I don't think this poster comes back to his threads that much, though. So he might not see your post.

I took a look at some of the text of their "act." Somewhere between the Spanish Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials.

You'd think they had gone into caucus and asked themselves, "now what could we do to make life even more miserable for the average American community than we have done already?"

Sen Sanders: "These flags mark all the abortion restrictions in the Republican repeal of Obamacare." but without the quotation marks (which is what the DU system now does, it strips out quotation marks sometimes).

Where did this come from? When did he say this?

Thank you.

isn't an economic issue.


It’s not just a misstatement from Mr. Perez or a slight from Mr. Sanders. Democrats, in their postelection soul searching, are trying to learn the lessons from Donald Trump’s jolting victory and how they might win back the presidency. And some — all men so far, it should be noted — argue that the party should move away from so-called social issues like abortion and reproductive freedom.

Instead, these men contend, the party’s focus must be on economics. The glaring mistake they all make, however, is thinking that there is any way to disentangle reproductive rights from economic issues.

That must be a copy of Graham-Cassidy, and do note the flags.

Dinesh D'Souza retweeted it, a nice reminder of the sort of creeps the Repubs need to keep them afloat.
