  1. Because many Americans are deplorable. Hillary wasn’t wrong.
  2. I really dislike the all the robotexts, but this one from Hogg is pretty solid: "I am no longer a DNC Vice Chair. "This DNC vote to have a new election comes after weeks of contention about our work here at Leaders We Deserve, especially our plan to challenge ineffective Democrats in the primaries. "I came into this role to play a positive role in creating the change our party needs. It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair - and it's okay to have disagreements. What isn't okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on. "That's why I've decided not to run in this upcoming election. I need to do this work with Leaders We Deserve, and it is going to remain my number one mission to build the strongest party possible." "I'm thankful to everyone who supported me in this role, and now, I need your support. If you're with us in the fights ahead, considering donating..." blah, blah, blah. It actually sounds personal, it's gives information and his reasoning, it's not sensationalist. Just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.
  3. My theory. Bibi tells Trump he's going to do it. Trump tells him that'd be bad news. Trump leaves the meeting thinking he had talked Bibi out of it. The Israelis see the protests in the US and knows everything is just fucking muddy. The anti-Israeli aspects of any protests are going to be lost. Any physical damage/violence in the protests will be hung on anti-Israeli protests, which they will use to drum up fear over "antisemitic" radicalism. It will be a wedge, between the left and middle america, who, for whatever fucking reason, will still fucking support Israel, no matter what they fucking do. This weekend was already going to be a mess, and Netanyahu just took a giant shit in it. This story isn't going to be on the front page come Saturday. If he was every going to attack Iran, this was the time. He wasn't going to wait for Trump to approve it. What's Trump going to do: scold Netanyahu while he trying to consolidate his base going into a political battle in LA. Trump's a clown. Netanyahu is a war criminal. Trump was never going to stop him.
  4. Fuck Israel. From the River to the Sea.
  5. Ok. Make them do that. There was a reason why they didn't do it. There was some price. Make them pay that price.
  6. He's saying "I am willing to free up cheap labor for you if you appeal to me personally." It's a pretty similar message on the tariffs. The only policy now is for the king to decide who the policies apply to.
  7. Here's a thought - maybe if you actually gave a shit about the nonsense you and your racist dad have been selling last few decades, you wouldn't be keen on having a fucking picnic with fascists.
  8. Absolutely. I gave them money in Trump's first term. In my defense, my recollection is they were actually pushing back on anti-Muslim shit back then.
  9. I remember that scene in Scarface where Tony Montana outmaneuvered the Columbians by cleaning up tourist shit in a Hilton.
  10. Whose policy is more "neocon" when it comes to Ukraine: ours or Russia's?
  11. Cal Anderson Park (in Capital Hill), Seattle WA.
  12. Paradoxically, he will also be the face of the cops shooting the protesters (and bystanders) with rubber bullets and pepper balls. It would be difficult to resist the federalization of the national guard without supporting those whose role they'd replace or augment. And to be clear, the national guard and marines haven't done shit yet. It's the cops. It would be tough line to walk for any politician, but I think Newsom will side firmly with the cops. Hell, I think half of Trump's reasoning for LA is to be able to hang the "lawless" bs on Newsom.
  13. AOC would struggle to win a state-wide election in NY. She's not going to win the Presidency. That's just wishcasting nonsense. None of this has to do with who she really is, but what the wide-spread perception is. She is the the left-wing radical poster child. Swing voters aren't watching the debates. They aren't doing research. Her negatives are well established and they aren't going anywhere.
  14. I haven’t argued it needs to be taught in a certain way. In fact my position is that details of the policy are irrelevant in the context of allowing the MAGA reaction to dictate the how it is presented, even if nothing materially changes. That’s not because I’m trying “to own MAGA”, but because I believe it is unconscionable to surrender to them as they (successfully) roll back the progress that has been made. If you feel that I have previously stated something different, please quote it.
