Build on FDR!

I think that if we nominate someone who presses issues rather than “vote for me because I’m not the big orange cheeto,” or whatever, that person will win, and win fairly big. If we nominate somebody who plans, like Hillary did, on just sitting back and hoping the media will do the job by assassinating Trump’s…

Agreed. I think the media genuinely despises Trump on one hand, and sees the constant “negative” attention they give him as something that can’t help but move the needle at some point. Many of them think they’re living in a new Watergate moment, and believe that their legacies will be made when Trump is finally…

I thought he could win the presidency, but wouldn’t have bet on it. However, I definitely saw, long before it became obvious, that he was going to win the GOP nomination. The sort of inverted effect the media had on him, compared to how it would have affected a traditional political candidate, was almost immediately…

there’s several versions of “corporate might-as-well-be-GOP centrist” with attempts at updated charisma for this century: Harris is black authoritarian Hillary, Pete is gay neoliberal Obama/Macron, and for those who need the legacy feeling of being Obama-adjacent, Uncle Handsy

Splinter 2017-March 2019: Impeachment is such a #Resistance grift! You can’t run on “NOT TRUMP!” Actually push for legislative action to affect change!

There is no “only correct answer”.

The only correct answer re: impeachment is one that addresses it as a strategic issue, first and foremost.

Actually, the Mexican government has bent over backwards to try to make nice with Trump. The US is Mexico’s largest ally and trading partner.

Anyone offended by the idea of US service-members sitting around doing nothing all day has never actually been in the military.

One stunt queen sticking up another. How nice.

Sadly, I agree with your prognostications and at this point can it even be called that if it keeps repeating itself? Like Charlie Brown lining up for the winning field goal, you know Lucy’s just getting ready to yank that ball away because that’s her goal in life. To thwart Charlie, fuck the game. All the policy…

If the camera catches you in the intersection on a red light, you are in the act of committing the offense.  When a traffic cop chalks your car, you are legally parked.

I’ll let you legal eagles debate the merits of this, but can we extend this to red light cameras somehow?  Shit’s not fair - absent policing at its best and revenue generator at its worst

Taken piece by piece, it looks like a normal Mercedes, but the when you take it all in at once, my brain starts doing weird things. Like the story of the blind men describing an elephant.

Between Giri’s story about eating stupid hot peppers and suggesting people watch five hours of Democratic town hall I’m wondering if this is Torture Week at ex-Gawker and you just forgot to post the graphic.

I think the new term is "lit".

Tesla is ahead of schedule.  They weren’t expecting to blow up in China for a couple more years.

And we can remind reporters that they lied about Russian collusion for more than 2 years.

Don’t confuse facts with absolute disregard for history. He mentioned Iran-Contra but has no idea what that is.
