They inherit their wealth, then when they gently caress it up because they're so awful, they get bailed out by the Russians for pennies on the dollar just so they can keep saying they're rich. That's how we got here in the first place.

Tester is a weird case. He's a big square-jawed farmer who gives off a tough guy vibe, and he picks his votes carefully. He's one of the first guys to grab a hall pass when the Dems don't need him (but he did vote for the ACA when the Dems had to have his vote). Barely won in 2006 during that big anti-GWB midterm wave, hung on by 3 points during Obama's re-election, and he looks like he might get lucky again in 2018 with another wave.

It seems a lot of Rocky Mountain Dems are lucky fuckers. Bennet's a similar case in Colorado, got appointed after Salazar stepped into an Obama appointment and got challenged by Ken Buck (HFC crazy) in 2010 by the skin of his teeth. Then last year the republicans went off the reservation and nominated a total unknown who had a LOT of baggage and Bennet won again. The luck will end but it's crazy seeing how lucky that motherfucker is, especially for how milquetoast and just unappealing he is.

I'm curious how these anti-MSM rants are still playing? I read a headline the other day (yesterday? time has become meaningless) that said that basically that was the Republicans' platform in 2018. It seems like that was a lot of what brought Trump into office, but I'm curious if it's become 'boy cries wolfish'.

Chicken little is a better analogy. At the end of the boy who cried wolf, there's a wolf. Chicken little was just complaining to complain and discredit yourself until you put your faith in the only person willing to listen but they eat you.

hmm. so the GOP is either placating the tea hadists or giving into them. also what was holders investigation into Uber. i know they are loving terrible but i havent heard details.

Basically, after a high ranking female dev left the company and posted a long blog post about how sexist the company is, Uber took a lot of heat so they decided to hire Eric Holder and a couple other former prosecutors to go through the company and audit it. It turns out that shockingly, it was a boys club filled with lots of discrimination and just a cesspool for anyone that wasn't male. I think their CTO has an open investigation for sexual harassment from his time at Google. The CEO sent out an incredibly misogynistic email before a company party. Just the definition of "brogrammer culture" and now they basically have no C level employees left after the CEO today decided to "take a leave of absence."

quote:

Lobbyist for Russian interests says he attended dinners hosted by Sessions
An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.

“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.

Asked whether Sessions was unfamiliar with Burt’s role as a lobbyist for Russian interests – a fact that is disclosed in public records – or had any reason to be confused about the issue, Burt told the Guardian that he did not know.

Several media reports published before Trump’s election in November noted that Burt advised then candidate Trump on his first major foreign policy speech, a role that brought him into contact with Sessions personally.

I realize it's massively too early to predict anything about 2020, especially with the speed the news goes this day, but the Senate map is very, very red. 22 Republicans vs 11 Democrats up for re-election. Obviously nobody's said anything about their intentions yet, but I'd expect a few to retire (Inhofe, Roberts). How many of those seats can actually be considered realistic pickups....eh, who knows at this point.



Colorado could be an easy pickup if the Dems run someone decent. Gardner is loving trash and I hope he gets the boot but who loving knows, they've elected Michael Bennet twice.

It's becoming more and more unlikely that will happen. A bunch of team owners have issued statements that their players' free expression will be protected by them. For instance, Patriots' CEO and chairman Robert Kraft, a close friend to Trump, has stated that he will back his players over the President.
https://twitter.com/yashar/status/911929862117568512

I think a lot of them realize if they fire one player, they're gonna have massive defections and possibly end up w/o a team. The interesting thing will be who doesn't say anything because you most likely won't get statements of non-support for players.
