If Joe is concerned that we should have an opposition party,then maybe he shouldn’t be pitching Republican policies.

They aaren’t traitors in the usual sense of the word because to betray something implies a previous allegiance.The people we are discussing have no allegiance to anything but money.

Also,it’s no surprise that Democratic Party rhetoric is taking on an increasingly Bircher tone.A lot of the people peddling this swill now,and falling for it as wel…[Read more]

She isn’t serious about anything except sabotaging Bernie.That’s what she was put in this race to do.

And this is what the leader of the most powerful nation in the world chooses to concern himself with.

Do you laugh(my option) or do you cry?

Next thing you know some grandstanding Congressman like Adam Schiff will start holding hearings on Russia’s infiltration of the military.Just like 1954.

Absolutely,Algernon.

Maybe those of us born during those years who didn’t have it easy were the least likely to become the stereotypical yuppie boomer who voted for Reagan and loves the Clintons.Maybe what we have that the others lack is perspective.

I consider myself a divorcee from my generation.

Of course they are going to rig the primary again.It’s what they do.

Means testing..bad idea.

Social Security and Medicare succeeded because they were EVERYONE,even for rich people or well to do folks.FDR knew his middle class and he knew how they resent the thought of anyone getting something they aren’t.

Means testing a program eventually kills it—and that seems to be what Pete has in mind.

I’ll pass on watching the dog and pony show.If we are going to have nothing but theater,I want at least to like the play.

It’s not just a race thing,it’s a class thing.

Being from West Virginia and without a college degree and yet a writer,if I had a nickel for every professional class person and rich person who has met me and gushed,”You are so well spoken!”I would be as rich as Bloomberg himself.

The implication is that Booker,being from Jersey,is practic…[Read more]

If electability is an issue,then it’s obvious that Bernie has to be your choice,because his proposals are very popular,even among some Republicans.

He’s the most trusted politician in the country,and that’s no accident.He’s always been consistent,honest,and he offers concrete proposals.Plus he’s a gentleman of the old school,he doesn’t c…[Read more]

Obama will be remembered as the first black president.That’s it.

He may  well have been a better man than John McCain or Romney,just as he seemed at the time,but that’s a fairly low bar.

If he had really cared about his legacy,he would have done more for working people and less for the banks,and he wouldn’t have devoted his return to privat…[Read more]

There are plenty of reasons to disparage Joe Biden and not want him as president,but this isn’t one of them.

I grew up in the South(West Virginia)and the Midwest (Ohio) and  in Ohio there has never been any shortage of bad names for black people or anybody else.”Roach”was not among them.

That’s right,there’s more racism in the Northand M…[Read more]

Impeachment doesn’t even mean anything anymore except “We’re mad at this person because they won and our candidate lost.”

That’s what the Clinton impeachment was about.Who cared about his private life,slimy though it was and is?Some Republicans at the time flat out said it—it was revenge for Nixon.

And this one is revenge for Bill,and fo…[Read more]

How you can tell that cow is lying is when she breathes.

That woman is a monster.Trump is no prize,but she would have been a thousand times worse.

I danced a jig when she lost.

Trump may not be personally honest,but he is honest about imperialist intentions.For that alone,the system hates him.He lacks the smoothness of the professional class about such things.

More sleight of hand .

Actually,she represents the archetypal narcissistic mother…a Mommie Dearest type.

And Joe represents the slightly loopy Uncle Joe the kids know to stay away from…not because he’d physically harm them,but because he’s mean and condescending.My husband had an uncle like this.

That summer was probably the high water mark of Socialism in America,although Norman Thomas remained an important voice for years.
