Not the fault of the Constitutional Monarchy system...a level of protection above the politicians for the People.

Good for politicians to have to swear allegiance to the Monarch, and know their place in the scheme of things.

It did not take long for Pocahontas to play the sexist card. Bernie said something two years ago, really?   Playing to liberal elite women who have been passed over?  Just taking her lead competition down? Hissy fit?

Damn! Could you have fit more racism and sexism in that post?

Republicans responded with an attack on institutional legitimacy. “The ‘nonpartisan’ GAO is run by someone confirmed to a 15-year term in 2010 under a Democrat president, Democrat-controlled Senate and Democrat House,” complained New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin.

What’s the deal with CNN and Warren trashing Bernie.
Not that I don’t relish a Socialist being trashed.
But how does Jeff Zucker get off calling the shots for the democrats?

you might want to talk to him about that.
In any event he is not presidential material. But he deserves a fair shot at the nomination.

1) 13 months, jerk.

2) She did not raise the point. Four others did. Sanders called them liars before the CNN 'debate' host asked her about it.

3) When she was asked about it, would you have had her deny it or shut up?

"Hissy fit"

Misogynist.

Gee, Trump broke the law.

Who knew?!

I had heard the law said the money needed to be allotted by end of the fiscal year

GAO has an opinion.  OK.

The government agency whose job is to interpret such things did their job.

Kid has an opininion that their opinion doesn't matter. (Hint: It is not an opinion - it's a ruling.)

Okay.

The US-China trade deal is "Good for China, Good for America, and Good for the world" said my radio news today.

No it's not. It's good for China, and good for America.
Not good for Australia or anyone else exporting to China.

Mostly, it is good for China, while largely giving us back what we had before Trump's tariffs, plus some sales of rare earth when what we need is theirs.

This is what Josh thinks the GAO is:
https://www.gao.gov/dsp/3mission.html

They did their job, which is more than you can say about President Trump, either when he held up the Ukraine money for personal political purposes or in his holding up Puerto Rico's aid.
