Listening to IL Rep. kinzunger (R) on Morning Joe this morning..

Don't know much about him, but he's talking Syria and sounding like a Trumper and a hawk... Anyone here know more?

Florida People..Can I ask a non-political question?

My spouse and I live in the Chicago area, and, after suffering through a long & super cold winter (it's still only 35 degrees here) would like to "snowbird" in Florida next winter..We's prefer to stay in either the Tampa Bay or St. Augustine area.

When is the best time to secure a seasonal rental?..We don't want to be "too late" and get stuck in the freeze again next winter.
Thanks.

Love it..

Anyone get a heads up on "Chappaquidick"?..Is it a hit piece?

Just wondering...I won't see it if it is.

Less obviously than you..

but keep knocking yourself out.

On this issue, I am not..

and I think anyone who thinks Mr. Cloobeck's demands are about billionaire "hurt feelings" rather than his own economic interests is very naive.

As for the idea that he "must believe in fairness to some extent or he'd be donating to the GOP"...No again, I'm afraid. Do you not know that the wealthy frequently donate to BOTH parties?...It's called "hedging your bets" -- Donald Trump has donated to Democrats so often he's been called a "Democrat"...What do you think of his sense of "fairness"?

There's a name for people like Cloobeck's and it's not "Democrat",
it's Libertarian...Libertarians describe themselves as liberal on social issues and conservative on economic ones -- Most Dems call them "Republicans who want to smoke pot and get laid".

As for some "resolution" with doners, I'm afraid I disagree again
. Bernie Sanders showed us a Democrat with a winning message AND good campaign skills doesn't need to placate the wealthy or use corporate cash for campaign financing. His campaign was entirely funded by private doners, and it can be done again.

So Cloobek has ordered Dems to stop saying the word "Billionaire"?

He can go fuck himself -- He's no democrat.. In fact there ARE no Democrats without support for economic justice, and yes, that means calling out Billionaires for stealing the
nation's wealth through Tax Giveaways and cuts to everything from Public Schools to Medicare

Economic and social justice is what the whole friggin: party is based on...These people want to float on social issues only -- Why?.. because those don't COST them anything.


P.S. We already have a "party of business" -- It''s called the GOP.

Good.for you...You did exactly the right thing!

Why does my profile list me as "unwilling" to serve on juries when

I am willing, and never made the choice not to serve on them?

This seems to be an error, and I would like it rectified. Thank you.
