    They're not going after her on climate change for the simple fact that she's right. She has Science on her side and Science will beat right wing lies and self-serving political bullshit every time. You guys had better wake up and smell the fresh air. Mumbo Jumbo is not hoodooing us any more

    I'm beginning to wonder if someone wasn't hit with a bag of hammers. They certainly seem awfully concerned with them and it might explain their....uh..."thinking"

    A woman whose's greatest accomplishment was being a bar tender and you claim people "fear her intelligence". What is your evidence of this great intelligence?

    We'll see is she learns fast. She's going to get spanked by Nancy Pelosi, and, as naïve as she appears to be, she's not likely to realize it until long after it happens.

    Romney is obviously positioning himself for a 2020 run. It remains to be seen whether Trump will run or not. I think he's ;looking for an excuse to declare imaginary victory and ten semi quit. He loves the TV show, and he loves the mobs. But he hates actually being President (unless there's a sword dance around), and he doesn't understand or care about what his job is or how it works.

    Kasich was my first choice amongst the GOP.

    Biden is my choice on the Democratic side.

    The Democratic party needs to rediscover its New Deal roots.

    But, I thought she was Bernie's protege? Is that the best he can do?

    There is something really strange about her looks and demeanor, something that freaks me out every time I see her. She's like an energizer bunny that runs to every bad idea imaginable, with the emotional maturity of a two-year old.

    They're not going after her on much of anything else though. How about this?

    Or all of this.

    "You just pay for it." So why she can't just pay for an apartment in DC is puzzling since records show she can.

    I'll give you climate change. And the rest?

    If you won't accept them what will you accept? The Times is about the most respected source in the world

    Pseudo-science is not science.

    Pseudo-science
    1. a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.

    Again, RRIIGGHHTT

    Here it is folks, the ultimate right wing "argument"

    "I don't believe you, and nothing you say will make me believe you. The New York Times and everyone else that disagrees with me are all nests of commie spies. LALALALALALALALA" (said loudly with hands in ears)

    "But mommy, he's naked, the Emperor has no clothes."

    "Shaddup kid, you wanna get us deported?"

    Because the God - Emperor has proven they are a plot by the Chinese. He said so, and that is proof enough for all good Trumpistas

    Well, it just took control of the House of Representatives ,and generally won big last Tuesday.

    So a lot of people either voted for "nothing of substance", as it seemed to be a reasonable alternative to the race baiting, xenophobia and fearmongering that was the sum total of what Trump was selling!

    If what you say is true the reporting should be far and wide, you're deflecting.

    "But Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rep.-elect Joe Neguse (Colo.) and some of the other progressive incoming lawmakers fought back""


    See, it wasn't just your favorite target, it was other people, TOO.



    DUH, THAT is how you "clean the Swamp"...newcomers calling out and challenging the Old White Establishment....
