paying the workers who worked through the crisis, but then declare that without wall funding he won’t sign bills to handle back-pay for all the workers who were sent home over the length of his tantrum. (Tone-deaf…

I’ve read that if the shutdown goes beyond monday (Jan 14), The U.S. GDP will have lost more than the $5.7B Trump asked for. He’ll still want the $5.7B on top of that loss. Screw him.

You gotta love those vacations where you, like, lose your home and don’t get to eat...

If the manager wanted to prevent them from coming back, he should have needed to apply for a restraining order, where they would have laughed him out of the room once the facts came out.  A trespassing citation is bullshit and the PD should be reprimanded.
