And what is the official position on blackface? Northam and Herring say they aren't resigning, and there appears to be no effort by the Democrats to remove them. So does that mean that the official position of the Democrat party is blackface is no big deal; it's not really a horrible racist crime against humanity, like, say, a kid wearing a MAGA hat smiling?

VA state politics is a good focus for you, prof. Maybe you and Rickart can join hands and find real solutions there.

But see - you can't help yourself. Dems have come out of the woodwork to denounce the blackface and there've been numerous calls for resignation. I think you know that.

As for Fairfax, there's already a move underway to remove him and it's almost a sure thing that he's a goner. We already know how the 'Kavanaugh Doctrine' turned out, right?
He voted Wednesday for a key anti-abortion issue (and lost thanks to Roberts - whoa).

Dr. Ford told others at the time of her incident as well. Yet she went further and passed a polygraph. Conservatives nevertheless hounded her and her claims unmercifully, yourself included. Yet under identical circumstances these new accusers are getting zero pushback from anybody. Nothing from GOP pols or Faux or Beitbart questioning their motives or timing. Weird, huh?

Dang - I almost missed this part of the Fortune article.

The frustrations will likely continue to fuel support for plans to boost taxes on the ultra-wealthy. A poll last month found that nearly 60 percent of registered voters support a plan by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to impose a 70 percent marginal tax rate on the portion of annual income that exceeds $10 million a year.

gee must not be too angry

Rasmussen says trumps at 52% today

bett4er then most

goot admit did my taxes and why you would pay 70 bucks for turbo is beyond me

take a lot to itemize

americans don't get the fact that they pay a lot less tax overall--but they want that refund I guess instead of having it spread through the whole year

Gallup, unlike Rasmussen, is a legitimate polling organization. America's first ...and finest. And Donnie is holding at 38% approval, and 59% disapproval.

Yeah. Except that the lone measure calling for his impeachment just got withdrawn. There is is STILL no move to remove him.

Current scorecard:

One white supremacist governor who is also an apologist for infanticide. In his own words, “not going anywhere.”
One double rapist lieutenant governor.
One white supremacist Attorney General, thankfully not an apologist for infanticide, as far as we can tell.
Now, we can add an outright anti-Semitic congressperson. (“It’s all about the benjamins baby”).

Then you’ve got hedge and DS slinging homophobic slurs around here.

Why are you Democrats so hate-filled and bigoted?

Hot off the presses:

Another Democrat congressperson (the “impeach the mf’er” lady) wrote articles in the magazine run by Louis Farrakhan, a yuge anti-Semite.

What happened to all the “tolerance, pluralism, diversity and inclusion”?

Blacks in VA are actually giving Northam a pass. They are better at blackface than anybody, plus they love how Northam helped expand Medicaid, benefiting them with money and jobs.

You are correct; it appears he's digging in. VA dems may just have to hold their nose much like [insert gratuitous reference to the Birther in Chief in the WH].

I wonder if that guy just became a "white hispanic"
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Incorrect.

Real Clear Politics is an average of nine national polls, to minimize political bias from individual polls. Current scorecard on Trump approval:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -6179.html

The average is 43.6 approve, 53.6 disapprove. Even Gallup (Tick’s favorite) shows 44% and 52%.

Now look at the recent tracking graph: It plunged the first time Trump caved on the wall, like I predicted. But it has been climbing since, as Trump has given the appearance of fighting for the wall after all. But cheer up, Tick; it will probably drop again when Trump surrenders on the wall again.

This is an outrage. Here in the United States of America, we just can’t have citizens gathering together in public expressing their disapproval of a liberal news organization. This kind of anti-social behavior is a threat to our democracy. Somebody needs to put a stop to it.

I know; the FBI should investigate these hooligans for helping Trump collude with the Russians, fabricate false evidence, have Mueller indict them, then swarm their houses in the middle of the night. Better yet, have CNN, who “just happened to be in the neighborhood at the time,” televise it.



That will teach these Enemies of the State not to diss CNN.

He's already surrendered on the wall you idiot. There's not going to be a wall, maybe another 50 miles of some type of barrier (which will take 20 years and billions of dollars to build, most of it wasted on overpriced labor and materials and plain outright graft, like most other federal projects, esp. military spending) and then Trump will claim "victory" and all his minions will be happy. Meanwhile, the deficit continues to skyrocket, not to mention other very real issues that nobody is even paying attention to now b/c Trump has focused your minuscule on "the wall." But hey, that's considered "winning" in Trump's world. MAGA...

Dang, hedge; you're admitting that the federal government routinely wastes a colossal amount of money, and that the deficit is a yuge problem? You're starting to sound like a Libertarian instead of a Democrat.

Progress!

Multiple MSM sources saying the Mueller report is coming out soon. AWESOME. It will be like the 2016 election night all over again.

And the Democrat party seems determined to rebrand itself as the party of socialism, open borders, veganism, infanticide, and now, reparations. 2020 is shaping up to be 1972 all over again.

Good times.
