I’m just kind of tired, specially since was not acting in a trolling and dickish way like the other two usual users with hot takes and self admited childish nihilism. Kind of disheartening to hear that the pushback just make you going for hard again for tribial politics even if I don’t disagree with your choice.

You were sort of being a straight up dick though. Pretty much still being a passive aggressive one. What with throwing the accusation of empty tribalism at my statement.

Perhaps far too much time marinating in the shit thread? IDK.

The actual progressive news, which is on the internet and not cable TV, like The Jimmy Dore Show hosted by Jimmy Dore and Secular Talk, hosted by Kyle Kunlinski, were also vindicated just like Greenwald.

Hot take: most Dems haven't focused on the Russia stuff, that's a good thing, and one news cycle isn't worth freaking out over.

It's starting to sink in just how crazy the Golan Heights thing is because I remembered how Trump didn't want to sanction Russia over Crimea. The president fundamentally doesn't understand or care that you can't annex territories by force.

Don't forget he also moved the embassy to Jerusalem. And those sort of statements/policies will not be easily rolled back by the next administration even if they don't agree with it.

Terry McAuliffe is moving closer to a 2020 presidential run, Democrats close to the former Virginia governor tell CNN.

McAuliffe has been telling Democratic allies that he is leaning toward jumping into the Democratic presidential race next month, according to three people who have spoken to him. The former governor has long said he would make a decision by the end of March, with a potential announcement later in April.

I don't get that one. Corporate donations will probably favor Harris and Biden, Virginia politics for Democrats is terrible, and he has little national name recognition. Kirsten Gillibrand can barely rate and she's actually a sitting senator. McAuliffe hasn't held office since he got term limited from being a governor of Virginia.

Hannity was trying to get Trump to say he'd pardon Flynn, etc. and Trump was like "nah" and Hannity kept going so Trump finally goes "I don't know Sean, we'll have to see when this is all over, I don't want to talk about anything like that until we know everything." :lol

Trump pressures wary Republicans to produce replacement for health-care law

Quote from: The Washington Post
President Trump is pressuring Republicans to produce a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, a request the GOP considers unrealistic in a divided Congress and politically perilous ahead of the 2020 elections. 

Hours after meeting with Senate Republicans at the Capitol on Tuesday, Trump spoke on the phone with a handful of senators, urging them to write a new law — even though the party failed to coalesce around a plan when it controlled the House and Senate for two years.

The White House has no proposal in the works, according to administration officials, but Trump wants Republicans to pass a bill before his reelection effort that would do what Obamacare does — provide coverage to millions of Americans.

I came across the gem from 2016 recently:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-cubs-have-a-smaller-chance-of-winning-than-trump-does/
Old enough to remember that the media and pollsters predicted:

- EV sweep for Clinton
- Clinton wins EV but Trump might win the popular vote
- The Trump supporters will riot because he has spoken out against Democracy
- Whatever the outcome of the vote, Donald Trump must accept it

Followed by:
