  1. The reason that "nobody has ever seen numbers like this before" is they don't exist.

  2. People learn about Trump's presidency for the same reason people learn about the Holocaust, to prevent something like that ever happening again.

  3. And the teeth sucking "tsk" sound. The thing my guy, Dror, does that drives me nuts, is throwing in "OK" ten times in a sentence.

  4.  @starscreamofvos  The evidence that humans are evolutionarily omnivores is undisputable. Claiming we are not evolved from meat eaters is like claiming Biden did not win the election, truly delusional.

  5. Things are so much better these days. When I was a child, people would smoke in grocery stores, flicking their ashes on the floor. The mother driving car pool smoked. They smoked in planes and restaurants. Oh, we got a no smoking section. As if the smoke obeyed the barrier. They smoked at work, like those cubicles they put us in would stop the smoke. And it wasn't just Texas, it was the whole world. You're correct, people need to be a bit more considerate.

  6. It's true that he created his own certification board, but he was also certified by the American Board of Ophthalmologists, which is the normal certification board. What I find weird is, after med school and internship, he did an OB/GYN residency, but became an ophthalmologist.

  7. Question, how much help did McCarthy give Pelosi, when she was Speaker, and the squad was making it difficult for her to get the country's work done? He should have expected the same help he gave, none.

  8. Wow, just wow, do you two realize how racist you sound? I know several black know-it-alls who will ruin any family gathering, it is not a function of color. Also, I have found that intelligent, well-informed people, of any color, tend to blow their own horn far less than the ignorant ones.

  9. Maybe she wasn't as crazy then. Guiliani didn't used to be loony tunes. Trump seems to suck the intelligence out of people, like a mental vampire.
    27
  10. But, you vote on Saturday, which means observant Jews can't vote. I like our system in Oregon better. We all vote by mail, and can do it at our convenience. All we really need to do, to raise voter participation, is to get rid of the Electoral College. I know plenty of people in heavily blue or red states, who feel their vote won't matter. If there were a popular vote, a lot more people would vote. And I would never eat an sausage of unknown origin. Too much like something out of a Terry Prachett novel.
    23
  11. Complete sentences, proper syntax, and a coherent thought, things we never see in the current denizen of the White House.
    21
  12. How? Do you think he could be shamed into doing so? The Coke can guy? Really?

  13. The difference between Cuomo and Northum, is the Virginia governor is a nice guy who did something stupid, and the people who should have been the most upset, black people in Virginia, didn't want him to resign. Nobody thinks Cuomo is a nice guy. And who really thinks Cuomo didn't know exactly what he was doing, when he put the moves on women, his daughters' age.
    20
  14. It was really scary. I know a lot of black people think a white person won't get it, but any minority can relate to the feeling that something is going on that you are not privy to, and it won't be good for you.

  15. Dude, when you have to come up with eight gifts each year, one night is going to be socks.

  16. You left out "sir". Those big strong men always call him "sir". "Mr. president, sir, thank you, sir."
    19
  17. Towel charms? Really? What's wrong with buying beach towels in different designs and colors? This is a crappy solution to a nonexistent problem. She obviously has too much time on her hands; maybe she should volunteer to read to children in a library, be a teacher's aide in a school, or help out in a soup kitchen.

  18.  @Jreyes1227  Nobody is killing babies. At six weeks, the fetus you're so concerned about, is indistinguishable from that of any other mammal, bird, lizard or fish. It is not repeat, not a baby !
    17
  19.  @aw3821  I went through something similar, 3 weeks without electricity after a snowstorm. We put the children in the bed between us, piled on the blankets, and kept them warm with our own body heat. The cats joined us too. I boiled water on the gas stove, in a vain attempt to keep our younger daughter's tropical fish alive.

  20.  @FallenOne669  Trump's hair looks more like a kindergarten paste project.

  21. You can't handle the truth, eh?

  22. I live with one. He has a PhD in biochemistry, so I can't even reassure myself he is too stupid to get it. He has been brainwashed by Fox. The BS he spouts is right out of Hannity's mouth, but when I respond and tear his nonsense down plank by plank, he fakes heart arrhythmia.

  23. T. rubrum usually takes hold in immuno-compromised individuals, like pregnant ladies or those with a bad diet. It is easily cured, but a stubborn infection needs medical care. I hope this fool gets ringworm or athlete's foot and tries to pray it away.

  24. My daughter, Shoshanna, was so happy when Girls came out, because people stopped asking her if I'd made up her name. She was not best pleased by how ditzy the character was though.

  25.  @blueberriesandpickle  Rowling isn't transphobic. She's just honest. And that drives dishonest people crazy.

  26. Guiliani thinks the idea of using epidemiology on cancer is funny. Yet, one way we know if fracking is putting toxins into the water table is, there are clusters of cancer in children and livestock near a fracking site. And other cancers are caused by viruses, which are contagious. Think of HPV. When someone tests positive for such a STD, contact tracing is standard. It just shows how little Guiliani knows.

  27. It doesn't matter how many ballots come to your home, since each registered voter can only vote once. Any subsequent ballot, from the same person, is rejected.

  28. I agree with Goldstein, what we call football is really American rugby, you move the damned oblong with your hands. Growing up in rural California, I detested sports because it was all pointy ball and baseball. Finally a football (the real football) official talked me into watching him officiate, by promising me that the game was finite, not timeout after timeout. I was willing to commit to two 45 minute half, and maybe a 10 minute overtime. But I don't understand his being confused by baseball, it is a lot less baroque than cricket. Several times, I asked friends what the rules of that game were, and the most obtuse explanation I ever got was "You put nine stones in your pocket, and each time the sides change you move a stone to another pocket. When all the stones have been moved, you go drink."

  29.  Axl Dave  'Ignorant hypocrites on the left'? You do know that college educated people are more likely to vote Democratic, don't you? And the hypocrisy of saying you're pro-life, while taking away health care and doing nothing about an impending pandemic, is just a small part of the hypocrisy on the right.
    12
  30.  @Jreyes1227  Are you saying a woman must marry her rapist, like the Taliban does? If you're so into responsibility, I hope you've had a vasectomy.

  31.  @Marijuanifornia  Read the room. Anyone who was an adult, when Clinton was president, knew the majority of the country was not ready for legalization, much of it still isn't. And this is coming from someone who signed every legalization petition since the late 1970s.
    10
  32. Clinton is both literate and articulate, Trump is neither. Whose book would you rather read?

  33. A sewer overflows. Fifteen people walk by and say "Oh gosh, the sewer is overflowing". The Truth Channel overhears the last and tells him he is just repeating talking points. Just because something is obvious, doesn't make it false.

  34. I would have just rolled my eyes. But then, I was the kid who refused to say the 'under god' part of the pledge.

  35. My mom's from Missouri, she also pronounced the first syllable with a long "i". But then, she "warshes" the clothes.

  36. Because Theodore Geisel lived in La Jolla, every year he'd tour the grade schools in that part of California. I still remember his visits to our school's library. (This was in the 1960s.) I loved watching him draw, turning fellow students into characters.

  37. Las Vegas, NM is much older than Las Vegas, NV. My grandmother was born there in the 19th century.

  38.  @thomaswilliams3882  I love how red states don't take care of the drug addicts they produce. Then, those struggling people move to an area that does take care of those with problems, and the same selfish people in red states say, look at how terrible that city in a blue state is. A survey of the homeless in San Francisco showed that the majority came from Texas. So the problem isn't what's wrong with California, but what's wrong with Texas.

  39. Complete with Krystalnacht in Los Angeles.

  40. We have no input in what you do either. That's the way citizenship works.

  41.  @TCt83067695  You're giving a nobody credit for her work, which was begun long before the nobody was born.

  42. That's OK. I was thinking that RuPaul thing is a fly (Diptera), not a bug (Hemiptera). Seth's insect looks like Coleoptera, also not a bug.

  43. The ironic thing is, the people that would be hurt the most by the demise of the Post Office are those in rural areas, Trump's base. UPS has the cities covered, but rural areas rely upon USPS.

  44.  @STEVENFRYFRY  Conservative states didn't legalize. Besides, there was a disgusting racial component to the laws making it illegal. It is absurd it is a schedule 1 drug.

  45. As a microbiologist/engineer, I totally agree.

  46. I started reading about this novel Coronavirus in mid January (MMWR from CDC), and slowly my panic began to grow, as I saw our government do nothing. I was in Israel at the time, and returned home on February 3. The border agents were taking temperatures of everyone from affected countries, and pulling out those with a fever. So, I felt more secure. But, then I started reading about asymptomatic cases transmitting the disease, and my freak out escalated. I called my daughters, and told them to prepare. My older girl works for Intel, and said several of her co-workers just returned from China, and I told her don't touch anything, there are fomites all over the place. Shortly after that, Intel sent all its workers home. But, still our government dithered.

  47. I don't know. I came home from a vacation to find my son-in-law had laid down brand new carpet for me. That was pretty damned cool.

  48. In a couple of months, we'll all be able to sleep soundly again.

  49. He knew he was being set up as the pasty, and got them all before they could get him. Of course he was giddy. Plus, back home in Portland, he had protesters on his doorstep. After his testimony, they all decamped.

  50. Kloggmonkey: it wouldn't matter if Bernie beat Trump in the debates, Hillary creamed him int the debates, but we still have the orange gonif thanks to the Electoral College, Russian interference, voter suppression, etc.

  51.  @Cathyblj  Post it on your fridge, and you'll lose a lot of weight. He'd put anyone off their feed.

  52. Sorry, his unwitting role in the last Borat movie is still the funniest to me.

  53. Tweets, like hers, make me wish Twitter required a minimum IQ, to use their app, say at least over 100.

  54. Nah, they then piss it all away blowing up the year.

  55. Nah, Colbert and Meyers are actually better without the audience. Especially working with their families, love Colbert's wife's giggle, and Seth's adorable little boys. (Let's forget about the weird little dog though.)
    5
  56. Sane people, of both parties liked Clinton, and thought he was a really good president. He balanced the budget, which no president since has done.
    5
  57. It could be worse. My oldest daughter was born on the first day of Chanukah. And I have a British friend, born on Christmas. He always loved that I'd wish him happy birthday, not caring about the holiday at all.

  58. The government needs to just cut all relief payments to those who are still unvaccinated. No covid relief, no unemployment checks, nada.

  59.  @Spearca  Thank you. The only sane comment in this entire thread. Others just repeat unproven slander.

  60. Pity weed still isn't legal in New York. That would take the edge off of watching that crap.

  61. Sure, and when most of the US wanted to fix our infrastructure, the "progressives" blocked any chance of doing so.

  62. My daughter used to want a Crown Vic, especially a former cop car, but settled for a Prius.

  63. Let's be honest, Bill Maher has been saying Trump wouldn't concede a loss, from the get go. His guests would reassure him that wouldn't happen, but it did.

  65. Ratcliffe is all wrong. His mannerisms and voice are wrong. And despite the curly wig, he doesn't look the part at all. Couldn't they have found an actor who was actually Jewish, not a Brit?

  66.  @notrod5341  The real problem isn't voting for D or R, it's that both parties have been steered right off the rails by the extremists on their fringes, who act like they have a mandate, when the majority of their party are really sane centrists. Both parties won't do anything for the people, but are very busy purging the few sane moderates they have. That's why there are more unaffiliated voters, than belong to either party. Maybe the solution is rank choice voting. Maybe a new centrist party will form, to give a home to the moderate majority, and force both R & D back towards the center. But, as it is now, the government does nothing but draw paychecks for themselves.

  67. He won't last. He keeps obstructing everything. What a disaster. They should have known better.

  68. Because he's a lying Marxist demagogue, who's just as bad as Trump.

  69. Well, since the Israeli government is not killing off the Arabs, your racist lie is slander, and is antisemitic.

  71. Climate change denial seems eerily like the tobacco companies' denial that smoking causes heart and lung disease. They either claim that this is just a normal fluctuation (people have always had heart disease) or that we can't be certain humans are causing it (all the facts on lung cancer aren't in).

  72. Joy Wooldridge - I'm just a smidge younger than you, but grew up in an agricultural town. Not everyone was about peace, love and pot in the 60s. Many people couldn't stand hippies. The high school I went to didn't offer calculus, but did offer ag science, car repair and secretarial skills training. The local college had a lot of ag majors, and they used to drive their pickups into town and lasso any guy with long hair, then drag him behind their truck for a bit. These people, and their children, and many other like them, are the one who support Trump. You know what your learn. (And frankly, most of the hippies could have used a bit more soap. It really pissed a lot of people off to be lectured by someone who dressed like a bum and didn't bother to shave or bathe.) I got a STEM degree from a university in LA, but most of the people I grew up with were left behind. They had a good way of life, but can't adapt to the changes that took it away. The education they got sure didn't prepare them.

  73.  Axl Dave  Some people don't consider lying to the IRS smart. And gauging from how well he writes, Darius is much more intelligent than that prevaricating fool in the Oval.

  74.  @gerardsmadja1323  You do know Russian oligarchs get their fortunes at Putin's pleasure, and if they do not toe the line, find themselves poor or imprisoned, don't you. Many intelligence and diplomacy experts have stated that Russian oligarchs act under Putin's direction. Anything Russian oligarchs or gangs do, should be considered to be at Putin's direction. Read any of Malcolm Nance's books, or Rachel Maddow's latest book.

  77.  The Gonad  Most Democratic supporters are really saying things like "we must protect the rule of law and the Constitution", not orange man bad. Nor are most calling schoolyard names, like so many Trump supporters.

  78. That Miami Vice style wasn't from Miami, it was from Los Angeles. All the clothing came from Sy Devore in the SF valley. Lenny Freedman (my late father-in-law) picked all the clothes that both of the lead actors wore.

  79. At least you didn't have to stand in line, only to find the punch cards for the class you wanted was being held by a student volunteer for their friends.

  80. Sure, and if people had been told, in 1955, that the guy, from Bedtime for Bonzo , would become president, and remove all the regulation meant to prevent another Depression, the would have laughed too.

  81.  @redseven485  Oh gag. Meryl Streep is sooooo fake. She and Nicholson are always too over the top, to be believable. I prefer an actor who can make you forget he's acting.

  82. Except that is a complete lie. They vote the majority of the time with their party. You don't get to redefine words, Humpty Dumpty. They are centrists, moderates.

  86.  @kshuf8426  No, if a sane person, who cares about the welfare of others, like Biden or Clinton, were president we would still have some deaths, but it would be more like five or ten thousand, not 233,130 !

  87.  Allison  Or more likely, a lot of their dealings involved the Russian and Jersey mobs. If he talked, they would physically hurt his family.

  90. Do you honestly think Sanders would be doing so well, if Russia were not supporting him? I can't even be sure you aren't a Russian troll.

  91.  @crittermama  That's because respect goes both ways. McCain showed respect for others, even for Obama when he was running against him. McCain put together many bipartisan trips overseas, and there are a good number of Democratic senators who remember them with great fondness. His best friend was a staunch Democrat.
    3
  92. Anyone who did not see this corruption coming after the Citizens United decision, wasn't paying attention. The problem is, if the other guy is spending millions of dollars, you put yourself at a disadvantage being pure. We need drastic campaign finance rules and regulations to even the field.

  95. No more confusing than when I worked for a British firm, and was told I had a ladder in my stockings, or when I told told one of my fellow programmers he had a nasty rip in the back of his pants.

  96.  @robertalan4717  The common cold is not spread by asymptomatic individuals. The common cold does not damage the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, and other organs like this virus does. Even those who survive it are often left with deleterious effects for the rest of their lives. Covid-19 may be from the same family of viruses, but it is nothing like it.

  97. Clinton got a majority of votes. The ludicrous idea that Sanders was "robbed" is more Russian propaganda.

  98.  @Joecal3  Murray is a jerk! He and Ramis fell out, because Murray's personal problems almost ruined Groundhog Day. There was an interview, of the two of them, just before Ramis died, and he was having problems even speaking, but of course, Murray had to talk over him. May Ramis's memory be a blessing.

  102.  @arniec66  He resigned because of bogus claims of sexual harassment, from a devote Republican, with an axe to grind. I think sexual harassment is terrible, but this woman's claims were made for purely political reasons.

  103. You're insane. We are extremely fortunate to have Manchin. No other Democrat could be elected in his state, and then McConnell would still be in control. As to Sanders, the man who said the government should control the means of transportation, manufacture and banking, no thanks. We say that experiment, in several countries, and it was always terrible for the people. Sanders never met a Marxist totalitarian dictator he did not love and support, no matter how violent and repressive.

  114. I grew up in Southern California, where the leaves did not fall down in autumn. For, me, autumn was when the Santa Anas blew, and there were wildfires. We might as well call the season, burn, because that's when the trees burn up. Stop being so parochial.

  115. Nah, moderates just know the GND will do very little to address climate change, and is just social engineering in disguise. A much better plan is what Canada did, institute a carbon tax. It really attacks the problem, and costs the taxpayers less.

  122. The Electoral College doesn't just pervert the vote, it suppresses it as well. Over the years I've been told by several dozen people they aren't bothering to vote because they live in a solid blue or red state, and their vote won't matter. The president should be elected by a direct vote, the reason for the Electoral College (slavery) no longer exists.

  126. Also a Portlander, still upset that the rioters burned down Chabad, and destroyed so much that made this city beautiful. Nobody ever claimed that our city was burned to the ground, but an awful lot was destroyed, like the elk, for no good reason. And we did have to put up with the riots, every night, for months.

  129.  @jzilla1234  When you make Israel live up to standards, that you never hold the people attacking her to, you're being a racist. When you claim Arabs have a right to the Jewish homeland, when they already have 70%, in the form of Jordan, you're a racist. From everything you've written, you don't give a damn about human rights, you just want an excuse for your racism.

  132.  Origami Mambo Project  The problem with online voting is, in order to assure security you have to give up secrecy. With mail in voting, you get both security and secrecy.

  133. Why, when monopolies are discussed, are the cable companies never mentioned? There are only two of them, and in any particular territory, only one is operating. In most of the country, where no fiber-optic line is, the only cable company is the only choice, if you need a quick ISP. And their prices are obscene. Why haven't the cable companies been broken up?

  142. So, I was watching the clip of MTG speaking at a town hall, thinking what sort of uncouth lout speaks at a public forum in short shorts, when she started talking about hypothetical communities that have statues of Hitler and Satan. I do believe, that our girl Marjorie has been watching horror movies, thinking they are documentaries. It would explain a lot.

  145. Gee, who knew that libel and slander isn't protected as a free speech? Like, maybe everyone who stayed awake during civics class in high school. What a shame, "You'd have to be crazy to believe my client", isn't turning out to be a valid defense.

  146. Gee, I'd heard of electrolytes long before sports drinks went on the market. Maybe that's because I worked in a medical lab, from the age of 14, and we tested people to see if their electrolyte balance was out of whack. When someone has severe vomiting and diarrhea, you give them electrolytes. Also, anyone who has ever exerted themselves in hot weather, knows just drinking water is not enough, you need some salt. The only thing wrong with sports drinks is the massive amount of sugar most contain.

  148. Well, Jodie, it's rather like that here in Oregon. We get our voter's information pamphlet and our ballot in the mail. Also for weeks, we get postcards, letters and brochures entreating us to vote a certain way, but those go right into the recycling bin. (My daughters used to tease me for going through the voter's pamphlet like I'm cramming for an exam, but now they do the same.) We then fill out the ballot, sign the envelope, and pop it in the mail.

  149.  @jamedraa8472  My mother was out watering, hose in hand, and they kept pestering her. I think you know what she did next. My son-in-law was raised JW. After exposure to a few Jewish holidays, Sukkot, Pesach, Purim, he quit. He never converted to Judaism. but he and my daughter are keeping a Jewish home, and the holidays he now loves. People need holidays, and all the frivolous decorations and rituals.

  154.  @thesoundsmith  You don't know how correct you are. My first computer programming job, in 1981, was for a major bank. They had an idea box, where employees were encouraged to place any idea they had to generate more funds. The winner would get a whopping $100 reward, yet they used many of the "losing" ideas. We called it the "screw the customer" box.

  155. I think most of us wouldn't mind if Hunter Biden's office were searched, as long as every single office any of the Trump children ever used, were also searched. Yes, Hunter is an embarrassment, but no more of an embarrassment than Eric or Donnie Jr. And Biden didn't make his idiot son part of his office staff, or turn his investments over to him.

(I am hoping for SPD, CDU and FDP, because those are the colors of the German flag. But, SPD, FDP and Green, like the flag of Guinea, is more likely. Or, they could go with the parties with the most seats, the Kenyan coalition.) And then ..... boring old Guiliani. <sigh>

  173. Since many cancers, especially leukemias, are often caused by environmental toxins, the same methods used to trace infectious disease is often used for those cancers. A company gets sloppy with slippery water for fracking, it ends up in the ground water, a couple of years later there is a rash of children and pets dying from cancer.

  174. We don't have martial law in Portland. What we have is unending violence and theft. The asshole rioters even came into the Jewish neighborhood to attack anyone they thought was Jewish, throwing illegal fireworks at them. These scum have ruined a 120 year old statue of an elk. They have terrorized us for over 50 days. And the mayor does nothing. These are not peaceful protesters, they are unlawful thugs, like Nazis. Everyone they arrested was videoed destroying property or attacking police. I don't feel sorry for them at all. They are camped out in the parks, spreading feces and trash.

  179.  @amberts180  What you are ignoring is, once a store owner has had their store burned down, the insurance rates become too high to pay. My grandfather established a grocery store in a Jewish neighborhood that gradually became a black neighborhood. The first time his store was burned down in a riot, he rebuilt, feeling the neighborhood needed food. The second time he was uninsured because of the high premiums. He left for the suburbs. The neighborhood is a food desert to this day. It is not just the store owners who are hurt by this unexcusable crime, but the people who need the store. If you can't see how terrible and counterproductive burning and looting is, you're the one with more issues than can be helped.

  186.  @alexmason8557  All the vaccines we have are on platforms that existed before Trump took office. Most were developed to immunize against oncoproteins, so we could treat cancer by activating our own immunes systems, rather than the current poison, cut and burn methods of treatment. The government money only went to production, not development, regardless of which government did the funding.

  187. There was this truly lame programmer, like that, in grad school. We assigned modules, designed the interfaces, and went home to code our modules. We all met in two weeks, ready to link our modules, but this turd didn't show up. So we dummied up the interfaces for what he was supposed to have code, and tested what we had, and debugged it. We called him, and he said he'd have it ready next week, two days before the project was due. He finally showed up, the code didn't compile, the interfaces were all wrong, and it couldn't link with what we'd done, even after fixing the compiler errors. So, we wrote all he was supposed to have done ourselves, in an hour, linked, tested, and debugged the work. Then we went to the professor, and told him what had happened. The prof threw him out of the group and flunked him. It's really hard to get an F in grad school. I knew this moron worked with my husband, and asked how well he programmed. He said that he couldn't code, so they put him on developing the style sheet. A programmer, who couldn't code, got to dictate the style of everyone else's code. Sometimes the worst people find a way to be in charge.

  210. Chris Wallace is amazing. He may be a conservative, but that doesn't mean he cuts, those with an 'R' after their name, any name. Pompeo is a pompous ass.

Biden may have mess up the withdrawal of troops, but Trump was the one who set the stage.

The only person who was hurt by his dalliance was his wife, who forgave him. A lot of leaders, that are still idolized today, had a piece on the side, like JFK and FDR. Clinton was a damn good president, not perfect, as no person is, but still very good. I'd rather a president who governs well, but can't keep his pants zipped, than one whose presidency is a disaster, and is faithful to his wife.

When a fuzzy studies major, like poly sci or sociology, takes a science class, they get a special dumbed down class. When a science major takes a fuzzy studies class, not only were we in the same class, as those who were majoring in the field, those fuzzy studies majors whined that we brought the curve up too high.

  257. And how much money did they spend, over 15 years, to develop the platform. That money went to shoes for the children of PhDs, and houses smaller than what most Americans have.

  258. If you think that all the people, who supported Trump, are racist, and supported him for racist reasons, you really don't understand the magnitude of the problem. An uneducated person used to be able to live comfortably in this country. Now that is no longer true. Companies only employ people part time, so they don't have to pay for benefits. This causes unskilled workers to work two or three jobs, and they barely get by. Trump took a page from Sanders' book, and told them they were suffering because illegal aliens were stealing their jobs. That is why they are anti-immigration, not racism, but a dire economic situation. The cause and effects are far more complicated, but that is what a populist demagogue does, assign blame on one group, and give a simplistic answer. A real solution would be to undo everything Reagan did, to recodify the tax structure, to make it more progressive again, restore the safety net, change labor laws so part time workers get benefits, restore pension plan requirements, and impose stiff fines on employers who hire illegal workers.

  265. When this horrible woman was up for confirmation for the appellate court, Feinstein said "The dogma is strong within you", and was soundly castigated for attacking her faith. It was a legitimate comment, as religion is supposed to stay out of the functioning of our country. So, Feinstein was told to play nice this time, and she did. Now, idiots are on her case for doing that. If she had mentioned what a bad choice this dogmatic woman is for SCOTUS, she would be reamed for that.

  267. If a Puerto Rican is cast in a part, the woke are angry, just because her skin is too light for the part. Yet, there is no outcry when a WASP is cast in a Jewish part. Just slap a fright wig on him, and there you go. It's like blackface, but nobody cares.

  278. I'm sure that Meyers wouldn't donate his entire salary for the last 15 years to charity, yet he thinks its a good idea to just give away the IP resulting from over 15 years of research. If they are forced to do that, bio-pharm companies will be unable to get any investment for future research. Nice way put a lot of good scientists out of their jobs. Did someone with a PhD in biochemistry or immunology steal his lunch money? Why does he think such a stupid idea is good?

  282. It wasn't a "lack of one healthcare" but a lack of tests. As to our "internet systems" you clearly haven't tried to avail yourself of the internet in a foreign country. eg. In Kiryat Gat, Israel they have laid high speed fiber optic cable in the new parts of town, but just by Intel and the other big companies. In a brand new apartment, walking distance from Intel, the only way one can get internet is through a TV cable company.

  285. Every time Trump says nobody could imagine a fatal epidemic, I think of the Hong Kong flu. That was in 1968-1969, and killed millions of people. He was a young man then, surely he has some memory of it. I don't expect an illiterate to read about the Spanish flu, but he lived through the last pandemic. Why doesn't he remember it?

  289. Who determines what corrupt is. The Republicans impeached Clinton for not talking about an affair with a consenting adult. They considered him corrupt. Now, with the peccadillos, bribe acceptance, and general thuggish behavior of the current president, the GOP acts like he is clean. We may take all three houses of power this year, but times change, and the Republicans might be in power with a Democratic president again. If you give them the power to declare all his appointments and actions null and void, they will use it.

  290. Yeah, we've been in Afghanistan for 20 years. How long have we been in Korea or Germany? Considerably longer. I wasn't even alive when our troops were first stationed in those countries, and I'm old. Also, I can't believe I'm defending Graham, but he was against precipitously pulling out, when Trump said he was doing so, as well. At least he's consistent.

  303. Sorry, but it is false to claim "Texas is a historically red state". Texas was historically a Democratic state, because it was a slave state and would never vote for someone from the Party of Lincoln. Even in 1976 it went for Jimmy Carter, and elected a Democratic governor in 1990. True, since Carter it has selected a Republican in the presidential election, but that is a fairly recent, not historical trend.

  310. Remember, this is the same party who impeached a Democratic president, for a legal, if tacky, affair. And yet, they felt it was uncalled for to impeach their guy for damaging our national security, by blackmailing another country, in order to obtain a political favor.

  311. Yeah right, let's give Trump the credit for the vaccine. But, first, let him tell us what the "m" in mRNA stands for. Then, let him explain gene expression and protein synthesis. Hey Trump, what exactly is the endoplasmic reticulum? Let him tell us why the mRNA vaccines need to be inside lipid nano-capsules. If, and only if, he can explain all that, and how the immune system works, can that moron even start to take credit for the vaccines.

  322. I have a vague recollection of a Saturday kid's show about postal inspectors. USPIS is actually the oldest law enforcement agency in the US, dating from 1772. They have a forensics lab and a 500 man police force. And the main thing they go after is fraud, so arresting Bannon was on point.

  324.  @S.Pociecha  Since the name is spelled דבורה and the "ב" can be a "b" or a "v", depending on the presence of a dagesh, Deborah is close enough to Devorah. It's certainly a closer approximation than Rebecca is to Rivkah, or Samuel is to Shmuel. Debbie isn't such a weird nickname for Deborah, not when the nickname for Yaacov is Kobi.

  333. Kirin Fellwinter The Electoral College was originally a way to appease slave states. So whatever purpose it had is gone. Now it only serves to give more power to underpopulated states. As to gerrymandering, there already exists a computer program which can divvy up districts in a completely unbiased manner. But, one cannot expect the GOP to give up their unfair advantage. http://autoredistrict.org/
