  1. I don't know if she's my favourite candidate yet, but I'd love to see her on the debate stage. She's such a good speaker.

  2. Betsy's not tired of the disgust, she loves it.

  3. I think even a non Jewish person can say "that's not anti semetic" about someone saying "it's all about the Benjamins" when it was in the context of foreign policy and lobbyists. Unless I'm missing something? Does the name "Benjamin" have a connotation I'm not aware of?

  4. Bernie isn't an old white man. He's a legend. Why are we even talking about Joe Biden? He's not a candidate. Fyi Trevor loves Bernie. He's made it clear a few times. Before Bernie even declared, he wailed "Where's Bernieeeeeee?!" at his audience.

  5. He should just say "no takesies backsies!"

  6. He went to Fox because he's Gangstah. Full stop.

  7. This is what really hurts trump. You can call him stupid, he doesn't care. You can make fun of his face, he doesn't care. You can call him a white supremicist, he doesn't care (and he's a Trump supremicist, clearly oringe). He cares desperately about winning at golf, winning at Twitter and winning at grandstanding. He ran for president to gain followers. He probably thinks Russian bots are to blame for the loss of followers.

  8. He says "spirituality" like it's a word from a foreign language.

  9. I do love her.

  10. Super happy fun? Isn't that the literal meaning of "gay".

  11. It might be necessary to do an Auditing America type situation where people try to bring the supplies and film the whole process.

  12. Marianne Williamson. It's not only the fact that she can quote the Bible, the Talmud, the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther king, and Nelson Mandela, and tie it all together, and apply it to public policy. It's not only the fact that she knows the history of America at a federal level, she also knows the history state by state, it's that there are no cue cards or prompters! This is all in her head! She remembers it, and can rattle it all off at a moment's notice, because she lives and breathes it. She understands what connects to what, and why it's relevant. Am I crazy for thinking these are precisely presidential qualities?

  13. I don't think he can pronounce her name even!

  14. Again.

  15. I thought Congress had the right to subpoena the IRS directly. I thought that's what they were doing. I've been wondering what the hold up is.

  16. Begone Trumpbot!

  17. It was actually Trevor who made me love Bernie.

  18. We could move him off too.

  19.  @TheMoonKingdom  💖💖💖 I have to say, it's refreshing to see so many good candidates.

  20. She's so cool! Thank you for covering this!

  21.  @Sleeping_Insomiac  Why? Who says bums wear hair curlers? Regardless of opinion about what a particular get up symbolises, which is highly subjective. In a free society people have freedom of expression. If they don't, it's not a free society. That's also something for children to learn.
    3
  22.  @Sleeping_Insomiac  Exactly. Death threats, and hate speech have foreseeable consequences. They are actually not even freedom of expression because they're simply an attempt to negate something. I think you run into trouble when you start trying to police symbolism. You think hair curlers and stained nighties promote laziness. I do not. Neither are promoting harm against others either way. I would support someone's right to wear a clown costume and religious items even. If you ask me, the line is where something is directly harmful. I don't consider seeing something a bit strange, as a child, to be harmful. Especially when an effort is made on the part of teachers and parents to explain to children that everyone dresses a bit different because people have different cultures and circumstances. I think it's our job to explain to children what is right in terms of getting along with each other amicably, but not too explain what is right and wrong in terms of personal choices. For society to evolve, children must also be given the space to form their own conclusions. It terms of what is legislated and what rules are enforced, I think people in authority have no business dictating about style, religion, or aesthetic matters. But the have a responsibility to prevent harm. There's always going to be debate about what that means, but I tend to think children who are exposed to more varieties of experiences at a young age, come out more informed, within reason of course.

  23.  @Sleeping_Insomiac  "Universal grounds"is the term that worries me in your statement. Who decides what those are? Who decides what universal good values are? The cooperative nature of communities is not, in my opinion, served by homogeny. You need humility, and you need a certain amount of ego also.

  24.  @Sleeping_Insomiac  No. But in that case there are health considerations. There's a reasonable consequence of quantifiable harm. Your position about individuality is valid, as a philosophy of life. I just don't think it should be legislated. I see society like a tree. You need the support system of the trunk, which could be viewed as the protections in place to preserve life and liberty. The branches represent the freedoms of expression which need room to flourish. I only think the branches should be pruned if they're causing harm to the tree, or to other trees (other societies). I think you're suggesting that a slovenly parent is like a diseased branch, which I don't think is the case. I do think someone who didn't bathe might reach that level though.

  25.  @Sleeping_Insomiac  I'm sorry I'm going to infuriate you probably, (but I'm enjoying our discussion) but I actually think a lot of what is wrong these days in not enough individualit! 😂 All these narcissistic selfies on Instagram, I actually think are symptomatic of conformity rather than individuality.

  26. Welcome home! ❤️☮️❤️

  27. Yup, in Canada there's an automatic stop payment executed by a bot.

  28. At least she was able to overcome the Kamala Harris filibuster, and get reparations onto the National Debates stage last cycle.

  29. I watched her speech from when she declared. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I was riveted.

  30.  @nextchancenow7153  Yeah, you're probably right.

  31.  @GottaWannaDance  But I do think she has a point that human beings are fundamentally spiritual, and when the government is putting children in cages and planting evidence to start a war in Venezuela to get their oil, we have to see it as at least a moral crisis of not a spiritual one. She was asked in one interview what spirituality had to do with politics and in her answer she stated that people's apathy about voting shows a disconnect between voters and politics and the way politicians speak to their constituents. Basically her answer was, "how is it not spiritual?"

  32.  @BettyWhiteTheVibratorSlayer  I'm pretty sure she's in favour of that separation.
    2
  33.  @Megablueliner1  Why though?
    2
  34.  @WindFireAllThatKindOfThing  Nah, not her. She's been working on supporting grass roots candidates since 2020. I get that that's the picture the media paints, but I've been following since her last run, and dug into her background. I see quite a different picture.

  35.  @michaelmeandros551  I remember a ruling where they said that money was freedom of speech. That was grotesque.
    2
  36.  @michaelmeandros551  Okay thank you for writing that out Michael. I really appreciate the effort. I remember in 2019 Marianne did talk about Citizens United, and said that it probably wouldn't be easy to repeal it any time soon, but that she wanted to submit legislation to congress to establish publicly funded federal campaigns. I don't know enough about it to know why repealing that ruling would be so tricky, but for what it's worth, she did mention it, and said it would be a something she wanted to address her first day in office.

  37.  @LinasMuliolisC21Homestar  Well we're friends on that point Linas.

  38.  @NorthernSeaWitch  His presidency had certainly revealed the cracks in the system hasn't it? I didn't realise the treasury secretary could do that.

  39. Don't trust the polls. They've been wrong every election. They like to keep us thinking one way, and then pull out a plot twist.

  40. I've heard her say she intends to win.

  41. This is gold!

  42. Big love .

  43. Debates are essential in America, no matter the party.

  44. Reparations for slavery, Peace department, publically funded political campaigns. No PAC money. That one.

  45. When Trump was in office Williamson had actually suggested that kidnapping was a possible crime that had been committed with the ice facilities.

  46. Because she's not. She's one of the few candidates from last time, who's professional record reflected her policies, and she means what she's saying.
    2
  47. She Ran last time. She had a lot of similar policies to Bernie, but she was also in favour of reparations and wants to establish a department of peace. She's an amazing speaker.

  48. Don't let those bastard's get you down! We fight those stuffy stuffed shirts!

  49. Sheesh I thought they were being mean to Marianne. This comments section is worse.
    2
  50. Why pretend she's not? She knows history. She has done a ton of work in political spheres both as a philanthropist and as an activist. Her list of policies is huge and detailed. Also from my perspective her stage presence wipes the floor with most of the democratic representatives.
