..is being groomed to step into the shoes of some conservative septuagenarian or another.

There might be a new generation waiting in the wings,@fedup,but only the conservatives will ever be allowed a chance at power.

Rall is right on point.

Biden’s Republicanism is precisely why the Democrats rigged the primary for him instead of Bernie.Biden’s presence at the top of the ticket gives them the appearance of opposition without anything changing.

@fedup,it hasn’t hit the upper middle class yet.On the contrary,they have done just fine in their role as system enablers.

Only when outsourcing and trade treaties  and sadistic cops hit their exalted selves will they be ready to storm the Bastille.

One can argue that the Democrats contributed even more to our downward slide than did the Republicans,because the trade deals and monopoly repeals and banker bailouts Reagan only dreamed of,Clinton and Obama made reality.

@hasslecat.

My husband is voting for Biden,only to stop Trump.That wish is valid,but I have no faith that Biden would do any better.I choose not to vote,since Howie Hawkins apparently didn’t make the Ohio ballot.

However,our Bernie sign is still out in our front yard—on a block full of Trump supporters.

..a revelation like this would hurt them.It won’t harm Trump’s standing one bit.

His base would do the same thing he does if they could get away with it.

he dodged taxes just like he dodged the draft.

This is nothing new,but it does call attention to the inequities in the tax code.The rest of us have to pay for things the rich won’t.

..depends on if we vote blue.

They’ve cried wolf so many times they should not be surprised it falls on deaf ears.

..an election,it would be Lindsay Graham.

It would be great if he would lose by such a margin he could never show his face in public again.

..and return it a thousandfold.

Well,it worked for St.Ronnie.

She’ll say what she thinks will go over,not what is true.

Falwell Jr. was the slimeball who liked to watch ..

How anybody can follow these jokers or take seriously one thing they say is beyond me.The local preachers are all exhorting their flock to vote for Trump…a thrice-married casino owner.Funny if you don’t look at it too hard.

..because like almost everyone in Washington,she had a huge ego and considered herself indispensable.Harry Truman called it Potomac Fever.

Sure Obama would have picked a conservative justice.Merrick Garland was.

@davidthegnome,although  European Catholicism and Judaism seem to understand the human condition more than most.And as flawed as they are,the Amish,the Mennonites,and my own faith,the Church of Christ,do at least emphasize simplicity and dignity in worship,the difference between worship and show business,and the importance of studying Scripture…[Read more]

What democracy?

@retiredliberal.

I too think the Supreme Court will wind up deciding this election,with a repeat of Bush v.Gore on the docket.

She could also wind up deciding the fate of Social Security if it is tested in court.

She’s almost certainly anti-union and anti-worker,just like Kavanaugh.

And even if Roberts votes with the court liberals on an i…[Read more]

@davidthegnome,the media is not doing a bit of reporting on how extreme this group really is.It really is around the bend.

Apparently it’s okay to be completely out of the mainstream if it suits the system’s economic and social purposes.But a democratic socialist or a Russiagate skeptic,God forbid.

..have not dealt much with the nature of the Catholic spinoff cult she belongs to.

Once upon a time,if you were a member of some weird religion,that would raise some questions.Even Twit Romney was not free from questions regarding the stranger parts of his Mormon faith.

Now?Meh.

How far down we have fallen.
