Fister Roboto posted:Bernie picking a moderate VP would be a terrible idea considering the non-zero chance that he could die in office, and it could potentially embolden moderate Dem congressmen to bilaterally impeach and remove him for whatever bullshit the Republicans cook up. yeah see here's the thing, winning the election is the most important priority right now, and Bernie selecting a more moderate/establishment VP (depending on who they are) would be the best and most visible way Sanders can get the moderate vote on board. You don't like them, I don't like them, but their votes are going to be extremely important for keeping the House, winning the Senate, and beating Trump—and if that means selecting someone who's power in office is extremely limited, but can be used to get more voters on board, then so be it.

I hope Hopester goes to prison for something. I remember reading an article about her departure from her White House "job" the first time. She was packaging up cookies and writing pithy poo poo like "Believe in Love" on the wrappers in silver sharpie. Even among Trump staffers she looks like a loving dumbass with no self-awareness. Also she hosed Corey Lewandowski and Rob "Smackaho" Porter, both were extramarital affairs.

Yea, I don't see an issue with a more moderate VP pick. Progressives are excited because bernman gets the nom and hopefully wins, moderates can hope that bernie ends up dying, and if the Dems  an impeachment for Bernie I can finally realize this world is well and truly hosed and drink myself into an early grave.

It's going to be important because although Bernie is in excellent health for a 78 year old man every single pundit is going to be harping on the risk of him dying in office or otherwise not doing a second term.

Defenestrategy posted:moderates can hope that bernie ends up dying, they can do more than hope, and i would want an anti-imperialist president to have an even-more-anti-imperialist vice president. also i do not trust the people who would even consider staying home in November rather than voting for Bernie to be swayed by a vp pick, which is why i hope he will make the principled choice of declaring Leonard Peltier as his running mate.

He needs to pick up a terrifying commie elemental. He needs to have a lab grown terminally online monster of a left winger who WOULD redistribute wealth by force given the reigns. I'm talking a zombie Che Guavera here. Trump has Pence, an option so horrific it would provide a plausible path to The Purge and Handmaidens Tale. That has kept 45 safe from impeachment, illhealth, and assassination all this time. Make it so much worse to Epstein him than to leave him be. Insurance in succession.

Barr is just annoyed by the incompetence. He's totally down with being a fascist enforcer, it's just difficult when his leader doesn't stick to the plausible deniability cover story and bullhorns "I MEANT TO poo poo MYSELF" on Twitter.

I’m still baffled trumps twitter has never been hacked, especially as a state actor could cause considerable damage by announcing he was shuttering the stock market or cancelling an election. Wonder if Twitter has a full time team just monitoring log in attempts.

GoGoGadget posted:Not gonna happen. The Mooch has been vocal about being anti-Trump on Twitter since the firing. I'm kinda amazed The Mooch ever wound up as the WH Communications director, as he was very anti-Trump right until he signed on to some Trump financial poo poo (probably lookin for that grift, rich people always do). Got in, quickly decided he really loving hated everyone there/not worth the cash, and went off on a bunch of staffers in a meeting. Got canned, immediately went back to anti-Trump. I don't think he'd come back to Trump, as he seems to have made his choice that no matter the chance for money, being associated with Trump is too much for him to deal with.

I was pretty surprised to read the headline because I can't imagine anyone in the country that would feel sympathetic to this turd other than failed never-trumpers? I mean he's an attorney general who carries water for a criminal president and who took the job knowing this to be the situation.

Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) Tweeted: @RealPCDonaldT Are you opposed to Nuremberg convictions of Nazi speechwriters on the ground that they churned out propaganda to justify aggressive wars, or do you believe that Americans should be exempt from the laws imposed on others? https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1227941068286681089?s=20 “Aggressive Wars,” is not how I’d describe Nazi policy amd actions.

mlmp08 posted:Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) Tweeted: The war in Iraq wasn't a crime because it was aggressive, it was a crime because it was unjustified in the first place and was managed in a way that resulted in unnecessary suffering for civilians once it got going. Frum was a senior communications official for the administration when they were ginning up support from the war, including their organized campaign to knowingly deceive Americans and the international community about the justification for the war. If that's not material support for illegal activity, what is? Glenn Greenwald is a jackass most of the time, but he has a point about senior Bush officials never having been held accountable.

There's a great Reply All podcast 3 episode series on Alabama's political structure. Basically it's the old power player backroom deals going on, and the ADC will say anything if paid enough. Doug Jones (D-Alabama) won largely *without* their backing, and are in the stages of putting together something new. We'll see what the NAACP will have to say about the ADC. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/llhd33 Anyway, young PoC are seeing the compromises older generations of power brokers made, and I think it'll take a lot of work to suppress them.
