If SCOTUS invalidates the ACA, Medicare for All would also be illegal

Would it not? If not, please explain why M4A would still be legal if passed. This is an honest question.

Folks, it's over. All of it. Over. Trump will not be indicted or impeached.

The Dems will have to defeat him at the polls in 2020. That's the only way to get rid of him. Sure, the Dems will continue to investigate, and it may lead to more questions, but in the end, Trump will remain president until the 2020 election.

The sooner that we focus on 2020, the better.

Corrupt institutions have enabled, and continue to enable, Trump.

This is why 2020 is greater than defeating Trump. Heck, even if a Democrat does indeed win, those corrupt institutions will still be operataional like a factory, and we will get another, even worse version of Trump just like we got another, even worse version of W.

The clear question for us is to demand that our nominees at all levels have the guts to take on these institutions, not just Trump. If we don't aggressively reform them we will be right back to where we are now.

No. You're not the savior

After Trump, the Republican party will...

1. Undergo a deep introspection. Look inward and come to grips with who they are and what they did to the nation. Make amends to the people. Change their ways, and emerge as a new party that truly cares about the well being of all Americans

--OR--

2. Regret nothing and find an even dumber, asshole to run for president.

Predicition: When the Mueller report drops and the House digs in, Trump will invade Venezuela

as a distraction. You just know that the neo-cons in his admin are in his ear every day about Venezuela.

The Libertarian view that it's free of violence where other forms of government are enforced through

the threat of violence. Their old chestnut, "Taxes are theft because if you don't pay them, men with guns show up at your house".

In a Libertarian world, those born with power and privilege rule over those without. If your skills/talents don't help the powerful, then you starve. Men with guns will line the streets. They don't have to show up at your door.

Is there another democracy on planet earth where candidates for the highest office don't campaign...

in the largest cities/states/provinces of that nation? I'm talking about direct elections for the nation's leader, not parliamentary systems.

This is an honest question. I would really like to know.

People Who Said They Didn't Want The Damn Cats

I have a theory. Most of these cats act real affectionate around big fat guys because they know that these big fat guys are going to always have food.
