Maybe I’m nitpicking, but I put AOC and Booker on opposite sides of the “The Real Deal ————————- Neoliberal Corporate Stooge/Sellout” spectrum of the Democratic Party.

you’re no fun :(

I thought I remembered one - ONE - voter fraud case where the person voted (or tried to vote) Democratic... but maybe even that one was #fakenews ;)

There have been a couple other ones in the last couple years, but it’s almost unheard of. I can’t be sure, but I seem to remember a couple of idiot MAGA chuds (or at least Republicans) who claimed they committed voter fraud in order to offset Democratic voter fraud they were convinced was taking place (convinced by Inf…

His base is no more than a subset of Republicans,

You rang?

Any psychologists in the house? Is there some way to fool Trump into believing he “won” the shutdown without giving him any money for the stupid racist useless boondoggle we’re (mostly) calling “The Wall”? He seems narcissistic and impulsive, so maybe tell him his poll numbers would go up if he changed his mind? IDK…

So did they solve the problem of “The Wall” by deciding “we’re not gonna make it out of steel or concrete, we’re gonna make it out of vertical window blinds”? That might be progress, as long as no Mexican - or American, or Mexican-American - taxpayer has to pay for it. If Trump won’t pay for it (obviously he won’t; he…

I’d like to quibble with this:

Maybe it’s the coffee - or peyote - talking, but I LOVE THIS SHIT!11!!!!111!!!!!!

One thing that struck me about this “story” is how fucking shallow we can be (some more than others). What does AOC’s appearance (her face, her feet, her whatever) have anything to do with how she governs, her competence, what she believes in, etc.?

I just want to point out a couple things:

I say start at the top, but otherwise yeah, they can burn in hell.

My two cents: this is, in part, an issue of what’s fact, what’s editorializing, and what’s some combination of both. Traditionally, the AP is mostly a “just the facts” outlet. But as soon as you get into “assigning blame” - as opposed to, say, identifying the responsible party/parties - you’ve moved towards the…

your opinion is noted.

Fun fact: McDonald’s had to rename their Milkshakes to Shakes because they had no (dairy) milk in them! Is soy milk really milk? Is a Veggie Burger really a burger? Meditate on those koans, if you dare...

I can’t wait to ignore his lies, insanity, and bullshit, and have dinner with my family instead.

OOH OOH OOH *excitedly raises hand* this is the perfect opportunity to share my favorite Noam Chomsky quote:

He may or may not have 5 billion of his own, but whatever he has he got from stiffing other people, so... the money’s not coming from Mexico, it may not come from US gov’t, it’ll never come out of Trump’s personal wealth, so... bake sale? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
