  1. But he just copied and pasted from an nbcnews.com article and went through it and censored those words himself.
  2. Republicans voted for ACA subsidies when they were first implemented in 2020, it wasn't a huge stretch to think they'd vote for them again if they felt political pressure to do so. Frankly, I thought it was an insufficient ask when this shutdown started because any sensible Republican party would've just said "ok fine" then claimed credit for passing a bill to lower healthcare costs. Their ideological hatred of poor people and/or Trump's refusal to ever admit defeat led the GOP to some really really fucking stupid behavior in response to what was a pretty aimless Dem shutdown. Basically, Dems played a bad hand poorly but the GOP played a better hand much worse, and they somehow ended up in a draw. Then, the Dems inexplicably folded after the river was dealt and the GOP had shown their hand.
  3. Why are you censoring "kidnapping" and "sexual assault"?
  4. I see Ana has hacked Washpark's password.
  5. They're less organized and more bumbling than you could possibly imagine. The result of all that bumbling though is that their behavior is for all practical purposes indistinguishable from what it would be if they were secretly colluding with the GOP.
  6. Greenblatt has effectively killed the ADL, he just doesn't realize it yet. Turning what was probably the most widely respected civil rights organization in America into a pro-Israeli hard right PAC that is all but officially a wing of the Republican party is one of the dumbest fucking things you could possibly do with an organization like that. If I were more conspiratorial, I'd say he was a Republican plant. The truth though is he's just a racist little shit who hates Palestinians and was willing to sacrifice everything else to hurt them.
  7. Chris Wray wasn't with the FBI when Comey was in charge.
  8. That's called democracy. People should expect to get what they vote for.
  9. It's very clearly not, unless several Dem Senators lose primaries. Some caved today because they're worried about people going hungry, others caved because they're worried about the impact to air travel a longer shutdown would have, but they all caved to protect the filibuster. Trump was leaning hard on the GOP Senators to eliminate it and they would've folded to him sooner than later. It's very likely that all Dems actually needed to do was wait another week, but they didn't want to risk it because there's still too many Dems who think the filibuster is important.
  10. Making the GOP abolish the filibuster to push through harmful and unpopular legislation would've been a win. But too many Dem senators still want to preserve the filibuster, so they didn't really have any achievable goals.
  11. Fantastic messaging work, Dick. Voters love hearing about how Senate procedure matters more than anything else.
  12. Sure he can. He was already doing that illegally, he'll just do it illegally again.
  13. That vote is never going to happen.
  14. Hey look, this is the case yet again.
  15. Axios is a seemingly-mainstream mouthpiece for Republican ratfuckers. If you have any media literacy, it’s not hard to tell that their political sources are almost all Republican operatives and they’re one of the GOP’s favorites for reporting “Dems in disarray” narratives.
  16. Real crappy. We should be up by 8-12 right now.
  17. Vote for me and I’ll throw Elon into an oubliette and very slowly fill it with water over a period of several weeks.
  18. It helps that Allred sucks ass.
  19. When I was a kid the neighbors had a son who would do literally anything for attention. He’d smear mud on his face and pretend it was shit, he’d throw rocks at you, etc. It took me awhile to understand, but he was mostly doing it because he wanted to be friends, but he’d learned from his parents that the only thing that got him any attention was bad behavior. He was 10. It’s hard to imagine what a miserable, friendless existence he’s likely living now.
  20. Well damn, we might actually see a real civil war in the Texas GOP.
  21. Gotta give credit where it’s due, Ana pretending he doesn’t want to be adversarial is some top shelf trolling. Much better than the usual slop he gives us.
  22. Naw, she knew what she was getting into.
  23. I don't think anyone here thinks Schumer and Jeffries are capable of changing their stripes. I very much wish Platner was what he had appeared to be, it's just clear to me that he isn't. You'll all get there soon enough.
  24. The money guy saying the campaign isn't aligned with his professional standards is a pretty glaring red flag.
