Wilson seems like he knows nothing about Sarasota because it isn't remotely the HARDCORE DEEP TRUMP COUNTRY like he's claiming - it was R+12 when Trump got elected, compared to Panhandle counties like Santa Rosa/Okaloosa/Walton that went 50+ in favor of Trump. That it's possible to flip districts like this is great for Democrats, but there's no need to go crazy.

It's pretty loving crazy a district with Sarasota in it flipped. I grew up in Venice.

Sarasota hired Laffer, that loving Laffer to consult for its development plan. It's not Trump country in the rural poo poo kicking + 50 sense. It's Trump country in the upper middle class, upper class, very white old person sense. It's an area with actual population too.

It's a BFD deal. This is a place where "closet Democrats" was a phrase I heard growing up.

Ehhhh, I doubt there's a conspiracy, but they have been hiring awful right-wing fuckwads for a couple decades now, and they've gotten particularly bad over the past few years. I think that's more evidence of cowardice on the part of the bosses, though. As it turns out, hiring people like Bill Kristol, Ross Douthat, David Brooks, and Bret Stephens didn't cause the right to stop screaming "LIBERAL MEDIA! LIBERAL MEDIA!" like they hoped it would.

I'm sure it will work for MSNBC though.:allears:

In the past 10 years, the only people I've encountered who use the term "human being" ironically or otherwise have been people with a vested interest in rolling back LGBT rights or at least hurting LGBT people in some way, and never the inverse. Milo Yiannopolis chief among them. Thank god this woman didn't get the chance to do any real damage with her 15 seconds of fame, but gently caress the New York Times regardless.

The Moscow Times, February 8'th posted:

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has published a video investigation claiming that Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska acted as a messenger between U.S. President Donald Trump’s ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort and a top Kremlin foreign policy official.

Manafort, who served as Trump’s campaign chief in mid-2016, is suspected of having offered private briefings on the Trump campaign in an email to metals tycoon Deripaska. The offer was seen in Washington as evidence of Russia’s suspected interference in the U.S. presidential elections which saw Trump win the White House.

In his investigation released on Thursday, Navalny said he found the trail in a video posted by a self-described "sex huntress" on social media depicting Deripaska and Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko aboard a yacht in August 2016.

Navalny’s investigation alleges that the footage of Deripaska’s yacht meeting with Prikhodko, who served as a foreign policy advisor to Russian leaders for more than two decades, proves the oligarch’s role as a conduit between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

"[It’s] because these briefings were actually for Putin, the Kremlin, the Federal Security Service," Navalny says in the video, without providing further evidence. The video had gathered some 470,000 views by Thursday afternoon.

Deripaska in an Instagram post on Friday denied the allegations and called them part of a slander campaign against him. In an emailed statement to the media, a spokesman for Deripaska denied the findings of Navalny's investigation, describing it as "scandalous and mendacious assumptions driven by sensationalism."

"We totally refute these outrageous false allegations in the strongest possible way,” the statement said.

Russia’s Central Elections Committee has barred Navalny from running in next month’s presidential elections, in which Putin is widely expected to win his fourth term.

I’d like to form an independent PAC called Money For Aramis. My PAC supports giving everybody a puppy. The treasurer says we have $1,000,000 on hand, but for now I’m just gonna donate a measly $250,000 to you.

Now I’m not telling you how to spend the money, but just know that I have an additional $750,000 in the bank and everybody loves puppies and I project being able to collect another $10,000,000 from puppy lovers around the world who support giving everyone a puppy.

Imagine all the puppies you could get with this money. We could even use “some” of it to advertise on TV that you’ll buy everyone a puppy if they vote for you.
