    Sorry, I wish there was a difference, but if there is, it's small.  If you notice, things have been trending in a particular direction, and that trend has only, if anything, just slowed a bit during the (admittedly brief) recent periods when the Ds have had control of one or more houses of Congress.  Obama did nothing end our imperial wars in the Middle East, for ex.  There may well be individual Ds that have principles and speak out against tax cuts for the rich and increased defense spending, but other Ds vote for those things and they still happen.  If you think the Ds aren't the GOP lite now, you aren't paying attention.  Hillary is about as conservative as Nixon, again, if you leave aside social issues.  Funny pictures don't change that.  

    I forget, which Democrats voted for the most recent tax cut legislation?

    It's not the cops job to tell Starbucks it is being unreasonable.  It's their job to enforce the law.  I don't think they erred on the side of "just arrest them."  They were asked to leave willingly by both the owner and officers.

     

    Yes.

    Are you sure? Duty is a legal term of art. Can Starbuck's sue for damages if the cops don't remove a trespasser?

    I think the cops did the right thing here. 

    They got a call from the Starbucks manager that someone was refusing to leave when asked.  The cops asked them to leave and they still didn't.  They get taken out in cuffs.

    It's the cops duty to remove trespassers, and it's their responsibility to do it with as little force as possible.  I believe we saw both.

     

    What led to the manager calling police isn't clear.  It's likely that both the staff and two black men have some level of fault.

    Are you sure it's the cops' duty to remove trespassers?

    Don't confuse the Baby Boomers with the WWII generation.  

    I'm not. My biggest issue with the WWII generation is its racism coupled with its widespread resistance to the civil rights movement.

    Regardless, to get a warrant SDNY has evidence Cohen committed a crime. They already have his emails through alternate sources apart from the raid on his office. He will be indicted/charged soon enough 

    I can't wait to find out everything he's done for Donald Trump.

    The passing of Barbara Bush really brings it home how quickly the America of our parents and grandparents is fading from view. People have it in their mind that the USA is indestructible. It's just not true.

    For many Americans, the fading of the America of our parents and grandparents is a positive.

    Of course they don't now.............she lost..... to the only candidate not quite as bad as her criminal ass.

    No. A lot of us who voted for her didn't like her when we voted for her. 

    It's undeniable that this country would be in better hands if she had won.

    Which one of you is having crying jags today thinking about that horrible night when your whole world came crashing down as she lost .....to the only candidate in the entire world not quite as bad as she was.

    The backlash will be worth it. No one likes her anyway.

    McConnell is scared of something. 

    I have a feeling he knows that the Senate is about to be presented with an avalanche of evidence showing criminal activity on the part of the president of the United States.

    The crazy conspiracy theorists on the left are of the Glenn Beck variety, like Louise Mensch, and she's still small time.  There's nobody that I know of that's on the pizzagate/Sandy Hook hoax level.   It takes years of cynical con-artists to cultivate that kind of following.   Years of right-wing radio has adled many brains. 

    Anti-vaxxers and anti-GMO people come to mind, but they are mainly grass roots and not as centralized as the loons on the right.

    Guess who gets to make up all of those sweet military hardware sales to Syria if Iran gets their defense industry knocked offline. 

    I wonder if it will be knocked offline with "Made in the USA."

    Fake news "asset" for a group of people who complain about "fake news".  What a world. 

     

    Fake news to them being nothing more than stuff they don't agree with.

    Has anyone ever been as obsessed with polling numbers than this shit stain?

     

    It bugs him to no end that he will never be as popular as Barack Obama.
