the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Neil Sedaka, the pop legend behind "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "Laughter in the Rain," and "Love Will Keep Us Together," has died at 86. A Brill Building craftsman and 1970s comeback king, his melodies defined generations.

This Day in Labor History: February 17, 2000. The AFL-CIO officially changed its stance on immigration. No longer would the labor movement in this nation officially oppose immigration. Instead, it moved to become one of the immigrant rights movement’s major allies in this nation!!!!
