Donald Trump said during a rally

No, she is not the leader of the party. She is the leader of the Democrats in House. Period. That is her job. She does it well. There are several other people whose job it is to do the things you say she is failing at but are not actually her role or responsibility. Call them out. Unless you want to do the GOP’s grunt…

Oregon (where I practiced) and Louisiana require 10-2 to convict or find not guilty. Not a simple majority. Anything other than that is a mistrial.

A rally for what exactly for fucks all sakes? Propoganda rally that’s what. Election is over, you won, congrats. Not why don’t you actually govern and do your job. Scratch that, you suck at that. Don’t do that either.

Sometimes.... I kinda wish the world got nuked... Just like, meh, nukes. Ya know?

I have no idea why anybody would go after Pelosi for Ossoff. Hell, she’s been fighting Trump pretty hard imo, certainly harder than a lot of Dems.

What I do not understand is why those are apparently mutually exclusive. Economic freedom is intimately connected to social realities, much of which can be lumped under ‘identity politics’. Why do the Democrats have to throw women, POC, religious minorities, etc. under the bus to support programs that shore up the…

In an A said/B said rape trial, it’s as easy as a walk in the park for a moderately competent defence counsel to get the jury to confuse “beyond reasonable doubt” with “beyond the faintest hint of a whiff of an iota of a scrap of a concept of a doubt, and none of us were there in the room, so how could we possibly say…

Sometimes I really find it hard not to think that in sexual assault cases if an accused decides to plead not guilty and take the case to trial, they should be required to testify. None of this “no case to answer” bullshit. Your lawyer gets to cross-examine the complainant? That’s cool, the prosecution get to…

Someone should mention to Trump that this is a lot more what a witch hunt looks like - lots of people turning on a woman who is too much of something (old, shrill, liberal, centrist, stubborn, willing to compromise...) while blaming her for things that can only even be argued as tangentially related to her.

That’s not what her leadership position is. The person/people you want to resign are the heads of the DNC, the DCCC and DSCC. The House Minority Leader is the person who corrals already elected congresspeople, and she is better at that than anyone in recent memory. She should definitely already be training someone to…

You might have a point about her age except... there is no specific charge of dementia or infirmity, and the calls are coming from the same people pushing for Sanders in 2020, when the man will be 78 (and 82 at the end of one single term).

That is very vague. Which people are not going to vote dem? White working class? How is the platform watered down? Exactly who are the dems that do not vote because of such platform? I really do not see it. 

I’d read earlier today that someone had set the roadside collection of flowers, etc., in her memory afire.

It’s so weird. She has an important, time-consuming job that actually affects the way the country is governed. This is exactly why we have party offices that aren’t just elected officials.

She’s just their new Hillary. Blame her for everyhting you don’t like about the party and demand she go while also getting pissed off about her not “helping” enough despite your hate of her...but if she does help she did it wrong and fuck her.

I’d read earlier today that someone had set the roadside collection of flowers, etc., in her memory afire.

Yes, working class white voters have definitely made it clear they would be convinced by a more liberal message... I don’t know when that group is going to figure out we are never getting the coal miner vote. It’s not going to happen and continuing to throw POC and women under the bus (under the guise of abandoning…

The poor baby girl

Obstruction doesn’t work!
