You just know those guys (alone with the Iran/Contra and Watergate survivors) are looking on with envy at just how brazenly Trump et al have been doing this stuff. They worked so hard to look respectable.

Exactly. Putin’s end game is destabilizing and discrediting the US and to a lesser extent discrediting the very concept of representative democracy. In that he’s succeeding brilliantly.

Except it’s not political suicide. They’ve been running against ‘Obamacare’ for six years now. Republicans control the majority of State legislatures and governorships. They control the congress and the Presidency and are in a good position to place a raft of conservative judges through the judiciary, not to mention…

I remember nearly two years of open hearings, in front of full committees. Meetings at the White House with members of BOTH parties. I remember amendments being offered by dozens of Senators, again from BOTH parties. I remember ‘moderate’ Republicans pretending to negotiate in good faith only to pull back support even…

“Every time electric and hybrid cars come up as the new low-emissions superstars of the automotive world, someone inevitably brings up the high environmental costs of simply producing a car. Will we ever see a truly environmentally-friendly car?”

“When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!”

Carry ons are a big part of the problem (boarding and exiting). I’ve been travelling by plane for over 40 years now and the as the amount of s&*t people carry goes up the process for getting on and off gets slower and uglier. I know margins are tight, but for the love of all that is holy airlines please allow people…

In 2016, for the first time in decades, the majority of white women voted for the Republican candidate for President. I think of that every time I read articles like this.

College is priced to ensure more students get loans (that includes a lot of upper middle class as well). This started back in the 90s when tuition really started to take off (massively out-pacing inflation). Colleges raised tuition while bumping up student loan programs (and other aid packages, many of which were…

Vote. Donate time or money to get out the vote drives.

It’s a quirk of the cloning process Disney uses to create them.

Most of the states that started recognizing same sex marriage did so because their state courts overturned various bans (most brought through the legislatures or initiative processes). I’m asking if an actual state legislature passed a law recognizing same sex marriage. Because I only recall court decisions that…

Fabulous news. I’m trying to remember, did any elected body in the US (state legislature, city council) actually vote to legalize same sex marriage before the Supreme Court decision? Or was it all done through the courts?

For the first time in decades in the majority of white women voted for a Republican president. I have no words at this point.

Scrapping or significantly changing NAFTA won’t, on net, bring jobs back to the US. And will most likely harm Mexico’s economy driving even more illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

They average citizen in Kansas at least LOVED the ACA. Polls show strong support for the state exchanges and the enrollment numbers are very strong. Of course those same polls show they absolutely HATE ‘Obamacare’ and want it repealed immediately.

Honestly, that’s what Republicans should do. The ACA was a Heritage Foundation plan that was originally put together as the Republican answer to calls for universal healthcare/single payer. The people of Kansas absolutely loved the ACA by double digit numbers according to polls. But they hated ‘Obamacare’ and voted…

That about covers it. This bill will pass. What’s worse? The Republicans will pick up seats in the Senate in 2018.

In other words, overseas travel to US will continue to decline. Between this and various ‘computer’ bans on flights overseas the travel industry is going to suffer under Trump.

As a commenter above noted, it is perfectly legal to walk without ID. He gave his name he’s not required to show ID. This is straight up intimidation by the officer.
