I have a hunch there isn’t anything Bernie could do that would be enough for some.  If he acted the way some want, he would have been out of politics decades ago. He pushes as far as he can.  When he says, “She understands what it takes to stand up for working people, fight for health care for all,” he is daring her to live up to that.  It wo…[Read more]

@sonofspy777  “Bernie figured he could do more good ALIVE, than dead in a small plane “accident”.
I think he’s right.  Don’t you?”

Yes and I am disappointed in those that are so quick to throw him under the bus for not acting like a Kamikaze pilot.

Before he made the decision to run in 2016 he spoke out and said something like: “I am willing t…[Read more]

@incognito I agree tyranny is here.  Best of luck to you.

@incognito I greatly respect your reasoning. But what actions are you going to take to fight this march to tyranny?  I am fighting on the local level hoping to get progressive developed from the local level up. As futile as it is, I see no other option.

@retiredliberal  Why would she be suicided now?  Why wait until she is in custody?

@thouArtThat I bet she will not die in jail/prison.  It doesn’t make sense. If someone was afraid of what she knew they should have taken care of it long ago.  After Epstein’s adventure I would think she has a black book to be released if she is murdered.  I think Trump has told her he would pardon her.

I learned a lot from DU. Up to the run up to 2016 we all seemed to agree that Bush was the devil. But as we approached 2016 the battle lines were drawn and the Admin was firmly behind HRC and the Neo-Liberal Dem Establishment. Those that spoke out against them were attacked and bullied.

But I learned how to deal with bullies, thanks to DU.  I…[Read more]

@Bernice_Ta  I asked my wife what Tik-Tok was and she told me “It’s for young people”.  Should I take that as an insult?

The country is in trouble in either case. We are marching toward tyranny and just like in Germany, people will let it come.

“Three US Defense Department officials told CNN…”  But what does Maddow say?

@ohiobarbarian you say the military would stop him and Trump knows it. You are much wiser than I and are probably correct, but…..

Trump is an idiot and doesn’t know shit from shoepolish.  I am not worried about Trump but am worried about the oligarchy establishment and whose side the CIA/NSA and military are on.  Tyrants (the oligarchy) will p…[Read more]

@beeninthewoods I think that even progressives are allowed to snicker at a pompous  asshole that knows nothing about what he is talking about.

@mizzGrizz – You think that not having authority will stop Trump? First of all I bet the Patriot Act can be construed to give him authority. Second of all who would stop him? Pelosi shaking her finger? Third, don’t think that this push into tyranny is being orchestrated by Trump the idiot. He is merely a tool of the plutocratic oligarchy that…[Read more]

Hold everything. I only have one problem with this, ok two problems with it:

Does this mean Rachel Maddow was lying to us for 2 years?

Does this mean the whole Mueller investigation was just a sham?  And from such a man of high standards?

Has any independent news agency carried this story?

Once again we see the NYT carrying water for the neo-liberal establishment.  Biden can’t be allowed to debate, hell he won’t even answer reporters question if they aren’t scripted.
