A sample from MRA devos is meeting

National Coalition of Men

quote:

Crouch has argued that women are too rarely held responsible for domestic violence they “instigate.” “I’m not saying he’s a good guy,” Crouch said in 2014 of football player Ray Rice, who knocked out his then-girlfriend in an elevator. “But if she hadn’t aggravated him, she wouldn’t have been hit. They would say that’s blaming the victim. But I don’t buy it.” He also claimed that “if a little person without a penis instigates, she will never be accountable for her actions” and wondered why the NFL can’t “have a week, or just one day, where they celebrate men?” as when the league wears pink jerseys for breast cancer awareness.

SAVE


quote:

SAVE lobbies against domestic violence protections, claims that the “leading reason” for abuse is “female initiation of partner violence,” and calls falsely accused perpetrators the “true victims of abuse.”


FACE


quote:

And then there’s FACE, which claims that colleges are expelling innocent students “with increasing frequency” due to made-up accusations. “If the school investigators feel that there is even a slight chance that your accuser might be telling the truth, you will almost certainly be suspended or expelled,” the organization’s site says. “If your accuser had any alcohol at all, you will most likely be expelled.”

Keep an eye out for this later today.

Thinking is Senator Heller follows Governor Sandoval's lead so if they flip Sandoval they get Heller's vote back.

Should this worry us? It's a bit ominous that someone who was a pretty hard no has flipped to 'undecided', but maybe not.

From that article:

quote:

Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has been lobbied by Akhmetshin, told CNN earlier this year that the lobbyist is someone with "an ulterior motive" who is "involved with people who've got an agenda" and has "international connections to different groups in Russia." When asked if he thought Akhmetshin was connected to the Russian security services, Rohrabacher said: "I would certainly not rule that out."
So if Rohrbacher gets his marching orders from Putin as suspected by none other than Paul Ryan, does this mean Putin's cutting Trump loose after his unproductive two hour G20 meeting?

Well, it looked fairly impossible for the House to push a bill through, and they eventually did. The longer this takes, the less likely it probably is for them to get repeal done, but I've learned never to underestimate their capacity for spite and evil.

Notice that they said "prematurely hit the send button".
That doesn't mean they accidentally hit the button.
It could mean that they "thought the form was complete", and then prematurely sent it.

But saying "hit the send button" makes it sound more like a physical mistake, rather than "prematurely sent it"

Its not technically a lie, but its a way to make it sound different from what it is.

Good point.

The alternative is that either Jr signed " I swear under penalty of perjury that this form is true and complete" boxes on forms known to be incomplete OR someone forged his signature because afaik there is no way to appoint a representative that can sign the SF-86 for you.

Well, but there aren't very many Republican House members from purple districts these days. Sandoval and Heller represent a very purple state. They're way more vulnerable to a backlash from this vote than any Rep. I'm not saying they necessarily won't flip, but right now I'm thinking it's unlikely.

No single Republican has the bravery to be the guy or gal who stopped Obamacare repeal. That's the dynamic that played out in the House and it's the dynamic that will play out in the Senate. Combine that with Josh Marshall's Iron Law of Republican Politics ("The moderates always cave") and that's how the Freedom Caucus gets to decide who gets healthcare.
