OH GREAT! What the hell am I going to do with the 147 cases of hearts of palm on my back porch now?

Flexibility? As in banning abortion in ALL cases, or not allowing ANY counties leverage over local wage hikes and civil rights enforcement in hiring or housing allowances?

They can buy in bulk, too. It makes much more sense to give cash than to buy food to donate.

A pervert, a con artist and a fascist walk into a bar. Bartender says, "What'll it be, Mr. President?"

Honestly, it's what happens when you get your news from Twitter. Notice that's all this dude really posts. He sees something on twitter and posts it here, completely ignorant to what the asshats he pushes do otherwise.

My guess would be that until *very* recently, New York's prosecutor's office under Cy Vance was notably corrupt and lenient on wealthy suspects. I can understand their reluctance to transfer cases about people that rich and connected to an office that has been completely untrustworthy in such cases and only just got rid of Vance.

And this is what's wrong with block grants. My governor wants to do this with Medicaid. I can just imagine. "Yes sir, you've been diagnosed with cancer. Here's you some cream corn. and wax beans!"

Trump has a heart attack and dies. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Trump thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell. "No!" Trump said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented Trump.

The Devil opened a third door. In it, Trump saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Trump looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this."

The Devil smiled and said, "Monica, you're free to go".......

Better not show any "flexibility" in your unblinking support of King Trump, Bobby.

Oh sure, and that is exacerbated by the isolating effect of poverty be it rural or urban. I have seen and heard so many poor people who look just like them blaming each other for their own problems that I think the bootstraps myth is more generally pervasive. I also think it's more broadly promoted in popular culture and harder to define and debunk.

You're quoting the Jacobin, you nit.

I don't even like Pete and he has a better plan for LGBTQ rights than Sanders.

Not to mention, you're ample evidence of why a lot of us don't trust Sanders. You're a dismissive pig, and you demonstrated it with that gif.
