Grandioso

Putting aside his presidency, Carter is easily the most decent human to have held the presidency in the past 100 years.

I don't know if Malcolm X's pre-Hajj black separatist cynicism still applies in 2020. There is the possibility that white liberals are so good at being secretly racist, they are electing people of all races and ethnicities as "cover."

Ok, that first sentence? WTF? "plotted to killed" "the woman's" WHAT WOMAN? Proceed directly back to journalism school. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Don't vote! Love, Trump (and the bros)

My dad hung out a couple times with Charles Harrelson and a bag man for the Chagras cartel / New Orleans mafia. I think he would see him as a regular at some local bar. Details are hazy, but my dad has never been in any trouble whatsoever. Says he was hands down the creepiest dude he's ever met. This was post-assassination of Judge Wood when he was laying low before being caught/arrested.

This is the guy's thesis? What effect on the budget would increasing taxes on $300k-$400k earners make? Biden's plan does happen to repeal $2,000,000,000,000.00 in tax cuts for the super rich and corporations.

Pretty sure this happened in a mental hospital. A 20-year old "patient" at a nursing home?

I'm not a "sycophant," I just worship him as a god!

You can tell this will do nothing when you see that the Charlamagne tweets' replies are 90% SHOCKED and VERY CONCERNED white leftists (who hated Biden anyways).

She's funny but the bit is basically "Drunk History," which is a fucking awesome show.

You forgot that a neighbor also stated that s/he didn't hear the cops announce themselves - just the crash of the door being broken in.

Wow! The NRA is staging a MASSIVE protest in Louisville over Kenneth Walker! Apparently they want to make a big deal out of how racism affects black gun owners. Just kidding.

Here comes Trump's riffing on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and The International Jew.

^^^ That's always confounded me about Stephen Miller. Bro, when the white nationalists take over and start rounding up Jews, they aren't going to spare you because you're "one of the good ones."

Maybe I'm too doom and gloom but it's almost like ideology itself is a luxury we can barely afford right now. 93,000 people have died not as a result of conservatism or liberalism but through incompetence. We basically need bureaucrats and nonpartisan policy nerds to come in and fix shit ASAFP. In the short term we need any reasonable adult to get sworn in, STFU, and handle all the mundane shit that is 98% of government.

China, if you're listening, I hope you find all of Trump's financial documents and tax returns.

Ok, he apparently got released a couple weeks ago. Good. https://www.wave3.com/2020/03/27/judge-releases-man-who-shot-officer-during-deadly-confrontation-weeks-ago/

Every day that dude sits in jail is bullshit.

Always loved this James McMurtry verse from "12 o' clock Whistle"

I think the biggest omission in the article was the historical context of 2016 v. 2020. 2016 was the year to "take a flyer" on a wildcard like Bernie or Trump. The economy was humming, Obama was running an honest executive branch, and there weren't any disasters or major scale wars going on. A "Revolution"? Sure, why not?! After 4 years of Trump I think the dominant attitude among average Joe democrats is to play this shit as safely as possible. How else does Biden win just coasting along on his name and Obama-era nostalgia.

That was a very interesting read. I don't understand her main thesis very well, but many of the observations were great.

The left is insisting mainstream Democrats are "courting" Never Trumpers when I just see the two groups as making common cause against a shared enemy. In this case, the enemy is a fascist and an existential threat to this country. I have seen no evidence the Democratic platform has moved right to cater to Never Trumpers. I have seen a lot of former Republicans saying quasi-liberal shit that they never said under Obama - and that's a good thing. It's the Never Trumpers that are moving, IMO.

Reading Democratic Socialist/Purity Left Twitter is such a fucking beating. This defiance against "the lesser of two evils" voting is fucking ridiculous. #NeverBiden, "I don't vote for rapists!," don't vote for corporate democrats! Grow the fuck up, be an adult, and accept the miserable compromises you must make in our democracy. I'm sorry voting for Biden offends you but it is basically a moral duty at this point if you really give a shit about anything you proclaim to care about. Bernie gets it. Chomsky gets it. AOC gets it. In my first presidential election, I voted for Nader because I bought into the "Gore and Bush are the same, MAAAAAN!" bullshit. If just a fraction of Nader votes had gone the other way in places like Florida for example, Gore wins that election. Three years later we're in Iraq. Yeah, no difference! Al Gore would have totally brought on Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Libby, Bolton, and the rest of the Project for the New American Century and invaded Iraq. Now, the exact same idiots with the exact same lamentations are plugging along, threatening to stay home or vote Green, having learned nothing. This despite the fact that they are shrieking about Biden having supported Iraq - the war that never would have happened if the left would have just fucking fallen in line in 2000.
