I'm very impressed that the entire Democratic Establishment has coalesced around STOP BERNIE AND HIS HYPEREVIL SUPPORTERS. Even earthworms can learn; but not the Democratic Establishment, it seems.
@mattyglesias Math sez that’s $30k per homeless American. Would help one hell of a lot.
Counterpoint : homeless people don’t have a lobbying organization with enormous bank to hand to politicians.
@Jeff_Jacoby The middle class never did better than the mid 70s when union membership peaked. As union membership dropped, real wages dropped.
There is corruption in any large organization. Unions are like capitalism: they both can lead to abuses, but they are better than any alternative
@Jeff_Jacoby Israel is doing the same thing the US did after 9/11. And it will have the same results: huge numbers of slaughtered innocents and the enemy will win.
Well done.
@EndTribalism Of course it was an insurrection, at least according to what that word means in the English language, and thise who led it should be in jail, not running for president.
Perhaps you are not a native English speaker and don’t understand what the word instruction means?
@EndTribalism RFK Jr. might just save America! I am so, so thankful for what this man is doing!
By siphoning Trump votes he will ensure Biden a second term.
@EndTribalism 2. I think it’s interesting how the Founders added that random bit about a “well ordered militia”, like it was some sort of written Tourette’s syndrome or something. Clearly, they didn’t mean anything by it.
@EndTribalism 1. Massachusetts has the lowest rate of gun deaths in the country. It’s easy to get guns. You just can’t get them on an impulse. And will not get an LTC if you’ve had significant police involvement or history of involuntary psychiatric confinement.
@FishinFamily@bohemiantoo Interesting. I thought that Russia had invaded Ukraine, and that Hamas slaughtered scores of Israelis.
The Russia/Ukraine situation is pretty cut and dry. Israel is less clear. But given what happened and the range of what Biden can do, he’s doing well.
