Steyer is so super serious, I find him somewhat offputting. Somewhat like Ralph Nader. Crack a smile once in awhile dude. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I forgot about him. I guess he is a possibility. Someone mentioned Kamala Harris, and I'm thinking she's a likely possibility as well.

It's way too early to even guess.

Except that there will likely be a big field in the Democratic primaries, and almost certainly a serious challenger to Trump in the GOP primaries.

Regardless of the latter, it will be entertaining to see the Orange Twit defending his terrible record by blaming it on Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller, Chuck and Nancy, and CNN

Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER

Like most billionaires who aren't Trump, Steyer is about as likeable as a roll of wet paper towels. He takes himself wayyyyy too seriously to ever connect with people. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I don't see any Democrat with much personality or energy level on deck. They will all just run as anti-Trump, thinking the average voter hates Trump as much as they do. Dems did the same in 2004, thought everyone hated Bush. Mark Cuban can be likable, but I do not think he has the ability to get a following like Trump does.

So far the Democrat plan seems to be "find a minority that can talk bad about Trump."

The President is a fink.

When your mom is nuts. I guess she used gofund me campaigns and other means of charitable help to keep up the treatments.

A community in northeast Dallas, Texas is reeling over a 34-year-old mother charged with child abuse after spending the past eight years taking her son to 323 doctor visits and putting him through 13 major surgeries.

Kaylene, of Lake Highlands, was arraigned in Dallas County Dec. 6 on a warrant accusing her of injury to a child with serious bodily injury with bail set at $150,000, according to court documents. Bowenwright was also ordered not to communicate with her son Christopher, 8, and have no contact with other minors.

"Throughout his young life, Christopher has been placed full time on oxygen and, at times, used a wheelchair. He's endured invasive procedures and surgeries, including being fitted with a feeding tube that fed directly into his small intestine and led to multiple life-threatening blood infections," the Star-Telegram reported.

A case of 'Munchausen's syndrome by proxy' it appears, you can call it mental illness ... however, it is hard to sympathize with ... or excuse ... such people for me. Lock em up.

The doctors and hospitals involved should be getting some scrutiny too, although the kid finally landed into the care of someone sane it appears; perhaps only after the father took some action.
