Don’t hold your breath. If Pelosi literally tossed Trump down a reactor shaft Star Wars style, Splinter would be right there bitching that she lifted with her back instead of her legs.

When will this site report honestly on Pelosi’s trepidation in initiating an impeachment inquiry? Seems like everyone outside of this echo chamber understands that she was protecting Democrats in vulnerable (conservative) districts, who, if forced into an impeachment vote, would have potentially jeopardized the…

“Travis Helwig and Yale Fried of Crooked Media, the very cringey centrist company founded by former Obama staffers”

When we look in retrospect, it seems almost insultingly simple— “well duh, of COURSE she wasn’t going to move until she had enough votes!”— but christ, when I look back at all these months, and all my chawed-up fingernails, and all the conspiracy theories about how Pelosi is actually a collaborator, etc. etc., it was…

Waiting to use “centrist” until the third paragraph and eschewing “neoliberal” entirely shows amazing restraint. Good job. Maybe someday you’ll be a writer. 

Splinter: Pelosi, do something!

Some of us have been suggesting for awhile now that she was very likely playing the timing game.

Yes!! Excellent point— one I’m sure has gotten buried in all this mess. If the nat-sec operators are on board, AND they all seemed to jump on board at once like that, that means Schiff has something heavy for Pelosi to use.

Really bad decision to...wait for wider support and more substantial claims before pursuing a weighty political action, I guess?

Aha, so I guess she WAS just waiting for the stampede to happen. Christ! Well, finally those foot-draggers have hopped on the impeachment wagon and cleared up the issue for her. Trump just handed this to her on a silver platter. Good.

Yeah, it was a bit odd for Samantha to be all, “Pete is such a bore, and here’s a Republican strategist to help make that point for me!” Uhhhh....

That’s a ridiculously uncharitable interpretation of what Pete said; in fact, a literal reading of the quote would make the exact opposite argument!

This entire post is just presenting the opinion of an old Republican operative as fact, which is an incredibly weird thing for a liberal website to do. 

Perhaps he can’t do arithmetic, but you know he can spell PSILOCYBIN.

He should stick to insisting that women use wet wipes. I somehow find that LESS creepy. 

“One senator who spoke to the president’s daughter about gun legislation said the first daughter made it clear she wanted to do something on the issue, but did not reveal a specific opinion.”

yeah, but, who was he wearing?

I mean you’re literally, provably, self-evidently wrong. The United States instated all of the workers’ rights including the 40 hour week with no “concessions from the working class.” Other countries have already instated 36 and 32 hour work weeks. You’re just...wrong. Your whole claim is patently nonsensical because…

“No, workers do not need unions, workers need to form their own organizations, independent of the unions...”

this is a really horrendous nonsense post are you actually a libertarian trying to do some kind of mental gymnastics around your own terrible worldview because you’ve finally started to figure out that its just corporate feudalism or whats up here my friend. “workers don’t need unions they need something exactly like…
