I’ve been skeptical of Khanna because he represents Silicon Valley but challenging the foreign policy consensus as a sitting politician is actually pretty cool.

yes, saudi arabia should also be sanctioned, i agree

the general structure of the sanctions to date (unless I'm missing some new ones!) was somehow actually good and smart, targeting the rich kleptocratic assholes and making it specifically harder for them to sell off national assets to line their own pockets

If Donald Trump tried to show up at the House and give his SOTU over the wishes of Nancy Pelosi it would end with all the gravitas and drama of that time the security guard insisted that I use the loading dock entrance on the side to bring in my pull cart of bagels even though I could easily fit through the door and goddamn it I work here it's just some loving bagels I'm not a delivery man I'm already here man WHAT THE gently caress

REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?

Quite aside from anything else, I object very strongly to framing what's going on in Venezuela as "the Trump administration's right wing coup" as the quoted tweet does absent any evidence that the administration is astroturfing or motivating the protests there, rather than just vocally supporting them.

Also yes gently caress the Saudi government, but the U.S. government as presently constituted won't ever go against the Saudis unless they start claiming to be socialists.

it took days from the other letter to have a proper response and she immediately released a letter not even an hour after the response, they were expecting optics to be at play for a little bit longer and to control a narrative and they've got nothing because they got loving gut punched by an actual politician

No. The constitutional rules around the SOTU are pretty vague and half-assed and you could argue that the fact that he's given 2 (2? Did he give one in 17?) already in his term is good enough.

Not really, no. "From time to time" is vague enough for him to get away with canceling it outright this year.

Also lol at the notion that we don't have to care about certain levels of discrimination. Jeez, quit whining about the public intimidation and discrimination, minorities and LGBT community, it's only weirdos, WE DONT CARE

The scumfucks who advocate for corrective rape and torture of queer people are presently in power. They have every federally funded reformatory with mass graves still undiscovered, every practicing crank who rejects science to serve their bigotry, every "religious counselor" who works for free, and camps in the desert and mountain back-country of this evil nation which are known only to their victims and the evil faiths that founded them, as well as various "volunteer programs" for queer chuds to go and pay monthly to have themselves tortured in the vain hope that it will change their nature.

The same networks of patronage that allow wealthy Christians to have victims funnelled to them are the same ones receiving monthly payments to torture queer youth from those who pretend being queer is a mental illness.

That you are capable of ignoring this is made possible by professional pharisees who do things like dance with Mr. Faith-Based Initiatives.

It's cool we're at the point where we are already blaming leftists for a loss of a candidate that hasn't even made it through the primaries yet. If the Bros are so powerful they can sink politicians by staying home maybe candidates need to cater to them somewhat since that's the point of running a campaign.

The shitlib knows that its politics harm those of us that can't settle for the poison it calls "good enough", and so it necessarily categorizes us as enemies in preparation for when it finally submits to Trump.

This was more or less inevitable. If you want to build a movement then you have to make sure the future members are protected and encouraged. Since the MAGA movement is based on racist resentment of non-whites (white supremacy), then they need to circle the wagons. Otherwise, children might be discouraged from becoming fully racist voters. They also have to defend the ability for members of their movement to wear their uniform. Wearing the MAGA hat is a demonstration of solidarity between racists, and is necessary to grow or at least maintain their base. Since in this case it's easy to inject enough doubt it's clear that they need to circle the wagons.

Yeah, Trumpismo was going this way from the start and it remains to be seen whether they'll be punished for their first lynchings. I think the school shooters, church bombers and family murderers of the right have primed law enforcement to arrest the MAGAtts when they begin organized attacks but if Trump stays in power the redhats will be placed under DHS as a police force.

Which is how you end up with corporate sponsored Democrats indistinguishable from moderate Republicans demanding votes and loyalty from people they won't serve the interests of instead of earning them.

We're in the majority! We can just repair the damage Republicans have done to our lovely managed democracy with mild reforms and hold steady until the GOP stops existing. Hell, if we go for proportional representation we don't even have to keep them from rigging elections, we can just drown the fuckers in a sea of the people!

Article II Section 3 Clause 1 posted:

shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.

The “shall” makes it compulsory. The “time to time” makes the timing up to the President. It’s really poorly written.

Edit: can’t wait for some textualist morons to challenge the first female president on the grounds that the constitution assumes the president will be a man.
