She should be raked over the coals for wanting to outright deny freedom of choice to people.  Sadly, the left will stick up for ideas regardless.

So are we heading out of the US Republic era and into a US Imperial era?  After we get the Venezuela model, it seems all we would need is a general to cross the Rubicon.

We'll be lucky if the end result is as "clean and neat" as what's happening in Venezuela

It ain't over yet down there, but true.  They haven't tried to succeeded in outlawing guns here yet.

It's the Potomac.  :P And, after a Venezuela model, people would be happy for it.

Of course, our military would be a SIGNIFICANTLY different entity by that point, so it would certainly not be a good thing, but probably better than a Chavista.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

  • I spent a week in that town one night....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Generally, anyone making noise this early in the race isn't in the running by the time the primaries are done.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Harris is a distraction. Makes me wonder what the left hand is doing while you're distracted by the right.

Maybe, but so far she's the only one the MSM has gotten behind, and sadly and scarily, outside of Joe Biden, I think she is the most "moderate" big name in the lot (so far).

Hopefully the good news on that will be an additional four years of TDS.

Interesting tidbit, in the "digging stuff out of the yearbook" sort of way that the dems started with Kavanaugh.

It would be interesting if the part about toking it up to Snoop Dog was true, given the implications of her sending people to jail for that at the time.

Welcome to 2019 America. Where the most moderate presidential candidate the dems have to offer and that has the support of much of the media in the country is a reparations paying full fledged socialist.  
You ever sit and think, gee that "evil villain" Joseph McCarthy may have been right all along?

One comment I heard recently was that the only Democrats paying attention to Presidential candidates this early are the hard core Democrats who are mostly leftists.  As a result, the early candidate hopefuls have to run to the left to get any traction or support.  That person assumed they would run more and more to the center as we get closer to the election.  That person said we would see the same thing on the Republican side, but to the right. 

Anyway, just a different view.  IMO, all those candidates are being more honest now than they will be closer to the election.

Like  I said, the MSM is in the tank for Harris. Like Brit Hume said, "This is just embarrassing."

The only thing that might tone the above crap down is if Biden jumps in. They may dump her for him as the better alternative to get rid of their enemy, Trump.

What she means is it's not her money that would be paying for it.

Another devotee of Keynes.  We'll just print more money to pay for all that stupidity,  plus "Universal basic income", which will magically stimulate the economy into a perpetual profit.

I'm pretty sure inflation doesn't exist in her world.
"Leftism destroys everything good." -  Ron

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Slight tangent, but I recently read an article regarding Finland's UBI experiment. It basically showed no difference between a control group of unemployed and unemployed who received UBI regarding either group getting employment or "doing something" with their lives. The only concrete result was that the UBI unemployed reported being happier.

That make sense I guess, since with UBI, there was no stress about not having a job and no requirements (and stress) to look for a job as part of continuing unemployment benefits. Of course it appears to have given them no impetus (in fact possibly the opposite) to go out and find a job. If I know I have secure income with no strings attached that I don't have to work for, why should I work? I'll just go to the lake and fish every day. Of course if everybody does that, then who is driving trucks to stock supermarket shelves, etc.?

What do you care, you can eat fish and don't have to go to the supermarket.
