Indeed. However, people choose to join a cult and to stay in there. While walking away might be hard at first it's ultimately worth it. Parnas will find he's out by default and has nothing left to lose. Will that serve as a lesson to the other members? Not if they believe they're immune.
Lieu is a smart chap. I'm fairly sure he already knows that. He's also level-headed and thoughtful. Okay, I'm fangirling. I have a massive weak spot for men who love truth and are willing to put their money where their mouths are where this is concerned.
My (admittedly biased prediction): Nunes will back down because Lieu wants the information discovery would bring.
Guys, the Democrats don't walk in lockstep. There are right-wingers (Blue Dog) and an assortment of progressive/liberals all the way through to outright socialists.
By contrast, the GOP is exclusively composed of different kinds of right-winger. The one outlier I know of is Governor Bill Weld, who seems like a reasonable, sane person. Until more evidence of the existence of other reasonable, sane GOP members is brought to my attention, I'll continue to believe that.
Sure, because no Democrat ever wanted to make money working for the government. They're not greedy in the slightest!
I can't argue with that, but Dems tend to be less upfront about their hunger for $.
OH MY GOD, more babies are being born! We must stop this RIGHT NOW! How about stop killing children?
If you honestly believe a zygote == a child, hold funerals for tampons. After all, a pregnancy might have failed, killing the "child."
No, just don't give them special rights.
They only want the same rights as everyone else. When they demand I walk around wearing nothing but a leather bikini and a ball gag (imagine at your own risk; I'm 48 and hate exercise), I'll worry.
>and — at least in some right-wing circles — reinstate segregation as a demonstration of the inherent superiority of White people.
Wow, you're a dumbass.
No, he's right. Trump did exactly that. He's still doing that. Have you heard of white kids being put in cages lately? Me neither.
I hope Devin Nunes goes forward with this lawsuit. The consequences could be…enlightening.
You've misspelled "entertaining." It's fun to watch dimwits shooting themselves in the foot, then hop about squealing like pigs and blaming it all on other people.
It's been there since before 2005, so I daresay it was grandfathered in. Rezoning as retaliation for court action to make the city do its damn job? Not okay!
Yep. They're not bitter about all of the above; if that were true they'd all be Bernie Bros. They voted for the racist because they wanted a right-wing answer to their issues, forgetting that the joke is on them; there ain't one. Right wing policy is basically. "Screw you, poor people!"
When they have worked their entire lives, playing by the rule book, knowing that the company they are working for is making a profit, but still their job is moved overseas.
While being lied to during every election...
Finding that they are unemployable. Learning first hand that age discrimination is extremely popular, legal, and accepted in this country.
Don't know why someone who has been screwed over that bad would be bitter.
Mad idea: vote for someone who actually, genuinely cares about those things. The choice is between the man who would funnel the nation's money up to the already rich or the one who would funnel the nation's money down to the less well off. Which one would most benefit you and how?
What Stephen is saying is, if Scott Adams was better known and more relevant to people's interests, his page would float to the top. Try getting people to search for topics with his name in the mix, then see what happens. When Scotty is the go-to for information, that's when his views will come front and centre.
Is he interesting or useful enough for that to happen?

Be fair, Thad. When it seems that everyone is coming at you with knives, anything that looks like it might be sharp is automatically suspicious.
Mr. Greenwald, settle down. You're among friends. We might not agree with you all the time but we're certainly not out to get you.
