US Politics, March 2020 — There’s a very good chance you’re not going to die.

Like her film choices since 1996, Susan Sarandon's endorsing Jill Stein is evidence of soul rot.

she was pretty good as bette davis in feud

What does it mean to be “loved and accepted by” and “not accepted and hated“ in terms of a hashtag?

Are there data metric systems that measure opinions of user groups that right? Source?

I’m not saying he’s wrong really.

"loved and accepted by" = booked on MSNBC

I feel like people are constantly mishearing "Bill Kristol is right about Trump" as "Bill Kristol is good now" rather than "Trump is so bad that even Bill Kristol, who is now and has always been bad, can't deny it"

yeah, conservatives always have pet liberals-- "Even the liberal x thinks Obamacare goes too far."

Remember the good old days when that was Alan Dershowitz?

Very cool!

eephus otm.

If one approvingly quotes a specific utterance of e.g. J Rubin, one is not suddenly endorsing her entire worldview. Any more than if one approvingly quotes a specific utterance of a fellow poster here.

Very cool!

The Justice Department felt it needed to rush ahead with this investigation now, in 2020, due to statute of limitations, no doubt.

A Warm, Unexpected Hug From The Back For America

Up-the-arse corner

good news everybody, GOP in-fighting continues in Alabama:

President Trump criticized Republican Alabama Senate candidate Jeff Sessions early Wednesday, asserting that his former attorney general didn’t win the state's GOP primary outright because of what Trump described as Sessions's lack of “wisdom or courage” in his handling of the Russia investigation.

“This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt,” Trump tweeted, just hours after news broke that Tuesday’s Senate primary in Alabama would advance to a runoff between Sessions and former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville.

“Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!” Trump added.

Trump’s critical tweet about Sessions suggests the president may seek to boost Tuberville in the runoff election. Trump has thus far stayed out of the race, though a source familiar with the situation told The Hill last month that Trump could support Sessions’s opponent if the race advanced to a runoff. Still, Wednesday's tweet did not contain an explicit endorsement of Tuberville.

Trump repeatedly and publicly eviscerated Sessions for his decision to recuse himself from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference during his tenure as attorney general.

Sessions and Tuberville were running neck and neck after polls closed Tuesday night — Sessions held 31.6 percent of the vote and Tuberville 33.4 percent with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

Both candidates will compete for the Republican nomination in the March 31 runoff, and the winner will face Sen. Doug Jones in the November election. Jones is considered the most vulnerable Democratic senators facing reelection in 2020.

if tuberville becomes senator, i vote that we strip auburn's share of the 2004 ncaa football national championship.

sure they were undefeated, but there was no playoff then and the sec wasn't the behemoth it is now!

sorry, it's just really fucking weird to see tommy tuberville back in the news. it was weird when he was a coach too.

Either of the Republicans are going to paste Doug Jones. He barely beat the pedophile.

yeah but he was a MAGA Pedophile

spike in African American turnout required for Doug to win - it's possible

if Sessions wins the primary and Trump goes HAM on him, GOP vote will split

I saw some surprisingly internally consistent shit-talking from NRO/TPUSA psychos about Moore. I did not expect them to actually hold being a pedophile against one of their own.

Jones has a chance.

Another chance here, too:

Steve Bullock Is Poised to Run for Senate in Montana, Officials Say

My thing with the Doug Jones situation is that IF IF IF Tuberville somehow tackles Sessions for the nomination, I’m sure they’ll be able to dig up some dirt on him, but it will probably be of the “was a sadistic shitbag to his mostly black footbaw players” variety - which is a far cry, unfortunately, from the “forced himself on teenage girls” variety that ruined Moore.

AIPAC said Wednesday afternoon that a group of people who attended its conference are now on self-quarantine. https://t.co/qQmVFpnqYv

Oops!

Jones has a chance.

Does incumbency carry any weight here?

please quarantine AIPAC til Sanders is elected

Good news: Susan Collins, Martha McSally, Thom Tillis, and Cory Gardner are all polling behind their opponents.

oh wait, i was listening to it in a different tab and didn't realize it had repeated, nevermind. but i've heard him do that before (referring to it as the "flu")

"look the weak and susceptible have always been among us, why should the strong and resistant be penalized? if they wanna work, bless'em, that's capitalism."

can't believe it, it's like he's unfit for office

FFS Schumer great time to shit the bed you

fuck

oh my stars and garters!

So @SenSchumer apologized? What weakness. This is why you’re not majority leader. You apologize to people who want to destroy you.

was the Schumer thing in Eric's deleted instagram?

No, that was about a GOP guy coming out.

The most hilarious part about this is that the auto industry is raising fuel standards because they are hopelessly politically correct.

i am so sick of these liberal "PC" heavy manufacturing industries

I automatically read the last sentence in that tweet in a Gollum voice, makes a change from reading it all in a Paul Stanley voice like I normally do to keep myself sane

Trump pushes $2 trillion infrastructure package in next coronavirus bill. Citing low interest rates, the president tweeted that now is the time to push forward with a “VERY BIG & BOLD” infrastructure package.

Always a bad sign ...

I didn't watch yesterday's Trump conference but CNN seemed to be painting it last night as some kind of pivotal moment where he was forced to face reality and lay out some serious shit for the US people (and he did a bad job, well duh). Anyone else get that sense?
