i like bernie and all but this whole "got absolutely torched in the primary but would have won the presidential election easily" thing is basically move up where they respect your raises

The whole "we never looked at the DNC server" thing is a bad look. Not clear if it was necessary but still.

Indeed when you ignore all context it's very similar. Anyway it's a pointless argument now

To be fair, after the hyper accuracy of Berniemath during the primaries, we should give a little more deference to the prognostications of Bernie fans

No, but from what I'm reading they'll stay home because both candidates are RAGING RACISTS/SEXISTS (i.e. white men).

Sure until you realize that ability to win a Dem primary and ability to win a general election have very little to do with each other in 2016. The primary is a voting contest among people who are all going to vote for whichever one wins anyway.

More than they destroyed Clinton on "insert random thing here" and "insert thing #2"? Why?

So....his floor was 7 more electoral votes than Clinton?

These are great reads, thanks

Trump is going to make good on BUILDING THAT WALL

And who's gonna pay for it???

history's greatest podcaster

only semi joking

It is highly depressing going from a guy publishing articles in a law review to a guy who can only communicate in sentence fragments.

bc repubs are better at the game. and russians.

being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary

Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got "swamped" (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT. So much for....

lol

a perma-butthurt president can't be a bad thing can it?

Right but that's what I meant. More than repubs and Russians "destroyed" clinton too. Saying they will destroy Bernie on socialism may be true but it's not like they just left clinton alone because she wasn't a socialist. The question is whether "socialist" is more persuasive than "corrupt." It may be and in the 50s or 70s it was but it isn't obvious it would be now

its totally the media that is dishonest here

sad!

So if I understand it we've gone from the wall being 2 billion to 5 billion to 10 billion to 15 billion BUT MEXICO WILL PAY to we're gonna pay. BUT MEXICO WILL PAY US BACK

Good work, cucks

So the taxpayers pay for the wall then Mexico pays for it. Do the taxpayers get that money back or what

man a lot of stupid and backward things are gonna happen just cuz a few million people like bad stand up comic who says what 'we're all thinking'

Before we even worry about who is going to pay for it, I'd like to see a simple plan that shows exactly where the planned wall will be built and what material it will be made out of.

he didn't get to be the king of debt without plying his craft

I'm not as sold as many people might be after reading this.

Whist reading I was thinking "Man if only we could get someone in a position of power who understand the problem this well. Oh wait."

While it's certainly a step in the right direction to have a sitting president shine a ray of light, however small, on the egregiousness that is the US Prison State it's discouraging considering there still is an order of magnitude more inmates in Federal prison than there was when I was born. That's a 1000% increase against a population increase of ~40%.

Obama is (correctly) stating he's the first president to leave office with less people federally incarcerated than when he began and attributing it to his policy actions; but it's clear that the general trend has been a leveling off of the growth in the US prison population since 2008 both federal and state, where the Executive has very little if any affect. (Outside of the bully pulpit, which sadly O did not avail himself of imo)

IOW How about less spiking of the football about being the tallest midget and more actual reform.

Maybe we are hitting some sort of right wall the % of citizens that it's politically acceptable to jail, or, more likely imo, is budget constraints since 08 are leading to more plea deals less incarceration.

At any rate it's not obvious that his policy's had much effect. And even if we grant that they did, for someone who seemingly has a grasp on the magnitude of the problem it's super frustrating to see how little he did.

The best material
