Yeah. Just because it's important to vote for Dems doesn't mean they all are exempt from criticism

Wow I'm amazed that fuckstick decided to ask a mildly smart question for a change. Broken clock..

I was gonna say. Those yearly checkups sure are frequent...

Either a case of lightning actually striking twice, or that liberty is fragile enough (especially now) that enough people have had their rights violated for there to be a large enough sample size that it's not unlikely for two people named Miranda to have had their rights denied

From your lips to God's ears. They may try to pull some shenanigans with the military in deep blue cities, but if the margin is made up in rural areas, they can't do much about that unless they plan to rig every last precinct

Hate to be a doomer but it's difficult to see any off ramp to this before the midterms. And that will be an off ramp that is fraught with peril

That, and, much of the American public has the (somewhat reductive) view that if a party controls all three branches, they own every mistake. Worked against Dems when McConnell obstructed them, but now has a chance to work against the GOP.

The pope has instructed U.S. bishops to take a stronger public stand against the president’s hardline immigration policies

Early polls show Trump and GOP taking more blame than Democrats for shutdown The national surveys taken in the final days of September and the first day of the shutdown find that voters are more inclined to blame Trump and his party. But many are uncertain.

POLLS: Who do Americans blame for the gov't shutdown?*

I've never seen someone who so frequently and blandly bore false witness as Mike Johnson. He's like an evil Mr. Rogers.

The word "too" accidentally made its way out his mouth. Freudian slip?

"born again american"

On the other hand, that also means his/the Roberts court's rulings are not gospel either

Clearly there's some misogyny this guy needs to work thru

Lest we forget, UN Headquarters are in New York City

That would represent the first military attack there since, well... the thing we will never forget

Apparently nothing has to make sense to these people anymore

They can joke all they want about their enemies and homeless people, but God help you if you do anything short of effusively praising one of their influencers

"Michael, that's not what a hate crime is" "Well I really hated it!"

Can Jentleson and Third Way provide a complete list of "the groups" they loathe?

Pretty sure it compromises most of the dem base, small dollar donors, GOTV volunteers

Meanwhile their constituency is their billionaire donors and, of course, the dc political reporters who gladly gobble up this shit

I really want to believe otherwise, but the doomer in me is thinking we may have passed the point of no return where individuals no longer have the ability to displace capital from being the dominant influence on both political parties

And that point may have been passed a long time ago

Harry was a fighter (figuratively and literally), he would probably call these people p*ssies

Fwiw, some Dems already have been minimizing their messaging about climate change because their focus groups tell them "it's an abstract issue that people don't always understand well, so talk about other stuff"

"Appeal to more voters"

Right. This definitely won't push people like me (who always vote for Democrats, sometimes plugging their nose) to just not bother anymore

those commies at cato will get it for this

They don't care. Low effort obvious gaslighting is the normal way they deal with these things now. The people who are already primed to believe it will do so, the rest of us won't

She will just claim it's misinformation or out of context

It's ok, old man rupert knows what's best for us peons /s

www.adl.org/resources/re...

this is really fuckin wild

It won't, a big chunk of Missourians historically love having their Democratic will in ballot initiatives usurped by the republicans they also elect, even though we warn them every time that the GOP is going to overturn the nice shiny ballot initiative they just passed

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.
