Cool stat https://twitter.com/VaughnHillyard/status/987381084206784513?s=20 Millennials are already going to be voting in much larger numbers due to us now all being in our mid to late 20s. But if the younger generation coming up votes at even a small percentage greater than usual that is absolutely huge. Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Apr 21, 2018 |

Trump needs more varied criminal employees because I spent all morning thinking he was bitching about the unfair treatment of admitted felon Michael Flynn, not soon to be admitted felon Michael Cohen.

Boon posted:This kind of reminds me of a woman who tried to recruit me to run for a Democratic seat in Virginia. She was a wealthy jewish woman from New York but who had lived in Virginia Beach for years and would host gatherings almost weekly. I met her at a Drinking Liberally meet up (sidenote: those are really loving weird with some really crazy, out-of-touch with reality people) and after talking with her for like five minutes one-on-one it became quickly apparent that she was one of the most racist people I'd ever met. Money fucks people up man. One of my close friends from high school was a generous progressive Christian all his life, now he has a job in finance and suddenly the rich are the most put-upon class in America and did you know social democracy only seems to work in Sweden but actually all their superior quality-of-life metrics are due to them not having any black people throwing off their harmonious ethnostate.

Just as bad as the Trumps, just smart enough to keep the quiet parts quiet and the loud parts loud.

marshmonkey posted:https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/987706259657785344 This makes Maddow's breathless reporting of it and linking it to a DNC lawsuit from 1972 immediately after the Watergate break-in because "they're the same, right?" an even worse look than it was in and of itself. Not saying "MSNBC is liberal Fox News" but goddamn do they milk every microscopic development for ten times more than its worth on the reg.

marshmonkey posted:https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/987706259657785344 Yeah - it seems pretty clear to me that the Dems can't use the House Intel Committee to drag people out in public and force them to admit to the GOP corruption. Instead, they're going to use this to make sure they can put Trumpist corruption and anti-Americanism on the front page throughout the mid-terms. I doubt they want to win and are more interested in dragging it out as long and as publicly as possible.

Charliegrs posted:I'm so confused. What classified material is he referring to? The Steele Dossier? The totally illegal leaks Comey is totally guilty of are the couple memos he gave to a friend to leaked them to the press after he was fired. If you remember 10,000 years ago, there response from everyone not wearing a stupid red hat was over the substance of the memos. The response of the idiot brigade was to scream and stomp their feet over how horrible a person Comey was for leaking this information. Then they slowly, over time, started claiming the memos were actually classified. The idea that Comey's leaked memos were classified has become a sacred fact on the bad brains right. There is also some speculation that the whole point of Nunes and his traitorous crew immediately leaking all the Comey memos to the press minutes after they got them was to bolster this assertion. After all the memos they leaked were totally classified and have redactions, so the two Comey leaked first had to be too! Sinteres posted:Haberman dumps on Trump all the time, but for some reason her being a Trump shill is a stupid meme that will never die, even though Trump has publicly attacked her multiple times. People largely poo poo on Haberman for being a devout believer in access journalism, a result of which is that she frequently spews forth obvious bullshit from the White House without a hint of incredulity. It's not so much that she's personally a shill for the Tangerine Mafia as she's a willing outlet for their bullshit. Verranicus posted:Why should they feel sympathy for someone they don't like??? Why is it so hard for some people to differentiate not personally feeling sympathy for the devil with denigrating those who do? Piss on all the graves you want, just don't attack other people for not pissing on graves.

Especially people who got to live long fulfilling lives and die well past their expiration date, having never seen any consequences for being such heinous ghouls in life.

It's not so much that she's personally a shill for the Tangerine Mafia as she's a willing outlet for their bullshit. I think letting the insanity of the Trump administration speak for itself is a reasonable thing to do sometimes, and it's clear enough that she's not a fan of Trump that people should stop reading that into her reluctance to call him a fascist to his face every five seconds. Someone other than partisan media having access to Trump actually is a good thing, because she won't clean up for him after he says something idiotic. If seeing the reality of the Trump administration doesn't change anyone's minds, that's the people's fault, not the reporter's.

You should be very suspicious of anyone who comes up with elaborate justifications for why everything they do that seems like being a lovely person is actually good. Maybe human decency isn't going to fix the world, but neither is being a human Calvin sticker pissing on graves. Congrats on being so edgy.

God this is a dumb discussion. I’m assuming we are all gonna have to feel the same disdain when (hopefully eons from now) Michelle passes because Obama couldn’t seem to help himself from droning people his entire presidency? I don’t care that Barbara Bush passed away, but all you fuckers wasting all this emotional energy over hating on them because some old man is sad at his wife’s passing are dumb as poo poo.

Just gonna leave this totally respectful,  filled obituary of a former president, meant totally in a way other than pissing on any graves here for y'all to enjoy...https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1994/07/he-was-a-crook/308699/ Hunter S. Thompson posted:It was all gibberish, of course. Nixon was no more a Saint than he was a Great President. He was more like Sammy Glick than Winston Churchill. He was a cheap crook and a merciless war criminal who bombed more people to death in Laos and Cambodia than the U.S. Army lost in all of World War II, and he denied it to the day of his death. When students at Kent State University, in Ohio, protested the bombing, he connived to have them attacked and slain by troops from the National Guard.
