We just got back from the movie. It was great.
I will be very careful with cats in the future. Watch the show and you will see why all cats should be treated with a great deal of respect.
Hickenlooper Won't Call Himself a Capitalist
I watched this on Morning Joe this morning https://politicalwire.com/2019/03/08/hickenlooper-wont-call-himself-a-capitalist/
He added: All these labels have gotten to the point where they divide us from each other.

I think that this candidate hurt himself by trying to be too progressive.
Seat opening on Texas Supreme Court
Kathy Cheng is a great attorney who ran for Texas supreme court against Jeff Brown. Brown was just nominated by trump to the federal court. This means that Abbott can appoint an interim judge who has to stand for election in 2020.

We are hoping that 2020 will be another Texas wave year, Kathy Cheng will hopefully run again. She is a great attorney
Opinion: Democrats might need Biden more than they know
https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1103756960464285696Biden has the reputation for being the eccentric uncle in the room, but in this case, he must play the role of the wise patriarch, there to remind Democrats that they win when they stick to the center-left candidates and that they achieve progressive aims when they win elections. If they pick scary socialists or rank novices incapable of governing (such as Trump!), they will never achieve aims such as checking climate change, expanding health-care coverage, reducing income inequality and keeping the United States safe and respected.
Frankly, thats a message that many, if not most, Democrats already understand. However, they need someone with credibility to say it. Maybe there is someone else in the race or available to run who could do the same, but Ive not spotted such a person. Thats the rationale for Biden to run.
Finally, those independents and disaffected ex-Republicans whose midterm votes flipped the House to Democratic control have a very big stake in this. If the Republicans, as I suspect, are unable to rid themselves of Trump, the country will need one major party that hasnt lost its marbles, one capable of winning and governing. If Trump is the GOP nominee, voters regardless of past affiliation who fear for the countrys future need to work strenuously for a competent and electable Democratic nominee. Otherwise, were in deep trouble.
Rachel Maddow Beats Hannity By Nearly 1 Million Viewers In Ratings Domination
https://twitter.com/politicususa/status/1103797384981737477Evidence shreds GOP argument that tax cuts pay for themselves
The GOP believes in a tax cut fairy and the myth that tax cuts pay for themselves. Tax cuts do not pay for themselves and there is no tax cut fairy http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/evidence-shreds-gop-argument-tax-cuts-pay-themselves
But the Republican tax cuts make that impossible because they dont pay for themselves.
This clearly isnt what the president and his party want to hear. At the heart of contemporary GOP orthodoxy is the idea that tax breaks for the wealthy fuels growth, which leads to good jobs, which leads to more taxpayers, which leads to increased tax revenue, which leads to shrinking deficits.
Even Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), ostensibly her partys most moderate federal lawmaker, defended her support for the regressive Republican tax plan in late 2017 by insisting, more than once, that tax breaks would pay for themselves.
Any chance Collins and her colleagues will look at the ballooning budget deficit and acknowledge they were wrong?

I like Brown and he would have been on my list https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/sherrod-brown-wont-run-for-president
Being president isnt something I have dreamed of my whole life or even for years, Brown said in a statement. My goal for our tour is to make the dignity of work the centerpiece of the Democrats 2020 campaign because I believe thats the way to beat Donald Trump.
