riverine's JournalWow, Linda Ronsdtadt covered Joni Mitchell's "River" way back in 2000
Thank you Youtube.
I will always love Joni most but this version by Linda is wonderful,
A Joe Biden/Barack Obama ticket passes Constitutional muster according to legal experts
But what about the 22nd Amendment that forbids someone from RUNNING for POTUS for a third term?
The drafters of this language [of the 22nd Amendment] knew the difference between getting elected to an office and holding an office, Dorf explained. They could have just said no person may hold the office of president more than twice. But they didnt.
Indeed, Dorf even signaled that the present-day Supreme Courts hands would be tied on the matter. In a case from 1968, the Court ruled eligibility requirements that restrict people from running for federal office had to be read with a narrow interpretation that is, the letter of the law mattered more than a broad interpretation of the rules. To rule differently now would thwart the established precedent created more than 50 years ago.
Looking at the 22nd Amendment with a narrow lens, its clearly written in a way to allow a former president to run as someone elses vice president. It may not have been the collective authors intent for that to have happened, but they didnt consider disallowing it either.

The Amendment is LITERAL and allows him to serve again. Take that Federalist Society! Those are the words of the Constitution!
President Obama, we need you now to save your legacy.

Did I just hear the Liar-in-Chief try to take credit for this?
We also produced record amounts of clean energy and natural gas in 2015.
Thanks Donnie the Liar!
Photos Show What Humans Have Done To The Planet
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/06/15/727583729/the-anthropocene-project-captures-humanitys-indelible-mark-on-the-planetTheir expansive, multidisciplinary body of work is called The Anthropocene Project.
The project, which includes photography, film, virtual reality and augmented reality, took four years to complete and launched in September 2018. The exhibition is currently on display at the Fondazione MAST Museum in Bologna, Italy. And their film will be shown in the U.S. this fall.
The Earth is sick.
Why is it suddenly important to rehabilitate the toxic term "socialism"?
I don't get it.
The only thing I can think of is that one certain candidate who is running as a Democrat has hitched his wagon to the term.
Is there any other reason?
Please do tell.
Why are Lib celebrities like Tom Hanks, Clooney so nice and Cons like Jon Voight/James Woods such
bitter assholes?
I could name 50 more that fit the same pattern.
They're all rich with royalties rolling in for life so it is not money.
I just don't get it. I refuse to put money into the center of the divide.
Alabama man mowing vets lawns for free gets tickets from Delta to do all 50 states
https://www.ajc.com/news/local/man-mowing-vets-lawns-all-states-gets-some-help-from-delta/9vU0DbyY7z1ESkRLoNa3vK/Smith, 29, has been mowing lawns free of charge since 2015 when the then-college student came across an older gentleman struggling to cut his grass.
I pulled over and helped him out, and that night I decided I would start mowing lawns for free, he said. A month and a half later I reached my 100th lawn.
Obviously not a GOPer conservative type grifter.
I am one of the 70% of Democrats who supports Biden on NAFTA/TPP and free trade in general
Biden can win the MidWest by embracing the TPP as is. Farmers and Caterpillar/Deere support the TPP. Trump has damaged the GOP in the Midwest with his opposition to TPP.
Nonetheless, a PoliticoMorning Consult national tracking poll in May found that upwards of 70% of registered Democratic primary voters said Bidens support of NAFTA and TPP would make them more likely to support him. The question moving forward is whether sustained attacks from Sanders and Trump will eat into that number and Bidens sizeable primary lead.

It is time to push back on the lie that NAFTA cost the USA millions of jobs.
Why hasn't Tim Ryan run for the Senate in Ohio vs the sleazy Rob Portman? Is Ohio that red?
2016 Portman 58% vs Ted Strickland 37%
2010 Portman 57% vs Fisher 39%
Why is Portman so popular in Ohio?
