"The Left has an antisemite problem" is to "it's an everywhere problem"

as

"Black Lives Matter" is to "All Lives Matter"

If she means that, it's incumbent upon her to delete and clarify. 'Rothschild' is not exactly a niche term in antisemitism

And what's the record of non-incumbent Dem VP's winning Presidential elections? A clue: it happened exactly zero times in the 20th Century.

VP is a great way to become POTUS if the President dies in office, a great way to win a primary, and a terrible way to win a Presidential election

The last sitting VP to win a presidential race was H.W. Bush. Before that it was Martin Van Buren.

I really hope AOC is smart enough not to be anyone's VP.

I'm calling it folks - Jeffrey Epstein is evil Forrest Gump

The problem here is the Gestapo is funded through the OBBA, so they might just accept that bluff and D's are technically worse off than they were under the minibus negotiation

Kind of feel like "Brice Lee" would be blink-worthy

I think even with Suarez is at best a B - their big adds would be role player additions on any legit team. They need an impact add (~3+ WAR, if I'm benchmarking) and haven't gotten one.

Griffin could show up and light the world on fire and they're the Trout-Ohtani Angels.

Feel like your baseline is a bit too high on all of these - with R trifecta, I would argue your last L's should be "neutral"s and 2&3 here should be creditable - D's aren't guaranteed anything and can't actually force R's to do anything

Speaking as someone who formerly worked in DHS OCFO (w/ friends still there) - FEMA's been so thoroughly assaulted by this administration that in terms of response to these storms I genuinely think it'd barely matter - if anything, a shutdown gives them cover against a Katrina-like fiasco

On this specific step - you're handwaving a *lot* of critically important questions. Ex post, yes, we should have done a lot of things. Ex ante, when you don't know Trump will return to power (and given how close the election was, you don't), you're crossing a lot of rubicons you don't want to cross

"The House Voted Not to Impeach President Trump"

Huh, I guess everything he's doing is okay...

I don't think low-engagement voters will necessarily interpret it that way

*spawn some fights

you want to know one reason people are losing trust in the media? it’s the total inability to call things what they are

some guy on YouTube: “wow this is the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen”

the Times: “critics say it raises appearance of impropriety”

who are people going to take seriously?

I think this is unfortunately a consequence where it is actually appropriate to say

#ThanksObama

A Father's Day? Absurd! That will never happen - not in 34 days!

This is a very good idea so long as it doesn't end up in front of Aileen Cannon

(which is to say - I think this is smart, clever, and correct; and also we need less focus on clever legal arguments and more focus on raw power moves)

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.

This is true

and also

The second biggest gender gap is Gen X / second biggest outlier is Gen X men - I don't think Max is wrong to note a big problem with the high proportion of shitty Gen Z men is their parents are shitty Gen X men

Doesn't work face-to-face you say...

That the Senate Dem Leader, Whip, and Campaign Chair all voted "against" over 75% of the caucus, yet strangely all retain those jobs

As a former Virginia resident, I have high confidence that they will choose the former

Both Kaine and Warner are strong contenders for lowest WAR I'm the Dem Senate caucus

MY himself seemed to indicate a 'radicalizing' moment for him (my word, not his) was having a piece spiked at Vox because, in his view, the EIC thought it was accurate but not 'nice', or something similar. He then started talking about how campus cancel culture was a threat, actually

This is an interesting application of this principle - there is, I think, a degree of both push and pull in the case of MY - as he slowly drifted in one direction his social circle also drifted, likely in response to his drift. Chicken or egg?

True. Biden should also have passed the Everyone Gets A Pony Act examinedlife.typepad.com/johnbelle/20...

I'm not sure when that chance was - Manchin and Sinema were both hard no's in 21/22
