And damned if Christmas hasn’t been winning for a hundred and fifty years, now.

Yes, and they also thrive in chaos. They have spent their lives being told they are under attack and will have to make huge and difficult sacrifices in the name of their lord - Trump is bringing that environment straight to them and they love it.

This is awesome. I hope that somewhat purple Florida can elect a genuine progressive. Time to start disproving the (very unproven) theory that you’d have to run as a centrist in a place like that.

Take a good long look at 45 addressing his cult. The people in that room don’t believe in Jesus - they believe in the holy dollar. And 45 is their pope.

In April, evangelical support for Trump was at an all-time high, with 69 percent of evangelical voters responding that they would prefer him over another Republican in 2020.

Choosing a screen name which evokes memories of a guy who fell to his death from the rafters of a hockey arena in Kansas City actually lines up pretty well with how bad a take this is and also is a pretty good metaphor for the party itself.

Why Are Democrats Poised to Let 7 Trump-Nominated Judges Slide to Confirmation?

Yes this is called doing proper statistics.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to revive the age old tradition of the town crier for the gig economy. Participants who download the app receive push notifications and then walk out into the street to scream the local news.

And it’s not like there’s a shortage of evidence of this asshole’s quality of character, either. Did they all suddenly just forget how he treated a military gold star family, or how he mocked someone with a crippling disability, or the countless other examples of the kind of person he really is?

Reporters expecting any show of empathy, remorse, or shame out of trump is kind of hilarious, tbh. He’s clinically incapable of those emotions. His flag stunt is about as deep as his emotions ever run.

The logical conclusion to this episode is Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer marching into the Oval Office with McCain’s corpse between them Weekend at Bernie’s style, demanding the president show deference to a True American Hero. 

“It’s at this point you might ask yourself, “Wait, wasn’t Al Capone a criminal kingpin who was extremely guilty of federal tax crimes?” Why, yes, he was. Thanks for pointing that out, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.”

To complete the analogy, let’s not forget Capone’s raging syphilis. 

While I think some streamers/pros do promote toxic behavior, the majority is perpetuated online in forums, Discord’s, and Reddit’s. It is then acted upon in game and the real world (things like Swatting) this was the next evolution of that toxicity. 

Democrats should probably focus on what they are going to do for Americans between now and November.

Dems: “The GOP has taken over the entire government. I’m not sure our center-right message is reverberating with today’s voters.” “We have massive evidence that today’s voters are very open to left wing socialist policies like universal healthcare, raising minimum wage, universal income, shutting down military…

That’s been the counterpoint from the right to literally everything Trump is ever caught doing: either “Obama did something similar” or “one of the Clintons did something similar.” In almost all cases, whatever the Trumpites are pointing to that Obama or Clinton did are not remotely similar, and/or are much less in…

> “What am I supposed to overlook? The fact that Trump was having sex with Stormy Daniels?” [Joanne] Zervos said. “Who cares, honestly?”

Dudes and Dudesses, I only thread-jump when there’s really interesting news, but there really is: Barbara Underwood, the doughty and very accomplished Manhattan prosecutor, has taken the first steps to file charges again the Trump Organization for fraud related to the taxes on the Michael Cohon payoffs, and also has…
