“This bi-partisan payback to the Military Industrial Complex is yet another example of the legal and socially-acceptable corruption that has come to define our Corporate State, particularly post-Citizens-United. This budget is just more corporate welfare from the Neo-liberals, Neo-conservatives and N…”
“Does anyone doubt, at this point, that Trump would cheat at a level that threatens our democracy, such as it is, or borders on treason to win a presidential election? And the arguments here against this bill lack a fraction of a modicum of reason. "Change the way we vote..."? The bloody "president" …”
“It does not matter what McConnell thinks regarding the partisan nature of the voting on impeachment articles. This impeachment is following Constitutional law, and he has openly admitted that he will not perform his Constitutional duty to serve as an impartial juror. The Republican strategy of 100% …”
“This one is simple. The Founders were rightly paranoid about foreign influence, although the suspect countries were much different at the time. This foolish, narcissistic grifter once again played into the hands of a corrupt autocrat in pursuit of personal gain, and he brought taxpayer funds into th…”
“It's past time to impeach this grifter who consistently puts his personal and business interests before US foreign policy and even national security. The blatant violation of our lax election campaign laws is only the most visible instance. Guess which city is the only EU city to boast a Trump Towe…”

“I'm tired of - and frankly bored with - the childish cult of personality that has developed amongst Republicans who demand their MOCs protect the grifter-family patriarch at all cost. The institutions of democracy - particularly the maintenance of independent judicial, legislative and executive bra…”
“In general, this makes sense. However, the big payoff for TurboTax et al. is an abomination and serves only to illustrate that our corrupt system of pay-for-legislation that is not seen elsewhere in the developed world has essentially created a Reverse Socialist society that is contributing to gover…”
“Seems like the corporation still wins since they no longer have to pay for healthcare insurance (a bizarre artifact of WWII), unemployment insurance, etc. With wealthy individuals already not paying their share of income tax, every additional federal funding gap is passed on equally disproportionate…”
“Riddle me this: Since the Trump Protectors are so sure Cohen's testimony was a sack of lies, why aren't they chomping at the bit to pin more perjury convictions on him by opening an investigation into his testimony, which would effectively mean investigating many of the things they refused to invest…”
“Yes, it is time. But, due to our apparent founder worship in this country, amending our ancient Constitution is basically impossible. The path to achieving a popular vote for president is to make the electoral college irrelevant by states joining the National Popular Vote Pact, which works within th…”
“For those so obsessed with "national security" so long as it means the Great Wall of Forgotten America, you might Internet-search this: African Swine Fever. This is just the the most presently visible of the foreign-animal diseases threatening our animal-derived food supply and against which our pri…”
