  1. I’ve been to Target several times this year and the employees were still majority minorities as they always have been. Clearly their anti-DEI policies aren’t apparent. They seem to have appeased Trump with nothing but lip service and shed maybe 20% of its customers in the process. Good job, idiots.
  2. I don’t think he figured when he gave his blessing to vote for it that nearly every single Republican was going to do it. He probably thought maybe 20 or 30, giving him an out to veto. What a dumbass.
  3. He can’t pull out of the tailspin without an assist from the courts tossing his tariffs aside and working with congress to undo much of the OBBB crap. That’s really the only way the economy improves to get him back up to 42% approval before the midterms. I really think this dude is cooked.
  4. The CA law is on much firmer legal ground but there is a clause in what the voters approved that it only goes into effect if TX goes through with their mid-decade re-districting. I’d like to see it stand if FL tries to screw around, but I think GOP shenanigans aren’t in the cards after their electoral drubbing earlier this month.
  5. Dem voters are out of fucks to give and I am here for it. Maybe Al Franken will come back.
  6. Obama:Tea Party::Trump:Whatever this is
  7. It’s impossible to message the shutdown because the Dem base is screaming something completely different. This isn’t a win if the base thinks it’s a loss. That’s not the base’s problem, it’s Dem leadership’s. They have lost touch with their own voters over the last 10 months. Fucking 70-year old grannies that voted for Hillary in 2016 are laughing at the fact that Charlie Kirk caught a bullet with his carotid. You guys who I know voted R until 15 years ago are talking about maximum pain and throwing out the old norms of politics. Because you are normal left of center voters living in the real world. Senators aren’t that. They don’t know what’s going on and the have no means of messaging that will make their voters happy. They wont learn until a few of them end up on the wrong side of a primary challenge. That is where we are headed. It’s 2010 all over again, just the blue version.
  8. To play Devils advocate, we’ve been asking for the Dems to play for naked political gain for awhile now and looks like they are finally executing the plan. I’d lump prop 50 in with this.
  9. Yes. The actual number of Dems who wanted to end the shutdown was greater than the 8. I’d even wager at least one of the 8 voted against their own beliefs but were compelled to vote the way they did. The notion that these were rogues is false. This was the work of Dem leadership and why Schumer needs to go.
  10. Certainly true, but the Plattner stuff has me thinking that even Dem voters are beginning to recognize that the perfect candidate doesn't exist, not that this particular issue with Talarico had any legs to begin with.
  11. What? The way we fix this is through primary elections. I like most of your takes but this is just stupid. Want to stop those annoying Allred texts? Beat his ass in the primary.
  12. It’s all just noise until these assholes start losing elections.
  13. He only helps the GOP win elections when he is on the ballot. He is a net negative otherwise, whether in office or not.
