Re: Trump's tweet about the fires...

Since when do you refute Trump’s word vomit with logic and facts? While you’re offended by this episode he’s already moved on and offended three other groups, even worse than this one, and continues to suffer no consequences. Unfortunately the current version of the Republican party has abdicated an...

Re: Yes, Please!

In pushing Flake out, the Repubs may have won the battle but appear to be losing the war (although there are may votes left to be counted) - Flake's seat looks to have been flipped. Flake is a weasel. Kasich has the most credible opposition, one that would be most uphill for the Dems if he knocks of...

Re: Dems take the House

No. It's the definition of "Democrats bunching all of their votes in too few districts." If the # of Republican and Democratic voters is roughly similar, but Republican votes are spread out in as many 55-45 districts as possible, while Democratic votes are concentrated in 75-25 districts,...

Re: Dems take the House

...............to look at the data over several election cycles dating back decades knows that the Democrats' biggest problem in the House is the overconcentration of votes in too few districts . Isn't that the definition of 'gerrymandering', when done intentionally (cf. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Mi...

Re: Why I don't watch SNL

Hey Seahawk, what are you doing? Providing a roadmap on how Pete Davidson can get the Republican nomination for President? If yes, please add "committing sexual assault and admitting it on tape" and "support White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis" to the list.

Re: Voting Today

Permanently on the vote-by-mail list. Filled out my ballot on Saturday and dropped it in the mail box. No stamps needed! How civilized!! San Mateo County (next one north of us) has only vote-by-mail. Interesting experiment. Wonder how the turnout will compare. Of course, in our State we believe that...

Re: My challenge to the dedicated "Right"

You dont have to hit at 100% to do good. There are thousands of lives made better thanks to government assistance on a daily basis. There are improvements to be made but scrapping it is stupid. I agree...the problem is, and my state knows this well, is that government is (often times) wasteful, cor...

For the record, still no answer to the original question. No one can yet point to something that is an improvement (vast or not) over the past two years from the eight before.
