Richard Brecky presents: JELLYBEAN!

*by the way, there were ZERO hints of reciprocation from johnson - which made jeffries seem all the more idiotic to everyone who read the article and noticed that.

in which jeffries was practically humming love songs over his admiration and work relationship with mike johnson*

AIPAC's not just "all israel, all the time" - they've got a secondary agenda which seems to be de-clawing the democratic party as far as their relations with republicans.

i say this a lot but the issue with those dems isn't just regarding israel - AIPAC dems are also the democrats who most reliably talk about about bipartisanship and working across the aisle no matter nonsensical it looks - hakeem jeffries is a great example - there was a piece in Axios a while back

they don't care or they're scared shitless - FFS, will stancil was pointing how derelict in their duties they are as far as just TALKING ABOUT THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA - how are we here and they're just "uh, we'll fund whatever it is trump's doing if he goes back to throwing $ at the insurance industry"

yeah, keep worrying about the insurance industry getting gov't $$$ and just ignore shit like this

www.tiogapublishing.com/news/nation/...

the only thing she's doing is looking out for the insurance companies and the money they get from gov't to subsidize obamacare - she could care less about anyone/thing else - "i'll gladly fund your fascism if you keep lining the pockets of my corporate patrons" ain't the flex you folks think it is.

she's copped some AIPAC $$$ and besides "support israel no matter what" i suspect they're also told to keep talking about bipartisanship no matter how crazy republicans get along with how to vote at times.

guarantee you'll find a "look, we have to throw trans folks under the bus if we want to win the next election!" post from that account within a minute of scrolling their feed.

treating her staff like shit is very bad but a few more stories like this would pretty much make up for it

when they're in charge dems'll seize the opportunity to outsource the work of every agency vought's OMB wrecks. we have bill clinton to thank for setting the template for this - it started in earnest under him and contractors outnumbered actual gov't employees 2-to-1 even before vought came along.

Actually circulating videos of Candace Owens that make her seem reasonable because she’s correct on *one* issue is not good work

Peter Gunn Peter Gunn, a connoisseur of beautiful women and cool jazz, and ex-cop, turned private eye, is caught up in the middle of a dangerous gang war. But to Gunn, dealing with the heat is alot like jazz, it makes more sense when you play it cool. In the fight against crime, Gunn is the ultimate weapon. Features original music by Henry Mancini.

google's very erratic AI will tell you it's on Plex and Mubi but it's not - the dvd's pretty cheap for a used copy on Amazon

watched that twice one weekend - an absolutely brilliant piece of work and (IMO) one of the best movies ever made (no genre caveats offered)

This. The government is shut down. Can someone please tell me why EVERY SINGLE ELECTED DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS isn't in Chicago or Portland right fucking now taking selfies with protesters and holding press conferences in front of ICE raids?

i remember them being kinda half-assed there as well until SCOTUS decided it for them

A lot of the blame here falls on the Democratic Party, which is (to use a technical term) mad up of pathetic lily-livered cowards who tremble uncontrollably in fear at the idea of any kind of public confrontation with the Trump administration on any issue beyond a self-selected Dull Policy Dispute.

Peter Gunn (film) - Wikipedia

peter strauss was miscast in "peter gunn" but blake edwards attempt at a reboot (before the term was popular) was pretty enjoyable anyway (and i don't think strauss is actually bad here, just kinda wrong for the part), so i'd definitely give that another look.

sanders" in 2020?
given how weak she looks, this is fucking bizarre and if she does lose (a distinct possibility), i want to read a good campaign post-mortem on what they did wrong (aside from the obvious, which is that she has all the charm of dried-up dogshit) and where all the money went.

i'm a registered democrat in NJ who voted in the last 6 elections (federal stuff and local too) and i have not gotten a SINGLE mailing from the mikie sherrill campaign - granted, i think she's a turd but how in the fuck can that be? is it that i'm in a poor(ish) neighborhood? that i wrote in "bernie

yes - especially right now as dems want to avoid direct confrontation w/trump-miller-ICE and even before this was known as "preventing the threat of a good example" (hence u.s. tendency to denounce and undermine leftist government abroad even when they legit won elections)

per the always on-point @penfoldsfiv.bsky.social

you don't hate the NYT as much as you should (or words to that effect) example #2,333,501

The ACA Is Making Health Insurers Much Richer As we approach the 14-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, the law is quite different from what Congress originally enacted

dems are actually fighting to continue subsidizing the insurance industry - which has seen profits increase by as much as 200 fucking % since ACA implementation

a month ago mills was quoted saying she thinks collins is doing a good job, which begs the question: why is mills running against her? because the democratic party is a jobs program among friends/peers, not a political party that believes in DOING shit and platner's not even on the guest list.

i'd guess dem leadership actually LIKE susan collins and would be sorry to see her go. as far as they're concerned, collins is one of the "good republicans" - a joke of course, as there are no good republicans - democrats refusing (or pretending not) to see that is why we are where we are now.
