An endorsement could possibly backfire in TX considering how fucking red most of it is outside of the major cities. Also, I like Beto but I’ve heard that he supposedly had some shady business thing 15 plus years ago in El Paso that a few other Dems were concerned about (I haven’t seen a mention of it lately, but…

Seriously don’t understand why the press isn’t spending more time looking at Ammar when they do the whole “invite Dems” on but end up inviting Bernie (the non Dem) and his disciples. Ammar’s a leftist, too.

I’ve already seen them throwing a fit, which is kind of hilarious since President Obama endorsed some Justice Dems and people who lean far left in addition to the center left (big tent and all). Ammar Campa-Najjar is all for universal healthcare, getting big money out of politics, etc. and I hear crickets (maybe…

Except he endorsed several Justice Dems (he endorsed people ranging from center left to far left, actually, in fitting with the big tent theme). I like AOC, but I struggle with why people are making her the face of the party and acting like she’s the only one who matters when she won with 10-15% turnout in a deep blue…

I sometimes feel people like Cruise, Moss, etc. are both victims and villains when it comes to Scientology. There have never been allegations of Cruise being physically abusive or participating in the sexual abuse in Scientology, but at the same time by promoting it he is complicit. And there’s definitely an angle of…

Ah, Kinja isn’t letting me edit.  I meant Tapper’s comments about President Obama and Linda Sasour. 

Preach. They owe us nothing, but the sad thing is they have been doing some things and receiving almost zero acknowledgement for it anyway. For example, I’ve seen almost zero coverage in the American press about the Obama foundation holding their first annual meeting for fellows in S. Africa.

I thought she was a bit younger, like 24. 13 years isn’t nearly as bad as 17 years.  Still barely qualifies as the half your age plus seven rule. 

I miss the Obamas so much. Also, Jake Tapper remains trash and tweeted a trash take about how the Obamas shouldn’t be going to a concert because the Democratic party is in trouble. Luckily, the replies ripped into him.

I didn’t say they were funded, I said they were co-founded, but they certainly don’t deny the associations with TYT. And sorry, I think the so called good track record is completely obliterated by legitimizing Assadists (and multiple ones at that) who flat out deny war crimes and a racist piece of shit like Michael…

Isn’t the Justice Dems co-founded by Cenk Uygur of TYT? The same Cenk who employs Assadists like Jimmy Dore and Michael Tracy? Tracy is also a straight up racist and misogynist and was actually fired from VICE of all places for his racism...but TYT didn’t have an issue with it.

I understand and I think Obama was right when he said “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” But...it’s so tiring because Bernie keeps doing this shit over and over again when it comes to straight up addressing race and the press, especially the far left white brosocialists, keep giving him a tongue bath.

Didn’t she finally get the funding/script done for Americanah? That’s supposedly Lupita’s passion project and it is supposed to shot soon. I imagine between that, the new film by Jordan Peele, the film with Viola, and having to work around Marvel’s notoriously hardass scheduling for Black Panther 2 that a Charlie’s…

I just looked that up and outside of TJ it has kind of an interesting cast: Vincent Cassel, Mamoudou Athie, Jessica Henwick, John Gallagher Jr., etc. Also looks like a director who was given a shot after toiling for a while...so this was his possible big break.

I agree (like I’m sick of Feinstein and we can get someone much further left here in CA), but I am slightly frustrated with the Clinton wing going “everyone’s gotta be like Hillary” and the Bernie wing being “like if you don’t support free college tuition or take money from Emily’s List (of all places), you’re a…

*does, not did.  Kinja isn’t letting me edit for some reason...

I believe she supports Palestinians. The problem is that it was a dumb answer (and the GOP is even dumber isn’t really an excuse) and could have easily been twisted around to bash her.

Agree with this more or less. The racism is utterly despicable and unforgiveable, but he’s being complicit as fuck.

The thing that gets me is Rouhani didn’t even say anything that bad and yet the press is framing this as “Trump responds to threat” or cherry picking the “mother of all wars” part and using that in the headline.

I want him to do something like that so badly, just “I told you dumb ass bitches”. Fucking fascist right wingers, and the stupid white progressives who keep bleating “Obama’s doing nothing” when he’s been setting up the Obama foundation (they had their first big meeting in S. Africa this weekend, too, with Kofi Annan…
