This thread/americans/people in general really really want every country/ethnic group/side in a war to be either a good guy or a bad guy and not admit stuff is complicated and lots of stuff is happening at once with lots of groups and subgroups. That comes up a ton, whenever this thread talks about any group. Everyone is a hive mind, everyone is doing one thing only and that one thing is either perfectly good or perfectly evil in every way at all times.

The ability of some people to act like cartoonish 1920s silent movie villains still astounds me. I don't know why. I should be too old to be surprised by things anymore.

So theory about Schumer's surprising spine: Pelosi sat him down and said "hey look at the ratings for our new fierce delegates, especially when they stand up to the republicans. Mueller is going to savage trump and us taking a stand while the republicans try to bail water is going to make all sorts of hay. Get to it."

interesting idea on how dems are going to handle debates if there's a ton of nominees in 2020: split debates into two debates, assign candidates randomly (via public draw, so nobody can claim it's rigged) rather than a clown car of people https://twitter.com/rubycramer/status/1075798250672832512

I loving knew that President Deals would watch him some Fox News and see them ranting about how he's getting played, go chat with some of the nutjobs he hangs with, and decide to sink the whole thing. loving knew it. It is however still hilarious.

Your worst case scenario is really just longer lines and a shittier experience overall. Flights aren't going to be cancelled or anything, but potentially expect to waste a lot more time getting there and back.

Yeah this was clear from the outrage after he lied about the protest outside his house. These media people honestly sympathize with Tucker and see him as a peer regardless of his outspoken white supremacy. They definitely are more concerned with the tiny chance he could lose his livelyhood than they are with him spreading his racist message which won't really affect them.

His base isn’t big enough and he is hated by most people and has burned a gently caress ton of bridges.
