What an ass. This is going to be fun.

There was a first Democratic debate? Karl Lagerfeld is dead? I think I'd better start looking at Drudge every day to get the skinny.

[Eric Newhill]

Not surprising. The clown show that is the democrat party is, entirely engaged in a race to see who can be first to go further left than Fidel Castro. These morons apparently actually think that their banana republic recent arrivals and the loud crazy activists that fill their twitter feeds and who lobby them in the swamp are representative of the American people.

Trump is going to win in a landslide that leaves liberals' heads spinning for another four years. I'm truly enjoying the self-immolation of the idiot lefties.

The link is behind a pay wall.

I hope his medical coverage inclures the surgical removal of one or more feet from a mouth.

Comrade de Blasio was rather hilarious. Thanksfully I was spared most of the debate veiwing by family commitments but it looks like a consensus policy of foreigners first and Kamala as the new Media favorite.

[Dave Schuler]

Does anyone have a spare copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" to send him?

[Eric Newhill]

LOL.

Not just товарищ DeBlasio.

Kamala Harris has already, within 24 hours, reversed her debate statement that she supports the complete elimination of private healthcare insurance. She says she didn't understand the question, but me thinks her many constituents who like their employer based plans got on the horn and gave her an earful.

The democrat party is officially a raging dumpster fire belching red smoke, and emitting an intolerable stench of decay.

[Barbara Ann]

Bill, when you get to the paywall turn off JavaScript in your browser (the appropriate browser extension will make this easy), et voilà.

[John Minehan]

Looks like Sen. Harris is the likely nominee and the likely winner of the general election.

"Si, se puedo" y "Hasta la victoria siempre!"

[Bill H]

Kamela is actually running for dictator. She aired a long list of executive orders she would issue on "day one," including citizenship for "dreamers" and their parents. Later she declaimed that she would give Congress 100 days to pass certain legislation and if they did not she would create it by executive order. She might need to read the constitution for the role of Congress.

The whole crowd ranted that entry into this nation without permission should not be a felony, without explaining why they themselves as members of Congress passed the law making it a felony, and why they themselves as members of Congress have not passed a law reducing it to a misdemeanor.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Trump was 1% in the polls at this point in 2015 and Jeb & Rubio were the slam dunks. Kamala is being projected as the next Obama and Warren is also getting the backing of the media establishment. Tulsi's performance while obscured by the media did garner the attention of folks who did watch the debates.

This video is well worth watching. I believe that there is a sufficient amount of voters who feel strongly about this that they could sway the election in the mid-west where the election will be decided.

These are early days and a lot can happen between now and November 2020.

The image is pure political propaganda gold.
And why not let de Blasio quote Che Guevara? If anyone here had forgotten, Che was part of a successful revolution. The Democrat Party is not. Far from it. I haven't heard any Democrat Party politicos call for the workers owning the means of production yet.
Really now, even though I trend to the Left of many who comment here, to call the Democrat Party Leftist is incorrect. A leftist political party filled with millionaires? I'm with Gore Vidal on this supposed political split between the American main parties.
"There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party...and it has two Right Wings: Republican and Democrat."
Now I'll shut up and go back to lurking. Sorry Colonel.

Comrade Minehan

Si, se puede si es posible hacer lo. Comprende?

[Barbara Ann]

Life imitates art. Monty Python saw the insanity coming 40 years ago.

Bill,

"she would give Congress 100 days"
As a Senator she could introduce legislation to do that herself. By her own admission he's part of the problem.

[Fred]

ambrit,

FDR did a pretty good job of revolutionizing the federal government. LBJ extended that with the "great society" programs.

[Patrick Armstrong]

But, in my simple way, from up here in the Frozen North, where the Mosquito is Canada's National Bird, thought, in my Lumberjack ignorance (cue Monty Python), that the USA had solved all its medical care concerns with Obamacare, aka The Affordable Care Act,
And yet, that's all they're talking about (apart from She Who Must Not Be Named.)

[semiconscious]

thank you! & always remember, kids: don't believe the hype :) ...

[emboil]

Kamala has a lot of skeletons in her closet. Just wait.

[Lars]

First of all, there is a long way to go. Fairly soon, many of these candidates will no longer be viable and nobody at this time knows who they will be. The only thing keeping Trump up is the economy, which in most parts he inherited. There are signs that the economy is slowing down and not just the US economy, but the world economy. Guess who will be blamed for any noticeable deterioration? In the meantime, let me remind everybody with a crystal ball, that you may end up eating a lot of broken glass.

[rswojo]

Kamela Harris is just another neoliberal Republican in Democrat clothing.

[rswojo]

Is that possible? I think that they can replace/convert their male parts into female parts but to get pregnant would require ovaries and all the associated plumbing. Thankfully, I don't think medical science is there yet.

I am somewhat liberal but this trans crap goes too far. You are what you are, period.

[optimax]

Delaney seems like the most moderate and realistic of the candidates. That's why he won't last and also he looks like Elmer Fudd. Everybody else is just offering bribes to their people.

Was reading an 1895 Reform Advocate on the New York Digital Library. An article there talked about industry owners needing to treat their workers better and pay them a decent wage to stave off a revolution of angry workers. The writer believed in capitalism and warned of its destruction due to greed. To paraphrase something else he said: "When a people lose their faith in God, all they have left is to stare at each others wounds."

That's where we are today in America: real and percieved wounds give a person, through their group identity, moral authority according to the past oppressions their group suffered. Repairative Justice. Kamela showed us her wounds and wounds are a great commodity these days.

Best snarky review of both Dem debates by the inimitable James Kunstler of Clusterfuck Nation...

Say Anything! https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/say-anything/

… Swalwell touched off the main event by tossing a hand-grenade at Uncle Joe for failing to relinquish the torch that he has selfishly not passed to the next generation (of politicians) — the catch being that said torch may be used to burn down what’s left of the republic. The attack seemed to give front-runner Joe the vapors. He insisted he has more torch songs yet to sing. That cued Sen. Kamala Harris (CA), playing Shiva Destroyer-of-Worlds, to jam the torch right into Uncle Joe’s smiling puss, saying that the ex-Veep’s recent remarks about making nice with the senate’s staunch segregationists of yore was “hurtful” to her personally. For a moment, I thought she was going to belt out a rendition of that old tearjerker, “Feelings.” Uncle Joe will now have to wear the scarlet “R” on his forehead until his campaign whirls down the drain — without even having to answer questions about just how come his son, Hunter, came up with zillion-dollar payments from Ukraine and China well before the advent of Mr. Trump.

The whole thing is hilarious, enjoy:)
