Rage is a bad emotion to bring to politics. There will always be people who disagree sharply with us. Rage chokes off dialogue and distracts from the issues at hand. Much better to set forth straightforward arguments to promote your views.
@AOC AOC, I strongly disagree with you on the Middle East, but I respect your integrity. In the future, you might be an important bridge between the two sides.
@RonDeSantis First, you can't expel, denaturalize, and deport for what people say. They are protected by the First Amendment.
Second, she wasn't talking about herself. She was talking about the Somali nation who should put nationhood before religion. That's what I understood.
@BrianLehrer Just want to point out that for anybody to make the supremely arduous journey through the jungles of Central America and Mexico, a journey on foot of more than a thousand miles, they must be pretty desperate.

@RepAOC Sorry, but there can be no ceasefire before Hamas is removed from Gaza. October 7 proves Israel and Hamas cannot coexist. One must go, and that must be Hamas. Once Hamas and other terrorist groups are forced out of Gaza, of course there should be a ceasefire.
President Xi of China and President Biden will meet soon in California. Welcome news indeed! While I'm no fan of the present Chinese government, we need all the stability we can get. As Churchill said: "Jaw, jaw is better than war, war."
@Ultra_Rooster20 Rooster, what do you think of the case before the Supreme Court: do people with a domestic restraining order against them have a 2nd amendment right to guns?
Joe Manchin just announced that he is not running for the Senate in 2025. While Manchin could be a pain in the neck at times, he was instrumental in forwarding much of the Democrats' agenda. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
@Lucas_Gage_ You really are a antisemite! You're not concerned about Gaza. You hate the Jews.
What does Gaza have to do with 911, JFK, RFK, and the USS Liberty.
