Oh I'm sure he's very good and all, I'm just sayin...

Counterpoint: I don't know who he is and I and my friends know about you and your art

And then Tactics the next year.

That's way more appropriate

No. Unlike Charlie Brown Dems aren't tricked into this. They aren't well meaning but credulous dopes. They are national level politicians. With very few exceptions they are ruthless, clever and generally intelligent. They're choosing to do this knowingly.

Not changing Caucus rules in a constitutional crisis because 'it's against the rules we made up for ourselves' is peak performative weak Dem garbage. It'd be 100% legal for them to add a no confidence in leadership provision or anything else needed to their current rules today

The Live Free motto is more about stubbornly living the way they want. It's a mix of Libertarian thought and stubbornness around personal freedoms.

Maine is a bit more community minded but they keep themselves warm with resentment over old grudges during those cold cold winters

Man, they love to misunderstand why Rome fell! It's their favorite thing!

"Actually, if you do real research on it, you'll see that Rome fell because <insert their current era grievance>"

I agree but am concerned about the number of "expert" influencers that are already out there who've realized that lying for the other side is really profitable.

Get her ass, beloved Minnesotan actor and writer, Bill Corbett!

lol. if only.

1: MC's aren't that hard
2: there are plenty of legacy staff members around from previous admins
3: there are plenty of legacy models/tools that can easily be repurposed
4: While none are as smart as they think they are, there are plenty of moderately intelligent people in this admin.

Yes it would for a real analysis
If I had to guess, I'd guess they put a couple dozen food items and their average prices into a spreadsheet, and ran 1000 Monte Carlo simulations on it. Then picked an output line where some of the items could equal a cheap meal and disregarded everything else.

People always seem to forget that the "red" southern states have these tremendous black populations that would easily make the states blue if voter suppression weren't systemic

Yes, but thankfully it was resolved back then when everyone got together and voted blue

You'd think "we lost to the guy-who-declared-war-on-NATO-several-midwest-towns-and-windmills" would lead to some introspection and drastic change of Dem strategy and leadership, but no.

If you can't manage a remote team, you're not a manager with the necessary skills for the current environment.
Retrain or retire.

Y'know someone could pull his voting record and cross reference that 9% against the three potential categories in his response to make some connections

Moreover, this isn't even how funding the gov works.
In reality they don't wait for enough tax revenue to pay for stuff.
The budget voted on by Congress requires by law the gov to pay and so if expense > revenue they will just use debt.

So even if 100% didn't pay, the gov would still be funded.

Yes they do.
Only about half of Fed revenue comes from individual income tax. Let's pretend you get 75% of Americans to do it (AN IMPOSSIBLY MONUMENTAL FEAT) you'd only reduce federal revenue 40%. They could cut "entitlement" programs and still fund enforcement to garnish wages and jail people

She's drunk singing and dancing around him and doesn't slip.
Absolutely a contrast in competence

I don't know if you're aware of this Michael, but I'm not involved in what's going on in the US either way.

Also, you're British. Maybe clean your own house before you judge others too much about their far right and imperialist problems

Thank you for your suggestion that American civilians should just take on the largest, best equipped militarized police force the world has ever known in a physical confrontation.

Simple as that. Totally straightforward. I'm sure they'll all get right on that.

Fair. But also, if you riot in the US, you run the very real risk of being killed by the extremely violent, extremely well armed police.
