This Wednesday Political Thread The Establishment Versus Sanders

Democrats embrace Biden as Sanders hopes for a big Super Tuesday delegate haul In the greater scheme of things, I just want Trump to lose his re-election.  In a dream world, it would be to Sanders.  It’s becoming increasingly clear, the other democratic candidates want the opposite. A cynical person would say that they just want a candidate to beat Trump.  A bigger cynic would say it’s because they themselves don’t support the programs Bernie is advocating.  We live in a country where most people in government are wealthy, successful, and well educated.  These are people who have always had … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread The Establishment Versus Sanders

This Wednesday Political Thread Sanders Surges

Election Update: Sanders Is On The Upswing   Up until this point, we’ve been pretty hesitant to read too much into any one of the post-debate polls — largely because for each poll that showed Sen. Bernie Sanders on the upswing, there was another poll that showed him on the downturn. But now with four more national polls and six early-state surveys (three from Iowa and three from New Hampshire) since we last checked in, we’ve got a much clearer picture of where things stand.

Sanders’s chances of winning a majority of pledged delegates has increased by … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread Sanders Surges

The Wednesday Political Thread Feels More “Safe”

Uproar and consequences mount for Trump after Soleimani killing Apparently the biggest uproar on this was it was done to make Americans feel more “safe.” Even if you are a Trump enthusiast (it’s okay if you want to duck down in the back), are any Americans feeling more safe?  Minorities, no.  LGBT, no. Women, no.  Immigrants, no.  Jewish people? No.  Christians, No. And every article I read says the Americans that count the most, white males also feel threatened….so who exactly is feeling more safe? I would and could make the argument that every groups relative safety became more tenuous … Continue reading The Wednesday Political Thread Feels More “Safe”

This Wednesday Political Thread, Trump is sending a letter to daddy

  The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives.  This impeachment represents an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by Democrat Lawmakers, unequaled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history. The Articles of Impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not recognizable under any standard of Constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence.  They include no crimes, no misdemeanors, and no offenses whatsoever.  You … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread, Trump is sending a letter to daddy
