Making the argument like this turns off the very people you'd say need to be inoculated.

I voted for Harris but stuff like this, from both you and Booker, make me start to rethink my choice.

Claims about there being a public interest in the memos, for example, don't make their publication any less prejudicial to the administration of justice. Judges don't run for reelection, and they're supposed to operate without outside political pressure, so the argument that "the public needs to know" is at its minimum. If the public interest really requires

If they’re “_supposed_ to operate without outside political pressure” then it seems to me that the public has an extra big interest in knowing that they’re not!

The choice to pick on university students is pathetic and laughable for many reasons but not least because they weren't even alive when the people behind the Bulwark were arguing that 9-11 required a vast expansion of executive power and curbs on civil liberties

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

15% of Texas Democrats say they would sit out the Senate race if the Democratic candidate is just as supportive of Israel as the Republican is.

Evangelicals can’t decide whether they support Arianism or Aryanism

Stephanie Cutter celebrating her new gig as chief shill for Kalshi

this is just so gross, man. I cannot wait until we are past the pipeline of Obama alum -> shill for the worst industries in the world. It's noxious on policy and political grounds.

Just because it's "tech" or "new" doesn't mean it's not evil. But hope and change or whatever.

The Obama Syria policy?

The Great Recession started before he came into office. He decided to address it by continuing W’s bank bailout, refusing to extend it to homeowners, and letting the banks and ratings agencies whose criminality caused it get off the hook with paltry (tax deductible!) fines.

Expanding W’s forever war was right wing even if he eventually found a way to do part of it progressively. And you’re also forgetting that he made a big deal about shipping weaponry to all the various moderate rebels who ended up merging into ISIS.

Sure he did some good things too, but despite running as a constitutional law professor for change he refused to hold the prior administration accountable for their rampant crimes, while instead adopting the bulk of their economic and imperial policies. Can you really not see how that lead to Trump?

He prosecuted record numbers of whistleblowers and journalists, and put a close friend of a massive sex trafficker in as his White House Counsel. He let Citibank vet his initial cabinet picks, helped the Saudis massacre countless Bahranis and Yemenis, gave Israel record military assistance...

His stimulus bill had more tax cuts than infrastructure spending, he campaigned for the senator (Lieberman) most opposed to a public health insurance option, he demobilized OFA while signing off on the defunding of ACORN based on a lie.

He shoveled trillions of dollars to Wall St, Silicon Valley, and the fracking industry, while overseeing the largest destruction of black wealth in modern history. He also refused to hold CIA torturers and Wall St mortgage fraudsters accountable, and expanded W's mass surveillance system.

Yes? He bombed at least seven countries and supported military coups in several more, and then after all that work to create refugees and migration he increased the militarization of the border and deported record numbers of people.

I didn’t follow the full argument you were in, sorry for just doing a drive by, but that’s a pretty obvious statement on its face, no? Or do you need me to remind you of the actual policies he enacted?

Obama being a right winger paved the way for Trump.

Not 2010?

Just seems weird to you to get hung up on whether a criminal regime has a right to exist, even as its existence denies equivalent rights to others. If you admit that what would have a right to exist isn’t what is currently running things there, why care about the semantic game in the first place?

Obama paved the way for Trump, it’s no wonder he idolized right wingers.

She’s CIA, what do you expect?

The country in question here defines its people to exclude half the population within its controlled territory. Those people have as many rights as anyone else.

No country has a right to exist. People have the right to exist.

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.
