It will. Next set of debates require 2% in polls and 135,000 unique campaign contributions. There are a bunch who won't get there.

Ya, as Lincoln said. I think Harry's getup was a Halloween costume. As you said, does not mean he is a Nazi.

The US system works if you have a great plan or lots of money. If you don't, you either go bankrupt due to medical cost (one of if not the leading cause of middle class bankruptcies), or you ration your care. Thousands die each year due to the cost of private medicine in the United States. Wait times happen for elective procedures like joint replacements, etc. If you go into the hospital with a heart attack, you get the care. If you go into the hospital with fingers cut off, you get the care. If you need an ambulance and it takes you to the nearest hospital, you don't get a bill afterwards or get told that you need to go to the hospital across town because the one you were initially sent to is out of your network. Ya, the US system is soooooo great, not. Edit: I'll give a personal example. I broke my ankle in Whistler mountain biking. The clinics orthopedic surgeon was only available Monday to Friday, so they sent me home with a boot and crutches (I paid for). Once home, I went to the hospital and was scheduled for surgery the next day. I only had to wait due to where and when my injury happened, not due to waitlist rationing, like pro-private healthcare advocates fearmonger.

Here are some factors that led to this story blowing up. 1) There has been a concerted effort by MSM to smear Bernie and his campaign. 2) Leadership in the Campaign, when made aware of the issues tried to rectify the situation. The initial proposals were rejected by the union. This part, due to 1) was not reported. Honest reporting would know the difference between Salaried employees vs. Hourly employees. As for the bit about how to pay for everything, Medicare for all is actually cheaper than the current system when you take into account the private taxes (insurance premiums, deductibles, co-pays), bloated administrative costs of private insurance companies, price gouging by many of the private medical companies, etc.. A libertarian think tank study proved it, reported on last year. The free college thing could easily be paid for by actually cutting funding to the Defense budget instead of constantly increasing it. The Army doesn't want more tanks, but Congress kept approving more. There's two. What more do you need?

The games made the Witcher series more mainstream. The powers that be involved in the Netflix series have stated they are not re-doing the stories from the games. https://www.thewrap.com/the-witcher-showrunner-says-netflix-series-will-never-adapt-the-video-games/ ‘The Witcher’ Showrunner Says Netflix Series Will Never Adapt the Video Games Comic-Con: Henry Cavill stars in fantasy series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels

Video on the development of the F-1 engine that powered the Apollo program. Hundreds of test, including setting off explosives inside the combustion chamber, to fix stability issues.

And Apollo 8 & 10 orbited the moon.

First off, there were massive budget cuts to NASA that reduced the number of missions. Second, the powers that be figured low Earth orbit missions supplemented by unmanned probes would provide the most bang for the buck. Third, the shuttle program. Fourth, the infrastructure to construct rockets big enough to launch a moon mission had long been mothballed/turfed, the aforementioned budget couldn't support a new launch program. And fifth, it's only until recently that the cost to launch stuff into space combined with the aforementioned technological advances have made moon missions affordable given NASA's budget.

Part of the problem was that the TV feed transmitted from the Moon was in slow-scan TV and had to be converted to NTSC television format. The end result was that the Apollo 11 landings were transmitted to your TV at effectively 10 fps as opposed to the standard approximately 30 fps of NTSC and the live conversion was rather poor. The rest of the Apollo missions transmitted in standard format and did not use the SSTV format. The original SSTV was recorded on tapes and put away in storage. It is these tapes that went missing.

I have no idea why Steyer waited this long to enter. With Swalwell exiting, there may be a few of the other less than 1 percenters who may drop out soon. https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-2020-swalwell-presidential-campaign-20190708-story.html Eric Swalwell is expected to withdraw from presidential race, Tom Steyer to enter

Looks like Yang might stick around. If over the summer he gets another percent in the polls, he'll be trying to break into the top 5 going into the caucuses. Hopefully more than half the field will be gone by the fall. Candidates need more time to respond than what they got in the first debate. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/451243-yang-meets-donor-requirement-for-third-and-fourth-debates Yang meets donor requirement for third and fourth debates

And he should run for the other TEXAS US Senate seat that is up in 2020. Win that and he will gain support for next time.

How's Bernie going to pay for it? The ~$2 trillion blown on the TRUMP tax cuts could have already paid for Bernie's plan. Unlike the TRUMP tax cuts, which were mostly pocketed or used to buy back stock, Bernie's plan would actually result in money reinvested in the economy.

It should be, but that would make it harder for a certain grand ole party to win as much as they do.

I see your New York 200,000 and raise you Georgia's 340,000. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/19/georgia-governor-race-voter-suppression-brian-kemp And for fun, I'll add Texas' failed/stalled attempt to purge 95,000. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/04/26/texas-voter-purge-state-settles-lawsuit-over-attempt-trim-voter-lists/3593055002/ As for your New York 200,000, a good chunk of those were Dem voters in Brooklyn (just over 63,000 of that 200.000). So your retort is not quite as strong as you think. https://www.vox.com/2018/9/13/17855254/new-york-city-voters-rolls-purges-missing-names-2018-midterms

Voter suppression is a thing. Gerrymandering is a thing. The recent file dump of a deceased GOP operative proves that the GOP actively is trying to suppress the vote. Still waiting on the proof of the millions of illegals that voted for Shillary.

Would be nice if we could get a list of Caphit approved media that we can source. So we will avoid the usual "left-wing biased", "fake news" retort.

Add in the requisite reduced hours and/or reduced number of locations that produce ID and you further reduce the ability of poor/old people getting ID. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas-could-close-down-87-driver-license-offices-across-the-state-dps-says/269-587589638 In Texas they proposed (later rejected for now) closing down 87 offices, resulting in 78 counties having no such office. Imagine being poor or old and having to travel to the next county, and wait in line all the while not getting paid from your job. Oh, and add in the fact that most Americans don't have more than $500 in their saving account for a rainy day.

Debate lineups set. They spread out the top candidates to avoid the "kids table" debate that plagued the 2016 GOP debates. I hope that half of this field drops out by the next debate at the end of July. People are calling for Beto to drop out and run for the Texas senate seat that is up in 2020. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/14/732735079/democratic-debate-lineup-sanders-and-biden-to-face-off Democratic Debate Lineup: Sanders And Biden To Face Off Candidates for the June 26 debate: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio New Jersey Sen.
