What sickens me about articles like Frums is that any historical context of US foreign policy in South America is completely scrubbed from the record. People don’t just leave their homes in droves for no reason. Why it happens is never explored, or even mentioned! You don’t even need to look very far to connect these…

Dang Nate, I wish there was some kind of math wiz that could pull hotel data into a nice infographic for me with some analysis using historical context.

“But that’s the kind of thing you do once the country’s leadership is respected again”

Lol imagine choking up over joe lieberman

Okay fine here’s a quote from last year that shows how in touch he is with the moment and definitely how he’ll govern

I think being one of the architects of a bill that throws hundreds of thousands of people in jail for long sentences for minor offenses is pretty evil and makes you a pretty bad person. I don’t really know what progressive things you’re talking about. If you point to the ACA it was the GOP bill that the Democrats…

‘Those concerns have more to do with political optics than investigative necessities: Democrats fear that the appearance of going after Trump’s children is the one thing that could elicit sympathy for a president…

In other infuriating news coming from Dem leadership: they don’t wanna go after Trump’s kids ‘cause they think it will backfire. Yeah the kids that almost went to jail for fraud.

Everything about this comment is awful.

“Questioning support for the US-Israel relationship is unacceptable”

Oh all Obama had to do to get mcconnell to bring a vote on garland was to go to his office and sit with him for a minute? A real blunder on his part. Finally someone speaking sense.

The Health industry is one of Pelosi’s top donors over the entirety of her career so yeah that’s what’s in it for her.

Lol is there a better poster child for supporting Sanders’s policy than Meghan McCain. She represents everything wrong with the power structure.

What will never stop being funny is that this was an easily avoidable scandal. There are plenty of hawkish, ultra zionist, corrupt assholes plaguing DC to hire for these sorts of positions but Trump just had to get Jared.

This is very, very good. Scare the shit out of these people so that when it comes time to vote for the really heavy hitting stuff like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal they’ll be too scare to defy the progressive Dems.

I bet if activists starting getting the due credit they deserve for coming up with and pushing for literally every piece of progressive legislation then people might stop idolizing shitty politicians, pundits, other people with large amounts of money.

every time someone brings up russia having something on a us politician that has been a cretin their whole lives i die a bit inside.

Missing from the report in regards to chicago:

Hmmmm maybe convincing rich people to not innoculate themselves against medieval diseases isn’t a bad thing.
