@prodygy I agree! Everytime I hear some commentator state that "most Democrats" don't want Joe to run in 2024, I go ballistic. Who are these Dems?

Sure, his age is not optimal but his EXPERIENCE is what we need right now. Last night made that clear as day. You are not born with that tool, age is the only way to get there.

Once the threat of Trump passes, there are an entire raft of possible Dem candidates I'd support. #Newsom2028 💜

They don’t cheer for 12 million new jobs. They don’t cheer for quality education, expanded health care or billionaires paying the same tax rate as firefighters. They surely don’t cheer for democracy. Once again, the Republicans told us what kind of America they want.

NEW: I went to DC on 12/12/20 to track the Proud Boys, but the most interesting & complicated person I found was Ali Alexander.

He built the infrastructure for protest movement that brought hundreds of thousands of rage-filled Trump supporters to DC.

Alexander has hedged some of his provocative rhetoric by saying that he's "prone to hyperbole."

But he's on record as saying, "I started a riot for the sitting president of the United States."

HOW DARE YOU CALL US EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS!!

Tracking a discussion on the other site about a new rule in a FL school district in Osceola county, where students are forbidden to bring their own books to school. If another child is "exposed" to non-approved material brought in, the child with the non-approved material can be reprimanded.

Trying to find out if this has been published anywhere and can be confirmed.

@pluralistic
When the US Constitution was written, the only entity that one could imagine have more power than the government was the Church. (In 1789, corporations were very rare, limited in purpose, and often of had limited duration.)

Corporations, as we know them today, were creations of legislatures *after* the Constitution was written. These artificial entities should not be seen as having any more "rights" than other creations of a legislature.

Corporations aren't people.

@rbreich any questions?

It is frankly astonishing to read about how billionaires can get away with paying a lower tax rate than teachers, nurses, and firefighters.

Is this really the kind of country we want to live in?

@rbreich RepubliCONS deceive, divide & destroy… Democrats deliver!

Well, that's new: The Trump White House asked Twitter to remove a Chrissy Teigen tweet calling Trump a "pussy ass bitch." Twitter allowed it under its 'insults' policy, which allows three insults per tweet. It now has 100,000 retweets and 680,000 ‘likes.’

@willoremus Pretty sure Biden wasn’t in office in 2020, which puts a pretty serious wrinkle in their “collusion” timeline.

The thing about watching a Congressional committee in full -- not in sound bytes -- is that it becomes very apparent that the most bombastic members are not able to actually deliver a complete and intelligible question or comment
