It’s a nice thought...too bad its in the spirit of supporting superstitious bullcrap from the dark ages.

It still baffles me that these Republican cronies are bending over backwards and doing high splits and somersaults to protect El Trumpo. Sure he’s a useful idiot, but it’s not like Pence would do anything different and he would be a lot less likely to be caught committing crimes. It’s like the entire Republican party…

This site (with some exceptions) is full of authors and readers who fall into the “if it’s not Bernie we’re not voting for Hillary, we’d rather burn it all down” contingent of voters in 2016. That’s who these writers are, they’d rather attack Democrats on purity bullshit than Republicans on anything. Unless they are…

I would have never spotted that this is a parody so, hey, fooled me at least!

Bernie’s untarnished heart and genetically engineered superior intellect is the only hope we have in this country in 2020.

So all week long this website advocated that Dems should be more aggressive with Republicans and attacked Democrats for being weak.

Close. But Grand Juries are fundamentally investigative in their role. And most of the things being misrepresented about them by the particular choice of words in that description, are an outflow of that.

So the immunity comes out of the way the subpoenas impact the constitutional rights to remain silent and 5th…

Calling prosecutors lazy for presenting cases in front of a grand jury is at best ignorant when that’s a requirement for indictment in 20+ states and for several types of federal charges.

> Immunity is forced upon grand jury witnesses, negating their privilege against self-incrimination, and stripping them of any “right to remain silent.” There are no judges present during the testimony and the juries, comprised of 16-23 individuals, are not screened for personal biases. The rules of evidence do not…

Posted this before in talking about Doug Jones, but Tester made my screen cap so it works here too

The continued characterization of Tester as in line with Manchin is a pretty perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with some on the left in terms of group-think and ignoring nuance— the man’s literally what this site and others have been asking for in terms of a normal person who stepped up and ran for office— he’s…

Eh, this was a lame hot take in 2013 and it’s a lame hot take now.

The United States, along with the Lima Group of countries in North, Central, and South America, [along with all of Eastern Europe, all of Western Europe that isn’t under Russian influence & Australia, which looks an awful lot like an almost comprehensive list of countries with free presses and meaningful civil…

“Republicans will never offer or propose anything so I’m not sure how this prevents a Democrat from just proposing something like France’s system?”

Please, point to where I said it should be a victory for the US? Or where we should invade? I’m curious to see how you gleaned that from my comment, because it’s just not there. If the US does anything, it should be providing equipment, supplies, and logistical support to either the Venezuelan people themselves…

“Why not actually respond to criticism instead of claiming anyone who doesn’t support your plan just wants to kill people?”

I know you guys love your socialist dictators and all, but I promise, you won’t die if you say that supporting Guaido is actually the right call regardless of the administration we currently have. We can certainly argue about what level of support the US should provide (probably materiel and logistical support only),…

It’s just depressing. On the one hand, I know snarking at those people doesn’t help, but on the other hand, any attempt to reason calmly with them is taken as a bad faith argument where your goal really is to make sure nothing changes.

“But who am I kidding. My money’s on the GND flunkies just throwing out a bunch of Twitter clapbacks thinking that they “owned” those old fuddy duddies at the AFL-CIO."

I’m not shocked that the AFL-CIO is wary of it.
