The DNC is caught in a bad spot. If Bernie wins the primary, they will most certainly lose the election, especially if the economy is strong.
BUT if Biden, who is seen by most as more likely to beat Trump wins the primary, a much worse scenario happens.
Embittered Bernie bros rebuffed for the 2nd election in a row by the media and DNC elites will most likely depress voter turnout by staying home, and that's no surprise considering Sanders is widely regarded as having more energetic supporters than Biden.
Will it affect the result of the presidential election? Who knows, but one thing IS for certain. Congressional seats are up for grabs in many Trump districts. If the vote for congressional seats is hampered by low voter turnout should Bernie get the boot, it will certainly hand that prize over to the GOP.

In a stunning move of unity, Schumer offered benevolent threats against the SCOTUS if they did not rule in his favor.
“Justices know,” Chief Justice Roberts said in his statement, “that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, but they are also dangerous.”

According to the EPA, the USA and EU contribute 15% and 9% respectively to global CO2 emissions.
Just like alarmists are not actually serious about the Global Warming scam because they won't even discuss Nuclear power, likewise, they won't express an ounce of concern for 75% of global polluters.
Thunberg NEVER uses the word China, or India....ever.
And yet there are some super brainwashed people out there in America that think our measly 15% actually is going to "save the planet" should we destroy all CO2 in America.

It clearly smacks of favoritism when Congress timed the impeachment circus to give Biden a head start, despite the Streisand effect on Biden from impeachment.
Bernie supporters are already pissed off. It's like the DNC wants to see a revolution top to bottom.

I remember a few years back the huge sit-in on wall street attacking the one-percenters when the Dow Jones was kinda low at that time.
Most Americans, even lower middle class, have personal retirement funds directly linked to the performance of the stock market, meaning All of America are investors of capital, not just the one-percenters.
Wall Street has been made main street due solely with the creation of the 401k.

Once set the example of impeaching a President for what, when the excitement of the hour shall have subsided, will be regarded as insufficient causes, as several of those now alleged against the President were decided to be by the House of Representatives only a few months since, and no future President will be safe who happens to differ with a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate on any measure deemed by them important, particularly if of a political character. Blinded by partisan zeal, with such an example before them, they will not scruple to remove out of the way any obstacle to the accomplishment of their purposes, and what then becomes of the checks and balances of the Constitution, so carefully devised and so vital to its perpetuity? They are all gone.
-Senator Lyman Trumbull
Wise words stated 150 years ago, and they are just as valid today.
The president is a check on the Congress, and you can't impeach a president for being "Orangemanbad" and disagreeing with the way Congress normally governs without destroying those checks and balances.

It's still amazing how that fake Stormy Daniels narrative ran for months on the front pages in papers and on top headlines on TV. But after Michael Avenatti went to jail for committing multiple fraud schemes and Stormy Daniels admitted her Trump story was an invented lie, then the media's big push came to a screeching halt and the media made almost no mention that it was a hoax. Not even on the back of page 27c of the New York Times. The media was caught conducting an invented "Get Trump" Scandal lie, and participating with the fraudster Stormy Daniels...so moments after they were caught.....CRICKETS! Nothing! And we've heard NOTHING about it since. So now their Get Trump fight has moved into panic mode since the economy is incredibly awesome with the best ever economy since 1969 and the election is looming down their necks. So stopping Trump under Trump's great success is proving to be an epic failure for the media. Now they are shifting their strategy for 2020 and directly attacking our own citizens to get Trump by calling us all "racists" and they also attack us by taking our investment stocks, & life savings by encouraging a recession. The media is in the 2020 election panic mode now. They are willing to burn the whole house down just to get rid of one cute cuddly spider. All their previous fake scandal lies have FAILED. Not only do they show NO REMORSE, but they are DOUBLING DOWN! They are trying to destroy the stock market with their fake stories and ruin our entire nation's citizen's livelihoods just to get Trump. Tampering with Wall Street is ILLEGAL. They are also creating civil unrest and violence with their media rhetoric calling us "Nazis" and "Racist" and stepping up their race claims which are TOTALLY FALSE! Their fakery will cause people to die. All these fake scandals and lies about us and Trump and willingness to dissolve and destroy the United States just to get their socialist utopia tyrannical power back. They're willing to get rid of our nation's autonomy and it's existence. They don't want borders. They want to destroy our life savings on Wall Street with their invented lies. All to take back power. Trump is the only person who won't cower to these threats. He's not a professional politician. He speaks for us. So the media is now going after us! So I say the media is fair game in the war if they wind up on the casualty list. Because the 1st Amendment doesn't consider what they are doing as being legal. Nor is their blatant lies, propaganda, and militant activism considered to be" journalism" in any way shape or form. They are screaming FIRE in a crowded movie theater just to destroy America to get rid of Trump just to gain power back permanently through socialism and dissolve the United States in the process. This is not just an election. this is war! And the Leftists are the only ones conducting it.

The 13th amendment makes it illegal to own another person. Alabama and Georgia have recently made test law for the express purpose of overturning Roe V Wade.
Do you think it is possible that the SCOTUS could use the 13th amendment to overturn Roe V Wade by declaring a fetus a legal person?

Are you a US Citizen?
A controversial question for some as it might not count all the illegal aliens present in a State. A census number allocates funds as well as providing accurate numbers of representatives. I would like to bring up 2 counterpoints.
1) We should NOT be funding illegal aliens with any sort of welfare.
2) Congress does NOT represent people that cannot vote for them. If that were true, every boy would have endless candy and every girl would own a pony, and every felon would have free prostitutes.

When I was growing up, it used to be that the Media spoke truth to power.
Now the MSM Media speaks the truth as dictated from government power. Remember the endless coverage of the 17 Government intelligence agencies? There would never have been a single network 20 years ago that would have trusted anything that the government said without rigorous cross checking. In fact, the medias prime position was to distrust anyone in power first and verify everything government claimed. Now the media just "leaks" the government truths from anonymous "sources" as "facts." Even though the media gets all these facts wrong, the people still don't get that the media is now working hand in glove with the government.
I'm pretty sure corporate media has been bought by the same people that purchased the government. This is sad.

President Donald Trump has ordered staff to execute the "full" and "rapid" withdrawal of US military from Syria, declaring that the US has defeated ISIS.
Is anyone surprised at all by this move? Is this in line with Trump's Isolationist stance?
Might Russia and Iran leave Syria now that America is no longer a player in the region?

It really doesn't, not to people or even animals. What really matters is habitat change, which may or may not be caused in part by climate change. Climate change may also have a negligible effect on habitats for some plants and animals. The main reason scientists don't talk about habitat change is because that would force scientists to assign a ranking to the factors that cause habitat change. If they were to be honest about the causes of habitat change, they would be forced to admit climate change usually ranks pretty low as a causal factor in most cases.
Examining the vast majority of cases of global habitat change and habitat depletion, the 2 main causes clearly are human overpopulation and human industrialization. If the climate were to remain static, habitats would still disappear. I'm not just talking about animal and plant habitats disappearing. Human habitats are also destroyed from resource depletion from runaway industrialization, and this depletion is then multiplied by runaway overpopulation. While climate change may be a concerning lesser factor toward habitat depletion, the hyperfocus on climate change does little to address the real major causes of habitat depletion.
Considering the world's general apathy toward climate change, it's alarming to note an even greater global apathy toward runaway population and runaway industrialization. So the question is thus: at what point will this apathy abate? How much habitat needs to be destroyed before scientists focus their studies on the effects of overpopulation and over industrialization? Most of it?
The one sure thing is that the planet has built in defenses from overpopulation and resource depletion with the mechanics of starvation and disease. If humans get to that point, which will happen if these 2 problems are not addressed, it will take thousands of years to reverse the damage if no actions are taken now. Population control will take thousands of years to address if it is to be done humanely through birth control policies. While most plants and animals may be able to migrate and adapt to different climates as they have done so throughout Earth's history, they are no match for human overpopulation, which has wiped out many many more habitats and caused the extinction of countless species long before anyone took a look at the effects of "climate change" on habitats.

according to wiki..
As of January 2017, the global participation rate of women in national-level parliaments is 23.3%
While you may find an outlier like Rwanda that has a parliament with more than 50% women, it is only because most of the men were slaughtered in the Rwanda genocide, and new babies haven't replaced the lost generation.
When women make up 50% of the voters, the only plausible reason for the lack of women can only be a disinterest of women voting for women, assuming there is no voter intimidation. (we saw this with Hillary)... So why are most parliaments in liberal and free nations still around 30% women participation?
It's the same reason why there are more men in jail than women.

So the NY Times popped a hit piece on Trump recently.
The gist of the op ed was that someone in DC anonymously admitted to subverting the will of the president.
So here is the big problem.
Scenario 1:
The anonymous person is a person in DC.
Therefore: The deep state exists.
Scenario :
The anonymous person is not a person in DC.
Therefore: The fake news exists.
Either of the 2 possible scenarios is a win for Trump's base.
