To be fair, it is always hard to separate out the actions of a predecessor on your current situation. It is fair to say that gas prices had been going up at an alarming rate on Biden's watch and...

There is no hard set of criteria though shrinking GDP for a period of time is a part of it.





We are actually a little overdue for a recession. I would say that when the economists look...

Though optics is a part of it, he has had a number of setbacks (fuel prices, baby formula, Afghan withdrawal, inflation and looming recession) AND these same perceptions extend to previous...

So you aren't happy with Biden? Or do I misunderstand?

From everything I've read, nothing can make us carbon neutral in the next 8 years

Or maybe a nice pandemic?

I'm a conservative, but there is some reasoning behind my positions. I don't blindly follow anyone, and I have no problem calling out someone who is "my guy" for being wrong about something. If...

Though not a fan of Garland, I do think it was sleazy to withhold and up/down vote - he would probably been confirmed pretty easily. And I completely agree that the filibuster should revert back to...

I'm with you on that. He can always publicly support a nominee while arranging for a "rogue" senate member to launch an opposition. He would appear to keep his word claiming that he can't control...

It's not about learning from mistakes. It is theoretically possible to build a 100% safe nuclear power plant, but the cost greatly outweighs the revenue from electricity generation. So all...

So if he made a deal, what does he get in return? I could see any benefit to him in the article. Maybe I missed it

The problem is that it is not 100, 000 years or even 100 years. In the past 40 years we have had 3 significant accidents: Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. And these aren't even the...

I think he was convinced, but maybe not convicted :d


Look, I don't care who it is, if a prosecutor can provide sufficient evidence for a jury to convict, then the person should face the...

I realize that they have made some advances in reactor safety and efficiency, but I can't get behind a process where the waste must be safely stored for 100,000 years. I realize that Finland has...

There is no one person, party or cause that is to blame. I miss the days the Ted Kennedy and John McCain could argue bitterly on the floor and then go out to dinner that night as colleagues. There...

Not even listed as a reliable site for news - here is the almighty refence that everyone cites down here.....
...

I agree it should be that way and it was also typical that if the nominee was from the senate it was a unanimous vote.

regarding hyperpartisanship.......It takes two. Harry Reid and Nancy...

I get criticized when I don't use reliable sources here. Perhaps you should do the same.

As reported by Reuters:

I agree, his "Operation Warp Speed" far exceeded the predictions of people like Fauci. 13 million people had already been vaccinated by the time Trump left office and that was on 10 months after...

I don't agree with the "dreadful" part but yes hopefully not someone not as "nuts"

I do not believe you will see Biden. His popularity is near a historic low, he is clearly having cognitive difficulties. For the Democratic party to have a chance they will need to jettison him -...

It would be nice if all nominations were nearly unanimous. But if we did that we would probably never have a successful nominee and SCOTUS would dwindle in size until there are none.

The problem is you see it as a win/lose and not a right/wrong. It has never mattered to me whether there was an R or D after a person's name. I just want to know that they will govern with the...

Funny, and my belief is that the left is neither as inclusive or as tolerant as they believe they are.

I would not hate to see Haley as the nominee, but you will not see a woman for both offices on the same ticket. At least not in the foreseeable future.

I think it is dirty political tactics. Not a fan of Mitch for a number of reasons.

Amen

Presidents have the privilege of nominating whoever they think is the best candidate. FDR appointed 8 in his tenure and nominated the chief justice. He completely changed the makeup of the court...

She will not make it through the next election. She is a virtual lame duck

I hope that this prevents Trump from running even if it does not lead to criminal prosecution. The GOP is more likely to win if Trump is not running and I really don't like the options for the...

I respect but do not agree with your position. And I think74,222,958 voters would disagree as well. You are posting in an environment that is pretty uniform in it's far left ideals. The mainstream...

I think if you look at their actual sworn testimony about how they might rule on various cases, you will see that they use the same evasive words that every nominee has used since RBG. No nominee...

In other words....condescension and arrogance. I wonder if that would be the justification that a ruffian uses to beat up another person? Seems like it to me. You play the way you practice.

The reasoning had less to do with transportation or speed of communication. There was a fear that populace states would steamroll the less populace states. Look at any recent election - Every...

Truth is something factual whereas condescension is an attitude of superiority. You can speak the truth without being arrogant or condescending - it is a choice.

I have the Torx bench and also a power screwdriver. I find them both flimsy and doubt I will buy anything further from them.

The purpose of the senate (and Madison stated as much in the Federalist Papers) was to more directly represent the interests of the state (vs the individual voter) and to insulate the country form...

When he has nothing useful to say he resorts to condescension. Get used to it or hit the ignore button. Your choice?

What was it they said during the American Revolution.....

So you don't think that a congressman would think to drive/fly to a neighboring state where abortion is legal? Certainly California and all of New England have quite liberal abortion laws. What...

I think that her more public statements make her sound a little like the looney fringe, and she has ruffled so many feathers in the Democratic party that her chances of advancement are limited unless...

Interestingly, Russell Brand recently did....




Not really sure what qualifies him to say that though

Yup Motivated reasoning. Me and 56% of the population!

What I am saying is that of the two, recognizing that neither was very good, Trump was the better choice.

It looks like a blimp hangar. Was there ever one stationed in Seattle?

Yup, the video shows it all. Invading his space, but it was no assault

Wow Dave quoting Fox News - never thought I would see the day.... : )

That would have left the Democrats with the South, and the GOP with the northerner states.

Breaking up now is even riskier. Hi probability that California or a collection of resource-rich...

Can you really tell anything from these and if so, what? I've never been able to determine the relevance or why they spend money to do them.
