That book was written in 1845.
I wonder what capital thinks about unregulated labor organization and collective bargaining.
It's a mystery.

The greatest president of the 20th century failed the bar exam.
Just sayin'.

OK, DD, obviously you think the "strategy" the dem leadership is employing is the best way forward.
Can you enlighten the rest of us...what the hell is the strategy?
Because from the outside it looks like they are just content to do nothing...which isn't really a strategy.
I do not think it is the best way forward. I favor impeachment.
I understand why they think its impotent to impeach a president to no effect. It looks incredibly weak.

She failed the bar exam on first attempt. That happens but not to anyone, barring some personal issue, who is (1) halfway intelligent and (2) takes it halfway seriously. I think it was (2) in her case but her willingness to be overconfident and rely on her rhetorical talent is probably what's hurting her in these interviews. I don't want that person to be the nominee.
This is not true. I know complete morons who passed the bar exam their first try. I know incredibly smart people who failed their first try. The bar exam is indicative of nothing.

The reality is that our foreign policy circus has created a reality where if you don't have nukes and you threaten our geopolitical hegemony, we will drag you out of a hole in the ground and hang you. And then we get really mad at the countries that pursue nukes to protect their sovereignty.
How else do you expect to run a global empire?

Yep. Any president in our lifetimes would have been impeached after Comey was fired imo.
If not then, they would have been imipeached the day after they got their hands on the Mueller report. Barr would have been impeached as well for his treachery.
And both men would have remained in office.
We'd be in the same place.
That's how leadership sees it. They aren't far off the mark.

Yeah, telling the American people that M4A doesn't require a tax hike is straight up lying.
But guess what, those tax hikes will be offset by lower premiums and deductibles. Just ask your mom, dad, or grandparents.
Medicare for All means moving the entire population to what already exists for those 65 and older. It happens every day in this country without a hitch.

Then maybe we should do something about the border instead of saying Trump was lying about it then after about a year of people saying it was bad. Then the dems look at the packed facilities and calling them concentration camps! Even Bernie said he wants the border closed.
Maybe Donald Trump shouldn't have turned down $25 billion for the border.

Well yeah, Mayor Adler will be pretty easy to beat in the next election considering he's not running. Kitchen can't run for Council either. When I learned of her plans, I thought she'd be easy to beat, but considering how much of the City thinks she's come kind of real estate visionary...now I'm not so sure. Ellis, Cronk or Flannigan should run, but they won't. So that basically removes any chance we have of intelligent leadership.
There's your chance. Dip that toe in the water.

If you read Engels' The Condition of the Working Class in England you will find that employers actually pay their employees handsomely when they are free to do so without gubbinet interference.

You are right, it's curious that a self-applauding population like the progressives of Central/South Austin can't get over themselves when thinking about how much they care about homelessness issues. And when the time comes to deliver a housing solution, these folks run for the hills. Literally. But try and separate out the two debates taking place on the Ben White property. Many are concerned with the new element that will be introduced to the area, perhaps rightfully so. A smaller portion of us are just absolutely dumbfounded at what a bizarre real estate transaction this was, how quickly it was done (and unnecessarily so), and how obfuscated Council kept that HOA and those schools during the turbo'd process.
Travis County just took down an $8.0 property for $8.5 to house the CAD groups. Now this is somewhat apples and oranges but it was a reasonable price, a long close, some contingencies baked in, and they can even rent a bit of the space out to a coffee shop and parking vendor. They engaged stakeholders for a decent amount of time. Just strip away your self-awarded medals for who cares about the homeless more, and pretend this was City of Austin buying a building to house accounting or personnel...this transaction would be above the fold news for incompetence. Not the purpose of the space, we all want to help! Okay, so drop that shit yesterday. I'm talking about the actual transaction. It is beyond the pale for stupidity. Ann Kitchen will have to answer for this, but all she has to do is repeat what the mayor says, "We have to move swiftly and boldly." And you dumbfucks will think, "Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe we should give her more money." It's not about the homeless you fucking children. Look at every facet of this deal/transaction. It's insane how dumb it is. It has kickback/corruption all over it. They literally do not even attempt shit like this in Chicago. That should tell you something.
Then they should be easy to defeat in the next election.

Yeah, but what is the city council’s direct motivation for egregiously subverting the overall well being of Austin with a non solution such as what we’re seeing now?
I don't know. I haven't read the minutes or really paid that much attention because it doesn't bother me.

Interesting. Can you expound on that a bit.
Homeowners and neighborhoods don't want housing or shelters for the homeless built near them. It's the perfect example of NIMBYism and it makes it extremely difficult to come up with solutions for getting the homeless off the street.

There’s no way the city council doesn’t know how wrong they were to unleash this mess. What’s their direct motivation for egregiously subverting the overall wellbeing of Austin?
NIMBYism. Real solutions are opposed at every turn by homeowners.

About 10 million more Americans will vote for Democrats than Republicans in 2020.

Then she might want to buy some new glasses. I don't know her line for impeachment, but if Donald hasn't crossed it yet...then we all might as well just pack up and go back to our ancestral homes.
The only way the Dems lose in 2020 is if they fail to open impeachment hearings. Period.
Their voters will feel dejected and unmotivated to vote, because what's the difference?
The entire Democratic leadership in the House disagrees with your take on the politics of 2020.
That's where we are.

She's worse that the GOP. At least they have a purely partisan reason to defend and enable him. She's just doing it because she's either too weak, or eating at the trough too.
She honestly believes she's making the right call politically. She sees no benefit in impeaching Donald Trump and having him win in the Senate trial. She sees only downside.

No hope for the trumpkins. At a hotel bar and just heard a woman say she loves Trump and 2 other guys saying he just speaks his kind and I've been saying the same thing for years. If you don't like this country then get out. I love America and these Democrats just don't, it's that simple
Their America is gone forever. They just don't realize it yet. It's sad.

They have to start the impeachment inquiry. It might be a year from now but they can’t politically escape starting the process.
If they don’t, it gives Trump an enormous talking point:
“The fake Russia witch hunt hoax was obviously bullshit the entire time, otherwise they would have impeached me!”
No collusion! No obstruction! Angry democrats!
(Pours gasoline all over body, lights match)
He'll have a talking point no matter what. He's already using today's vote as a talking point, so that doesn't matter.
I just have this feeling that she's not going to green light it until she has the votes and she does not have the votes yet.
I might change my mind tomorrow.
