“Lindsay Graham hates people who have principles because he has none. He called Trump a kook, a racist and a conman before Trump won the White House, then he became the quintessential Trump ass-kisser. He was John McCain's best friend until Trump dissed McCain and then he acted like he'd never heard…”

“The current insanity among Republicans has reached a new level of stupid. They want to impeach Whitmer for following the science and acting responsibly to protect the lives of the citizens and health care workers of Michigan. In other words, they want to impeach Whitmer for doing her job and doing…”

“President Elect Biden has chosen experienced, competent people who will return America to its traditional role as leader of the free world. These candidates are committed to confronting the issues that face us through multilateral action and cooperation with our allies. They have demonstrated their…”

“I think it is past time to get rid of the Electoral College. It is an undemocratic and outdated method of choosing a President that leaves the decision to a few swing states. Millions of Americans think their votes don't matter because of the state they live in. Why shouldn't a California republi…”

“Trump and Atlas are arrogant egotistical fools who are literally killing people with bad advice. No responsible leader would allow someone like Atlas to offer opinions on a deadly pandemic. Atlas is not an epidemiologist or infectious disease doctor. He's a radiologist who obviously doesn't know …”

“The Senate's complete indifference to the suffering of ordinary citizens is a disgrace. After his electoral loss, Trump has basically checked out of his presidential duties. The House bills may not be ideal but at least they have comprehensive proposals that address most of the needs. They are pre…”

“I wish Democrats had won these Senate seats outright but I am hopeful that they can win the runoffs. It is critical that dems win these seats in order to unseat "grim reaper" Mitch McConnell. McConnell has single handedly prevented meaningful legislation from being passed. He will not even allow…”

“State election officials, republican and democrat, have asserted that there was no evidence of election fraud or irregularity in their state. Complaints brought by Trump campaign lawyers have been promptly dismissed by multiple courts and the lawyers reprimanded for submitting misleading claims wit…”

“The tradition is that the Justice Department does not investigate cases of voter fraud (which are extremely rare) during an election. The risk of political interference or intimidation is too high. In general, the States investigate any irregularities in voting within the state. The Justice Depar…”

“The Pompeo statement is a disgraceful betrayal of American democracy. The result of the 2020 election is clear. All the allegations of impropriety in this election have either been disproved or lack credible evidence. Even if the allegations were true, they would not overturn the election because t…”

“Let's be honest. Most people who were young during the 60s and beyond have probably at least tried marijuana at some point in their lives. Most of us were lucky enough not to get caught. A lot of seniors have newly discovered marijuana for its therapeutic benefits. Have some advanced to more ser…”

“Oh come on...enough already. So what? There was plenty of reason to investigate given Russia's proven interference in the 2016 election and contacts between Russian operatives and Trump campaign staffers and supporters. If our intelligence agencies had failed to investigate it would have been a …”

“There was nothing surprising about the debate. Pence spewed the usual Trump campaign lies and he regularly evaded the questions. In addition, he was boring, condescending and, as usual, expressed nauseating adoration for his beloved leader. I found the way he talked over his time, interrupted Har…”

“The payroll tax deferral is a con and a farce. First of all, a payroll tax deferral only benefits those who still have a job and does nothing for those who have lost their jobs and have the greatest need. Second, this only delays the tax due and does not eliminate it. Only Congress can eliminate …”

“This is essentially a shakedown - or maybe a kickback. In either case, it is completely inappropriate. Why should the US government get a share of the sale of a company? The government approves any number of sales of companies - either clearing monopoly issues or clarifying whether foreign compan…”

“I would absolutely not feel comfortable flying at this time. Covid is everywhere and flying presents a set of conditions that experts say are highest risk for infection: physical closeness in an enclosed environment with poor air circulation. You might as well be walking into a covid ICU unit. An…”

“Yes. It is very clear that a good part of America does not fully understand our history of slavery or has idealized it as "necessary" and not really evil. If we are ever to evolve as a society, we must have a full understanding of America's "original sin" which was so contrary to everything Americ…”

“It never ceases to amaze me how republicans can give billions to big business without a second thought and deny workers a decent unemployment check when they lose their jobs due to Trump's and the republicans' pathetically incompetent response to covid. They claim it wouldn't be right to use taxpay…”

“It is ridiculous that we have military bases named after people who rebelled against the United States and fought against the US military. This would be inconceivable in any other nation. These names do not represent glorious US history, but the subjugation of African Americans. It is past time t…”
