If it's no BFD, why did Trump's personal lawyer Cohen lie to Congress about it? Why did Trump lie about it to the public? He said a zillion times that he had no dealings in Russia since before the first primary ...

TJ Cox defeated three-term Republican Rep. David Valadao on Wednesday, giving Democrats a gain of seven House seats in California and 40 nationwide — the party’s strongest midterm showing since the Watergate era in the mid-1970s. https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-valadao-cox-victory-201811...

Since the American Chemical Society didn't happen to use your favored terminology, let's by all means ignore what they did say.

bang1 I was referring era's of prosperity, where we built things, we were productive with infrastructure, setting our sights on space, etc. Right, infrastructure like the interstate highway system, paid for by the federal gubmint, and the space program, paid for by federal gubmint. Being a first-wo...

Headline on that S.E. Cupp op-ed:

Conservatives' climate delusion: The GOP must snap out of its mindless denialism so they can sit at the table and start crafting solutions

But that's not going to happen. We have C&S here to demonstrate this way of thinking.

you'll never get me to agree that a colorless, odorless gas, that occurs naturally in nature, is produced by every breathing animal, is essential to plant life & is a great fire extinguisher, is a pollutant. I can't unlearn what I learned in chemistry classes. You must have skipped a few of tho...

With all due respect, I tolerate little of folks that vote for only those that have a chance at "winning" instead of their conscience .....but that's just me Voting your conscience may make you feel good, but only rarely does it advance the agenda you claim to favor. However, the voters w...

There already is a plan. HERE: https://gpus.org/organizing-tools/the-green-new-deal/ YOu don't support this.....why you are a pretend. I support every single item on that list. But I vote Democrat, not Green. Show me a Green with a serious chance to win and I will vote for that candidate. Until the...

I always go back to my original observation... Our planet will do what it wants, when it wants, how it wants, where it wants and there is not a damn thing any human being will ever be able to do to change that. Not even the most intelligent PhD type can prove otherwise. Actually there is plenty of ...

I put gravy (homemade, by me) on mashed potatoes only. I put cranberry sauce on the turkey. My specialty stuffing (cornbread stuffing mix without the spice packet, couscous, diced pears, dried cranberries, and apple cider are the main ingredients) is not diluted with anything.

Exactly. Small farmer (who voted for Trump) vs Monsanto? Who do you think Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will back?

But hey! They're "upholding the Constitution"! Yay!

you skipped the reason a lot of establishment republicans held their noses and pulled the lever for Trump once he got the nomination - and that is the Supreme Court. That was a huge factor for most of those who cringed as they pulled the lever for Trump. It is why he has the support of the Christia...

And the next generation of elites will come from China. My nearby public university is seeing a huge upsurge in enrollment of Chinese students studying STEM. Why? Because they pay full freight, and the U needs the money to keep running at the same level after state support was slashed. (Yes, even in...

The "mean it" part is not simple at all when you don't actually mean it.

Most likely a Russian bot all along ...

But as usual C&S you won't say what you want to cut. Here are your meaningful choices: 1) Social Security 2) Medicare 3) Military Everything else is small potatoes. Want to cut all of it? Ag dept, Ed dept, Commerce, SEC, NSF, DOE, NIH? Think the country will function well then? Notice the money ...

Anyone here think that the Republicans reading this will FINALLY admit that: 1. Trickle down doesn't work. We just gave the 1% even more of our money. Again. 2. Tax cuts don't pay for themselves. They never have. EVERY time, the deficit simply goes up, and we borrow to make up the shortfall. Yeah, ...

Not God, the People!

Good to know voters are paying attention to what the Republicans actually do.

Oh, we will be more than happy to go and take our money with us. The data demonstrate the sheer immensity of California's economy, home to nearly 40 million people, a thriving technology sector in Silicon Valley, the world's entertainment capital in Hollywood and the nation's salad bowl in the Centr...

Back on LP, I predicted this would happen after the Republican tax "cut" actually raised taxes on most Orange County residents. California is the future. The country is following the California script: elect a Republican clown from the entertainment industry as chief executive, figure out ...
