My theory is that the republicans hate the ruskies because they're way better at the kleptocracy game

Yeah not having an opposition really fucks a small town. Like here where the Democrats killed logging like 30 years ago and now there's only Republican developer types and nobody runs against them because construction and road work is all we have left

The worst part about the recent WHITE RURALS thing is most of these counties people are screaming about voting against self interest had like 20% voter turnout

lol how many 20 year olds get TS clearance to do their jobs in the military? Reality Winner is looking at 10 years for leaking info that wasn't really all that revelatory, what else could even reasonably be accomplished?

Pretty much any Intel worker and in the air force, there's a few AFSCs that have TS clearance as a requirement so everyone gets them

I'm disappointed with the way Justin has been handling his time in office

But goddamn I'm loving the shade he's throwing at Trump.

neoliberalism is the movement that says 'things are fine, nothing needs to be fixed or changed' so im sort of surprised why people are so infatuated with them

I gotta say Trump pissed me off a whole lot less during the campaign when it was plausible he was just saying and doing whatever he thought would get the best ratings so he could engage in some 1890's style mass graft

I'd rather have an actual corrupt piece of poo poo than this pre dementia dipshit

The California prison labor system is cool because they get paid and usually certifications too

Jesus loving Christ you people are talking about hillary clinton. Prison labor chat aside, can we treat hillary chat like gun control chat?

The conversation always goes nowhere. Like gun control chat.

Not dictating, just pleading.

much like her political campaigns

Wait.

Grover was the goon who built his own house? But then went and got certified in home inspection so that he could sign off on his own work?

And he was in the military? That makes so much more sense now.

Worse: a DoD civilian

Also, remember when the liberals said they were gonna do something about housing affordability? lol.

Dont worry Bruh. Barry O bailed out the pieces of poo poo who intentionally inflated the housing market

Pay no attention to the fact that in California at least, prices are already at pre recession levels

The 6 years of 'obstructionism' pale in comparison to spending 2 years with a super majority doing approximately jack poo poo besides hosting West Wing rewatch parties and back-clapping sessions

My general point is that when your two major political party are both liberals in the actual political sense and the nation is already liberalized, you're basically voting to allow a bunch of old shitheads to live in DC on the government dollar

I guess we'll know how deep in the poo poo we are if, in a few weeks, we start hearing more earnest talk about "making data available for law enforcement" or about the government rolling their own crypto poo poo like Russia did for government agencies a year or so ago.

the real problem with that is that the password for the backdoor will likely be a passphrase, as they're more secure, you see, so adversaries will just guess "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for wh!te ch1ldren" and probably be right

e: loving lol, our idiot hell fucker publications just can't ever get away from the "horse race" narrative can they? the article refers to Russia as a "superpower" which is demonstrably false with even charitable definitions of that word, but boy howdy is the article a more interesting read if the Iron Curtain is threatening to split the west in half again. gently caress

Ironically commies like me would be extremely happy if the USSR still was a potential threat to our bourgeoisie masters but Putin is merely one of the late Soviet shitstains who took advantage of the economic downturn to start stealing everything that wasn't nailed down so uh, I guess Russia could muscle on our eastern europe NATO allies? Maybe?

Tbh the dems are historically terrible at running house races in general. Like how my district is a rural, socialist leaning/hippie one but every two years without fail they run a developer guy or a stock trader so our republican country boy wins by default

I mean my loving rep voted yes on the freedom caucus' repulsive bill (and his approval tanked with it) but I bet we'll get a Stanford professor or an ex TransAmerica executive for the 2018 race

To give you better figures:

Ossoff raised $24M locally for his campaign.

Handel raised $3.5M

Democratic National PACs spent $7.5M on ads for Ossoff, and GOP spent $18M

So Handel couldn't raise money locally and the GOP tapped the war chest to match Ossoffs personal campaign spending to barely beat a democrat in a +20 Red district

Outside money is entirely different from local campaign funds for those unfamiliar with the legalities of American politics, there are a lot of strings attached to money donated to a candidates campaign directly (Ossoffs $24M in this case). There are boundaries on where it can come from and what it can be spent on. Outside money can do what it wants

I really dont think these Ezra Klein type motherfuckers are even smart enough to consider this

Don't worry guys, the dems got your back on this healthcare thing:

https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/877965285340438528

I've heard some talk about that the dems want this poo poo bill to pass so they have better chances of getting elected in mid terms

Of course they do, dude. Meanwhile Chancellor Pelosi is trying to make sure none of the upcoming candidates campaign on UHC. That way, they can repeal the ACA repeal and pretend like its progress and not merely the R's and D's returning to the previous half-assed compromise that half-way appeases both bases once the Freedom Caucus CHUDs most likely get primary challenged and lose
