    Read what I quoted when I said it. I wasn't alluding to anyone. I was making a joke based on someone else's post.

    Have you tried to buy coffee at a Starbucks recently. It is not exactly cheap for brown water with sugar... ;)

    Not at all. Opposite in fact.

    Neither Pelosi or Schumer have read the Obamacare Act, and they never intend to. Because it doesn’t apply to them. They haven’t even read the obstruction they are trying to stop the President’s NE with. They don’t read anything ever. It’s an impossibility. If they were required to read everything they vote on they would still be reading the Obamacare Volumes. Everything is written by lobbyists and donors in their interests and our reps vote as they are ordered to vote by their handlers.

    I was involved for years with Mfg/Distribution, and Retail categories have changed dramatically over the years.
    Department Stores used to rule years ago - Sears, JCP, Wards then came, Discount Stores - Kmart/Target/Walmart, then, Big Box Home Improvement category, HD & Lowes, then you have the club/member category Costco/Sams and of of course now you have e-commerse that everyone is using. Walmart is still the largest retailer as most Americans like discounts with multiple sku's.
    You will see more parties being a factor down the road as the voting consumer will be looking for options rather than the Old Department Store limited option of Dems & Repub.

    If the social Dem's cant overtake the democratic party they will eventually split off, same with conservatives that don't like the direction of the repub. party.

    I drink coffee black as well. Not everything has to divide. Coffee should be a universal unifier.

    Your attempts at math are amusing but irrelevant.

    Americans under the age of 18 can’t vote. Guess how many?

    When people refer to large cities that have been logistically stacked by the deep state to vote as a political bloc to overthrow our republic they are referring to the greater metropolis areas, but you knew that.

    We now have a rep in Congress who openly represents ISIS because Obama smuggled in 70,000 Somalis and set them up in a single formerly small town.

    Massive government sponsored, hand picked immigration is why these areas have grown so rapidly in only one political party.

    This method of overthrowing governments has existed for millennia, and is just one of many evils that the EC was enacted to prevent.

    I'm pretty sure you can get arrested for that.

    Wouldn't an Electoral University be better than a College?

    They're drug dealers, they're rapists, and some I'm sure are fine candidates.

    You should really listen to others besides the propaganda that's thrown at You daily.

    No one is advocating for any of that.

    What propaganda is that! and from where?
    Ive listen to Sanders, Harris & Cortez on CNN talk about their positions that certainly lean Demo socialistic, am I not allowed to dis agree with that approach to government even as moderate who had liberal leanings and fiscal conservative leanings. For you to paint what I personally believe in as propaganda, is wrong I wouldn't say that to you.

    Wait now, that’s not right.

    What’s the Russian equivalent of Walmart?

    Maybe we should have an electoral community college for those to learn from and then graduate to the regular electoral college.
