MY POSTING GUIDELINES

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Then they're no friends of mine

I say we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world, leave the real one far behind.

And we can dance.

Happy days are here again
The time is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten
Come tomorrow, let's all do it again

Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys
Girls will be girls, cute pony tails and curls
Must put an end to this stress and strife
I think I want to live the succing life

Whoever taught you how to speak your mind
Never knew you'd turn out to be an idiot
And I might be stupid
But I'ma keep it movin' like I know what I'm doin'

Never knew you'd turn out to be an idiot

I call into question Hillary being anything remotely close to 'magnetic' on her own.

We've seen that it was just Bill's magnetism being applied in a way that would probably need to be trained in a private school for gifted youngsters. This has been proven by her losing massively after telling Bill to gently caress off with his presidency winning advice.

This isn't the first time I've heard her being described as pretty charming in person. Not like Bill, who's basically a charm elemental, but much less plastic than she comes across as in public.

That doesn't say anything about her political instincts or moral character (or Bill's, for that matter).

hello fellow suck zoners, I think I'm gonna run for office as a democrat, here are my signature platforms

1. tax credits for energy efficient dishwashers
2. ethically sourced quinoa for all goverment buildings
3. a non-binding resolution saying that ICE agents are mean and we'd like them to behave better when caging babies

can someone point me to the nearest $200/hour DNC approved consultant?

1 is good, or at least a good start, but we need people to have some skin in the game so we need to limit these tax credits to dishwashers at startups.

2, I worry that no one actually knows how to pronounce quinoa or what it is so we're going to need you to fully fund and run these ads through our partner ad agency about quinoa and its advantages for data center consolidation.

3, as my colleague Doctor Modulus has indicated, is just going to drive away moderate Republicans whose votes are ours by divine right. That said, I guess people are kind of angry about this babies in cages thing...oh. Oh, I've got it. Pledge your support to a bipartisan congressional investigation into Russian infiltration of ICE and the Russian subversion of our baby prisons. Did you know that more than half of those babies we're torturing are actually Russian spies? It's really disturbing stuff, I know.

That will be ten thousand dollars.

I’m not sure I quite get the attack on Cynthia Nixon here. are we supposed to see “she’s rich” and immediately assume she’s a liar about her political beliefs? what’s that say about the rest of the rich dems who claim to care about creating opportunity?

Yes. See also Bernie Sanders having a beach house for every day of the week.

Hot take: Cynthia Nixon, by starring in the abysmal Sex And The City 2, and thus contributing to the destruction of a lucrative and beloved television and film franchise, has struck a greater blow against capitalism than most so-called socialists could dare to dream of.

Greenwald's a big ol' contrarian where anything Russia-related is concerned (I think what set this latest thing off is him saying that there's no reason to take Michael Cohen's accusations on faith, which, whatever), but he's probably no worse in this regard than, say, Joementum*.

As for Reality Winner, yeah, the Intercept hosed up there, and yeah, he bears some measure of "the buck stops here" style responsibility for that, but there's a pretty big gulf between that and the Zegermans Theory, wherein Glem personally ratted her out to the NSA out of spite and drove her to federal prison himself and has probably joined ICE just in case it turns out she can be deported.

The good ideas (and existence of ideas at all) certainly are a plus, but she's good at talking to people like they're people instead of data points, and that's the actual edge she has.
