It would not surprise me if he did leak it to a reporter, or at the very least a few reporters had copies of it and he said "If XYZ thing happens, feel free to report on it all you want"

Maybe a Democrat who's managed to win in North Dakota knows more about her constituency than you do. It sucks, but the Senate is super rigged by geography for the Republicans, so we have to put up with lovely red state Democrats or just accept that Democrats will never hold a majority again. Republicans can afford to blow easy seats in a way that Democrats can't.

I guess I’m just curious as to what makes you believe she did this with a heavy heart, rather than out of actual ideological agreement with rectal feeding? Just seems like a lot of analysis being pulled from asses to cover for an rear end who voted for putting food in asses.

I have lived in a midwestern ag state my entire life and if you deliver the pork and suck down some tenderloins at enough events (ie show you are One Of Us) you pretty much got ‘er.

It’s hilarious to think people think this is about some kind of triangulation rather than just ideological agreement. Elections don’t swing on votes like this, in years like this one, and the credulity on display here is just...drat.

Even if she did it because she wanted to, she's still better than her replacement would be. Ultimately her motivation doesn't matter.

So just so I’m clear on this the operating theory at work in this thread is that ND voters give a gently caress about Pompeo or are open to a political argument that Heitkamp not voting for him means she should lose?

That crucial segment of foreign policy hawks in ND?

Lot of dumb poo poo to avoid just admitting she’s ideologically closer to him than she is any of us, except maybe not I guess :agesilaus:

Let me try to sum up the operating theory at work in this thread for you:

Voting for Pompeo Bad, Electing Cramer Worse

Multiple people have advocated primaries. Zero people have sung Pompeo's praises. There was a particularly asinine assertion that the best way to punish Heitkamp for her vote was to withhold money from her campaign against Cramer, because costing her the election and losing her seat would be a warning to Bad Dems everywhere.

We've now reached the stage where we're intentionally misreading "Heitkamp is better than Kevin Cramer" as a ringing endorsement of Heitkamp and all of her votes because.... we have to fill our quota in a bizarre neoKeynesian strawman construction/demolition experiment?

In the guide to getting dumped, this guy helped me realize that with time it does get better. And yeah, he did get his custom title.
They are pushing a narrative across social media to their people that Comey is a leaker and not to be trusted. They are saying that the memos prove that the FBI is part of a Clinton conspiracy. They will say that Trump is a "loyal" boss and was just trying to give Flynn a soft landing and didn't fully understand everything at the time being so new and inexperienced in the ways of "slick lyin" Washington elites. Now is where they will attack back and claim they are surrounded by judas characters and people out to "get you" and the truly scary parts can begin.

Or they will just keep on like this for years?

I'm happy they made this choice, despite the last minute feint from Gov. Ducey trying to pit teachers against... well... everyone, by promising them a raise but only if paid for by cutting university funding, medicaid, disability, and more.

I’m really enjoying Nunes chaos dunking on his own goal here. I’m wondering how Fox will read between the facts though and explain how this totally proves trump did nothing wrong.

Maybe the republicans will claim the memos were written on Opposite Day, so therefore the bad parts are actually good and the good parts are bad. And it’s aaaaaaall bad parts.

While hilarious I am sad to report that I no longer Peelieve. If trump really was talking in his confused and weird as rambley "jigsaw puzzle" way he's far more likely to have been telling the truth. He's nowhere near clever enough to talk in such a confusing way while maintaining a consistent narrative and idea and he's clearly not crazy enough to be crazy rambling.

So no, I no longer Peelieve, trump simply is not clever enough to communicate a consistent idea in such a hard to construct way. trump lying is "I'M 80 FEET TALL" and not a puzzle of confusing collection of half sentences coagulating into a final web of lies and as confusing a metaphor as a duck's back in a China shop.

But it is fun as gently caress that it bothers him so loving much that I'm going to scream "I PEELIEVE" as loud as I loving can until I get in line to piss on his grave.
