The best part of this is that after all of Trump's incessant bashing of Sessions, there's no way of telling whether this was a pissy Trump tweet or a subversive intern tweet.

It does mean that the guy with the most control over state government is a lifetime appointee to some seat in eastern MA that he has ruled for decades. As mentioned MA is probably stuffier than the reputation would suggest, the machine politics have a lot to do with it. They are old and white and their handpicked replacements skew old and white. And their handpicked replacements typically win easily.


On that note:

quote:


In a stunning rebuke to House Speaker Robert DeLeo and his leadership team, Ways and Means Chairman Jeffrey Sanchez and Assistant Majority Leader Byron Rushing, both of Boston, lost their re-election campaigns, according to multiple Democratic sources.

Sanchez, who only took over the powerful budget-writing committee a year ago and was the highest ranking Latino lawmaker on Beacon Hill, lost to Nika Elugardo, another Jamaica Plain Democrat.

The fact that they're putting signals like this out there at a nationally televised/streamed hearing for SCOTUS, done by a potential staff member of the nominee, is important and disturbing. It's another step along the path.

The point isn't whether or not she did intentionally (probably, but we'll never know for sure). The point is that if it was intentionally, it was very specifically intended to be seen and to provoke this exact stupid loving debate as opposed to, you know, talking about all the other million more important things. Debating "was that white power or innocuous" is a pointless fruitless endeavor and is directly taking the bait they're laying out.

Yeah it seems really obvious to me someone, like her US Attorney chud husband, sent her a whatsapp to the tune of "hey you're on TV, make the OK sign with your hand right above your left knee and trigger some libs"

People would rather double down giving a Nazi the benefit of the doubt on something that seems absurd (and it is! This isn't something that you would know off hand) when proven wrong than go "whoops my bad yeah that's totally a Nazi thing, I missed it"

find the part where i said she wasn't a nazi? or anyone itt?

this whole terrible derail is between people who think it is very super serious that a racist did the racist gesture on tv and people who do not think it is particularly serious, but because this argument is Very Boring, instead people have to pretend like the racist gesture is somehow being defended in this thread of all places because folks can't read when they get criticized i guess

You accused the people pointing it out of being paranoid conspiracy theorists, using a reference to the Illuminati and the tinfoil hat emote. You very, very clearly didn't think she was doing a white supremacist gesture, you doubled down on it, and now you're trying to pretend you just thought it was irrelevant instead of nonexistent.

Just take the L, dude.
