Uh, there are plenty of Dem Senators In their 50s and 60s who are intelligent, knowledgeable and effective. Harris, Wyden, Warner, to name a few. There are even a few older ones like Warren who are sharp as gently caress.

Indeed where can we possibly find a 20-year-old to replace Harris in denying transwomen medical care and defending prison overcrowding because more prisoners = more budget-balancing slaves.

On a related note, we fully support Saudi Arabia's continued war of aggression in Yemen no matter how many innocents they slaughter through illegal war crime tactics such as the blockade of food and medical supplies for civilians, and look forward to using military force to topple the Iranian government! - Donald Trump, probably

Warner is one of the most crooked senators in the country and was all too happy to make bald-faced lies about what was in the deregulation bill he authored. Citing him as a positive example for leadership or government office is a sick joke.

There is no problem that cannot be solved through sufficient application of lasers and friendship.
If we had started controlled burns sixty years ago and gotten ahead of global warming ten, we'd probably have different problems, but a lot less wildfires.

As it is, his brilliant plan is probably to let loggers clear cut all the remaining healthy trees and ignore the ones that died from drought, beetles, and fungus.

The entire west coast catches on fire every year because of climate change and the fact that we fight the fires. Naturally, the fires are supposed to start and burn out by themselves and clean up the undergrowth to allow new stuff to grow. We can't really deal with huge uncontrolled fires, so we put them out as they pop up.

What this does is build up the dry tinder on the forest floor indefinitely, until lightning or an arsonist strikes and we get massive blazes that burn so hot nothing can grow for way longer after they hit.

I think AOC should stay in the lower chamber for several election cycles, build her fundraising base, gain political experience and expand her understanding of major issues before running for a Senate seat. The stakes for Senate seats are much higher, after all.

You could literally take a random person sampled from "Americans who identify as strongly progressive" and they would be better than the vast majority of existing Democratic Senators.

edit: Basically it is dumb to treat being a politician like being an engineer or something. The #1 important thing is unequivocally ideology, and any sort of experience or expertise is a bonus once that standard has been met. Someone who is extremely skilled in pursuit of goals you disagree with (or isn't willing to use those skills towards the goals you agree with) is not particularly useful.

He's (badly) trying to parrot the logging industry's line that we wouldn't have so many forest fires if we just cut down those gosh darn forests. Which is total bullshit, but hey, more money and some stupid liberal environmentalists to blame!

It's the same logic as "if your school falls behind on standardized testing, we'll cut your budget". That is, "gently caress people we don't like (minorities, liberals) and pretend it's us helping them".

I agree it's the root cause, I just wish PG&E—and while we're at it, all the farmers in the valley—would come to their senses and realize that poo poo isn't going to get any less flammable. We have to adapt to the change or the whole state is going to burn down.

His logic is "gently caress Commiefornia, am I right my fellow chuds? Watch as I own those libs by pointing out how incompetent they are at a thing I could do easily, and also use it as an excuse to take their beloved government teat away from them so I can cut YOUR taxes again while they take one step closer into imploding into a third world hellhole just like they deserve for being the source/bastion of all that you hate."

Even before The Apprentice Trump would regularly pop in and cameo in a wide variety of movies and TV shows and was reasonably regular featured name in blue-collar society crap like entertainment news programs/magazines. Not to mention his relatively strong connection to Pro Wrestling, which I've watched since I was a child of about 10. He has a name and face that's easy to recognize and a personality that is almost a caricature. He's like a cartoon/funny pages vision of a New York Corporate Man, popped right out of a Marmaduke comic or something, and that kind of person in the realm of entertainment has always held a certain charm.

Yeah, in the years since he's become a Right Wind Media Stooge and then Nazi Dictator the sheer depths of how horrible he's always been at everything and toward everyone has come to light, but when you see him get into some stupid antic when you're 12 because your parents are watching Extra, or you see a commercial for him shilling some scam at 5am waiting for your saturday morning cartoons to start, or you see Stone Cold give him a stunner on Pay Per View, you didn't have that as a reason to be unhappy to see him, so instead you just got to smirk at the clown.

Who knew that clown was Pennywise all along?
