The big news from the Dem debate came when it was over.
Hard to see the Sanders and Warren loyalists kissing and making up after this.
DO LET ME ADD: The Thirty Years Skirmish was funny, by which I mean stupid and pointless. Bernie beat a Republican incumbent in November 1990, 29 years and 2 months ago. Was that within Warren's parameter of "the past thirty years"? Progressive mathematicians are still sorting it out.
Miss M, Brennan's boss was more duplicitous and far stupider.
Posted by: henry | January 16, 2020 at 09:26 AM
And really, what this signals to me is that Sanders is not a popular guy in the party.
Bernie is an incomprehensible bloviating crank who only got national exposure because The Beast has never been popular within large segments of the party, even less than her pervert husband. He got a free house out of sputtering like an idiot so why not continue the grift?

How in the world did Brennan run the CIA with his level of duplicity AND stupidity?
When a compliant opposition party allows an illegal alien to occupy the Oval Office, anything is possible. For me, allowing an unidentified individual to be POTUS is, and always will be, the greatest scandal in US history. The Russia Hoax, impeachment, etc are all offshoots of the travesty that happened in Nov of 2008.

henry, threadkiller,
True. I have to have it drummed into me, because years and years of MSM indoctrination makes it hard for me to accept that many of our highest officials are stupid people and that they lie.
The President has made it far easier for me to accept, because he pulls more curtains back every day.

"Could you explain to me how, if I had been there last week, I would have any greater knowledge than I do about who was driving when a car went off the a bridge 50 years ago?"
I could, but I assume if you really cared about the subject you would have looked at a map. There is no way the event could have happened how you outlined it.
Chappaquidick has one main road which went from Teddy's party to the ferry. He took a sharp right on a dirt road, (with 3 lit up houses) and a sharper left to go over the bridge.
All visible from the road where you said the cops were not interested. If he wasn't driving he could have gone to any of those houses and she would have been saved. If the cops were there she would have been saved.
Why you feel the need to make things about 50 years after the fact is beyond me.
