What matters most to me is that he's remembered broadly as a genuine war criminal, a truly shameful and monstrous historical figure.

In other words, a Nazi.

If any of y’all are interested in what Trump supporters think of these texts, here’s a thread on Reddit just asking them to read the texts and post what they think.

It’s mostly people denying objective reality, claiming the texts might not be real, saying it’s not weird for an “attorney to investigate” someone, or saying Yovanovich was corrupt and deserved it.

Lots of people saying “I’ve entertained all the crazy Democrat theories about Russia and ukraine but this is too crazy.”

It’s scary because it’s just a pure example of two groups literally unable to engage on any common or shared factual basis.

Cowards at the least. There are quite a few "business" and hawkish Republicans who hate his foreign policy and dumb tariffs. The key is Trump is still wildly popular among GOP voters so standing up to him means you get your rear end primaried. There are plenty of sycophants but lots that just want reelected

Hahaha gently caress Susan Collins. Is there any way she can actually win in November?

Dapper_Swindler posted:

unless the GOP suddenly legit grows in popularity in her state and nationally. probably not.

This isn’t true and nobody should be resting on any laurels wrt that race or really any of the others where high profile GOP monsters have recently come out looking more vulnerable than previously thought. The Maine projections are very much in toss-up/nobody knows world with some polls having Gideon ahead and others showing Collins with a majority of support.

Couple that with the semi trucks of money the McConnell pacs have been driving up to Maine recently and it’s anybody’s guess.

Best thing to do is donate to Sarah Gideon and phone bank/volunteer for her if you can. Phonebanking is super easy nowadays in the smartphone era, and many campaigns/orgs have apps that will basically automate the process for you so you just sit on your rear end at home.

Anybody who lives in the Northeast and wants to take a jaunt up to Maine this spring/summer should do it. Mainers are the most “gotta meet them in person and talk face to face” voters I know.

Majorian posted:

Tbh I'm more mad at people who continue, to this day, to insist that she's a principled moderate.

I know out-of-the-loop Mainers who think/thought like that. One of them is now an active Bernie volunteer. It really helps if you show them her voting record and that it’s like 94% in line with Trump’s agenda. A lot of people there are super unplugged but not really conservative.

As great as this is, it really sucks to see Warren use it to basically lean into the ongoing ‘Bernie=sexism’ push. I just can’t see this tweet outside of the context of the debate and her closing statements and all that.

Everything about this feels slimy as gently caress. CNN claiming it "found" the audio is dumb as hell, it was their own loving debate, and it was over, yet the mics were still hot. Warren's question is such a BS question, and it's like you know he's calling you a liar, and your record shows you are, and a coward as well (A/the most recent Chapo goes into detail on her bullshit). Bernie actually has the best response of saying "Not here," because the mics are there, and I kinda think Warren/CNN knew they were on so they could have this poo poo to throw in his face.

It's loving 2016 all over again, DNC trying to throw the best candidate under the bus. Warren is Clinton 2.0, but worse, cause at least Clinton seems smart or at least more politically savvy at this point.

quote:

Virginia Union University has revoked permission for a group that planned to honor President Donald Trump at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day ceremony.

A flyer distributed Tuesday listed Trump, along with son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, as honorees at Urban Revitalization Coalition’s planned Jan. 20 event at the Richmond university. (There was no indication that Trump was to attend.) The invitation-only event would have a $30,000 cash giveaway, according to the flyer.

Virginia Union, however, said Tuesday afternoon that it told the group, which is not affiliated with the university, that it “will not be permitted” to hold the event at the university, adding that the school wasn’t part of the planning and wasn’t told who would be participating.

It's worse than this in my opinion. Warren getting the nomination, then losing is all the proof the dem leadership would need to say "progressivism is dead, centrism forever", giving them and their supporters an out whenever someone suggests progressive people or policies.

Even ignoring the democratic primary part of this the whole thing shows that CNN is going to lean into the "Politics as Reality TV" bullshit and will do it hard. They are far more interested in stoking drama than being a news source and will write the script themselves to make sure they get to "break" the stories.

It reminds me of what ESPN does during the off season where one of their talking heads will say a thing Monday evening, they will ask a panel about that quote Tuesday morning, have interviews on the ESPNews program that afternoon about "the thing everyone is talking about", and by the end of the week they've built up a single quote that they themselves made up into something that fills multiple 30 minute specials.
