  1. Trump's briefing. Insane. There's a clear path to deescalation now but I have no idea what happens. Probably a coin flip whether this escalates to a full scale war. Remember, one side is full of religious extremists intent on bring about the final battle...and the other side is an Islamic republic. These aren't rational people we're dealing with.
  2. Various reports on Twitter that Iran has said this it and there will me no more if US doesn't respond. Trump has an offramp. Hope he takes it.
  3. I can't find the tweet but Schumer said something indicating that Pelosi would send over the articles soon as the landscape for the trial is now clear. She had laid the groundwork for that cover when withholding them and probably calculates as a political maneuver she's gotten all she can about the delay. Goal for Dems should be to reveal the Senate trial for the he cover up that is, let them acquit and then let the voters remove him in November.
  4. He's a Russian asset and is doing exactly what Putin would like him to do?
  5. Bout as idiotic as sexy electric cars and rockets that land themselves.
  6. Has this shit been posted? Should we dust off the old internment camp plans? Holy shit, what disgusting people in this administration. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/06/us/border-iranians-washington-patrol.html Iranian-Americans Questioned at the Border: ‘My Kids Shouldn’t Experience Such Things’ Up to 200 people were held by border agents, with some of them reportedly asked to share their opinions about the situation in Iran and Iraq.
  7. I mean, I think what I was trying to say is that I hope we can all--liberals, conservatives and even MODERATES-- agree we'd be better off without Florida. Though, they have some nice beaches. Maybe they can leave the beaches.
  8. If they take out Florida in the process, you got me. Which way is Mecca?
  9. She's ticking back up in the polls. Really well positioned to in my view.
  10. Again, just wanted to say this is the republicans fault. They've had plenty of opportunities to stand up to him and cut ties and have not, cause judges and $$$. Fuck them. Traitors.
  11. Interesting reporting questioning the justification--or lack thereof--for moving against Suleimani now. Also some reporting on Iran's planned response. Honestly, I think this ends with some serious attacks and Trump backing down. He cares too much about his reputation to start a Mideast war. Then again, he may have already, not realizing what he was doing.
  12. Not bad. so the delay was about managing expectations? She's in a pretty good position 30 days out, all told.
  13. Whatever Trump says probably isn't true. That's all I got. What is he doing to respond? Golfing and tweeting about Democrats?
  14. Here's a good article on Warren's pressure on the Clinton campaign and plans to push a Clinton administration away from the pro-corporate status quo on economic policy. Reading it really gives you a sense of the progressive coalition she's built and how her administration could actually be effective in bringing about real structural change. For the same reasons, it reveals the threat she poses to many who are exploiting the current system. God, I wish Democrats weren't fucking this up. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2019/12/19/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton-economy-087346
  15. I didn't know where to put this but blame the republicans the most for this shit for failing to stand up to Trump. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/12/20/us/iowa-woman-runs-over-teen-trnd/index.html (CNN)An Iowa woman was charged with attempted murder after running over a 14-year-old girl, saying she did so because the teenager "was a Mexican," police said. Nicole Marie Poole Franklin, 42, was arrested on other charges and Thursday admitted to Clive police she hit the girl with her vehicle on December 9, according to a news release from the Clive Police Department. Clive is about 9 miles from Des Moines. The girl was walking to Indian Hills Junior High when a vehicle drove onto the sidewalk, ran over her and left the scene, the release said.
  16. Trump ran attack ads against Romney after he spoke out when the whistleblower report came out. That, and whatever other pressure he got, seems to have quieted him. What a coward.
  17. Remember when Erdogan consolidated power after the attempted (maybe staged) coup. It will probably be something like that.
  18. They should just let this hang over Trump and keep moving forward with the other investigations and litigation. There's not much risk here.
  19. It's good that someone rose to the moment. Too bad our country is not.
  20. Things are gonna get ugly. Democrats need to keep investigating everything. I don't know if it will matter but Trump will do whatever he can to get reelected and democrats have to at least try to keep him in check.
