POTUS 45:55: Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!

It should have worked, but human nature being what it is, the mandarins kept the money instead of letting more coin slip thru their fingers.

However, I am not in favor of creating a tax collection behemoth to redistribute wealth. That just keeps more $$$ in Washington (or WVA) that should go out to the taxpayers and picks winners and losers.

Those poor, poor Republicans. It’s not their fault - who could have seen this failure of their good intentions coming? Oh, right - friggin everybody, including the Republicans themselves. They absolutely knew - wealth inequality was always a feature, never a bug. The fact that you’re still here pitching it as an unintended consequence speaks volumes about your inability to put reality before ideology.

Jesus was a straight out Commie. Matthew 19:21

Jesus answered, If you want to be perfect, go and sell your posessions, and invest in rental property to overcharge the poor, and you shall have treasure forever on Earth. Then come and follow me.

*Edit* I really need to keep track of the changes I make, I think this is the third or fourth passage I've modified.

Brent, AOC is not radically to the left and no it wasn't that I didn't like your answers it's that you didn't answer too often.

[rufus]

You don't. And I'm not of that crowd. Some think I am. Some think others are. However, they refuse to even think about having a convo unless you are lock and step with them, and that's simply ridiculous. I'm not in the uber left crowd. That does not make me MAGA. It's not an either/or, and that is what frustrates me.

So, why don't you protest the MAGAs with the same vigor and vitriol you use for the "far left"? Instead, you're always going out of you way to find reasons for the way they feel and vote the way they do.

A luxury you never reserve for the "far left".

Re: POTUS 45:55: Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!

There are a lot of conservatives like Rube out there, who think MAGA goes too far by the same degree that say a 70% top marginal rate does.

A lot of these people voted for Dump in 2016 not for Dump but because they were genuinely afraid of Hillary. Either they thought she was radical left or they thought she was a security risk (buttery males).

The concentration camps and kleptocracy and sucking off Putin are too far even for them so they're thinking they might have to vote D this time. Naturally they would like to vote for a "Democrat" who is indistinguishable from Dubya but they understand that isn't possible so they are pushing for a George H W Bush solid righty because to them that really is the "center." You have to consider the source.

Accommodating these people is impossible. For one thing, the far right is latent in Reagan/Bush -- it is their natural evolution. Reagan begot Newt begot Dubya begot Dump. More importantly in the short term, favoring Rubes will turn off so many Democrats that Dump can make it close enough for Putin to steal it again. This is precisely what happened in 2016.

A winning Democratic party does not have a nominee Rube can live with.

That's not quite fair. Yes, in my dream world Bernie is the center and Congressional debates concern whether (left) or not (right) to braise the rich before cooking them. But I recognize there is a legitimate place for a right in our country. Eisenhower was the true right. Buckley was the true far right. They both respected the rule of law. They'd both have confirmed Merrick Garland. They both understood the difference between a democracy-affirming faith and a theocracy-fevered zealotry.

Outside of people who Laffer pays the VAST majority of Economists correctly predicted where Supply Side would get us. But yeah joe is right it is greed not math that caused it to fail

100% correct.

One thing: Anyone who does not do some door-knocking, phone bank calling, or other meaningful form of activism beyond just voting between now and November 2020 has nothing to complain about.

So Al Green gets a pass on "being too agressive" because he's been a rep since 2005, and has "done his time" learning from senior legislators?

He's only been blindly calling for Trump's impeachment since March 2017 without any more evidence than "he fired Comey!"

Unfortunately, I find him jumping straight to an impeachment vote without any hearings WAY more wild than anything AOC has done in the past five months.

Nancy, or a couple potential presidential candidates, might want to round up their coworkers and at least let everyone get on the same chapter of the playbook.

Al has a problem.
He's neither young, nor photogenic, nor female.
Otherwise, you've defined him well

As such, he can't and won't get any camera time.

But then what's that say about the media.

Re: POTUS 45:55: Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!

What did those ladies say that angered Trump so much?

Did they agree with Putin that our system of government was obsolete?

Did they bad mouth veterans who got captured?
