Any of these incredibly corrupt things would be huge scandals if MAGA / the Republicans hadn’t f’d up our country so badly and the media was not complicit, or if a Democrat had done any of those things..
MAGA is busy right now trying to figure out how to legislate that only the GOP can do gerrymandering. I'm not even joking. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that's actually happening. MAGA's response to losing is *always* to try to find better ways to cheat.
Special-treatment-for-child-sex-traffickers guy Todd Blanche is a serial liar, corrupt, and just plain evil. He even looks evil. Evil wearing a suit.
We are all "giddy hair parted in the middle woman in the background".
The problem is that they didn't anticipate that the Dems would fight back. But something about the descent of the country towards fascism is motivating Dems and people on the left and even center to fight back. We've had enough.
If you can’t find competent people to take your cases you might want to consider that maybe, just *maybe* you’re on the wrong side of the argument.
Yes, and there needs to be a huge effort to try to turn back the tide against the RW propaganda machine, but few people seem to be even really aware of the problem let alone proposing some kind of necessary massive and strategic counteroffensive.
He's *so close* to getting it! He says that career prosecutors are "just not interested in this kind of work". Yes because these cases are obviously retributory & devoid of evidence. Willing to take loser cases, willing to participate in corruption, *and* competence usually do not go together.
Yes. 🤦🏼♂️
Yep. Just a few things in the 1st sentence, he could never write - "Based on the fact", and "seriously fractured". He writes just the way he talks, and he doesn't talk like that.
doesn't have the bandwidth to make that Message™ or Policy™ make much difference because they are competing with the RW propaganda machinery that's convincing voters that "the Dems are for open borders and they're gonna transition your kids", etc. /2
Yes, and also the "where the left went wrong" diagnoses seem to never account for the incredible inbalance in our info environment, which is dominated by the ever expanding RW propaganda machinery. There's this notion that some magic Message™ or Policy™ will make it all better. Well, the left /1
OK, so that's - no you're not refusing to tell us, and in fact you're telling us "yes"!
The pushback you often hear is "It was Biden's/Kamala's responsibility to make me want to vote for them!" Well, yes, but 1) they have a large constituency - not every policy position will align exactly with yours, & 2) doesn't mean you don't *also* have responsibility to pick the non-fascist choice.
What Trump neglects to say here is that the "problems" that Cook called Trump for help in "solving" were problems created by Trump. The tariffs would have destroyed Apple if they didn't get an exception.
Especially this one, "I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to kiss my ass". That pretty much says it all. It says, 1) "Trump is an insane narcissist" and 2) Tim Cook kissed his ass anyway and then was humiliated about it by the subject of his ass kiss. 🤦🏼♂️
How about a compromise. The Strait of Trump-Iran. It would be a "beautiful thing". I'm available for negotations services BTW. At a price. :-)
Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin.
Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.
Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.
The list goes on.
We must not become numb to this corruption.
Yes, the "installed" / "certified" thing is an obvious dodge. They all do it. Don't let them get away with it.
ICE’s rampant violation of personal liberties, detaining people because of how they look or speak and murdering people at point blank range. Right? Right?? /2
There’s now more truthful reporting In the (checks notes) Washington Examiner than there is in the Washington Post? I don’t think the Post would print that editorial. After all, they’re focused on “personal liberties & free markets”. 🤦♂️ BTW about “personal liberties” surely they’re all over /1
Haha. I'm a little concerned about what he'll do. Some of his public performances lately have been a little....odd. I'm sure he'll have lotsa people working with him though to keep him on some reasonable track. No, Justin, you probably shouldn't come out in your underwear & sing Baby, Baby, Baby.
CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis--
CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay
Well, again, for me, I don't really care if it's Becerra, Steyer, or Porter, but one (or possibly 2) needs to emerge with decent numbers so that we're not stuck with a fascist governor. Right now it's a mess and I hate it.
In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

And this poll may be entirely in good faith, maybe likely it is, but there's tremendous incentive in this kind of election to push polls that favor your numbers. /3
to do this calculation about who has the momentum. And then you have the RW potentially helping to add more Dems to further dilute the vote. I live in San Jose. Lots of people in San Jose don't know who Matt Mahan let alone statewide. Who exactly is propping up his late joinging campaign and why? /2
In any case I hate this CA gov primary. CA needs to go back to a regular pure Dem primary. Then people could simply vote for their preferred candidate and not worry about fascists winning gov. Right now, people are trying to do this calculation where they have a favorite, but they feel the need /1
stand up and defend it so that the fascists don’t win? /3
