He can offer pardons for folks worried about the consequences. Wonder about Gordon Libby and Oliver North types.

My rational self agrees but l know how I felt and what I thought during the debate. Can’t be unseen, can’t be spun away. There are serious, life long D’s despairing and telling them to chill won’t cut it. Gonna require a lot of work, including considering change.

Sounds like Justice Thomas would appreciate a Senate Judiciary hearing to discuss all these allegations and set the record straight

In-group rejection of violence is perhaps the most important constraint on political violence. Setting group norms against violence is critical, especially when violence threatens to become more widespread.

I think we can all agree that the lunch counter diners in Greensboro NC should have waited for the proper permits from Woolworths.

Not sure why she feared it. Nice collection of things largely known. Her disdain for Louisiana Tech President a new little detail. But, not an appealing person.

Overdrive had a search filter for awards, for example Booker, and that was the feature I really liked.

Speculation. Early buyers hoping to fleece the rubes b4 or when Trump sells. Hard to see it working out for them. Those looking something in return will surely buy and on the down low.

This is exactly right. As written, pre and post expansion, Medicaid is a state run program, dependent on annual state level funding, regulation, administration and politically vulnerable.

Physicians refuse Medicare in far fewer cases than Medicaid.

Maybe, but Medicaid expansion requires action by every state every year. Not sure that meets the least resistance principle. Medicare-a federal entitlement-does not. And, the means testing goes better. Higher income pays higher premiums.

Not sure where I fall on the leftist liberal continuum but using it to reflect on my identity, the GOP bad faith, especially in Congress, moved me from liberal to leftist. Not a disdain for incrementalism

I can't stop thinking about how ESPN continues to platform Aaron Rodgers to spew insane conspiracy theories rooted in right-wing politics and yet unceremoniously fired Jemele Hill for a tweet truthfully stating that Donald Trump surrounds himself with white supremacists.

Thanks for the link. I suspect he knows keeping quiet in this instance means it will go away faster. Critics on the left aren’t especially interested or bothered by drug use and the right will happily memory hole it.

Rudy Giuliani was my graduation speaker. Some students turned their back to protest. In 2002. Year after 9/11. Turns out they knew better than the rest of us.

It’s so funny that such a huge part of most cop shows is pretending that we currently have socialized law. Doctor shows don’t pretend we have socialized medicine, do they? (I don’t watch them)
