US Politics, June 2020 — You have to dominate.

it's also a signature technique of abusive people

Looks like Parscale is stepping down to count his money.

Republicans sent John Cornyn out to troll @SenKamalaHarris while she explained in detail why their bill is a transparent effort to derail actual police reform. It did not go well. pic.twitter.com/gFn5JddH8g

Looking forward to voting against this fucker

lol

i can't believe he had to do a dramatic pause in order to give himself enough time to come up with that gotcha attempt

That expression is what a goat fucker looks like.

harris: your criticisms of the process are pointless because your own majority leader has already said that republicans won't participate in good faith on police reform

cornyn: .....but we should be on tv, where americans can see us

harris: we are on tv. and the senate judiciary committee hearings are on tv.

cornyn: .....im fuckn a goat

Hmm, I thought I saw reports that Parscale is out. Maybe not? But if he's not, I saw some report that Jared and Ivanka are also mad at him, which means they are throwing him under the bus for the sake of their own access, since there were also reports Trump was mad at Jared.

Anyway, fuck all these horrible assholes.

no thanks

Can't wait to hear how much of tonight's rally ends up devoted to clearing up all the Fake News about Saturday's rally.

wonder if the 99.9% effective coronavirus technology will get a mention

it's cute when Republicans try to get all sciencey

they only get sciencey when it's seen as compatible with god, or inspired by or even directly created through god

You can tell it's honest because it boasts 99.9% effectiveness. If they had said 100%, then I would have been a little suspicious.

the appropriate "ivory" rule

AP call! Dems just chose their nominee in #VA05, it'll be @DrCameronWebb.

This is a GOP-held seat but the GOP incumbent was ousted at a "drive-thru convention", in part for officiating a same-sex wedding. So Webb will face @GoodForCongress, who used to work at Liberty Univ.

This is a potentially big blow to Meadows: I suspect the president doesn't like his endorsed candidates to lose by 30%+. Next time Meadows/Freedom Caucus ask Trump to endorse a friend, wonder how much sway they'll have. https://t.co/nR5biicd7m

That Harris clip is good!

Will she be the VP candidate?

Good morning!

Yeah, NY results are looking pretty good so far.

Do we have Kentucky yet?

What elections are these?

Dem primary to run against Mitch. McGrath (MOR) or Booker (more progressive). Could be a case, a la Iowa, where the leftier person winning the primary costs the Dems the election, but I don't know how things stand in KY. McGrath (who now that she has a challenger is not passing progressive purity tests) seems to be slightly in the lead right now.

Ppl have been saying McGrath sucks for a long time.

Yeah, but they would have voted for her and they clearly have been raising money for her.

Politico story about grumpy black voters in a rich Detroit suburb

I think these people are wrong; I think Trump's alienated enough white voters, and riled up enough people, that he's gonna lose. Especially since he barely won in the first place. But I'm curious what others think of this piece.

hahaha I'm about to write about that one

Most of their comments are 100% otm.

Comments otm, but scans so anecdotal and desperate for portent that it might as well be about sailors sighting a mermaid on the Detroit River. imo.

Don't get me wrong, "Trump gonna win" is a unbeatable rebuttal to any argument, but the bigger picture story they're telling has nothing to do with Trump winning or losing.

Exactly.

Looks like Michael Flynn's case has been ordered dismissed in appeals.

An appeals court has ordered Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss Michael Flynn’s case, a surprise conclusion in a long-running political fight. Via @kpolantz

Is it really that big a fucking surprise?

They should put him on the campaign trail ASAP!

God, that Detroit article.

I think these people are wrong; I think Trump's alienated enough white voters, and riled up enough people, that he's gonna lose. Especially since he barely won in the first place. But I'm curious what others think of this piece.

they're definitely right that Biden won't inspire anybody and that picking Kamala would be pure pandering (though lol @ picking Michelle Obama) though I do think they underestimate just how motivated people are to get Trump out of office

agree with yr assessment frogbs

Now whether that motivation will actually get him out of office is another story, but the motivation is there.

*strolls into political discussion at suburban detroit cookout*

Biden's up by 14 in the first NYT poll, do we have thoughts

like I understand that people are still shellshocked about 2016 and the fact that Trump has even 35% approval when he's so obviously a racist idiot who doesn't give a shit about America or the lives of American people but he's still deeply unpopular, everything he does is unpopular, it'll take even more of a fluke for him to win now than it did in 2020, especially since there's no "c'mon, this moron can't seriously win this" factor this time around

The Detroit article was obviously a fishing expedition:

"I asked Johnny Thomas what he does for a living. “I’m retired,” he said, looking straight ahead. Then he glanced around the table. “I was a commander with the Detroit Police Department.”"
