Restate the question, pretend like I don't understand what you are talking about, because I don't.

I know this is probably hyperbole but the possibility exists that Adam Schiff is just an idiot.

Being anti Trump does not therefore change one's intelligence level.

He's the Democrat Nunes.

Yes, the whole "Trump is a mobster" thing is stupid.

Does he maybe, kind of talk like one, or maybe act like one? Who cares, he used to brag about knowing the mafia, he just thinks they are cool.

As much as I like congressional hearings to be public, I do prefer them to be private, because then people don't treat it as a reality show.

That was stupid of Schiff, I think the bigger problem is this country is literally run by idiots on both sides.

If the NRA is having money problems now, imagine losing their tax exempt status.

It's getting hard to believe that the NRA didn't get money from Russian sources for their 2016 campaign spending.

effective marketing costs money. so i think the NRA being a loss leader for the firearm industry isn't really a big issue.

Perpetual victim-hood.
Rupert’s oldest son has been holding strategy conversations with Fox executives and anchors about how Fox News should prepare for life after Trump. Among the powerful voices advising Lachlan that Fox should decisively break with the president is former House speaker Paul Ryan, who joined the Fox board in March. “Paul is embarrassed about Trump and now he has the power to do something about it,” an executive who’s spoken with Ryan told me. (Ryan did not return a call seeking comment.) But a person more sympathetic to Trump has told Lachlan that Fox should remain loyal to Trump’s supporters, even if the network has to break from the man. “We need to represent our viewers,” the source said. “Fox is about defending our viewers from the people who hate them. That’s where our power comes from. It’s not about Trump.

Quite a sight - the Climate Strike is going on in Fayetteville today - exactly on the day when 250,000 Harleys are roaming through the city without any purpose - in preparation for tomorrow's Bikes, Blues and BBQ 2019 "Parade of Power"!

My god. Democrats are seriously going to lose the easiest election in history to win. They are going to nominate someone so far left that trump will be re-elected.

Clinton was about as moderate a Democrat as you'll find these days and she still lost to Trump.

Agreed. She was easy to hate. And she was easy to feel ambivalent about. The Dems need a candidate voters can be passionate about and that will get out the vote. A "meh" candidate is bound to lose because too many democrats will stay home whereas the Trump loyalists will turn out in droves.

I actually don't think the Ds have a chance regardless of who they nominate.

Dems look content to show there is more than one way to screw a pooch. I imagine we find out the inequality virtue-signalers are a mighty small group. Most people care about their own situation, but nevertheless she persists (hey yo!). Her message is going to maker her less palatable to the middle in 2020 than Hillary was in 2016.

I mean if your goal and viewpoint is to destroy our economy and way of life, then Warren is your candidate.

Actually, Bernie would be that candidate. Warren wants to fix capitalism, not destroy it.
