Trump has to get reelected first before this has any chance of happening.

Bernie calls himself of socialist to call attention to himself and differentiate his politics from Democrats and the neoliberals that have dominated that party for several generations. He’s really a Social Democrat or New Deal Democrat who wants to reform capitalism to save it from itself...

Didn’t say I read every post or that I don’t know how to scroll. Most of those you mention don’t post often enough to worry about. Two, udflyer and Yell42, I don’t even recognize. As far as I know Highland Homie has not posted in years.

I don’t have anyone on ignore. I also make a point of reading babe. I appreciate his talent for stream of consciousness. My own posts are stilted and boring in comparison. You can learn something from babe even when you don't agree with his opinions.

Why does only your own economic status have to be of concern? The past decade has been great for myself and anyone able and disciplined enough to make use of compounded earnings. Those that live paycheck to paycheck don’t have that luxury. That’s the crux of why inequality will continue to...

Maybe it plays out differently, but right now anonymous looks to be Jon Huntsman. Sounds just like him. I voted for Huntsman as Utah governor but he does have this same preachy, pious attitude common amongst some self-proclaimed moderates. Moreover, every issue raised in the NY Times by...

Nike online sales are up 31 percent since the Kaepernick campaign. Undue focus on the dip in stock price on the day after the announcement of the campaign is misguided. The market hates uncertainty. If sales continue to be strong, uncertainty fades and Nike stock will soon enough be at all time...

The process itself is not that complicated. The article Red linked to lays it all out in three short paragraphs: ”It begins with the vice president and a majority of the members of the Cabinet, notifying the Congress that the president is no longer capable of performing his duties. At that...

There were a lot of questionable tactics by McCain supporters back in 2008. The Southern Strategy has been used to great effect in helping elect Republican presidential candidates ever since Nixon operatives first conceived and implemented it fifty years ago. Now Republican candidates are boxed...

McCain was criticized periodically throughout his career for using a racist term for his Vietnamese captors although I don’t remember it being an issue during his 2008 campaign for president. I think he was given a pass for the most part because his general character was inclusive and the use of...

Phil was more of a sentimental/past performance pick as this will likely be his last Ryder Cup as a player. Finau is almost certain to get the final captain's pick.

Uumoss is clearly not an alt. Most likely just a starstruck lurker and One Love fan. Also a probable baby talker. What we have here are a bunch of frustrated fantasy geeks jealous of One Love’s superior skills. Don’t let them drive you away One Love!

Siro could be aggressive and did not suffer fools. He spoke his mind in a straight forward manner. Pretty much the opposite of passive-aggressive.

What sanctimonious jabbering. That gets liked and defended by the best Jazzfanz has to offer! No wonder Siro felt the need to take a break.

What about McCain-Feingold? Although largely outdated, bypassed and/or overturned, at the time it was a solid good-faith effort at campaign finance reform and stemming the corrupting influence of money on politics.

Many who identify as conservative (or liberal for that matter) hold sexist and misogynist views. It’s been that way for centuries. That doesn’t make them alt-right. The alt-right movement sprang from white nationalism. It’s an attempt to update and mainstream a supremacist philosophy with a less...

Peterson has fans that are alt-right but is not alt-right himself. He’s an individualist conservative prone to spouting nonsense. Not all conservatives are alt-right. Putting the alt-right label on him is a lazy way to try and discredit him.

How long before this really sinks in? Race as a biological divide is too powerful and comforting for too many for it to be erased in years, let alone decades. "More than 100 years ago, American sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois was concerned that race was being used as a biological explanation for...

This sounds good to me, unfortunately we’re not exactly living in a strong antitrust era. The last major antitrust case to break up an existing corporation was almost twenty years ago against Microsoft and the government ended up settling the case. Close to zero chance Trump’s Justice Department...

Probably best to wait and see how case law develops before writing new protections that may not be necessary. Has Apple had to pay out on a single libel lawsuit? I have to say as an Apple stockholder I’m not too worried.
