no, i didn't know that the June 2019 US Politics thread was nasty

Rapinoe has been kneeling during the anthem and talking shit about Trump for literally years before all this. I'm surprised it took this long.

because she's not his type iirc

"not my type" is an annoying runner

refuses to call owners, owners= political correctness gone amok!

first they came for the owned, and i said nothing, because i was an owner, except you can't say that anymore

good morning!

apparently the NBA is moving towards "Governor" in place of owner. personally that sounds like a tremendous improvement from every angle. If I owned a team I'd totally be making everyone call me "Guv'na," preceded always of course by "I say I say"

they should nationalize all sports teams anyway, individuals should not be allowed to own them

Sorry to bring this up again - what “criminal justice reform” is he referring to?

true to form Trump originally tweeted at the wrong account

That old man really gave those clouds what fer.

I swear I just want one interviewer to ask him "Why are you so fixated on the word 'lovers' when you talk about these two FBI agents? Is it because you know in your heart that no one has ever loved you, or ever could?"

THEY DONT CALL THEM THAT, LELAND

gerrymandering: cool and fun

the court giveth (to the republicans) and the court taketh away (usually from the democrats, but i guess in this case the republicans!)

🚨SUPREME COURT BLOCKS THE CENSUS CITIZENSHIP QUESTION https://t.co/SoLompNPVi pic.twitter.com/74Gb2ZBlrC

The census decision is meaningless. The Republicans will have ten years to hide their tracks the next time they do this.

Today's gerrymandering decision is by a long way the most consequential SC decision since Citizens United. Both decided 5-4.

I guess our children all die under a corporate/old/rural people death cult.

I saved the trouble and won't have any

fuck this place

only Buttigieg's 15 justices can save us now

i’ve pivoted, war with iran is good actually

Energetic but ineffectual young conservative operative Jacob Wohl is all-in on the prospect of war with Iran. Wohl is so into the idea, he told Right Richter that he’ll enlist in the military if the United States goes to war.

“If we go to war with Iran, I will enlist within 10 days,” Wohl said in an Instagram direct message.

Wohl says he’ll consider the United States at war with Iran if Congress authorizes the war or Trump uses a previous military authorization to attack. As for what branch he’ll join, Wohl says “probably the Army.”

but this holiday season, it really is an Army of One, and one Jacob Wohl will be fighting Iran, fist-to-fist, to the death

Need someone to march him into the recruitment office so he doesn't just go buy a camouflage shirt at Target and paint 'ARMEE' on it.

getting mowed down by the iranian revolutionary guard might be the only way jacob wohl will face any semblance of justice, it seems

tbf there's always fragging

yeah like i’m gonna place any faith in the us military doing the right thing in 2019 xp

Her retreat came after Vice President Mike Pence gave Ms. Pelosi private assurances that the administration would voluntarily abide by some of the restrictions and rules that she had sought, including notifying lawmakers within 24 hours after the death of a migrant child in government custody, and placing a 90-day limit on children spending time in temporary intake facilities, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

real fucking bleak day

absolutely disgusting

Vice President Mike Pence gave Ms. Pelosi private assurances

Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi still live in a world where such assurances mean something. Except that is now an imaginary world, because Pence has no power to uphold those assurances and Trump dgaf.

I don’t think Pence lives in that world.

maybe they can compromise and let everyone know about dead migrant children within 7-14 days instead

I just read and reread that sentence and I'm like...I'm an unsavvy private citizen, and I goddamn well know that a private assurance from Mike Pence isn't worth the spittle generated amidst its utterance. And this is the great strategizing force upon which the dems have come to depend. And so, yeah, we might just be fucked.

Thought this T-shirt (recently featured on Jimmy Kimmel's show, but rest assured it's a very real thing) deserved memorialization.

Quite literally about to go off the rails?

perpetually.

saw a qan0n bumper sticker in the air force only parking lot today things are great

a little voice inside my head said don't look back you can never look back

My wife hates it when I say this aloud, so now I say it silently to myself: sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

“We didn’t even bother to negotiate… we’re immediately going to just saying yes to what got passed out of the Senate,” says Rep. @AOC on Pelosi’s decision to pass the Senate border funding bill.

are Shakey and Alfred still on board with Nance? Between this and "He wants us to impeach him"?

The liberal Supreme Court Justices should have hid at an armed safe-house instead of taking that gerrymandering vote.

Or simply recuse themselves from any future cases like this
