The other salient fact is that we’ve tried this strategy before. “Duck your head, continually deny the base what it clamors for, and focus on small fry issues, in hopes that by doing so, you can protect gains in traditionally Republican districts”, is a pretty succinct description of Rahm Emmanuel’s midterm 2010…

“At this point, not pressing for a harder line and just letting Trump continue to walk all over them is looking increasingly pathetic.”

This is the salient point I think the usual anti-impeachment crowd here seems to miss over and over. It’s not good when you look weak. We can discuss until the cows come home about…

And on federal land. I'm sure he feels as a taxpayer, he owns it, but he doesn't. It's like building a house in a national park and being shocked they kick you out.

It takes a village of idiots to build a pathetically symbolic 1/2 mile of wall for a 1954 mile long border in rough terrain without a building permit.

Having lived both in Boston and Vermont, I think having a House and Senate with different representational systems is good.  The problem, from my point of view, is that the balance has gotten way off since the House was capped.  

This is just reinforcing my opinion that no one knows any fuckin’ thing.

Liberals: When Trump calls people names it’s bad and destroying our political system.

I like when they call him St Bernard. They're like children in the backseat making fussy names for their parents because they won't drive to Disneyland

For someone who’s held a federal legislative seat for over 20 years, he’s sure not “capitalisting” very well in comparison to his peers.

This whole line of attack is so laughable. It all depends on the belief that the movement towards income equality is based on the elimination of wealth. That’s not what most of us…

Lol Bernie such a hypocrite for not being greedy

At least in the Travelers case, this article is misstating what Warren actually did. Travelers was liable for paying out any future victims of asbestos exposure who had not developed symptoms at the time of the bankruptcy. This is usually handled by paying into a fund (in this case, about $500 million) to be…

Not that most nonprofit think thanks are much better tbh

This is the kind of 2016 shit I’ve been talking about. Had she sat in academia and worked on research, they’d knock her for that. If she worked for free, they’d knock her for that. They need some contrived bullshit in order to make her seem inauthentic. It could potentially be a snowball if we all let it, but we have…

Oh boy. Who ungreyed this dweeb. 

Yeah those neighborhoods just randomly got that way from blackness, totally had nothing to do with institutional racism. Fun fact: There are still tons of people around today who were legally forbidden from getting a lot of jobs because of the color of their skin.

“Meanwhile the best arguments FOR white supremacy are made simply by taking a tour through any majority black neighborhood/city/country”

*Burns AlbertoS’s house down*
“Hahaha look at that fucking homeless loser!”
*pours acid on AlbertoS’s face*
“Your whole family must be disfigured. AlbertoS the disfigured family!”

Actually, those are arguments against white supremacy, given the relevant historical context: that those problems are caused largely be the fact that minorities are forced to live in a society built on the assumption of white supremacy, and therefore consisting of institutions built almost entirely by white people for…
