    I heard the Federalist Party is planning a comeback.

    I don't know how such a thing might happen, and it would be a long-term play, but America really needs a viable third party. Life isn't binary.

    What she is proposing is essentially a government bailout of businesses that refuse to pay a living wage.

    See the cost of a college education for reference.

    And, how would it work? Can I just rent a nicer place, even if places in my budget are available, and then get a subsidy, or would they only give a subsidy if rents in a particular city were judged to be too high?

    Sure as hell looks like the Communist Party is on the upswing!

    You're going to need more than one of the 1-percenters going all in for that even to get off the ground, unfortunately. And they would have to present a platform with serious mass appeal across the board.

    Meh, it's a binary system...the one-and-a-half parties that are always in charge will never arrange for a third seat at the table.

    The only thing helping Rudy is people are left with "he can't be that stupid can he? He must be right."

    OK, let's say the money is there to make a push. What reforms would they present that are truly unique from one side or the other? I mean, I know there are some. I'm just curious to what you all think that would be in a perfect world.

    Collusion was supposed to be some grand conspiracy, in which the folks running the Trump campaign, worked with known Russian operatives, to share data -- including information hacked from the DNC -- to plan campaign advertising, and campaign stops.

    The timing of the release of emails was coordinated, and the campaign and the Russians worked together to determine which voters, and which states, to target with specific messages. Even the analytics used to determine the messaging was supposed to be stolen from facebook, and other sources.

    Now, "collusion" has been defined down to one, long acknowledged meeting, that lasted 20 minutes, yielded no actionable intelligence, and has all the looks of a Fusion GPS setup, since the very same people were working for Fusion GPS to work against the Magnitsky Act.

    So, yes, if that's all the evidence of collusion, than it's not illegal, and not concerning.

    It's also laughable that the same folks who see this one meeting as a treasonous crime, see no issue with the Clinton campaign hiring a former foreign spy, who paid unknown Russian sources, for unverified dirt on Trump.

    Cry me a fucking river.

    Run a better candidate, and make a campaign appearance in Wisconsin.
