For the 1st time all year, Dems were riding high & the regime was on the ropes. If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize& depress rank&file Dems, they could'nt have played their cards better.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

The good news is that almost all of you got Question 2 right, but the bad news is that the vast majority of you got Question 3 completely incorrect, and the saddest part of that is that you've been using that inaccurate knowledge to guide your query tuning - and wasting your time.
