my fave was the nyt article that said this and hyperlinked to an nyt article from the time

an article that was about clinton strong arming the cbc holdouts

literal high school level citing a source and saying it supports your argument and hoping no one looks at the citation

It's funny how the UK polling pretty much never moves from like Tories +6 no matter if the Labour is a poo poo neoliberal mess like it is now or when it's actually a good social democratic party led by Corbyn. It's truly a managed opposition.

weird how there's only one (1) negative article on the KHive in existence, despite NYT's Steadman acknowledging what the KHive is up to on a regular basis and the plethora of "Bernie Bro" articles to the point where every other candidate's crowds except Bernie's got to name themselves and supposedly neutral outlets go with the insult.

Some people love defending Blue Team politicians because they think they're defending some celebrity like Tiger Woods from people online someone online saying something mean about him, like their cable news knowledge of politics leaves them with "I'm sure Biden's doing all he can"

Fans of local sports teams will also be the people ragging on their own team most aggressively (especially the management) so that more introspection than political team players have.

All the Neera discourse is so disconnected from any policy. It's people who hate her being happy that she isn't getting a job she wants because of what an rear end in a top hat she is (the correct opinion) and people who love her being upset because they identify with her because they are sickos. Zero impact to anything that will happen policywise either way.

Ok, it seems like he has ethical concerns re the Morales govt? There have been, apparently, a lot of police actions during the Morales govt. That doesn't mean a popular govt didn't get coup'd though? The fact Morales' govt was able to win an election despite not being in power is clearly a sign his support isn't coerced. Yeah it's super suspect, y'all are right. The fact that all this poo poo went down after Morales pushed back on exporting lithium reads like a stereotype.


Makes me want to read more about the Morales govt prior to the political disturbances.

This year, Senate aides say, one of Dove’s most important rulings came on a question about the number of tax bills eligible for passage on a simple majority vote. On most legislation, Senate rules require 60 votes to cut off floor debate--effectively requiring a super-majority for passage. That margin gives the Democrats, who hold 50 seats, great power.

But on some legislation connected to the annual federal budget, known as “reconciliation” bills, the 60-vote threshold isn’t required. The Bush administration and GOP-led Congress have viewed such bills as key vehicles to accomplish their agenda. [fired parliamentarian] Dove, however, ruled this year there could be only one reconciliation bill, to the annoyance of Republicans.

I wouldn't say I "liked" Maddow but I did listen to the podcast version of her show until about the time she dropped that "expose" on Trump's tax returns that was a big fat nothingburger

I checked and apparently that was in March of 2017

I don't know about anyone who'd still be listening to her past, say, the Mueller Report

Supporters for certain politicians harrassing the press to the silence of those politicians should maybe open their eyes a little that maybe they aren't quite as far in the inner circle that they think they are.
