Then why would they vote for a known con man after voting for Bernie?

I wasn't. Then I checked to determine when that poll was taken and it turns out that it was after the DNC convention in 2016 when Hillary was selected - and I see why those 39% changed.

We're good. smile

This is weird.

The NY Times is reporting that Mulvaney has asked a judge for his/her opinion in obeying his boss' order of not adhering to the subpoena to talk to the House Intelligence Committee.

That's got to be awkward given that Mulvaney works 50 feet from Trump.

Nikki Haley freely admits to not wanting to save America from an impulsive, emotionally unhinged, 73 year old man-child who careens from one thought to the next in a parade of non sequiturs, frequently interrupting himself in the middle of a sentence to veer into another free association.

Good to know. smile

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

I had the same reaction.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

BTW, home from 2 weeks at Walt Disney World and facing a manic week which includes: getting a new fence; buying a new car; and entering the VA Medical system. Not to mention, of course, catching up on mail, bills and activities of daily living.

It was my interpretation of what she said ... and I thought she was smart


ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

She's ambitious. She did a few things that pissed off Trump sycophants while ambassador and is trying to bring them back so she can run for president in 2024. I've never liked her because she's such a blatant opportunist.
