ok this is pretty badical

one of my favorite early corbyn things was him shaming people in parliament by showing pictures of grotesque bomb-mangled bodies when they voted to continue selling bombs to saudi. it ruled because people were like "this so undecorous!!! how can he torture us like this by making us look at these ghastly photos!"

e: or maybe it was momentum people at some intra labour thing i dunno

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

As someone who has both Latino and Arab blood in him, who grew up in one of these 1/3rd GDP states, and moved to one of the liberal cities in a state on the coast, Hillary can just gently caress right off.

She is literally the personification of the disconnected rich white coastal elite who hates those drat dirty poors. She's a charactiture of the Hunger Games elities.

Not sure why we need this intermediate step if they're going to vote for most of the same poo poo. Jones is giving me some serious incrementalism blues.

Love is a tiny lion holding a donut!
I hate her so much and I regret voting for her and getting others to vote for her who told me she's so poo poo that they dont even wanna vote but I told em "BUT TRUMP! BUT TRUMP!" and she went and fuckin lost anyway cuz she cant stand going to small towns and energizing the small town southern minority vote like obama did.

Like seriously obama toured this whole poo poo area. Easily worth another 10 15 thousand votes but Hill couldnt be caught dead outside of charlotte cuz we dont matter.

My lawyer/financial advisor brother was talking about how he really wanted to know how this lawsuit was gonna go down, because the repercussions of what you can sue for and who is liable for damages is so incredibly massive. He was certain they were rightfully going to be driven out of business from the payout, and he was glad for it because of how lovely credit rating is as an institution.

I'm sure he's happy to learn the consequences will be nil. I sure am! I'm glad a business can be given special privileges with data, gently caress up, and suffer NO CONSEQUENCES.

Not just ex-marine, ex-marine prosector. So both a cop and a troop. But he did prosecute marines themselves, in Okinawa no less, for rape.

He's also once of those "personally anti-abortion, but will defend all abortion rights to my death" democrats.

So in conclusion, he is a Lamb of contrasts.

A reminder that if every dem holds firm and you get 1 or 2 republican peel offs, you could prevent pompeo from being confirmed. but instead chuckle gently caress wants to hear him out.

lmao this op ed is ridiculous.

quote:

Ridiculed as “Obama holdovers” and unable to defend policies that depart so markedly from American interests, our diplomatic corps has been hollowed out. If Mike Pompeo, the director of the C.I.A., wins confirmation as Rex Tillerson’s replacement as secretary of state, fixing this would become his responsibility. He can’t change the president, but he can make it his mission to revitalize America’s diplomatic corps and get back to trying to solve problems in the real world.

Mr. Pompeo should start by putting forward nominations for dozens of open foreign ambassadorships (including key posts like Egypt, Jordan, South Korea, Turkey and South Africa). This would give us the means of engaging officials in those countries — to promote investment, protect Americans abroad and combat terrorism. It would also send a signal that diplomats matter.

....


But after the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi in 2012, American diplomats again retreated. The partisan investigation into what happened there, which Mr. Pompeo helped politicize, served only to distract from the State Department’s real work and deter the kind of activist diplomacy needed in a rapidly changing global landscape.

More than a year of insults, chaos, falsehoods and the severing of international agreements have unsurprisingly brought about a precipitous drop in the standing and influence of the United States around the world. It may be that no Trump appointee can remedy that or attract diplomats to serve under a commander in chief who seems to hold diplomacy in contempt.

But Mr. Pompeo has to try. Even an effort at transformation could help us retain and attract diplomats, do some good around the world and restore bipartisan support for diplomacy. Dag Hammarskjold, a former secretary general of the United Nations, once noted that it “was not created to bring us to heaven but in order to save us from hell.” In these dark times, that sounds like a worthy ambition for America’s 70th secretary of state.
