US Politics November 2017

Uh yeah the crookedness of Hillary will last forever

the clintons are the right’s emmanuel goldstein, we’ll be hearing about them (and soros) for as long as they’re useful targets

if we could harness Clinton-generated outrage as an energy source, we could swear off of fossil fuels within 18 months

perpetual idiopathic scoliosis

will it be 280 character twitter that finally brings trump down?

tweeting 'on narrative'

Jack Posobiec (who is verified on Twitter) is now posting pics and the workplace of at least one of the Roy Moore accusers

Hi it's me, the serious op-ed columnist, who cannot tell the difference between the populism that's racist and the one that wants to make healthcare a right. I write the same 3 columns over and over again and am paid .5 million a year plus speaking fees.

lol will we still be hearing about hillary in a year, two years, three years? there has to be diminishing returns but i think we will be hearing about her forever

The right is still mad at those dirty hippies who wouldn't let us just do our job in Vietnam.

I donated to Doug Jones just yesterday and have already received two emails asking for money.

I still see the occasional "Hanoi Jane" reference on facebook.

so are RussiaRussiaRussia libs gonna applaud the administration for this?

Washington will apply its Foreign Agents Registration Act to RT America, the channel has announced. The Department of Justice has given the broadcaster until Monday to register as a foreign agent, otherwise the channel’s head faces arrest and its accounts could be frozen.

The piece of legislation was adopted in the US in 1938 to counter pro-Nazi agitation on US soil. Washington has made the decision to apply the act towards the company that supplies all services for RT America on its territory, including TV production and operations. Just over 400 entities are currently registered under the legislation, but it does not include a single media outlet.

Aaaand the follow up:

Hi it's me, the bernie supporter that voted for trump who cannot tell the difference between the populism that's racist and the one that wants to make healthcare a right. I infiltrate leftist communities and convince them daddy trump is right.

i don't understand any of that

donated to Doug Jones just yesterday and have already received two emails asking for money.

A bane of modern life, for sure. If I were smart I'd segregate all such twaddle into a gmail set up solely for that purpose, but alas I am not that smart.

better ped than red

This is good

i would be so happy to never see that stupid fucking word again

The NRSC has stopped fundraising for Moore.

The NRSC has stopped fundraising for Moore.

Wow, that's cold.

My occasional take-the-temperature-of-the-dextrosphere reading yesterday was all "this is a political hit job" and "he-said/she-said" and "everything in the WaPo is lies" and, of course, the venerable "I question the timing."

Red-hatters have been quick to point the finger not just at libs/media but also at RINO cuck GOPe establishment NeverTrump swamp squishes - chiefly McConnell, Ryan, and McCain - who fear Moore and want to keep him out of power.

This appears to be a front in the GOP civil war, almost as much as it is a front in the overall blue/red tribal conflict.

xp finally some good news re: this scumbag

GOP in-fighting is good for this race and as such I encourage it. If he faces some difficulty fundraising in the home stretch that's awesome (hope Dougie gets a similar bump) - altho idk if fundraising is really going to be the deciding factor in this race. Dougie seems to be doing allright, Moore seems to be barely campaigning - refusing to debate, letting Dougie air ads uncontested etc. This is gonna come down to a) depressing the GOP turnout and b) maximizing the Dem turnout, esp among black women.

tin hat types think the Moore story originated with McConnell.

just got my third ask for Doug money in 24 hours.

McConnell's playing 5D chess - if they lose the Senate they can't be blamed for not doing anything and can comfortably occupy the obstruct everything space that has been so lucrative.

well, the tin hats think he wants strange as a write in.

how long until locking up Hillary is a ballot initiative?

the flynn stuff laid out

If it weren't for the Bill of Attainder language in the constitution, I'm sure some gink in the House would have already introduced a Jail Hillary bill by now.

see, that Flynn stuff is flat out treason, isn't it?

Still not a tenth of Hillary’s crimes though

well, yeah.

that's why Flynn wanted to lock her up.

Rudy Giuliani, who was a top Trump campaign surrogate alongside Flynn, is part of Zarrab's defense team. The New York Times reported that Giuliani met with Erdoğan in late February and discussed an agreement under which Zarrab would be freed in exchange for Turkey's help furthering U.S. interests in the region.

um

turkey's mayor

in other news, read that 140000 Puerto Ricans have moved to FL since Maria. could tip some close races ...

lol caek

I do not think this is a good idea

I do kinda feel that way! I know a few 80yo and I don't really want them running the country either, no matter how cool they are. And I have a lot of issues with Biden's past positions, judgment etc. which just compounds it. He gives good speeches nowadays, why doesn't he just stick to that.

xp

Vs Trump? I mean, I think he could win, but I don't know if that makes it a good idea. Right now they are cultivating plenty of potential candidates, but I don't know how many of them are household names yet.

donated to Doug Jones just yesterday and have already received two emails asking for money.

The thing is, they do this because ... it works. And I want them to have the money. So I just grit my teeth and accept it (and use a non-primary gmail address for campaign contributions.)

Basically, considering people like Biden for '20 is illustrative of a little Dem Voice in the Head: "We're gonna blow it again." And who can dismiss that?

(the funny part is that they consider picking a famous vet as a safe move rather than inviting a rerun of The Most Experienced Candidate Ever)

I wish there were a way to donate to Doug Jones so that I get the money.

Biden is a terrible idea and no one takes it seriously
