i am pretty sure i once said something like this, yes

three months pass...

what's up with justin raimondo? what do you think of that guy?

goole, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link

i don't really fuck with paleocons--alliances of convenience sure are nice to get folks in the street (hi stopwatching.us), but class analysis is pretty paramount for my willingness to take someone's thinking seriously in the long term.

and in any case, if i need somebody who gets withering on the same topics and doesn't want me to vote for ron paul, there's always max blumenthal.

yeah, interesting, thx.

pretty funny that ten years ago everyone talked about how the real drivers behind the antiwar movement were a bunch of leninist dead-enders, but the guy running antiwar.com is a buchananite

goole, Thursday, 17 April 2014 13:57 (nine years ago) link

maoist dead-enders, even!

one year passes...

yo hoos

you really think killing fast track at the cost of trade adjustment assistance is something to celebrate? i don't understand how this is a win for workers in any way...

plz explain

flopson, Friday, 12 June 2015 20:26 (eight years ago) link

oh i didn't see that this was already being discussed on the politics thread

flopson, Friday, 12 June 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link

oh hey sorry hadn't seen this

so some broader context

TAA as it was being presented in this bill was essentially shit--this bill massively underfunded it because that's the only way it would ever have a chance in the GOP led house. TAA is great and necessary--this TAA bill was a joke, and attaching it to Fast Track was a cynical white house-driven maneuver to try to ensure TPA's passage. our leg people are confident that there will be another, better shot at TAA before the summer is out.

republicans have this pattern--not just with TAA obv but with "government services in general"--of defunding programs to the point of crippling their capabilities, then claiming that they don't work. that's what they've held with TAA for years: cut, then claim its broken. we know it works when its funded, and we shouldn't have to cut medicare to pay for it, which is part of what they were pushing on this as well.

but in short our position is there's gonna be another shot at TAA, and beating TPA was big enough to take that gamble.

hoos are you dating a libertarian rn or what, feel like you spend a lot of time on this board sticking up for them, and now youre reading hayek in a bar (and tweeting about it?), lets talk

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 15 June 2015 18:46 (eight years ago) link

they are the best dressed people in all the meetings bcz they gladhand congressppl for a living

they're also our procedural sherpas--during the c-span watch party over the vote last week, when we were going "...did we just win? is that...did we win?" they were the ones who assured us we had.

lmao thumbs up

goole, Monday, 15 June 2015 18:52 (eight years ago) link

Looks like I picked the wrong day to skip legislative day.

No for reals I lobbied my school's council member on the steps of City Hall last week and holy CRAP our assigned lobbyist was SHAMELESSLY chasing CMs across the courtyard. No holds barred for reals.

FOR REAL FOR REAL I took too long to finish writing that sentence and forgot how I started it. Also I was distracted by the memory of B----- literally chasing someone who was hurrying without wanting to look like she was hurrying.
