never forget he ran those Willie Horton commercials in the 1988 campaign-

And Jimmy Carter outlives another one.  

That's a decent start to the weekend. Can we get a few more?

I am glad that someone who fantasized about causing harm to great numbers of people was arrested before he could cause harm to great numbers of people.

“Edward Clark, 23, fatally shot himself on Roosevelt Island near Washington within hours of the Oct. 27 Pittsburgh shooting at Tree of Life synagogue, the court filings for Jeffrey Clark said.”

unboxing videos...how does this phenomenon exist

I am a white man who got his degree at an HBCU. This idiot’s actions do not in any way, shape of form represent in any way my experience.

I expect people right around their 20s to be like that. I was like that. I voted for Nader in the 2000 election, and even though my individual vote didn’t ultimately matter in red-as-fuck Kansas, the attitude is something that spreads to places where it *does* matter.

Do you know what happens when people don’t vote for Democrats?

Yeah, lemme think... Do I want to live in an Autocratic Dictatorship run by White nationalists and idiotic morons... or accept some pac money that some of which came from corporations that will have no direct influence on my platform and can help win a close election? Decisions... decisions. Maybe I should watch…

The argument is that we’re in the final weekend of midterms and they’ve got to get some more shitting on Dem candidates in to try and crank down that turnout.

Seriously. Jesus, I don’t get these articles lately. Are they actively trying to maintain a Republican majority at this point?

If you want to fix the problem, put people in office that have gone on the record as wanting to fix the problem. Pretending like Dems should fight with one hand tied behind their backs is lunacy.

So what’s the actual argument here, because all I’m getting is yet another scattershot attack on Dems for *gasp* taking money from people so they can actually win elections...

Independence USA has also spent $4.4 million on California’s 48th district, where Harley Rouda is trying to unseat batshit Congressman Dana Rohrabacher

Well that clinches it, the Democrats are simply not pure enough to support. Everyone vote 3rd party or stay home on Election Day. That’ll send a strong message to the establishment that they’d better clean up their act and take us seriously, which in turn will lead to nothing but 100% ideological wholesome …

I was thinking this too, specifically watching Dan Rather in the evening back in the day, calmly delivering the news as-is, occasionally cutting to a reporter on location somewhere. No grid of talking heads shouting over each other. No opinions inserted. Just “Hello, I’m Dan Rather here’s the news for today. Alright,…

Seriously, when I was a college student I knew how to file my taxes on a 1040EZ, send in my student loan paperwork on time, keep duplicate copies of things, AND use the post office.

Yeah, I miss the Headline News concept. Honestly, I really prefer to watch CBSN during the day because it’s the closest thing to that format, but it’s often easier to have a TV on cable depending on what I’m doing at work at the moment.

Thanks for correcting that. That’s still a pretty awful scenario.
