Ari Melber at 6ET is also good but a little early perhaps for those who live in the west.Last edited by frank ryan; 01-09-2019, 08:53 PM.

Beto live streams his trip to the dentist...
O'Rourke talks border during Instagram video at dentist
[ATTACH]9324[/ATTACH]
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) recorded his trip to the dentist on Thursday to showcase his hygienist's experiences growing up near the southern border.
"So I'm here at the dentist and we’re going to continue our series on the people of the border," O'Rourke says in a video posted on Instagram as he receives a dental cleaning.

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Kirsten Gillibrand keeps using this phrase “As a young Mom...”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.9e5b33e89e6d
I mean she is 52 years old — I know she is from New York where maybe the regular age Moms are in their 60s. But just seems very out of touch and off-putting to call herself “a young Mom.” Democrats live in a fantasy world.

Dem's are starting to eat their own...
Beto's excellent adventure drips with white male privilege
[...]
But O'Rourke, tall, handsome, white and male, has this latitude, to be and do anything. His privilege even allows him to turn a loss to the most despised candidate of the cycle into a launching pad for a White House run.
Stacey Abrams, a Yale-trained lawyer, couldn't do this.

This is a pretty cool feature on 538. A few things I thought were interesting:
-Nixon was pretty popular for most of his presidency
-Americans get sick of our presidents over time, with the exception of Clinton
-The shift in approval ratings for George HW Bush are pretty stunning
-The relatively flat rating over Obama's presidency seems like a reflection of the polarization in American politics

Considering how close the race was between Nixon and Kennedy, I'm somewhat surprised at how consistently high the approval ratings were for Kennedy. I would have expected Ike's approval ratings to easily eclipse those of JFK."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

You can see right where Harry Truman starting battling MacArthur."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Curious what others think of this policy proposal by Pocahontas.

I'm a conservative but I think wealth concentration is a growing problem. Inheritance taxes have been the historical way solve it but that seems too slow. I would prefer that such a tax go to cover current deficits rather than to fund new entitlements or "green policies."
