US Politics February 2019: This is one of the great losers of all time.

I’m excited to join @AOC and @EdMarkey to introduce the #GreenNewDeal. Climate change is real, it threatens all of us, & we have no time to waste to address it head-on.

— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 7, 2019

hell yeah

Warren seems pretty good, can't wait for her heritage to become the new e-mails

...it takes literal dudes Democrats in blackface and klan robes to get people riled up.

It's so weird that people can elect a president who says he can grab em by the pussy, but if you slightly exaggerate a percent of your heritage, then you are disqualified.

earlier this week

“I support a Green New Deal … Climate change is an existential threat to us and we have got to deal with the reality of it,” Kamala Harris says. #HarrisTownHall https://t.co/0EMGUsQFut pic.twitter.com/HJIG0HFQDr

no it's not have you seen these people ?

I mean it's not just that, 12 women came out to say Donald Trump definitely sexually assaulted them and people just kinda forgot. which made all the "concern" about the Al Franken thing so gross

concern about franken wasn't gross, lack of concern about trump was

ppl didn't forget, they didn't give a fuck

they don't even try to hide their fucking hypocrisy they revel in it

well yeah

Franken had to go and so does Northam but every time I see the people who stuck by Trump & Steve King & Roy Moore & Kavanaugh get on TV and yell about how "this is not who we are as Americans!" it makes me feel like vomiting with rage

and then in response, this scumbag paraded women who accused his opponent's SPOUSE of sexual misconduct in front of the media. god he's so cartoonishly loathsome.

The thing about Dennis Perrin tweets is that Morbs is funnier saying the exact same things. Why outsource?

yeah harris sent out a tester email today asking for signatures to support the GND -- that sublist is gonna be the campaign's gauge of how hard to go in during these early days. i signed. you can sign here.

meanwhile, in the annals of the newly #woke

Fairfax’s family has been in VA for an awful long time too. You’re probably right that your ancestors would never have voted for him. Indeed, they probably resisted giving his ancestors the vote. Or their freedom. https://t.co/DaXniOSpG6

Asked about Pelosi's "green dream" dig, @AOC says she's not offended. "It *is* a green dream.

if you will it, it is no dream

xpost OK, fine, Sean Casten is not a climate scientist, per se, but he is a scientist with a degree in molecular biology and biochemistry and a grad degree in biochemical engineering who has spent his entire career studying and working on environmental issues, which makes him more qualified than or closer to a climate scientist than ... nearly anyone else in congress? Anyway, it looks like he relented and agreed to be in the climate change committee. I was glib when I summed up his position (as I understand it) as "aim low." I think he meant that there are all sorts of things that need to be changed or fixed with the laws we have right now, that might actually have a small chance of getting done, as opposed to spending a lot of time and energy on the green new deal, which sure, maybe it's a good start for a negotiation, but come on, the senate, let alone the white house, is not going to give this so much as a day's debate.

good. I know Harris has taken some bad stances in the past but if she's willing to get on board with the direction the party is moving *now*, then I don't care

Whoa

holy shit.

surely AMI's behavior here surpasses the legal threshold for blackmail?

seriously. at the very least, it takes cojones to pick a fight with a trillionaire.

it's amazing that AMI's communications are filled with legalese ("under code such and such...") but it's plain as day that the dynamic here is that of blackmail. the "we will have no choice but to..." phrasing is chilling.

wowza

I know his policy positions are not great across the board, but Adam Schuff is very sharp and I'm glad he's running the Intelligence Committee: http://americablog.com/2019/02/podcast-rep-adam-schiff-talks-trump-russia.html

er, I mean Schiff

"we will have no choice but to" is what the mysteriously-accented guy (probably played by John Lithgow) says in that movie where he's holding a phone up to his ear while in the background you see the protagonist's wife writhing while gagged and bound to a chair.

I'm guessing they're shameless about it because they do it routinely and suffer zero consequences

This alleged extortionate conduct by AMI is, among other things, intensely embarrassing to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. And it is not advisable to be intensely embarrassing to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

that is insane.

anything that fucks with The Enquirer is cool by me

[polishes guillotine]

And if you'd like some context for that southpaw post:

Excellent point. There has been public reporting that Trump pushed Whitaker to control prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. https://t.co/Z6taA1mCUu

I am super offended that they spelled it "dick pick" and they put "manhood" in an extortion email.

dick pick is a partner at their firm.

(yeah, i said "firm")

• Jeff Bezos sent dick pics to his mistress
• The National Enquirer got a hold of them and tried to blackmail Bezos in connection with his ownership of the Washington Post
• Bezos went public about the blackmail
• I was forced yet again to think about the dick of a powerful Seattleite

will never understand why anyone sends a dick pic tbh
