@ewarren is not a socialist....

Norman Thomas Says No -- That What Roosevelt Has Done Is To Lay the Foundations for a Structure of State Capitalism nyti.ms/1HfeXBG
mentions I agree with the 57.41% of Americans who in 1932 supported the New Deal of FDR. I disagree with the 2.23% who supported the socialism of Norman Thomas.
What would have happened if the Democrats had nominated Thomas?
Don't know.
Don't want to find out.
I'm voting @ewarren.
mentions Norman Thomas, to his credit, kept his shirt on at all times and stayed sober whenever he was around the Soviets.

Perv Patrol says it’s time for Gym Jordan to resign. Coaches and university department heads who ignore bad conduct should be fired, not sent to Congress.

Former Ohio State University wrestler calls out GOP Rep. Jim Jordan: "It’s just going to get worse" salon.com/2020/02/15/for…
If coach Jordan can’t even bother to find out what’s going on in the team locker room, why would voters send him to Washington to conduct oversight of what’s going on in the entire executive branch? That’s nuts.
Would a sane university administration reappoint a department head or coach who looked the other way from obvious misconduct. No — unless they want to get sued. Why would voters want to send such a man to Congress?
@Jim_Jordan?

We should have learned our lesson 4 years ago.
It is embarrassing, to say the least, when a major party nominates a man who fantasizes about rape to run for the White House.
It's even more embarrassing -- and disastrous for our Country -- when he wins.

nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/…
With the bar this low, all the Democrats need to do is nominate someone who does not fantasize about rape and they will have nominated someone better than @realDonaldTrump.
Easy question:
Would you feel safe alone with this man in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman?
If not, don't date him. Don't work for him.
And don't elect him president, either.

"This is a president who thinks Article II of the Constitution allows him to do whatever he wants."
Claire Finkelstein
(at 56:00 on the tape)
Jonathan Turley's response: This is like being a Bears fan and arguing with a Packers fan ....
She demolished him.

When a woman has you cornered in a debate, just talk football.
Amazing how that can work for a guy — sometimes.
Not to mention the fact that Professor Finkelstein is a better debater than any of the presidential candidates except possibly @ewarren.
The worst debater of all is @realDonaldTrump.
Sadly that may not matter.

#Löger ist ein Lobbyist privater #Pensionsversicherungen. Was er über das staatliche #Pensionssystem sagt ist schlicht falsch. Österreich kann es sich gut leisten, Menschen nach 40 Jahren Arbeit ihre #Pension auszuzahlen. Aber Löger will ein Millionengeschäft für Versicherungen.
Etwa 6 Prozent der staatlichen Ausgaben fließen in die Pensionen. Die Beiträge der Versicherten decken die Pensions-Auszahlungen immer besser. Für den Zeitraum 2016 bis 2020 werden vom Staat insgesamt 4 Milliarden weniger für das Pensionssystem ausgegeben als erwartet.
Misst man die staatlichen Ausgaben am BIP, zeigt sich: Der Anteil bleibt in den nächsten Jahren stabil – obwohl die Zahl der Personen, die ins Pensionsalter kommen, steigt.

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018
.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx
.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote
