NYC is 7.4% of the US economy. I'm saying that to agree with you, that's bigger than Florida, bigger than every state other than CA, TX, and (obviously) NY.

Jeb! is a hole in the theory, not every major states governor who is the son of a former president can become president themselves.

Overall kind of a lot of turnover actually...only one Clinton became president, and he was never VP. The other Clinton got beat out by the first black president for the nomination in 08, and then she lost to some guy who had zero political experience.

If anything, we learned that being black doesn't exclude you from being president, being female doesn't exclude you from being a major party nominee, and you can still become president even running for office for the first time at age 70. The promise of the statement is more true than ever.

My body can take the sugar from one energy drink a lot better than it can take 6 shots of espresso.

You'd have to renounce US citizenship, the US taxes citizens living abroad too. And after you've done all that, you won't have changed the amount of money going to Israel by a penny and you will have made it slightly more likely pro-Israel-funding politicians get elected because one vote against has left.

So if anything you're overturning your life to make the problem worse.

Donate to aid organizations if you want to improve the situation for Palestinians. That's what you can do.

Ever since I saw one of these that I disagreed with politically I realized how dumb they are.

What I want to know is what's up with two-name first names like Mary Jo or Betty Lou. Did that happen before or after the invention of middle names?

He was found guilty of 37 felonies. Pretty hard to keep the "it's a conspiracy they'll never find him guilty" point when "they" (the justice system) already did.

Gotta say, I don't think we need Chappell Roan to weigh in. It's one thing for like Taylor Swift who is a major cultural figure. We don't need every person with a hit song to weigh in.

If it puts NC in play at a presidential level, that's where it gets interesting. Only 3 fewer electoral votes than Pennsylvania, same number as Georgia. Could be a big swing.
