the Auntie who apparently drank a solid diet of Fox News told me she had a very expensive water filter to keep out the mind control drugs the government puts in there. She also told me how she believed the CIA was watching her through her TV. She covered it up unless she was watching it.

JFC.  

Honestly?

Just an FYI, if you come across a troll who is stalking and harassing you, or any other commenter, don’t just ignore them and keep them in the grays; or dismiss them; flag them to get them banned. 

Why not Bernie?” I ask the couple dozen people I interview from the front, back, and middle of the line. As if reading from a script they tell me it’s because Bernie has promised everyone government jobs

Nonvoters, imho, are the great untapped resource. I think more of them are liberal leaning and persuadable.

I fear that in the near future, another Trump will come down the pike; only it will be a competent and smart white nationalist who knows how to troll and put on a show for his idiot supporters. And his damage will be more far reaching. Particularly since climate change and the resulting wrecked economies and limited…

One can only hope that it drives him to a fatal heart attack; but alas, tyrants live longer than the rest of us.

It shouldn’t have to be a “choice”.  It should be in addition to governmental benefits, otherwise the poor are getting screwed over.

How much do you want to bet that the Pouter-in-Chief will refuse to do a State of the Union in protest against big meanie pants Nancy Pelosi and congressional democrats?

I think I remember that; because it was replayed on various news shows.

Wow, that is fascinating!

But I wasn’t really talking about the things Trump was impeached for when I suggested he might resign and get a blanket pardon, I was talking about all the other potential crimes (like tax evasion) that he may have committed during the course of his life and which he should be afraid of being prosecuted over. If he…

True.  Also, it might help with those who are homeless; or have disabilities.  My only worry is that they will try to use a universal basic income as a way to strip other governmental benefits.

I still think it’s important to understand the Yang supporter; who basically seem like the politically naive, but also disenfranchised.  Because whomever is the eventual nominee needs to learn how to reach them; every vote counts.

Interesting article, thanks Emily.

Has that clause of the Constitution been interpreted that way though? I don’t think it has ever been tested. I thought that the clause meant that a President can’t pardon someone for the offenses he is impeached for, but not for other offenses or that a President who has been impeached loses his power to pardon…

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t think anyone (or so few as to not make a difference) are going to protest vote or not vote this time around. Even those who are somewhat indifferent to the democratic party or whomever is the nominee are so sick of the sound of Trump’s whiny ass voice that they will vote just to stop…

Wow.  I’m so sorry.
