Untrue. Hayes is much better than Maddow. Maddow is barely a progressive and said she considered disgusting pig rapist Roger Ailes, "a friend." She's a careerist above all. Hayes has actually walked the walk.

This is right. Hayes is pretty clearly a leftist but plays a liberal on TV as you can't be a real leftist and have a prime time news show. Rachel has only been reporting on Russia for months and frequently skirts conspiracy theory territory

This is another stupid loving angle the Republicans keep trying to get soundbites for during these open hearings, along with "I've seen no evidence"

Shouldn't every reporter out there shove a microphone is his damp gob and ask "How may times have the Russians contacted you and your campaign?"

I wasn't clear with my ranking, I was giving Rachel the nod primarily for (1) being entertaining and (2) having half as many panels as the other MSNBC shows. Every night Chris lets Maxine Waters shout over him for five straight minutes with the same talking points and I just fast-forward the DVR to Rachel.

I mean yeah she gets into stupid "what IF" conspiracy land but at least it sometimes also includes neat history lessons along the way.

If you're getting up on Saturday morning and immediately tune in to news instead of boning your lady/man, eating breakfast and then getting morning drunk, washing a car or mowing the lawn or something, you're in too deep. Put down the remote for a while and go enjoy the world while it remains.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Just had a Trump supporter tell me that he didn't care if he were dirty or not because "you've got to get dirty to change things."

It's a hell of a time to be alive.

'as long as he's hurting minorities and people I don't like, I don't care about anything else' is what he's really saying. They would cheer trump burning down their house if it meant the liberal next door got mad about the smoke.

My personal favorite is the Chemical Safety Board for 12m a year. If it saves three lives a year, it's a good bargain. Pretty sure it saves more.
