Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

It's absurd. If they are all celebrating I guess they can stop complaining.

People seem kind of stupid about this but if those 22 Aran nations did ot support going after Iran, this would not be happening.

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

Yep. But it's the RNC that told them the product was safe along with the GOP Congress. That's a problem. Interesting though how little responsibility GOP voters take. John Roberts had to tell them Tariffs are taxes on them because they didn't believe that either.

And they aren't the same allegations as from the beginning because no one had seen any documents or heard from any witnesses or victims on this topic. And Cabel News reporters DO indeed say so on air.

Better policy? You live in a free country and people are allowed to buy cars. Maybe think about the fact that gas taxes are generally charged at the pump and for electric cars, governments are doing to have to figure out a better way to pay for roads. Chaw on that and don't be a jerk.

It's voters who did this. You would not believe the constant bull shit we took during the Tobacco cases by voters--American consumers--who somehow thought the fraud that the Tobacco companies had inflicted on everyone was somehow the fault of the individuals who smoked believing it was safe.

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

Because he cant' arrest Putin. That's way it's stupid. Although I would love to see Putin in prison there is not time that he is gong to be arrested in NYC. THATS WHY. Saying stupid things just because people agree with them does not make one smarter or more capable.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
