I just finished reading her wiki page, and was incredibly amazed. For such a young woman, her accomplishments are incredible. Did you know, she literally wrote the textbook, that law students are learning from today. I'm guessing she knows her stuff. If I were a betting man, which I am, I'd say she has the potential to be a star in her party, should she so choose.

@@LAlan-pi2oc a very positive endorsement and she seems up for tackling the big problems.

I concur. She is smart, focused and a winner.

@Steven bent1 it's been a model for many successful operations. Bernie's been talking about it as well as Noam Chomsky for decades. I think it's an important shift if it happens.

@@montgal53 She could stand to lose a few pounds. Salad maybe?

Katie absolutely gets it. She would be a great leader and mentor at the upper levels of our government. We need her leadership and guidance now. KP for AG! After that KP for VP. And don't stop there.

@@jesush.cristophe4065 And yes, anyone responsible HAS to do the things I listed out. It is the very definition of being responsible and living like an adult. What do you suggest - we encourage people to make reckless decisions, especially around procreation, because the public will pick up the tab ?? Would you suggest that to a loved one ? "Don't worry, have kids when you can't even pass algebra....the rich will pay for the costs because it's just fair cause of inequality". Absurd.

Ashok Hegde I'm glad in the perfect world you live in people never become unexpectedly pregnant before they're ready, with good, secure, stable careers, insurance, benefits, family leave, years of savings, and a nice home. Unfortunately, in the real world, life will kick you in the teeth without notice. Jobs are not as secure as they once were, the cost of living keeps going up, while wages have stagnated for millions of people. Republicans and evangelicals seem to be trying their hardest to limit or eliminate access to abortions and even birth control, and cutting programs that help the poor, including struggling young families. These policies almost guarantee more families mired in poverty for decades. You may not agree with it, but even most poor people would like to have children before they're too old to enjoy them.

@Steven Wyatt Awwww! You liked your own post,bless your heart!

@Steven Wyatt I feel sorry for you Steven,I really do. Life's too short to harbor so much hatred.

@Steven Wyatt I agree with your last sentence but most of your words betray your claim of not having hatred in your life. You say you love nature,as do I but let's face facts here,its the millions upon millions of people who are already here on the earth that are destroying it,yet you bemoan abortion. Apparently you believe every single baby that is ever conceived should be added to the Earths population,which in turn would further the destruction of the very nature you claim to love. In a perfect world every baby would have a loving home,2 parents and there would be plenty for all. But it's not a perfect world. You dont know the reasons why anyone would choose to have an abortion yet you stand ready to judge everyone as if your standards and beliefs and morals should apply to everyone. What exactly do YOU do to help the children that are already here? Do you volunteer your time as a Big Brother or do you take care of any foster children? Have you adopted any of the unwanted children that have handicaps or mental disabilities? There are millions of children right this very moment in the foster care program because they have unfit parents who cant provide them a decent home. Yet for some reason you want even more babies coming into the world into terrible situations. Why? Unless you do something in your own life to support and help the children who already exist then I'm afraid you are nothing but a hypocrite.

Steven Wyatt ass clown

Wendy Pastore I agree!

If you have seen "The Squad" they fight just like Katy. Just because #25'4'45 calls them that it is because him and the Republicans can't handle these smart strong women who fight for us. Do yourself a favor if you truly want to know go to CSPAN or Google and watch some of the congressional hearings they have grilled people on.

BbetrGODczU L They call themselves “the squad”. I have seen them in hearings. I don’t dislike them I’m just tired of them being elevated so far above many other amazing democrats. Even side by side I still prefer Katy.

Love when she said i represent republicans... Many elected officials forget they represent everyone within their districts, not just one party.

Cloning is a thought

While her policies sound good, she’s a pathological liar. And said “Bill Maher should’ve been aborted” truly a wonderful lady. Look no further than her statements on super pac donations for clarification.

*_"This representative, Katie Porter"_* I was confused! 🤔 I thought "Rep. Katie Porter" meant "Republican Katie Porter", but she was making actual sense and seemed like an actual human! 🧐 Then I realised "Rep." stood for "Representative" and she's a Democrat! OK, I'm a Brit, what do I know? 🤣 {:o:O:}

Outstanding my ass!

I agree. 👍👍👍

Msgyrotuna She is smart.

Msgyrotuna Now, I know why she resonates with many people, because she is a single mom.

Msgyrotuna We should remove corporate money out of politics for good

Indukuri Raju When you have a chance, watch her questioning various Wall Street, Corporate and Administration officials here on KZfaq. She is a study in “how it should be done”. Rep. Porter comes prepared, she does not waste ANY of her time pontificating for the cameras; instead she zeros in on the subject at hand and either gets the answers needed, or shows that the individual being questioned is completely ignorant of what it is they are supposed to be doing, or the harm they are doing to our country! You’ll be impressed!

@@elkabong6429 I observed her in one of the committees. She was better than Kamala. no histrionics. Just plain truth seeking missile.

@@isnraj What an excellent description of her!

@ Well, you do make a good point there, about an entry level job and raising a family. My folks waited to have kids until they could afford to do so. Even so, minus the child, the fact is that entry level jobs, whether at banks, or elsewhere, are so low paying that it's impossible to live on one's own. When I was first on my own, at 19, I was able to afford an apartment and utilities and still have some cash left over and I had crappy jobs. Okay, this was back in the 1970s, but wages have remained basically static since then, while everything else (including CEO pay) has skyrocketed over the last 40 years, so the point is that even a bank teller should be able to live on their own, as I was able to. Wages need to go up and affordable housing needs to be built across this country.

@@elkabong6429 Wages of only unskilled workers have remained static, and it's easy to see why. China and India have introduced roughly a billion people onto the global labor market. Those two huge labor pools can soak up all the trade-able unskilled labor. What's left is non-trade-able services. A sliver gets paid highly, as surgeons and tax attorneys and such are scarce skills. And the rest get a pittance, as ten thousand line up for work at a new Walmart, equipped with their GEDs and morbid obesity. It's kind of amazing their wages are even close to stagnant. They really should plummet.

leschab she is amazing and FEARLESS!

I want her to replace Feinstein in the senate. ASAP

that's what socialdemocracy, or democratic socialism how US Americans rebranded it, is all about (or should be)

nope ... thats called a motive

And it all starts with getting the dark money out of politics

oh yes, absolutely. capitalism is totally fixable. it’s not like encouraging corporate abuse is a FEATURE of capitalism or anything, right???????

This is why I'm for Warren. If corruption is not routed out then nothing else can be fixed so it has to be at the forefront. I wish Warren would refresh that mantra in every interview and town hall. Lately she's been dragged into talking about every issue du jour. Social issues don't win presidencies - ECONOMIC plans do!

Oh... yeaya!

Meghan Livington You’re the pig. And you’re soulless.

She is one of the few people who can actually outsmart and fluster Bill - I love when that happens, he usually is so supremely confident.

The indoctrinated teachings of the white washed americas is coming to an end but there is a war to keep it alive... LoveLove

There is an econ prof at Auburn U. engaged in a legal battle over Koch and other issues. I am glad he is young with the stamina for it.

@@veritasnunc8749 I hope he wins.. whatever the legal battle is..

I will tell him that for encouragement. That same prof pointe out a NCAA violation. Long story short one of the associate athletic directors had to leave. Student athletes are better off when you care both about their athletic and academic success. I have worked with some that take both aspects seriously. And that is education.

@@veritasnunc8749 Absolutely! I'm familiar with Pat Summitt's record of college graduations of her student-athletes. Some may argue she was too tough, even perhaps abusive at times. But her lady Vols had other careers waiting for them after basketball and most importantly if not when, injuries kept them from going further in athletic pursuits.

SHHHHHHHHHHHUT UP

@Meghan Livington is that what your mama said to you when she saw how you turned out?

@wolfman02 yeah that's something that drives me nuts in American politics. Like they'll call some normal common sense policy "Extreme far leftist government overreach"; yet when some far right nutjob, bordering on fascism, gets into politics, they all expect you to listen and take their ideas seriously.

They'll just have to get over it and realize we are worth a decent wage, we deserve good healthcare, good education, good daycare. It makes me wonder why people think their not worth that, but on the other hand give, and give to the wealthiest in our country as well as corporations. They certainly through the decades not helped American workers. They say we can't because if this or that reason. But they have certainly done extremely well since this all started in the 70's.

I agree. Bernie/Gabbard is the only true progressive ticket left. Every other candidates have bought and paid for already.

Lol ... chicken choker sounds more likely.

It's called a butcher. Don't you know a butcher is a respectable job.

Chicken fucker more like it

Well unless youre a vegan, youre paying for those people to continue to need to do that hell job. Look at the statistics for people who work in slaughterhouses -- they become increasingly violent towards others (esp towards family, HUGE hike in domestic violence in areas where there are slaughterhouses); very high levels of depression, extending to suicide; a lot of workplace accidents, many of which are extremely dangerous (hello, youre working in a place where living beings are killed, so ofc). Awful. Easily the worst job imaginable. We are not built to kill en masse like that. And in today's society, we are not built to kill at all.

...nah...he is a chickenfucker.

Yeah, but I think they're just paying lip service, 'cause they're scared of Bernie or Warren changing their world.

never happen.

I wish it were her instead of that zombie Diane Feinstein.

Talcum because those rust belt states are union states that historically vote based on things like higher wages and healthcare. They're very much against trade deals that centrist dems have tried to pass etc... It's why Bernie clobbered in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota...

Talcum ...because shitty Hillary Clinton was the nominee. Pro trade, weak on wages, I could go on. She didn't campaign on progressive issues at all or even campaign there. Trump used progressive rhetoric about trade and health care ("we're gonna cover everybody") even if he was lying.

@Talcum Bernie is polling higher then trump in at least 3 of those states and has the energy to bring people out to vote. Anymore questions

@Talcum trump lied and Hillary offered nothing.

He dumb

Your English is good but perhaps you didn't catch the ironic humor in that suggestion. Of course neither Bill or Katie were serious about making such a "deal". It was a way of poking fun at tRump

But maybe it shouldn't be a joke. Its a global problem that could effect everyone. It should be a global issue. And get rid of that president there. He wants to kill the RF to build on it and more farming and beef ranches.

@@peace2all353 Of course the reality of global relations and respecting sovereign nations must be protected. However, American comedians have a long tradition under freedom of speech, of ridiculing our politicians and engage in satire on any subject. Maher's joke exposes the absurdity of the behavior of that guy in the White House, bringing the subject to countless people who don't normally watch a lot of international news. It provokes critical thinking where it would otherwise be ignored. The sad thing about this is that most Americans know virtually nothing about other countries or our relationships with them and get most of their news from the comedy shows.

Putting a monetary value on forests to save them is one way to improve their likelihood of surviving. Sovereignty though would stay with the state as it does with any property purchase.

Give her time, if we have any left

@@napachick100 That's a big 'IF'.What I find impossible is that Trump has a real shot at reelection, but then I could hardly imagine him as president to begin with.

He's a pussy. Will not have real progressive unless it's soft ball hitting Van Jones.

Not really, the war technically ended almost immediately in Nixon's second term in 1973. At least when it came to US involvement

@@lordbuffoon395 The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975.

RhondaH I said Nixon ended U.S. involvement immediately into his second term to clarify my earlier sentence

If you don’t mind me asking what happened in a nutshell?

@@depressedgaysassyitalianre5748 - Basically, Porter made a few jokes about Bill and he didn't seem to take it too well. I think the major one was something about Bill's mother had a hard time raising him. It was all clearly said in jest but Bill didn't seem to be in on it. He got a bit snippy afterwards, too. Sorry I can't remember specifics, but I hope that helps. If you search for Porter's last appearance on the show at the table, you should be able to see the awkwardness.

@@joshuabanner9920 Yes, he's terribly one-sided when it comes to his unmitigated support for Israel.

Did he actually say Amy Klobuchar is more electable than Elizabeth Warren? Why am I even watching this? That's such a bad take. It's so wrong. A centrist Dem CAN'T win!!!! Didn't Bill Maher learn anything from 2016? What is wrong with him?

@@commishguy By ignoring the only man who galvanized the entire nation and is doing it again, just proves that voting doesn't count, literally. I still think Jill Stein got way more votes than they said. Lying fascists. The Pretty Hate Machine that is corporate media today is responsible for fomenting division and social violence as well has eroding our election process by colluding with favored candidates. Add to that the Wall St government takeover, Superdelegates, Citizens United, touch screen voting machines and the TPP proposal for an international tribunal of corporations who's (kangaroo court) decisions would supersede all national, state and local laws, it appears that a Great Wall has been built to shut out democracy and the political process. There's someone else who wanted to destroy the elective government system... Why do we trust our lying media to give us legitimate results? The problem is that MSM covers election night. They literally control who is going to win. Remember when they were getting sloppy with the numbers in 2016, because it didn’t matter to them! We have a very real fascist problem and corporate media is its mouthpiece. "Nazi forces are not seeking mere modifications in colonial maps or in minor European boundaries. THEY OPENLY SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL ELECTIVE SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT ON EVERY CONTINENT-INCLUDING OUR OWN; they seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers who have seized power by force. These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

He didn't say either of those things, he said that some analysts say Warren would lose 40 states, and he ASKED if Klobuchar was more electable. Criticize Bill all you want, but at least be honest and criticize what he said rather than making things up.

Warren 2020.
