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

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.

xp

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.

No, that was about a GOP guy coming out.

Not actually deleted, the posted link is messed up.

what happened with Schumer

he said something sounded threatening to gorsuch/kavanaugh, and that's behavior the republicans cannot abide, even though trump threatens people every single day

nothing that matters, he said some mean things about Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, the GOP clutched their pearls, Schumer offered a half-hearted "apology" - nobody outside the beltway will even hear about this, and those inside the beltway won't gaf in, oh 12 hours.

oh, and then he apologized, which makes sense but in 2020 is unforgivable

oh that! I read about it yesterday.

IIRC, he got a bit animated talking to abortion rights protestors on Monday. Something like:

Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh! Hark! Hark, Triton. Hark! Bellow, bid our father, the sea king, rise from the depths, full foul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt-foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge, and brine, and can scream no more. Only when, he, crowned in cockle shells, with slithering tentacled tail, and steaming beard, takes up his fell, be-finnèd arm, his coral-tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest, and plunges right through your gullet, bursting ye, a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now, a nothing for the Harpies, and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon, only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the dread emperor himself. Forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god, or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff, or part of Winslow, even any scantling of your souls, is Gorsuch and Kavanaugh no more, but is now itself the sea.

Schumer apologizing now validates the idea that he was encouraging violence against justices, what a fuckin joke.

and I knew he was gonna do it but hoped that just maybe he'd just ignore it or at least say "come the fuck on, you know what I meant you disingenuous asshole" in nice words.

Schumer's an awful leader and worse politician

the silver lining is I didn't expect much from him on this so

yeah. fuck harry reid for passing the torch to him

I’m not sure who else he coulda given it to, unfortunately. He does tend to keep his caucus together at least

chuck schumer is the kind of guy who can make you pine for harry reid and folks that is fucked up

The “no cheers for mccain” thing at the obamacare vote was... something

Reid threw way more punches than schumer has

reid just cold making up that story about romney not paying taxes for decade and then refusing to apologize is the funniest shit ever

Lol yeah Reid was def funnier

reid was 10000000000000x better than schumer

Reid was a cold-eyed motherfucker who controlled Nevada. The last of the bosses.

he was literally a boxer

Before Reid was Tom "I'm Deeply Saddened" Daschle.
