Re: Towards a New Nationalism

Might be of interest to some here. For Xeno, I copied a bit more than my initial impulse limited me to. But not much more. In my defense, I didn't want you to paste more per se, I was just surprised that none of the other points of that article made it into the discussion. But thanks all the same I...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

Thanks for chiming in EA and Schmo, your thoughts lined up right with where I was at. As to the complaints I'm not sure what to say other than, "it's just a meme, brother". Apologies if the analogy seemed over the top but I thought it pretty well captured exactly how devastating Warren's p...

Re: Swamp Watch News

I'm sorry that this probably doesn't fit the thread. I don't know where else to stuff it. ;-) Pence just landed at Peterson field, with President coming in at 4-ish for a 5 p.m. rally. I would like to know how these guys manage to function within a couple of hours of landing at high altitude. Are t...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

In fairness, Tom Steyer is out there not being Bloomberg. Some of his viability is because he's campaigning as a firebrand against Trump when other Dems are not and Dems want, above all else, someone to take on Trump. Warren is really the only other candidate campaigning directly against Trump's co...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

Markk, you made some very specific claims about Klobuchar and her hand in dishing out monies to her friends in what was implied to be at least a bit shady and have done nothing to corroborate that other than trying to point to a single very tenuous connection and saying "See, see!". I had ...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

Dorsey & Whitney, and the Minnesota light rail projects...google it.. Yeah I've done some googling. I've seen nothing to suggest that there is anything approaching anything illicit, illegal or unethical around the deal. Surprise, one of the largest legal firms in the state got to be involved in...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

but after looking at here voting record she voted around 90% with Bernie, all the while taking Big Money from the lobby, which goes against the Bernie doctrine. It is 77% on legislation within this most recent congress, I'm sure that it fluctuates depending on lots of things (namely what those bill...

Re: Bloomberg and what he brings to the mix$

Who is you actual choice and why...? I wouldn't say I have *a* choice at the time, I still have 2 weeks to settle. As is true of all politicians there are things I like and dislike but I would say Bloomberg is the only candidate that I truly couldn't vote for in the primary. Gun to my head I'd prob...

Re: Lessons for 2020 from 2012

Good thoughts all around, honor. I think we're more an agreement than not. You offer a great reminder to me to try to keep my criticisms from entering that shallow territory, even if Trump does it make it so damn easy. As to the other points in the article, I felt each was deserving of discussion bu...
