Senator Warren should really think before she speaks/tweets...

"Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump."

I disagree.

Israel does want a two-state solution, if only for reasons of demographics.

The question is more on of modalities and where the border should be. This is a debate that leads to deadlock as the Isareli and Palestian positions are unreconcilable.

If only the focus of the debate could be moved away from the border and towards say, questions of trade and economic cooperation, things would look much better. Both sides benefit from the workforce that crosses the border every day to work on Israeli farms for example. And this could be developed much further. Israeli companies could build factories in Palestine. Palestinian companies could also beneft from collaborations with their Israeli counterparts. Universities could collaborate. Research. Education. Healthcare. The sky is the limit.

There are plenty of other cases of disputed borders in the world and even in Europe (think Gibraltar) where both sides side-step that question and say, we won't forget this problem entirely and we'll maybe fix it some other day, but for now we'll talk about things that we can agree on.

But as a first step, the Palestinain leadership could say, you know what, we'll stop hollering and bickering about Jerusalem. That's not the same as giving it away or dropping our claim entirely, but you know, there are more important things. So let's talk about that now.

Meh, the Democrats still don't have a platform, nor a playbook they learned from this, unless they want to conjure up hundreds of sexual allegations for 2018.

The big losers here are Bannon and Trump, who both went all-in.

But kudos to all the warm hearted people of Alabama who made a decision:

FTFY

AFAIK, the only serving Democrat to have such allegations against him is Al Franken, who subsequently stepped down.

The have Conyers and Bill Clinton to reckon with, along with a slew of donors from Hollywood. A long history of Ted Kennedy, who appears to have killed someone, and others in the past who they perfectly tolerated, as long as they are Democrats.

Funny, "moralism" is a newly found value for the Democrats, after decades of fighting Republicans on issues of moralism. Works for the myopic and easily persuaded, but not so for those with longer memories.

He ran on an election ticket of taking Britain out of the EU.

It seems he succeeded.

Is there any way his active participation in these boards and comissions would have expedited the process? If not, why criticize?

Not media alleged; it was the victims who alleged.....

Making allegations against the Democratic party without any evidence is a fine tribute to Trump's methods.

How would you like it if we made such false claims about you?

It is stupid politics that has nothing to do with real problems and issues. Appeals to people who lack a good soap opera TV show.

37 and counting. I think that is just the tip of the iceberg.

I would love to see ALL professional politicians wiped off of Washington DC, left and right, and replaced by real everyday Americans dealing with issues that affect real everyday people; doctors, lawyers, bakers, plumbers, etc. It is suppose to be a representative democracy, not a damned plutocracy.

When ..........

ALABAMA


votes Democrat - you know something is seriously amiss.

Won't be long now.

how very true ....

buahahaha

Resume Planned Parenthood's eugenics program!!!

Perhaps future generations will see Trump as an agent of change?
(Or a paradigm of the law of unintended consequences.)

Completely agree. However, we need campaign finance reform, lobby reform and the overturn of Citizens United.

We need have a serious news media that doesn't distract people with stupid shiny objects.

The culture war will likely heat up, as the Republicans overturn the Johnson amendment. To date, non-profits are able to advocate politics, except for churches. Overturning it will unleash advocacy from religious organization.

Identity politics is killing serious discourse about finding real solutions for real problems. But it appears they want to stay in la la land instead of focusing on realities.

The media only say what their audience wants to hear. Thus the media don't like to challenge the core beleifs of their client base. People need to learn to think critically. But I don't see how that's going to happen or where it's going to come from.

I think the Johnson amndment needs to go, because it is an unfair discrimnation. But I don't think removing it will make a huge difference overall. There are already plenty of ways to work around it. Removing it is more a question of honesty than of cultural change.

True

But most non-profits don't have their basis in fairy tales.
Anyway, when you look at some of the extravagances of some of the more vocal tele-evangelists, it's hard to see how they are non-profit.

Should churches, mosques, and synagogues etc be taxed too?

Israel wants one designed according to its wishes. That's not Palestinean sovereignty. Alternatively something similar to the status quo, a Palestine run under its supervision and authority.
Absolutely not. As a first step Isral is to give back the land it stole.

You're ridiculous.

Seeing non-ridiculous ideas such as holding the well being of an entire nation to ransom over a question of pride haven't managed to bring peace, maybe it's time to give more ridiculous ideas a chance - such as fostering trade and creating jobs?
