Is There A Repug Debate On Tonight?.....

Is so - what network and what time? If not - when is the next Repug debate?

The Missouri Protest/Resignation Is A Good Example Of What "We The People" Can Achieve.....

standing together and taking on the powers that be.

Just like Bernie is saying - he can't change things alone - we need a People Revolution to rise up and stand up against the Banksters', Wall Street, the Corporations, the 1%ers - to begin to even the playing field for the poor, the old, the students and the middle class.

This Missouri Protest/Resignation shows what can be done if "We The People" unite. It didn't take long to achieve the results. It was a matter of banding together and standing united against the powers that be.

Congrats!!! to all those that took part in the protest in Missouri.

I'm wondering if Bernie can use this as an example to illustrate his point about needing a people revolution?

It Would Really Be Funny If Trump's Poll Numbers Go Down Now....

after doing this terribly unfunny SNL.

Just Listened To The Replay Of Last Nights Forum.....

I was particularly drawn to the first question Rachel posed to Hillary - about starting out in Arkansas - but winding up in New York after Bill's presidency. I believe that the move to NY State was a strategic move to begin her run for the presidency for herself. She targeted NY State - because she wanted to be a Senator from a big important state. I believe she could have probably gone back to Arkansas and run for the Senate and win there - but - Arkansas doesn't have the impact to a presidential resume' as NY State has.

It was also interesting that she hid behind her being Senator from the State of New York - when she was asked about her big money donations from Wall St; her speaking jobs from Wall St.; etc. She seemed to use that she was the Senator of NY State as an excuse that she catered to the big money of Wall St. - where in my opinion she was already campaigning for her ultimate goal of becoming the first woman president.

Paraphrasing her answer - I was the Senator for all of NY State and therefore I had to cater to Wall St too.

As much as she says she went to Wall St and wagged her finger at them and told them to stop their greedy ways - she had no impact on them. We fell into an economic recession anyway. It sounds good as to what she says about her finger wagging - but in reality - Wall St. is in her back pocket and nothing will change going forward for the Wall St. banksters should she be elected president.

In contrast - either Bernie or O'Malley will push for change in this area - Hillary will be the status quo candidate for the Wall St banksters.

What's The Next Step For TPP?.....

I see where more people are coming out against it after they have had the chance to read the full text. President Obama sent out a communication yesterday supporting it. Where does it go next to either get passed or get shut down?

Does Obama have the support to get it passed or will it die?

Fox Lake Cop: Did They Discuss Gunshot Residue On Either Of His Hands?......

Did they comment on which hand he held the gun in and actually shot himself?

I would think the gun residue would be a telltale sign - yet I don't believe they commented on that.

Really? - A "Jeb Can Fix It" Campaign......

Who is running Jeb's campaign. It is a total joke and now this? Admit that it's broke and say he can fix it?

With comments like - he has better things to do - or - he would kill for his father (saw that one this a.m.).

He's a flop. Just admit it and get out of the race. Before you say something that you'll really regret.

I was Out Of Touch For The Last Few Days And Today I'm Picking Up Repug Debate Whining....

what is that all about and why? Do they now want to shape the debates to make themselves look even more clownish? I say let them just get questions about the issues and let the American People see how out of touch they are with them. If they think that they are embarrassed now - wait until they try and answer issue related questions.

I just don't understand the Repugs and how they think parading 15 candidates in front of us with a big boy debate and a kids table debate makes them look like they can run the country.

If they can't field questions in the debates - how are they going to deal with the day to day questions and problems that crop up as president?

I'm curious as to what others think about their carping about debates. I just heard that one of the candidates would like the debate moderators to be Hannity, Rush and Levine.

That's crazies doing the questioning to other crazies. That would be fun TV and it would really let the American People know just how insane the Repugs have become.

Didn't Bernie Want To Audit The Fed?.....

One of the Repugs tonight suggested they do that. I thought Bernie was pushing this. What's the story?

How Long Ago Was Jeb The Governor Of Florida?......

He keeps bringing up Florida - like he is still the Governor.
