US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

it is crazy that everyone is lying so much. wow, guess i should go to conservapedia and look up deep state, i didn't know how many people were involved.

fires are threatening the Reagan Library

I really hope that all the people who work there and any human beings anywhere near it have safely evacuated with their families, and then that the entire structure and contents are turned to ash

won't someone think of the jellybeans?

There's currently an Egyptian antiquities exhibit there that I wanted to see, so maybe it should burn next year.

i hope the fire doesn't burn the library's exhibit dedicated to reagan's early action on dire warnings about climate change that were already present and swirling around Exxon and the White House by the late 70s

There’s that cool vitrine too with the scale model reproduction of workers removing the WH solar panels.

Well, he was once a spokesman for an electric power company, and an electric power company is implicated in recent wildfires, so.

(No idea where to take that, sorry)

Ran into @IlhanMN on the Hill and asked if I could ask her about the Armenia genocide vote and statement and her answer was “you may not.”

it's like a Cenk Uygar AMA

Gov. Tom Wolf (D) will sign a bill compromising with GOP to finally give Pennsylvania no-excuse absentee voting, a permanent mail voting option, & a shorter registration deadline. However, it also ends straight-ticket voting, which could hurt black turnout https://t.co/lpX5DdhU9C https://t.co/xgY8zEW52u

Anyone know why this would hurt black turnout?

oh i see

Because precincts in Democratic areas of the state, particularly in Philadelphia, are heavily under-resourced relative to the size of the voting population, banning straight-ticket voting would mean much longer lines at the polls, as each voter needs more time behind the curtain. Studies have shown the longer lines depress Democrat turnout significantly.

Studies have shown the longer lines depress Democrat turnout significantly.

With much-extended mail-in absentee voting now possible, I should think that the GOTV effort in black neighborhoods needs to adjust their strategy to emphasize early voting.

Inevitable:

NBC News confirms Fmr Nat'l Security Adv. John Bolton will report to House for deposition next week

yesss

"Mr Bolton, what is yr favorite Fresh Prince episode"

"Do you dye your mustache?"

"Is that a shiv in your pocket, and if so, upon whom do you intend to employ it?"

"Is it true that your former deputy NSA Director Charles Kupperman is 'The Eggman'?"

"do you think it's fucked up that you stand as a symbol of relative integrity in the trump administration even though you are one of the least ethical people on the planet relevant to normal people?"

"Alan Dershowitz praised you recently at a private dinner. How slimy do you still feel, or in fact does your own slime cancel it out?"

xpost Come now Karl, we're here for SERIOUS questions.

This line of questioning is completely inappropriate, and a shameful display of disrespect for a man who delivered one of the finest renditions of "When a Man Loves a Woman" ever recorded.

xp
how could i forget!

"would you prefer to have a king rather than endure a democrat elected to the white house?"

"Top or bottom?"

"Mr. Brimley, what's it like to work with Steve Guttenberg?"

Official Trump ad running during World Series

right-wing internet folks very excited to have doxed the whistleblower.

have they?

There's a name going around far right wing fringe media only.

Like confined to sites with Examiner in the name.

Would be amazed if it was accurate. Most likely reverse engineered

oh yeah, found that. it's meaningless to me and I really don't care who it is if it's not someone whose name I recognize (and it isn't). I also see that the leak of the name seems to have started with Devin Nunes' office. Fuck that shithead.

Trump spelled Nunes wrong in a tweet the other day.

I dislike Trump obviously but merely seeing Jr.'s face (let alone listening to him!) gives me such a visceral reaction of disgust and rage.

Eric is even worse to gaze upon.
