In which a conservative talk show host manages to get a yoga class for POC shut down because safe spaces are actually just reverse racism.quote:Directly following Dori’s heated criticism, Teresa said hate calls and death threats started pouring in every five minutes. There were all together over 200 phone calls, and hundreds and hundreds of emails filled with hostility and hate. What had just been anger generated out of a Nextdoor post spiraled into a violent, racist fervor that swept the country and made its way onto inflammatory websites like Infowars and Drudge Report. She rushed out that day to get a security system for her home though she stayed with a friend that night for safety. From that point through the weekend POC Yoga and Rainier Beach Yoga (the studio where class was held) filed several police reports. On Monday they filed an FBI report.

There are white only clubs out there, it's just that you have to be both white and rich to be in them. White people are just mad that they can't have poor white people clubs that aren't considered hateful.

Naming your studio POC Yoga is pretty stupid. They could have achieved the same objective if they simply named it something like Rainbow Nation Yoga. Would there be no outrage if someone opened a Pure White Barre?

Gee I wonder why they need a safe space. RIght Wing media really is upping the white power hate speech. It seems like there should be some way to stop this kind of obvious goading of an audience into harassment. Luigi Thirty posted:Are we moving backward on certain social issues due to loving moronic whites on the Internet who protest anything and everything from POC Yoga to the new Star Wars movie because it's White people were taught that racism was solved in the '60s (if it existed at all) so obviously anything after that is just people complaining fraudulently and trying to get free stuff.

MSNBC has a semi-long-form article up about the effects of legislative attacks which are effectively outlawing abortion in red states.quote:Until Kumar returned to Texas, the state where he grew up and which he proudly calls home, he had never heard a woman say that she preferred to undergo the procedure without anesthesia. “I want to feel this because I deserve this,” is what they tell him in Texas, he says, or “I need to feel what I'm doing and feel pain.” Another woman, he remembers, said, “I need to teach myself a lesson.” That upset him. Meanwhile, Texas has officially banned Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.

Yeah and that's why I think that even people who don't want to see him nominated should hope that it's a very close primary. A really old Jewish socialist with absolutely 0 support from Wall Street winning a few states and making it a close race would do a lot to convince future candidates that you could at least WANT to change the way the game is played. I think it's doubly important because Trump's massive popularity could encourage a future outsider GOP candidate who was actually good at politics and giving speeches. An Andy Griffith in "A Face In The Crowd" type could wreck this country even worse than someone like Romney or MCCain

The Republican leadership has scheduled a special closed meeting of the House conference this evening to discuss its October agenda and the future of the party as a whole. Boehner will probably discuss his plans to raise the debt ceiling and the issue of succession. Ryan will likely give his colleagues some indication on whether he plans to run. Be sure to watch Costa's Twitter handle tonight.

When is some of this poo poo going to be challenged by a Federal court? Didn't the Roe Vs. Wade decision explicitly state that states can't impede access to abortion to an unreasonable extent? I'd say that having less than 10 clinics being open in the entire state of Texas (all clustered in a few metropolitan areas to boot) is pretty loving unreasonable.

I appreciate the update. I wonder if the threat of a coalition Speaker is more of a threat to the Freedom Caucus than a real proposal. Though the Establishment would undoubtedly loathe giving power to the Democrats, as it would invite challenges in their home districts, the threat serves as a reminder that the Tea Party is not the only coalition in the Republican Party. If they want, Republican moderates can lock their colleagues out of guiding legislation and severely undercut their authority. As you say, there are probably not enough moderates to back such a proposal right now, but the announcement does make the stakes clear: Support the party or completely lose control.

Hillary's PAC is spent six-figures on a four state ad buy that will focus on Benghazi.quote:The “super PAC” supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton will advertise on television for the first time in the 2016 presidential campaign, running an ad for two days in the first four early nominating states before her congressional testimony Thursday on the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. I hope they go after the committee's loving throat, Trey Gowdy's feels not withstanding. Also, a WaPo poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly (59 to 29) believe that the Speaker fight is a sign of GOP dysfunction and not healthy debate.

New WSJ/NBC poll: Trump 25%, Carson 22%, Rubio 13%, everyone else in single digits. More Republicans said they would not consider voting for Bush than said they would not consider voting for Trump. I have just now begun to believe that Trump might win the nomination. I had always assumed he could win a heavily-split plurality but not a majority. However, the number of crazy people in the GOP electorate looks rather large.

Why do I get the feeling that this won't actually change anything at all? Eventually the Speaker crisis will be resolved, the Republican base will be just as unhappy with the establishment as they were, and the party will keep holding on to the House for the foreseeable future, generally being horrible to everyone who isn't on their side.

Combined with Trump's 25, that means that 47% of the Republican caucus wants a true red Republican outsider. Adding Fiorina's 7% brings it to an outright majority. I think the establishment is in trouble if those three are only picking up each other's "second choice" options. EDIT: Carson is 44% of first/second choice votes. Trump is 39%. That's a pretty big number for an establishment figure like Rubio to surmount.
