U.S. Politics, November 2022: “I don’t know, you hear the same things I do”

If John Ritter, David Duchovny, and Jason Bateman had a baby...

looking at pictures of dean with gore and clinton, then looking at pictures of them with obama, GWB, etc, I'd say 5-10 or 5-11 seems reasonable for dean

I voted for Dean in the primary even after he'd been mathematically eliminated, partly because I thought the media reaction to his yelp was one of the weirdest cases of political journalism groupthink I've ever seen.

it's pretty quaint, post-trump and all the crazy shit that happens on a daily basis now, to think of a time when THAT was something that could sink your career

yeah, didn't get it at the time, LOL at it now

Anyway I thought Dean was fucked cos of the fact he was unapologetically pro choice and also that stupid “scream” video.

― after several days on “the milk,” (gyac),

now I imagine Dean as Janet Jackson in the "Scream" video.

I'd take Bernie over 40 year-old Peter Buttigieg.

regardless of who we’re comparing him to, Bernie’s time has expired! he should retire

I shouldn't have said 'retire', I just think that his time is over as a presidential candidate

Bernie should steal Mayo Pete’s life energy and serve another 40 years

mayo has a dearth of life energy is what i'm tryna say here

Make Pete a blood boy for the geriatric Dems

x-post -I'd take Bernie over 40 year-old Peter Buttigieg.

Ideally a younger liberal or progressive would be best, but Pete's just a centrist corporate go-getter

A new benchmark for bothsidesing. If you click through, what she's referring to is the Biden WH being misleading about allowing Vogue to set up a private photo shoot ahead of the White House wedding.

A low point for the Washington Post. https://t.co/THHuqKRhzK

Ashley Parker of course got her start as Maureen Dowd's researcher. Apples, trees, etc.

wait maureen dowd has researchers

I know we’ve all moved on but Dean’s campaign was artificially inflated by the media thinking internet support was more powerful in 2004 than it actually was; he did the scream as part of a speech where he was trying to rally his supporters after coming in third at the Iowa Caucus as compared to what his campaign and the pundits were expecting. The scream didn’t make him lose, he was already losing

I think that's true and it was going to be Kerry anyway. But the coverage of the scream was really something else.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-trump-tax-returns-house-ways-and-means-committee-democrats/

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to block the Treasury Department from turning over several years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee, clearing the way for Democrats to obtain the records weeks before Republicans take control of the House in January.

lol so ... a few more years?

Boy those IRS auditors are gonna by annoyed by this interruption

Honestly an insane amount of legal Ls Trump is getting today across the board.

Everyone who applied and was eligible for a personal letter saying they were approved but payment was blocked by the courts. And now this. Praxis. Finally starting to feel like they get it.

It's sort of wild to watch a Democratic leader finally acknowledge the industry of conservative judges, AGs, and lawyers dedicated to neutralizing them, and respond to that with executive power. And then to realize that that person is Joe Brandon https://t.co/M4Zuu5529l

👍

ashley parker is a whiny fucking baby

If Warnock wins the Senate can subpoena the tax records that the new House will bury, right? Something about the split and committees hamstrung them?

biden should have extended the pause to June 30, 3023

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to block the Treasury Department from turning over several years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee"

I'm kind of picturing the room with Ned Beatty from Network and the message being "tell the Justices to take him down, he is of no use to us now".

A stopped clock

The military seems pretty focused on those things already.

They're really best in class at it.

I mean, it’s an honest mistake, right? https://www.newsweek.com/herschel-walkers-erection-remark-spark-torrent-memes-jokes-1761658?amp=1

A new low for Pompeo:

In an interview with Semafor this week, Pompeo said: “I get asked, ‘Who’s the most dangerous person in the world? Is it Chairman Kim, is it Xi Jinping?’ The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It’s not a close call. If you ask, ‘Who’s the most likely to take this republic down?’ It would be the teachers’ unions, and the filth that they’re teaching our kids, and the fact that they don’t know math and reading or writing.”

God he's a fucking asshole

He somehow thinks he's got a shot at the 2024 nomination. But, like so many in the field, he's just an asshole without Trump's power to mobilize the mouth-breathing masses.

yeah, I think he's just desperate to get noticed, so there will probably be more hateful drivel - he's just so utterly without charm, the dickhead thing is all he's got

Mrs. Gomez and her girlfriend are a bigger threat than the China guy.

Pompeo is like Chris Christie without his endearing comedic qualities.

Peace out, Sarah Palin

yaaassss

Murkowski first joined the Senate in 2002, when she was appointed by her father, then-Gov. Frank Murkowski, to fill a vacant seat. This wasn’t the first time she’s faced opposition from conservativates: In her 2010 reelection bid, Murkowski was defeated by a right-wing primary challenger, Joe Miller, but came back to beat Miller in the general election as a write-in candidate.

Low population state and all, but still that's kind of incredible

And Peltola will likely be Alaska's next Democratic senator. Well played.

Whoever wrote that could have tried to make it sound like him.

The "vote for TRUMP" part kind of sounds like him.

Narrator: He definitely knew Nick Fuentes.

"Fuentes can't be a racist. His name is Fuentes!'

TBF, he expressed no anti-Semitism.
