    Mine were never shot off although my ex wife did her best to try and castrate me.
    Think you've seen the worst the world has to offer? Meet my ex wife.

    That's why you'll get Biden.

    Hillary lost? Oh, well then let's run an old male version of her and keep things the way they are.

    Change on the outside, continuity on the inside. I don't know who coined that phrase but Jimmy Dore says it and it is 100 percent true.

    Wanting "change' is insufficient. You have to know what you want to change, how and why you want it to change, and how to change it.

    This is not an endorsement of Biden, this is a un-endorsement of inchoate calls for change.

    I don't know.....maybe the multiple decades of wars for oil to start? We can figure out where to go from there.

    Thanks for the new word I didn't really need to add to my vocabulary but wanting to stop meddling in the Middle East isn't a new idea. Or inchoate....how did I go almost 45 years and never see or hear that word?

    Guess I should have studied Latin instead of Pig Latin.

    By the way I do think I see your point. It seems like it is either Biden or some massive progressive agenda. Not anything in between?

    How can you compare Biden to Trump and come up with the same prognosis?

    I guess he figured if people would accept covefefe as a word and Pleasure, California as a place, they would accept inchoate as a new word. You gotta take your audience into account when trying to communicate with them.

    I actually went to hear Senator Warren in Oakland - damn, took me over an hour to get through the line and I was early. Place so packed I never actually saw her but sound was good.

    So unlike some of those who scorn her I have listened to what she has to say and she's emerged as my #1 choice. I like that she
    1. has policy proposals, not just vote for me, I'm charming (not saying she's not charming, but I like substance, right, Beto?)
    2. I like most of her positions
    3. Some of her positions may seem unrealistic but I do like her having big ideas, and her basic premise, the thread tying everything together, is problems are structural, not just this or that bad policy or bad individual, although god knows there are plenty of both
    4. When she came out in favor of impeachment she said there is no political inconvenience exception to the Constitution and I though YES! Do what is right even if you think it's not popular.
    5. Unlike many politicians she is forthright, says what she means. Some people say Trump is the same, but when Trump speaks his mind he shows himself as vulgar, vicious, rude, crude, and petty. Warren shows herself as committed, intelligent, and ethical.

    Of course she is a dog person but no one is perfect. I guess I can live with a "first dog" if need be.

    You don’t have a clue what socialism is.

    VA and social security are capitalist benefit programs similar to a pension plan of a private sector. Certain Americans worked their asses off, some risked their lives, and contributed a large portion of their paycheck in exchange for a promise of some basic care in their old age.
