non sequitur Celerity Oct 2019 #26

I don't hear them criticizing him for it... jcgoldie Oct 2019 #30

Maybe you are not looking hard enough, or maybe you are inferring too much into Buttigiegs Celerity Oct 2019 #34

My comments had zero to do with Pete Buttigieg... jcgoldie Oct 2019 #38

ok, fair enough Celerity Oct 2019 #41

Beto's proposal is even more extreme than the solution we used to curb machine gun crime aikoaiko Oct 2019 #43
