Clean coal is a technology that's still underdevelopment. When Trump says "there is such a thing as clean coal" he is misleading people into thinking it's an alternative now and Hillary Clinton should turn to it right away to save the mining jobs.
And Obama has proposed a plan to help convert current coal-burning plants to clean coal burning to meet EPA standards. The Power+ also includes money for re-training displaced coal miners and to shore up pension plans made precarious by all the coal company bankruptcies. It didn't make it into the 2016 budget & probably won't make it into the 2017 budget because Republicans are fighting against clean air regulations rather than moving forward toward a new economy. The abundance, low price & cleaner-burning nature of natural gas has killed more coal jobs than regulation. Solar and wind power are also on the increase. Those coal mining jobs are never going to come back in great enough numbers to truly impact those local economies.

Amber Tamblyn was my favorite Emily Quartermaine.
And I loved her in Joan of Arcadia.

Now my respect for her has grown even more.

This is an insightful and key piece of analysis that a couple of the CNN folks pointed out: Trump did enough tonight to stabilize his freefall, which may seem like a good thing in the short run, but in the long run it makes it harder for the Republicans to kick him out. Since he hasn't succeeded in reaching out to anyone beyond his base, and his base isn't enough to win the election, this is just linking the Republican party to him for thirty more days.
The PBS crew basically said that too. Not so much about the republicans being stuck with him, but that this was enough to stop the freefall.
He was Breitbart Trump tonight and not Kellyanne Conway Trump. This debate was him dancing with the ones that brought him.

But he blew his shot to appear empathetic with the Muslim woman who asked him about Islamophobia, and he blew his shot to appear in touch with African American political discourse when he reiterated law and order as a solution to the problems African Americans face. And him calling Latinos "the Latinos" was some flabbergasting linguistics, what even was that?

This is the same core problem that the GOP had from the beginning, do they go even more right or do they move center. The RNC autopsy after 2012 would've suggested someone like Rand Paul or Marco Rubio or even Jeb Bush. Trump's very nomination sets back the GOP's shift a few years. But if he flames out maybe it's the kickstart they need.

And maybe that's for the best for everyone, because it'll take shit like gay conversion therapy off the table.

"In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here."

Straight from the FBI: no reason to bring criminal charges.

I thought Martha Raddatz did a pretty good job of telling the candidates "ANSWER THE QUESTION!" when they got off on a tangent. And telling them to be quiet when their time was up.

I liked how Anderson Cooper got Trump to admit he wasn't paying federal INCOME taxes.

Same with journalists:

That's not a conspiracy theory. You think there is implicit bias in race but no bias in academia or the media towards democrats/liberals?
By the way, with regard to the media, most journalists identify as independent, not Democrat, as per the article you linked.

But the other thing is that currently, as far as public policy goes, the Democratic party as a whole is not at all liberal or left-leaning, save for their stances on some social issues such as racial and LGBTQ rights and abortion. The party's stance on issues pertaining to industry, corporations, the financial sector, foreign affairs, the military, social welfare, economics, and the environment are all in line with those of the more moderate Republican party of the 1970s. (Nixon did more for the environment than any President since.) Why do you think that so many Republicans are supporting Hillary? It's partly because of Trump being a loose-cannon and partly because she espouses traditional moderate-Republican policies.

Democrats are right-of-center now and most mainstream journalists at large news organizations in America identify with that worldview, certainly not the worldview of the left. That is why Bernie Sanders was treated so poorly in the media, that is why the media is on board with pillorying teachers and unions, that is why they defent corporate criminals and wall street, that is why they were on board with the illegal war with Iraq ... I could go on and on. Plus, while many journalists may be Democrats or Democrat-leaning, nearly all the CEOs of the biggest media corporations are Republicans (or were until this election).

ETA: Speaking to Europeans and South Americans, they will tell you that even Bernie Sanders was farther to the right than most politicians who purport to be liberal or leftist in their countries.
From my understanding there are more Democrats supporting Trump than there are Republicans supporting Hillary (I mean regular voters, not George Bush Sr.). I guess it depends on the poll you look at however. Most Republicans that don't support Trump are not doing so because they think he's a loose cannon and that he's not an actual conservative. I've followed politics closely since the late 90's, and no one will ever convince me that the majority of the media is not biased. That's not to say that there aren't good and fair journalists out there who are liberals and that every story is a sham.

As far as the Democratic party goes, I think they've gone farther left. Even the Republican party has gone further left. I disagree with most Republicans on LGBT rights. I voted against defining marriage as between a man and woman in North Carolina's Constitution. However, that passed with majority support from both Democrats and Republicans in this state. I am pro-life and it's something I feel very strongly about so I have never voted for someone who is pro-choice (to be clear, I'm okay with abortion in the cases of rape and medical issues). I identify with a lot of Reagan's beliefs on how the government should function.

I'd never thought I would hear the words Bernie Sander and farther to the right in the same sentence. ;)

What I find most appealing about Paul Telfer is that he adores his wife, he supports her theater career. And he has planned out his acting gigs to be short term so that he can support her larger career -- because she travels to perform theater in different cities. That to me is sexy in a healthy way.

Just my personal viewpoint.

-- edit to add:
Laurondo just posted:
"There's kind of a big difference between commenting on how nice of a body he has and saying you can literally do anything you want to the man because you're a star, and that you're gonna grab him by his genitals."

Exactly.
I don't really have a view on PT outside of this. It's adorable and admirable. He absolutely adores her and champions her. Everyone deserves a partner like that, and in a tough field like being a Broadway performer, it's gotta be such a bonus. I find him more attractive the more he tweets about this situation though. Yes, Paul!

No one should be talked lewdly about. Not Ari, not Nancy, not Paul.

I have no problem with anyone saying Ari and Nancy are absolute knockouts, and are gorgeous. I have no problem with anyone saying Paul Telfer is a sexy man, who oozes charisma. I have a problem with men or women feeling they have rights, ownership or power to do whatever they feel like to someone, because they know they can get away with it.

I've found that when a politician is pro-life, though, that they're willing to ban abortions altogether. That right there takes the procedure away from women who have been raped and women who need it to save their lives.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say you ARE pro-choice, but for yourself you are pro-life and would never have an abortion?

Well consider this: President Nixon, Republican, was pro-choice. Ronald Reagan was also pro-choice as a governor before he became pro-life as president. Gerald Ford's wife was pro-choice and he later became pro-choice too. Around the 70's being pro-choice was fairly mainstream, and not squarely left of center.

I think that both parties are more polarized, but I am not sure that they are equally more polarized. I do agree that acceptance of homosexuality has been a clear step leftward. But there are other things that are clearly steps rightward. I don't know, it would be interesting to try to do a comprehensive analysis.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Trump 's comments disrespected all that Senator John McCain went through as a POW.
My maternal grandfather was an army doctor & a POW during WW2, so I took it to heart.
Not sure Trump would be an advocate for our Vets & Military families

.
Hillary isn't any better. Benghazi happened on her watch.
Literally the worst thing RepUGlicans can claim is she MIGHT have been responsible for the death of 4 people.
