Worth acknowledging we have long been a divorced couple still sharing the same house.Time to fully go our separate ways. Red america can have their selfish theocratic oligarchy while coastal blue America moves forward with revitalized 21st century version of our constitution and commonwealth values.

I’ve said it before, government is too big until you realize how much you need government.

The billionaires are playing Monopoly for real--forgetting of course, that if they do manage to hoover-up all the money in the world, who the hell is going to clean their pool?
As for Leon, he seems to be a fan of Jenga.

They better hope they cling to power for a long time because otherwise, they won’t sniff it again anytime soon.

Take to the streets if you have been or will be affected by these chainsaw attacks, take to the streets. We need to save ourselves.

How did the neocons, starting with Reagan, convince the average working class dude that the federal government was their enemy? How is that a “kitchen table” issue?

How is the massacre of federal programs going to help anyone but the evil greedy leaders and oligarchs? All the money in the world is not going erase the blood on their hands and darkness in their souls!

It’s sad that the more we see of this, the more desensitized we are becoming. Outrage has been replaced by futility. Is there a breaking point, or is it game over? How is the opposition going to restore checks and balances? Is the constitution relevant anymore?

Wow, wow, wow!!!!! I just heard Congressman Al Green's POWERFUL speech after getting censured. He was on point; it gave me the chills. Nothing else needs to be said.

Teddy Roosevelt (R) believed in a government big enough to serve as a check against the tycoons and railroad barons conniving to serve their self interests.

Also, read "Snow Crash" for a vision of your likely future in privatised United States of America.

Well the American people will soon learn how important a competent functioning government is to their lives, and also to the economy. Expect a significant slowdown, dragging us into a recession/depression with high unemployment.
