    Biden Checkmated Trump

    I would also say that a week on after this decision, I would guarantee you that Biden feels foolish. While Pelosi, Jeffries, and Schumer feel immensely vindicated. At least to the tune of a couple hundred million dollars.

    Biden Checkmated Trump

    No. Biden was not going to leave the race. He fully buys into this idea that he is the living example of the "comeback kids politician" that wins against all odds and tragedies. I think he's also in strong denial about how quickly his physical and mental health is declining. It took pressure...

    Kamala Harris juggernaut

    I feel like I've left the funeral and walked into a wedding with an open bar.

    Vance is already proving to be a bad choice.

    Trump would never pick a VP that had the risk of outshining him.

    The implication of Trump's promised mass deportation program

    I've posted very infrequently over the years, but since my posts last year my partner and I eloped (a bit faster that we'd have liked to) and filed for his AOS. He has legal entry, but overstayed his visa and so earned unauthorized presence. That situation is very typical of undocumented...

    Uh oh...

    Don't fall into that equivocation trap. Autocracy is legitimately worse than even 'messy' democracy. I mean certainly, it feels tiresome to participate in and experience the ridiculous tos and fros of democracy. The constant blunders. However there's a major difference between being able to...

    Question for Palestinians.

    I don't think you're fully understanding the challenge that is Palestine. The median age of a Palestinian is 19. Edit: To phrase it another way — Palestine is a desperately poor, underdeveloped population that is packed by force into tiny square footage. There is broad lack of education...

    A thread to soothe all those hurt feelings.........

    I have always thought it was weird when I read the statement "white collar crime is not victimless crime" ... because, isn't that obvious? Who's disputing that? Well I just learned real fast who thinks that way and makes excuses for it.

    House GOP fails to impeach Mayorkas over border handling

    You folks are overcomplicating it. We're already on the path to viable third parties, because of the ranked choice voting reforms that have been taking place. The rest of the country just needs to brave it up and follow through with Alaska and Maine's reforms — and some of that will (or won't)...

    Craven McCarthy resigning from Congress

    And Bill Johnson announced he will be resigning after being offer the position at YSU. Meaning, House Republicans may be down to a 1 vote majority by January.

    Should the United States Southern Border be Closed?

    It's not dumb to call out our — individual, collective and governmental — role in contributing to the proliferation of narcos in Mexico. Those gangs are sustained by the illegality of drugs; the US' lax gun laws (and substantial manufacturing); and the US' impossible, inflexible immigration...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    But, we are judged by our nut cases. You're well aware that the Freedom Caucus has shut down Congress by removing McCarthy. Just pretend we were in a war with Canada and were trying to come to a sensitive peace deal. Do you think the Canadians would trust us Americans to do the right thing when...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    Yes, Arafat's mentality was completely spoiled by that point and Barak was politically weak. Arafat came to Camp David just to draw pain from the Israelis.

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    Yes, that is the problem. Israeli's political right in their anti-Arab and Jewish supremacist views drive the majority of the harassment of Palestinians. Much of the Palestinian leadership don't believe and do not trust the Israeli moderates and political left to control Israeli's nut cases...

    can you think of a solution for Israel and Palestine?

    No. The 2000 Camp David Summit talks had already failed with Israeli PM Rabin's assassination in 1995 by that Israeli far-right crazy. All of the fragile trust that had been built in between Israel's government and Arafat vaporized instantly. Because, you need to understand that Rabin as a...
