That deal was loving hilarious in the way that anything that causes McConnell and Ryan pain is, but it wasn't any sort of sign that Trump's anything but the spiteful idiot we already knew he was.

the funny thing is you could just not read it but some people here are masochistic and probably will hate-read it and yell at the clouds. I doubt many people give a poo poo about her book, but there's some weird acknowledgement to it and it just makes her whining heard in this particular bubble

I'm just amazed she's stupid enough to start taking potshots at people.

anyway, one mistake that some

leftists appear to be commonly making is this belief that political strategy should remain the same year after year. This is the type of thinking that brought you the liberal theory of an end of history

classical Marxism wasn't just about the moral necessity of workers owning the means of production, it was also a strategic statement that industrial workers' relation to industrial production gave them political power were they to figure out how to embrace it.

given the shift of the economy to retail, workers' ability to seize power has been greatly weakened

however, given the shift to just in time manufacturing and stocking, transportation workers are the linchpin of the economy, and where they to have class consciousness, Great things could happen. Which is of course, the reason why there is such a great push towards automation and self driving cars on behalf of capital

Greatly disagree with your thoughts regarding Sander's winning being a blow to leftism (perhaps because I'm only a Scandinavian socialist myself probably, I dunno) but these were good thoughts at least.

i don't plan on reading her book but i do like watching her lash out at everyone and further poison her own personal brand so that when she runs in 2020 she doesn't even make it to iowa before she has to drop out

i've already resigned to 8 years of trump and a reagan-esque cult of personality where dems and reps race each other to the right and be the most trumplike candidate but watching clinton self-immolate is a nice side dish at least

It's a sign that he doesn't have any sort of attention span or long term strategy besides acting like impulsive todder.

Titanic Captain Pelosi and Sneaky Chuck just managed to flatter and get on his good side in order to score the 3 month debt ceiling deal.

there's something a bit deeper going on here i feel

in that trump thinks (correctly) that ryan and mcconnell look down on him as a rube, while schumer has known trump for a lot longer in a friendly way and can "speak new york", which given trump's smooth brain is probably a much bigger factor in who he likes and what he'll do for them than it should be

the personal dynamics here def. favor the democrats, especially since after seven months of relentless scorn earned from following the republican plan donny is getting endless pats on the head for doing what the democrats wanted to do. trump's a deeply broken person who gets high af on adulation so that's a big deal

probably the ol' Trumpy flaw in which he has a need to take out revenge on people for perceived slights.


Ryan/Corrupt Old Turtle disrespected Trump and now he taking revenge on them by going along with Sneaky Chuck's senate dem plan.

One the one hand, beltway journos are poisoning our minds with their godawful takes.

On the other, Trump is dumb and gullible enough to start believing he's an independent if enough people tell him he is. :shrug:
