Based on what though? Imo this is why Democrats lose elections they shouldn't. One of a handful of reasons, but an important one. Picking good candidates apart for no real reason. They have all shown that they will say what they believe needs to be said to be elected. You don't think Obama and bill were neurotically ambitious and ego maniacal? Are we still pretending that Bill Clinton was some kind of awesome Dem president? Bill absolutely was as you describe, and it led to horrible policy (and politics) that haunts Dems to this day. That's precisely what we need to avoid. And I've already said how Kamala reminds me of the worst parts of Obama. Dems lose elections when they don't stand for anything real and/or don't fight for it. When that kind of Dem gets elected, they alienate the base and make independents think there's no difference between them and Republicans, which leads to W and Trump and total Republican government. I'm open to Kamala and maybe I'll change my mind. But for now, I see her administration as being merely a pause on Trumpism, leading to a superficially palatable R president who is a far more effective and competent version of Trump.

That's true, which is why it only knocks her down to around #5 on my list. But what I'm worried about is precisely returning to the business as usual that led to Trump. I mean, I'll take it over Trump, but I'd prefer a strong Dem who is guided by real principle.

Most everyone else, actually. There's a spectrum, and Bernie is certainly on one end, but from what I've seen, Harris and DiBlasio are on the other.

This is a perfect example of what I was talking about the other day on the Trump thread. Trying to discuss reality with moronic Trump supporters only reinforces their delusion that they are intelligent, thoughtful people with reasonable takes. You might as well try to prove to a scientologist that L Ron was a con man who turned his bad science fiction into a money-making cult. You won't get anywhere positive. All you do is make them feel important and emboldened by the attention. The right approach is to state the actual facts for the benefit of everyone else and, other than that, ignore them completely.

Such a sociopath

Is her face pressed up against the glass?

I would not want to be the government attorney who has to respond to this motion

The video is incredible

The degree to which the right is driven by pure hatred is incredible. And the "religious" right more than anyone.

Hopefully people are starting to realize that the president "can" do whatever people let him do. Our institutions are only as good as the people who run them. The Senate has abdicated virtually all of its authority to Trump. The House, even run by Dems, is too scared to hold him accountable. The lower courts are trying to uphold the law, but the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let Trump do whatever he wants. Without more, the Constitution and our laws are just words on paper. They can't stop the president from doing jack shit. Who is going to step up?

Rue the day? What exactly is there to lose at this point? How about we make Republicans rue the day they did something, for once?

Oh, they've figured out the on/off switch. First thing they figured out when they got em.

Haha, my God, the stupidity. That would be like Obama saying, "I didn't mean to say 47 states, I really thought there were 57 states in the moment."

Yeah but once 47 came out as 57. #57states #neverforget

I was wondering wtf she was talking about with the prosecuting banks

I'm not watching — is he in a plexiglass box because of the rain or is it a wall to protect him from being shot?

Just started raining again in the area

I hope it starts pouring when Trump is talking and Pence has to hold an umbrella over his head like P Diddy's manservant.

The guy behind Qanon is clearly trolling them to get crazier and crazier.

What a terrible parent. My God.

I know the original rumor was posted here, but it's amazing with the pic

Here's some Independence Day MAGA respect for actual patriots

Downpour just started across the Potomac from DC.

It strikes me as a good reason for her to be AG, but I want the next president to get us back to a place where the president leaves being a cop to the actual cops. One of the biggest things the next president will have to clean up is Trump's interference with DOJ and the FBI, and the best way to accomplish that is by staying out of it.
