my favorite piece of jones trivia is the fact that his father owns a chain of (alleged to be crappy) dental offices. what is with dentists?

Over time, I came to learn that keeping Jones from getting angry was a big part of the job, though it was impossible to predict his outbursts. Stories abounded among my co-workers: The blinds stuck, so he ripped them off the wall. A water cooler had mold in it, so he grabbed a large knife, stabbed ...

Biden would be a good placeholder for the next Democratic President. Serve four year and usher in the next generation of Democratic leadership? or we could cut out the middleman and elect the next generation this time? You and I feel that way, of course. But wresting control away from fox news watc...

Biden would be a good placeholder for the next Democratic President. Serve four year and usher in the next generation of Democratic leadership?

or we could cut out the middleman and elect the next generation this time?

I believe Biden has the best chance of beating the Chosen One (read rust belt/midwest), but not sure he's actually the best candidate. And there's my dilemma. i have considerably more confidence in Biden's ability to win the election, than i do in his ability or even his desire to inspire/direct/de...

pushing ahead with a rapid timetable that could set the stage for a vote before Christmas to charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors.

Good points all, but think how much it pisses him off.

this is true & that’s of no small value i suppose but i’m skeptical that it’s of much further use. (except for providing the signatories w a feeling that they’ve done what they could)

“We are speaking out at this time because we are convinced that, as the time of possible impeachment approaches, Donald Trump has the real potential to become ever more dangerous, a threat to the safety of our nation,” become a threat to our nation? diagnose trump all you want; those who see what h...

Harris was never my first choice, but i haven't changed my mind on her candidacy Given her accomplishments , background, prosecutorial ferocity, and her moderately liberal approach, Harris always struck me as a Democratic triangulator's dream candidate. But neither the names, nor the money ever got ...

This isn't the first time he's claimed that SCOTUS could stop the impeachment. Shirley the WH counsel has already explained to him that it doesn't work that way. I think dotus thinks that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have changed how things (i.e. the constitution) work, and THEY will make sure to stop the...

It's just not in his makeup to put any effort into doing anything. If magic doesn't fix it, he won't bother with it. He's flat-out lazy. Period. he's flat-out not doing anything because he doesn't want to. he isn't first and foremost a president too lazy or incompetent to fullfill the functions of ...

Bakari Sellers is saying, "Pete's biggest problem is he has no connection, no relationship with the African American community"-- I like Bakari, but come on. If he cuts a record with Beyonce or if Oprah got behind him a lot of this smoke would vanish (don't be surprised if it happens :P ). jokes as...

What I find interesting is that his irrationality is intermittent ...

it all makes a lot more sense when you realize that trump—and most, if not all of his fellow republicans, tbh—decides what outcome he wants first, then makes up reasons for why he should get it.

The bottom line: If the race plays through along these lines, the nominee will be chosen in July — at the convention in Milwaukee. That is Bloomberg’s play. it's remarkable how passionately devoted pundits are to the stories of "dems in disarray" and "brokered convention." jesus, i wish someone wou...

In short its OUTRAAAAGE PORN that will die in committee but will have both side going rar rawr rar at one another. Its going nowhere and everyone knows it.

... it’s that she needs to appear as a stronger leader.

honestly don’t know what “she needs to appear as a stronger leader” even means, but i guess she could challenge trump to a round of fisticuffs like biden has

Sen. Warren just doesn't inspire sufficient confidence she can beat Trump. The greatest politician of our age doesn't think so either, so yeah, thanks Obama. *shrug* anyone who thinks they can easily predict at this moment which of the several top tier candidates can beat trump is either fooling th...

What happened to Sen. Warren? Barack Obama.

thanks Obama

One thing that makes me crazy is, after episodes like this, Barr, Graham and others have to be cringing, yet they pretend this is not only normal, this is better than normal. at most, i suspect, they laugh at him behind his back. otherwise, they're wholly on board with everything else, so no reason...

totally into the chill out vibe of the Gigafactory video while wondering what labor conditions are like in a Tesla factory operating in Shanghai.

The insurgent faction’s agenda had three major points: advocating for anti-Semitism; advancing the theory that white Americans are being “replaced” by immigrants, including legal ones; and asserting the necessity of explicit homophobia. Miller’s e-mails show a familiarity with—and advocacy of—the “...
