Kamala Harris wants the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. Is she a Bernie Sanders-style progressive or a Hillary Clinton-style corporatist centrist? That depends which Kamala you look at. The one whose positions look great on paper, or online? Or the one who parties with rich donors in the Hamptons and enforces capital punishment?
Donald Trump is a horrible president for many reasons. So why are Democrats insisting upon promoting their bizarre conspiracy theory that he colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election instead of trying to oust him for one of those legitimate reasons?
The two-party duopoly insists that politics is a zero-sum game. So if you don’t believe there’s evidence that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, you must support Trump. This, of course, makes no sense. Yet it’s our reality.
Donald Trump is heading back to a pissed-off European Union.
The Trump Administration economy is generating a lot of new jobs. That’s great, but what about the quality of those jobs? No one is keeping track of those.
Donald Trump has picked Brett Kavanaugh, a reliable right-wing conservative jurist, to replace swing justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. This means Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy. But the U.S. is the only country in the world that relies on a court decision, one with faulty reasoning, for abortion rights. Why doesn’t the U.S. simply legalize abortion like so many European countries have done? Because Democrats were content not to press the issue.
Patriotism is at an all-time low among Americans, according to a new poll.
Numerous corporations, like Starbucks, are allowing customers to order online in advance so they don’t have to wait on line for their order. Once again, those of us who prefer to simply lead our lives without planning ahead every breath are penalized.
Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. Now, we’re being told, Democrats are about to wage a big battle to prevent a right-winger who might overturn Roe v. Wade from replacing him. In reality, of course, there’s nothing Democrats can do but posture. Trump will get his pick. Democrats will suck up to moderate Republicans, who will vote for Trump’s person no matter what. Why bother with this time-wasting charade?
Whatever happened to the old United States, the country that welcomed immigrants? After weeks of controversy over a policy of separating children at the US-Mexico border from their parents, and then losing them in the foster care system, the Trump Administration won a Supreme Court victory when the high court ruled along 5-4 partisan lines to approve the president’s ban on travel to the US by people from some Muslim nations.
