Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good

Democrats should commit to expanding the Supreme Court and ignoring all of Donald Trump's pardons issued prior to charges. It's what Republicans would do if the roles were reversed.

What we have built together over these past 12 months is nothing short of extraordinary.

12 more days to bring it home.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit."

Taxing the rich works!

All these guys were supposedly cleared by the NBA, huh? Look guilty as sin right now according to info released by the FBI.

So can we assume the NBA investigation into Kawhi/Clippers/Aspiration will be as "thorough" as this recent gambling "investigation"?
