    New House speaker has reputation for being a man of faith, family and conservative convictions

    I would recommend this guy pick up a constitution and not tell people to "pick up a bible" He is certainly free to hang onto his personal interpretation of the bible, but you don't legislate how other people live, based on your personal beliefs.

    Has hatred isolated the dems from their base?

    IMO, what is going on sith sanders right now, is a mirror image to 4 years ago with trump. No one thought trump had a prayer of winning the republican nomination, much less win the presidency. Establishment republicans thought he was a joke, until he started winning primaries and then they got...

    February 19th Democratic Debate

    Warren comes accross like a whiney baby. I take anything she says, with a grain of saltnas well. I believe this thing is going to come down to sanders and bloomberg. Bloomberg was off his game last night and will likely perform better, when he gets back in the flow of things.

    Trump on a pardoning rampage: Blagojevich, Milken, NYPD commish, former Niners owner...

    Presidents promise a lot of stuff, dont they? The reality is, these pardons are in linenwith what other presidents have done. I cant stand trump, but the partisan reaction to everything he does, is childish.

    Federal Judges Association to meet to discuss Barr's meddling in Stone case

    Seriously, and even john dean from watergate fame (who hates trump) agrees. The most any of the water gate gang got for obstruction and other crimes, was less than two years. Based on precedent, what the prosecutors asked for, was excessive.

    Federal Judges Association to meet to discuss Barr's meddling in Stone case

    Cutting through the initial partisan reactions and looking at the facts, the recommended sentence was excessive and many legal experts who are on tye left agree. Trump tweeting about it, is what started the knee jerk reactions. If he was semi normal, nothing wrong with the president picking up...

    How much did you spend this year for medical bills?

    My number was less tyan 10%, because my income is higher. When i calculate all out pocket medical expenses, including what employer takes out of my check, the number totaled about 14k for 2019. In 2020, likely to be over 20k.

    Trump on a pardoning rampage: Blagojevich, Milken, NYPD commish, former Niners owner...

    Overall, i think this slew of pardons, falls in line with how past presidents have operated.

    Good point, but this year, sanders has more competition.
