  1. “I wish that on your television screens there might have been a Tom Paine, a Sacco and Vinzetti, an Abraham Lincoln, men who understood the moral imperative and spoke out not just in defense of the unpopular cause, but on attack for what they believed. I don’t believe you’ve been privy to much awareness of the moral imperative. Your….brief years have exposed you to political expedience, to charisma, to the glib, the honeyed, the ancient fictions thrust at you as rhetoric. But rarely, if ever, have you been exposed to naked courage. Rarely, if ever, have you witnessed the sacrifice of career and fortune because a giant must occasionally emerge from midgets. Your lot, and mine, has been an overexposure to the midgets, the angry little men, the perpetual office-seekers, the posturing push-button products of politics build out of plastic and cigar smoke. The hatchet-wielders who generalize all villainy and indiscriminately tag all those in opposition as “subversive”, or stupid, or somehow suspect.” - Rod Serling

  6.  @TheRealpdq  If you believe that the (mis)behavior of another individual impacts MY right to exercise Constitutionally protected behavior (protesting), then you MUST, to be consistent, also believe that the (mis)behavior of, say, a mass shooter impacts YOUR right to own an AR-15.

  11. You don't need to disarm ALL the evil people, just enough to make a difference. The first step is solving a problem is defining it honestly.

  12. Susan Collins will react with appropriately spaced clicks of the tongue.

  13. "President trump started a movement unlike any other."-Well, that one isn't exactly true.

  15. If you're serious about addressing immigration, there are four things that must be done. (List is in no particular order.) 1. Stop the problem from getting worse. That means reinforcing the border in some fashion. 2. Deal with the people who are already here. Either total deportation, total amnesty or something in between. 3. Deal with the employers who are hiring these folks. Let's see some CEO's doing perp-walks. 4. Look at any aspects of our foreign policy that may be contributing to making their countries of origin places that they want to leave. Do any three, but not all four, and the policy will fail.

  16. They're setting up Sanders to lose to trump. Think about boxing.

  17.  @Sideler74  One where every qualified citizen who wants to vote has that encouraged and facilitated. And when that is done the votes are tabulated in an open process with observers from both (or more) parties present. And the candidate who has the most votes wins. Fair enough?

  18. "Never met anybody who voted for Joe Biden." Well, no one who'd admit it to YOU.

  19. One person's "instilling morals" is another person's "indoctrinating". Make up your minds.

  21. "We in this country, in this generation, are – by destiny rather than choice – the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of "peace on earth, good will toward men." That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: "except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." John F. Kennedy-from a speech that was to be delivered on November 22, 1963.

  28. He is an old man. So's trump, Bernie, and Bloomberg.

  31. To be fair, he probably signed with just the "H" because he can't spell his full name.

  32.  @kerri759  They've needed a new token liberal since Alan Colmes died.

  34.  @jimbofergus  Matt Gaetz thinks his girls were 18 because he's counting the nine months they were in the womb.

  36.  True Irony  Since you speak of reality. How does one go about avoiding Kryptonite which is, after all, a fictional substance. Talk about true irony.

  37.  @GGG2OO0  Never gotten into anime but I do read science fiction. Someone once called SF a vaccine against future shock and I've gotta admit that very little that happens in the world surprises me anymore. Space stations, heart transplants, big screen tv, a black president are all things that I encountered long ago on the printed page. Even trump was foretold in "It Can't Happen Here", "The Dead Zone" and "The Hell Candidate". The circumstances that produced him in "The Burning" by James Gunn.

  38. Not even then. Public employees are replaceable.

  40. Election officials did not "change laws", they may have changed procedures and did so after advice of in-house legal people. But hey, put it all on the table. Voter suppression and gerrymandering too. Knee-capping the Post Office, restricting drop boxes, etc.

  41. Laugh-a while you can.

  42. I've not voted for him three times.

  43. He's been disbarred. I think the ship on attorney/client privilege has sailed.

  44. And since he's acknowledged being a nationalist, I guess that makes him a social nationalist or something like that.

  45.  @Kitsuragi556  Thanks for actually getting my point, even if you disagree with it. That's more than many do.

  48. They're not inconsistent. Back in 1980 Carter said "More Americans are working than ever before." Reagan said "More Americans are out of work than ever before." Both statements were true (due to population growth).

  49.  @danielglover1453  It says insurrection or rebellion against the same (meaning the Constitution). Given that the Constitution outlines the expiration date of the presidential term, it is arguable that trump's attempt to, shall we say, overstay his welcome constituted such "rebellion".
