Also, it's important to realize that her position is really strong which gives her a natural advantage against all the horrible failpeople who keep trying to argue with her. "I think people should have health care and an education and a right to happy lives" is, like, really easy to defend because whenever people attack her she can just go "look, you're a horrible murderer who wants people to die, and I'm not." Benefits of being an actual leftist

Mustached Demon posted:I wouldn't even go that far. She has empathy--something these chuckle fucks lack. Or said another way She's actually advocating for real positions held by a human being Almost everyone else in the political arena is some variety or other of money stooge and thus reflexively insincere. AoC has sincerity and knows how to weaponize it. Somewhat poignantly, Trump has the same ability, he's just sincerely horrible and spiteful instead of sincerely empathetic.

nine-gear crow posted:The Vice President is literally just the Backup President in case anything happens to the guy at the top. In theory they should basically be as similar as possible to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of government should the unthinkable happen. But because the unthinkable has become increasingly unlikely as time has progressed, the political norm has become to pick a Veep that contrasts and enhanced the POTUS in various ways because there's essentially a 0% chance that they will ever need to become President themselves. With the expansion of the bueracracy, it is beinifical to have the VP be someone you can trust with running various taskforces and delegating things to. Gore, Cheney and Biden all did a hell of a lot more work than previous VPs did.

There's possibility is that the accuser had nothing to do with Avenatti and is just claiming to be his live-in girlfriend and it's all just a con by the Wohls. It should be real easy to prove a relationship in this day and age with social media. Just so I'm not a complete fool, I know Avenatti had a presser when he posted bail but haven't bothered to watch. Has he confirmed that it was his girlfriend or is that from the police report?

I know we are all use to it but "Wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that, wouldn't it have been nice?" Trump asked. "You know, living - think of this - living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don't know, I've seen nicer. But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there." This is a quote from the loving president. I don't know. I think it's a good thing to have moments these days that make you go what the gently caress? I don't want this to feel normal.

I think it's at least as likely he heard it from a Fox News talking head. In all honesty I bet he pays a lot more attention to Fox pundits than he does his classified intelligence briefings.
