  1. Adam Schiff for President! Only half joking. The democratic primary has gone about as bad as possible if the goal for the prospects of beating Trump. Most likely outcomes are Biden with a bunch of pissed off progressives or Bernie and god knows what. The chaos in the party either way will lay the groundwork for Trump's victory. Plus, why shouldn't he just call up Putin tomorrow and say "I've been thinking about lifting Russian sanctions in the national interest. And uhh... oh yeah, we need you to do us a favor. You remember those Russian intelligence guys you had helping us out in 2016. Can they fire up their operation again? No quid pro quo! Thanks, Vlad!" This is a dark day and a majority of the country is clueless.
  2. The dishonesty is absolutely staggering. They're going to acquit without witnesses tomorrow. No doubt. They calculated the risk and the blowback from acquittal/cover-up is less than letting Bolton testify.
  3. Small government...so small they can get up in your genitals.
  4. Does she win? Probably. I'm not giving up on her. I'm going to do what I can next week and then in the lead up to Super Tuesday. I'll vote for her in Virginia.
  5. She really has to go all in on Iowa. Needs to win or be second to Bernie with Biden 3rd or 4th. If she wins, then she's suddenly the come back girl and it breaks her out of the cycle of decline. I can also see a scenario where Biden declines after losing IA and NH and she finds a lane as a compromise candidate for those who can't get behind Bernie. Really disappointed she hasn't rebounded more clearly. Trying to wrap my head around Bernie as the nominee and President. It's kind of a high risk, high reward/costs situation. I could see him being a disaster and letting the republicans recover from Trump somehow.
  6. I hope this is real momentum for her down the home stretch in Iowa. Reminded me of this take from Harry Enten: Does Elizabeth Warren surge too? What effect does impeachment trial next week have on Biden? Dems rally behind him?
  7. After Trump is acquitted, I don't know why the administration would respond to ANY congressional subpoeanas. I guess they might selectively to ones where they don't give a shit. But republicans in the Senate will basically be granting him a license to refuse to comply whenever it suits them? Would the McGahn case settle this? This all so insane.
  8. NPR's CEO was on this evening defending her. They have an email exchange with Pompeo's assistant where they tell him the interview will be about Ukraine and Iran. So the first supposed lie has been proven true already. Everyone around Trump is a despicable piece of shit. I want it to end. https://www.npr.org/2020/01/25/799584780/npr-responds-to-sec-pompeo-interview
  9. Lose your temper, say stupid shit, blame the unhinged media. Rinse and repeat. All of these people need to be banned from public life. Can we do that?
  10. So if he was so concerned about corruption on July 25, what did Zelensky do to address that concern? And why did the concern suddenly manifest itself when Zelensky was reluctant to make an announcement about a sham investigation? This is awful. GOP Senators might try to take over like they did from that lawyer lady during the Kavanaugh hearings. Let Linsdsey throw a fit and they all walk out.
  11. Y'all watching this bullshit?
  12. Yeah, I think that's right. Though I think Bolton would have given them something. With each of them--and others--it would be hard to question them without documents. I just hope Democrats continue to fight the political fight effectively. Trump corruptly abused his power for personal gain, jeopardizing national security in the process, and then covered it up. The republicans, house and Senate, became complicit in that coverup by refusing to seek the truth. Say it again and and again and again. Then let the truth keep trickling out and vote them all out in November. A democratic president and Susan Collins and McSally gone (at a minimum). Yes, please. They should also keep pushing for the documents, which I think will speak for themselves.
  13. Democratsneed to drop $100 mil on attack ads after the axquitsl. Corruption and cover up. Punish them for this shit. Don't let him claim exoneration. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  14. He's basically recused by the Chief Justice presiding constitutional direction. They did that because the VP, who would become President, has a conflict of interest. I don't know what happens with ties through. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  15. This is wrong. She's rebounding in the poll averages. She's absolutely still in this. She needs to win Iowa. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  16. I don't see Liz an incrementalist and think she would get more change done than Bernie as President. Goals are not results. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  17. If you have a whole political party--one with significant power-- become a party to the rampant crime and corruption, then nothing happens. You're going to see a "trial" where a majority of the jurors are co-conspirators. It's so insane where we are right now and we've just crept up to it like a frog in a pot of water creeping to a boil.
  18. This is what worries me so much about a Biden nomination. He's just not a good candidate and hasn't been exposed yet. Plus this Burisma shit which is like De Ja vu with Clinton emails. There's nothing there but it wont matter. Russia will trickle out out of context Hunter Biden emails and Trump will amplify. It's clear we're going to deal with Russian interference no matter what but we might want to not put up such an obviously flawed candidate. God help us if Trump is relelected.

  19. How much do you get paid to post anti Warren shit? Asking for a friend. Her campaign is nowhere near a death spiral. She's third place nationally, near the top in all early and Super Tuesday states, and rebounding. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  20. Are you getting paid to post anti Warren shit? She would have a transformative agenda and knows how to get shit done. She grew up shit poor in Oklahoma and used what turned out to be a false family story of Indian heritage as she moved up to the top of her profession, an elite among elites, to try to make sense of her identity. That is hard and I can relate. It was a mistake and she's moved on. Trump is destroying this country and she's proposing reforms that would guard against the next Trump. She has my support 100%.

  21. I saw a bloomberg ad and the first half was attacking Trump. Wonder how much of that $150 mil is against Trump. That's a little encouraging at least.
  22. No shit. Need a "RBG is in perfect health" thread to bump.
  23. They may have intentionally avoided US troops. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1214740700711051266?s=19
  24. Yes. And box Trump in...meanwhile get nukes and continue to spread influence. Iran may have played this perfectly. I'm not 100% sure Fox News doesn't talk him into bombing Iran.
