Sort of because I think she has a serious mental illness. Wasn't she raised in a cult? Add to that the sexual abuse she suffered, I do feel bad that she has suffered so much trauma. Also being followed and messed with those Black Cube people probably did not help her stability. That had to be scary as hell. I do wish she would STFU about Iran though. For the candidates who didn't take PAC money, isn't the ability to raise funds an indicator of their popularity, organization and chances for winning? I'm not saying it is, but asking the question. I tend to think that at least in the case of KH there were problems in her campaign that led to the meltdown and failure to raise more money. In the case of Corey Brooker, well speaking only for myself, I wanted no part of his love train. Screw that to be blunt. Maybe Biden will choose a person of color to be his running mate. I think anything other than a straight white male would be nice. At the same time I'm with the people who will vote for any democratic ticket.

Which one do you mean? I can't. 😂 Not that's it's really funny, it's just the absurdity of it all.

^ damn it all.

Yes. I've thought about this too. Republicans are terrible for science. This is one of the awful consequences of this administration that falls through the cracks with all of the other insane things going on daily. Meanwhile all of the violence going on during this holiday season makes me feel like things are completely OOC. A car bombing in Somalia that killed nearly 80 people and injured over 100, continued bombing in Syria, the stabbings and other attacks on Jews in NY and now a church shooting. Maybe things were always this bad, but it just feels worse to me right now. Maybe it's just how instantly the news is carried due to social media that makes it feel overwhelming.

This is so gross and yet they are throwing their money away, so there's that.

That really was disgusting. I can't imagine what it's like to have the former governor of your state publicly talk about your daughter's hymen. The invasion of privacy alone is enraging. Yes. You just know that this guy will do it again. What a travesty of justice.

I can't believe she is still in the race. I swear Satan himself could run and get 2 or 3 percent in the polls.

I think Yair makes some good points here. It's just weird to me that a nation we have accepted the travel ban and what is happening on our border. Not that everyone has by any means, but sometimes I feel like the nation as a whole is sleep walking into destruction. Maybe it's more that people are overwhelmed. I don't know.

Some Democrats are, just as the left in Britain is rotted through with anti-semitism. This is a problem that is not specific to one party or political ideology. It's truly bizarre to watch these groups play your lot is more anti-semitic than your lot. There is plenty to go around. It's a hate that has run through the millennia and thanks to Trump it has been normalized again. It's not the least bit surprising to me that it has had a resurgence in places like Germany and Eastern Europe. You don't go from a Holocaust to everything is right as rain in a lifetime. I admit I wouldn't have thought it were possible for the temperature to rise so quickly in The States. That video yesterday of bystanders in Jersey City blaming the Jewish victims for their own shooting and saying it was good that four of them had died...damn.

This is so true, but it's our reality. I agree with Marceline about the PAC money. This is not the time to give the right an advantage.

Thank God. I liked Harris too, but I think the nominee will be Biden. We just have to hope to God that Trump is dea...I mean imprisoned by the 2020 elections or that Biden can actually beat him. I admit I'm nervous. A lot can happen in the next year.

That story about ICE setting up a fake university is INSANE. What about all the students lives they f*cked with. So unconscionable.

This is an old Roger Ebert review someone posted on twitter today. It's the funniest thing I have read in awhile. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/deuce-bigalow-european-gigolo-2005

🤣 Honestly, I'm not sure which performance was worse. At least Andrew doesn't have actual political power, but still, both of them are stubborn and oblivious to how they come off.

The brainwashing Fox has accomplished is worthy of the CIA/KGB/China. China should just go ahead and hire Hannity and friends to help "re-educate" their Muslim population instead of sending them to camps and torturing them. 🙃

Seriously. So much depends on this one woman's life and she seems very well aware of it.

Wow. This guy is paranoid and delusional!

I think so too. Most of them are ride or die for him. It's sad and disgusting, but there it is.

Isn't this point basically a slam of Bernie's free college plan? He wants free state school tuition for everyone no matter their income. It's a bit of a straw man argument when other candidates argue that millionaires and billionaires would get free tuition. Sure, they technically would, but how many of those people are sending their kids to state school? I guess it could be an issue at some of the Cali state schools. I don't believe free state school tuition will happen any time soon in the anti intellectual atmosphere that now permeates our culture. If it ever does there will to have to be better messaging to get the public behind it. How many people out there incorrectly think this plan includes private colleges? Quite a few from what I've seen.

^ Can that second one be real? I can't. 😂

I find myself periodically checking CNN to see if the day's mass shooting has happened yet. It's so sick that we all know it's going to happen again and again, but most of the people leading us are standing in the way of change. So frustrating.

^ Ugh. That is pretty bad. We need fewer candidates not more anyhow.

Yes. I could not agree more that this is the way to go. One step at a time.

Me too, of course. It doesn't matter to me that much who it is because I doubt very much will get done those first four years anyway. At best the next President will have to scramble just to undo some of the damage. I really cannot believe Michael Bloomberg is going to run. I've had it with these billionaires who think they are entitled to even more power.

This just sums it all up. My mind just cannot accept this chaotic reality. It shouldn't seem that surprising since we've seen many societies melt down in a similar way throughout history (Germany, China, Cambodia, USSR the list goes on and on just in the last century). Still, so many people are going along with all the lies and insanity, I just don't understand it. I get that racism, greed, and religion are behind a lot of it, but still to just deny objective reality and the law to the extent that some of these Republicans are doing is just mind blowing to me.
