Perfect example in this thread. People who are on the left speak out against morons who are "antifa." Someone on the right praises the equivalent on the right. There really are no morals for the right.

Harris cannot be the one to run for president.

Doesn't have to be her but Biden/Bernie is a bad combo. The ticket needs to be somewhat diverse even if that diversity is in age

We are talking about a guy who thinks BLM is worse than KKK. Enough said.
 
You can find hours of video of people addicted to eating dirt. Yes, that's a thing. Does it mean that this country has a dirt eating problem? Of course not.

McConnell Calls For Cutting Government Programs To Deal With ‘Disturbing’ Debt
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called on Congress to rein in major government programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in order to slow America’s spiraling national debt on Tuesday, ignoring the fact the tax plan he recently passed has further grown that number.​
“It’s very disturbing, and it’s driven by the three big entitlement programs that are very popular: Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. That’s 70 percent of what we spend every year,” he said on Bloomberg News Tuesday when asked about the national debt. “There’s been a bipartisan reluctance to tackle entitlement changes because of the popularity of those programs. Hopefully at some point here we’ll get serious about this. We haven’t been yet.”​
McConnell’s comments give Democrats more fodder for an argument that they’ve been making in campaigns across the map: That the GOP will ultimately try to pay for its tax cuts by slashing social programs.​
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that the GOP tax cuts would add $1.9 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. The loss of government revenue from the cuts has been a larger proportional loss than what was caused by the Great Recession, according to the New York Times.​
McConnell had shied away from pushing for cuts to social programs like these before the election, even as House Republicans led by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) had agitated to do so. And while he said he didn’t think this could be a problem solved with one party controlling Washington, indicating he won’t make a big push for it himself if the GOP retains control, it could help Democrats further their campaign argument in the three remaining weeks before the midterm elections.​

Like trump, the saudi stories on their murder of a journalist has changed a minimum of three times in the span of a week. 'Very fine people.' 'He was very strong in his denial.'

Innocent until prove... LOCK HER UP!

He was an resident here. This should alarm anyone who is supposedly for protecting Americans.

Sometimes the media tries too hard. There's a story going around today that says that Trump told the AP he won't accept blame if the GOP loses the House. Which is well and good, but really all you ever need to write is "Trump won't accept blame"

Why do they never consider defense spending? They hate "socialism" but that is exactly what it is.

It's weird. They usually wait until Democrats control Congress and the White House to care about the debt. Maybe that and the Kavanaugh thing are just them acknowledging a bleak (for them) future.

The defense contractors have so many politicians from both sides in their pockets. No matter which party is in power, military spending increases.

Plus especially in congress, everyone has military bases in their district that we can't close down because... jobs. There's a huge airbase in my area (on the border with Canada) that they constantly want to close, but of course the locals all rally to keep it open. It is totally socialism.

It is weird that McConnell laid out him wanting to cut social security and medicare before the elections. This needs to be bigger news. This needs to be everywhere. Everyone who receives social security and medicare needs to see this every day.

No we know why having an education, and being intelligent, is considered a "liberal" thing.....

"You have scientists on both sides of it. My uncle was a great professor at MIT for many years, Dr. John Trump," the president said. "And I didn’t talk to him about this particular subject, but I have a natural instinct for science, and I will say that you have scientists on both sides of the picture."​

They all get their info from Fox News. They won't know what happened until the checks stop coming.
 
Another important headline that gets lost in all the rhetoric. Whatever your personal beliefs on border security, one thing is clear - Trump's rhetoric and policies HAVE NOT WORKED.

Republicans can claim they are "tough on borders", but the facts simply don't back it up (the whole thing is a manufactured crisis anyway).
