Now they're fairly well unified under the iron yoke of Pelosi. I doubt that the republicans will pull any dems over unless they make a deal with the party leadership as a whole. Which they don't actually want, they're probably looking for a way to blame the oncoming shutdown/default in the dems.

Next Republican Debate is Oct. 28 then the following is Nov. 10th so that would be the one after the shutdown. That will be interesting to watch.

Just seems a little dumb to say "kill all rich people" when those people aren't taken into account. Sacrifices must be made.

MC Nietzche posted:BREAKING NEWS: 30 Republicans break ranks and join democratic party, Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House once again. Her first act is to tie Boehner to the presiding officer's chair and break his legs with the Speaker's gavel forcing him to gaze forever upon what he had wrought. The Húrin Protocol, eh? I don't know why no one has proposed this before.

WaPo has an article about another way we nickel and dime prisoners: effectively forcing them to become indebted by child support payments. Obama plans to roll back the provision classifying prisoners as voluntarily impoverished and this subject to full child support payments while in prison. You will be unsurprised to learn that Congressional Republicans oppose this.

CNN/ORC release its first poll since the Democratic debate. Though most viewers agreed that Clinton won, her favorability and total support remained within the margin of error. Sanders, by contrast, grew his favorability by six percent and his overall support by five percent.

Bernie definitely has a lot to gain from the debates. Even many people who prefer Clinton will likely walk away thinking very favorably of him. Also, cannibalism is a terrible idea but still eat the rich

Hodgepodge posted:Bernie definitely has a lot to gain from the debates. Even many people who prefer Clinton will likely walk away thinking very favorably of him. It is probably ideal to differentiate between favorability and voter preference. While Bernie increased his favorability, a good portion of that is probably from Clinton supporters over his email comment who have no interest in defection. As the media coverage reflected in the run-up to the debate, Clinton needs to make some major miscalculation or error to drain her support before Sanders seems viable. A strong debate performance itself is not enough to win him the nomination.

Also I'm guessing the wealthy people crying about mean people and how unfulfilling their lives are probably aren't doing a ton to make the world a better place. I doubt Bill Gates ever feels sad about being wealthy.

The key thing for this is to remember that the money does not go to the child usually in cases like this. Basically this is just another way to keep black men in prison forever.
