Trumpβ€˜s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

sacrificing for the good of the nation. Apparently this concept is no longer recognized, at least among the wealthiest and most powerful. The United States of America: it's worth dying for but not worth paying for.

The last time the US had a debt burden approaching what we have today was in the WWII era. Not only did people put their lives on hold and gave their lives during that period, but after the war, they paid taxes at a much higher rate than today. Those Americans understood the concept of...

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won?

People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

I will never forget the shock I felt when, as a teenager working a summer job, I was told by an adult coworker that he had seen James West beat up five men on the Wild, Wild West and that James West had to be the toughest guy in the world and realizing that he seriously believed this. Eye opening.

Never underestimate the capacity for people to believe whatever they see on TV, film or the interwebs is real.

Placing your industrial base on a wartime footing while your billionaire backers pay taxes at a 10% (if not avoiding them altogether) is putting your country on the road to disaster, militarily and economically.

Is he really offering to remove something that will cause Republicans painn in the midterm elections (healthcare cuts) until one week after the midterm elections? Then they can do what they want?

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.

But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.

The problem is that there are far too few representatives for our current population. They need to expand the house, by a LOT. Like, we should have around 1500 representatives in the House, maybe 2000.

All my life (in my 70s) people have said we don’t have a democracy because society did not seem democratic enough. & for many in Alabama where I lived it wasn’t. We now have about as much democracy as we have ever had. That said I think we can still improve upon where we are. A more perfect union.

Low birth rates are not caused by lack of fertility drugs. It would be more helpful to lower the cost of all healthcare, and more importantly, the cost of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Afrikaans is a second language for so many South Florida residents. Afrikaaner radio stations playing Afrikaaner music. An Afrikaaner restaurant every other block.
