So ,
Beto is a Capitalist!
Biden will have to run as one., too.
If I were AOC I wouldn’t rule out a return to bartending.

Because what a defeated Senatorial candidate from Texas has as a stance in running for president and the influence it might have on a prior presidential candidate and vp's next run has such a profound impact on a sitting US Rep who is not running for president.

You make zero sense.

With the exception of Sanders, every serious candidate for President is a Capitalist, including Biden. Other than your, and the rest of the right's, peculiar obsession with her, that fact is utterly irrelevant to AOC.

Tech support workers for AOL and for other companies can work from their home offices now, so those would be good home jobs, and that will mean fewer people stuck in traffic jams, and cleaner air. People can do so many jobs from home with modern technology.

Salute,

Tony V.

Morris Dees fired from SPLC, rather mysterious and something of a shock. 


RIP Birch Bayh.  Maybe a real link next time instead of twitter?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/14/us/college-admissions-scheme-lawsuit-class-action/index.html

Stanford students initiate a class action suit against the colleges exposed in this admissions scandal, claiming the value of their degrees has been lessened - future employers may question whether they got in on their own merits or by cheating.

I think the suit should be tossed - they are suing the wrong people. Plus, if they graduate, then how they got in ceases to be quite as much of a shadow on their aptness for the institution(s).

Sounds like the Grutter v. Bollinger and Fishers I and II cases against Affirmative Action...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/13/politics/senate-vote-yemen-war-powers/

The Senate Democrats and 7 Republicans voted to restrain the administrations Yemen activities. It won't be enough to override a veto, but it's a start.

Well.....no,  That's GOVERNMENT

The debate over whether the GOVERNMENT has overstepped in Yemen remains to be finished.

But there is no reason for you "well.....no." My comment is exactly right. Yours is not wrong, but neither is it a correction of mine.

and, just FYI, an ellipsis has three dots.


“just FYI, an ellipsis has three dots.”



Been yapping to him about that for years...

Too many foul tips to the dome, I guess.
