Best part of that thread is all the backfooted chuds going "Well he said it before he was President! That doesn't count!" If you're explaining, you're losing, guys.

Monaghan posted:I still don't get why the hell she didn't retire when Obama was in charge and the democrats still had the senate. You try letting go of the most influential job a passionate lawyer can have. She’s not the first liberal justice to have pushed her tenure too far either. Brennan and Thurgood Marshall argaubly should have quit during the Carter years but they didn’t.

I'm really happy about this because I was hoping impeach the motherfucker wasn't going to become like a never talked about albatross around the neck sort of thing. I think this is so important that AOC is taking this stance not just for all the reasons already talked about in the thread but because it needs to be continually drilled into folks' heads forever what a load of bullshit the concept of decorum is on every level.

But I guess being rich and having access to the best care probably helps. With his diet and hatred of exercise it's a miracle he's made it as far as he has. But some people are like that. My grandma lived into her late 70s and she smoked a lot and also drank quite a bit for like 90% of her life.

Unpaid internships are illegal unless the intern is getting an educational experience of the industry they are interning in, and they aren't displacing a paid position, or doing a job that normally a paid person would be performing. The problem is, this poo poo is basically never enforced.

(although, of course, done right in the long term an internship program should be profitable - but that's because you're training your future employees at an up-front cost)

This is why I felt such joy and relief when she won her race. One of the most important goals of the progressive left is just getting actual progressive ideas injected into the discussion, and we *had* to win some races in the 2018 cycle to do that.

At first I thought changing the emphasis of "border security" from "the wall" was a good indication of the GOP settling on some compromise. (We've always discussed the wall in terms of border security, but it seemed like the GOP wanted to talk about immigration through border security. But even that was too nuanced for Trump and the GOP finally settled on a more tangible talking point like "the wall" which Trump is now unfortunately fixated on.) But now I wonder if they are shifting the narrative again to justify their pull of rank for declaring a state of emergency.
