ngl i was feeling real pessimisstic but MO pulled through yesterday. besides cori bush beating clay, we had two high profile Black women that local media and conservative Dems went all out to destroy yet they pulled through and both got reelected by large margins. people are fucking sick of the same old same old and it's very encouraging to see that voters saw through the bullshit; MO still has some blue in it yet. although i am still worried that the GOP will do everything it can to sabotage that Medicaid expansion.

Seems like he listed every case not necessarily the cases related to Maxwell and Epstein.

I still wonder what sort of explanation the Q's have for this:

I like how he keeps emphasizing that Epstein died in prison, and was possibly murdered. You'd almost think that maybe he was sending a warning.

Yes, the hard hitting interview that exposes the president is a distraction. Fuck off.

I think the secret is that there's no distractions with Trump. It's all genuine, it's overwhelming and whether it's by design or just a stream of consciousness the effect is the same.

Heh, I thought he looked sharp here, mostly.
I really hope he's all there and it's not going to bite the Dems in the ass.

He kept saying “cmon, man” instead of “listen, Jack.”

Clear signs of mental decline imo.

I don't agree with his take on the foreign policy part of his 'keys'
- Major Foreign Policy / Military successes (Al Baghdadi, ISIS caliphate and even Soleimani, I would say 'true' in the context of this century)

I don't get it.. he just listed a ton of cases from the past 10 years of politicians getting arrested for sex crimes.. what does it have to do with Maxwell?  These are all known cases as far as I can tell.

edit: Yeah it's just made up bullshit.. nothing to do with Maxwell.

I <3 twitter

(narrator: he hates twitter)

you are proving the point i'm pretty sure he was trying to make.

How desperate are Trump supporters that they’re hoping for Susan Rice to be the veep pick so they can trot out warmed over Benghazi conspiracies to charge up the base in 2020?

Right now, polls say Joe Biden has a healthy lead over President Trump. But we’ve been here before (cue 2016), and the polls were, frankly, wrong.

aaaaaand closed the tab.

The longer it drags on, the longer it becomes a situation like the Government shutdown at the end of 2018/start of 2019. Don't expect them to do get something done quick.

Axios just published a piece claiming Biden is deciding between Kamala and Rice.

Pretty crazy to think that if Biden wins and he doesn't complete his term, his VP pick could be President for a decade or so with little effort.
Kamala ruling for 10+ years would pretty much spell the end for the momentum of the left wing of the Democratic party.

[Tripon]

Kamala Harris - The default choice.

If there's any DANK ENERGY left in this universe it'll be Andrew Yang

I can see why the campaign would prefer Kamala. She'd go toe to toe with Trump on law and order.

House Democrats are investigating a $765 million federal loan awarded to Eastman Kodak for the photography company to start producing drug ingredients — a surprising deal that has drawn scrutiny because of stock transactions by company insiders around the announcement.

the country is falling apart and the grifters are running away with the public funds

The rural/exurban vs. inner suburban realignment keeps progressing even on Medicaid which would help fund rural hospitals.

Didn't Democrats make a big fuss about getting oversight of federal loans? Wonder what happened to that

From what I'm reading they got oversight but it could only be the 'current' inspector general and Trump fired him.

Kamala wouldn't win a general election, let alone two.

Kamala Harris is the perfect candidate engineered in a lab.

Black, but not too black.
A cop, but not a cop cop.
From godless California, but also a baptist church attendee
Electoral success, but not so long that she's a dynasty
She lived in Canada so she has foreign policy experience, but it's Canada so it's not TOO foreign
She majored in political science (policy but also fake job!) but also economics (job creator!)

Thread on the state of negotiations. From what I've read all the talks have been Pelosi/Schumer and Mnuchin/Meadows, with no McConnell or anyone else representing the Congressional GOP.

You know what? I'm going to go the Jonathon Swan route.

Nintex, how would his VP pick be president for the next decade?

[ToxicAdam]

We have all the details from the @SpeakerPelosi- @SenSchumer - @stevenmnuchin1- @markmeadows Covid relief talks in PLAYBOOK this morning

Does this mean they're (collectively) going to turn this election into a debate over this topic? Seems stupid, but not beyond probability.


Also, President Trump:

“This thing’s (covid) going away. It will go away like things go away,” Trump said Wednesday morning in a telephone interview with Fox News. He said the U.S. is in “very good shape” while touting economic indicators.

[Mandark]

it's possible the Dems are seeking funding for these things because they actually think it's important for people's lives

2020 - Biden is elected.
2022 - Biden resigns after 1 or 2 years in office and the Trump circus has left town, VP takes office 2 years into Biden's term
2024 - VP is reelected
2028 - VP is reelected

22nd amendment.  His VP could serve the final 2 years of a biden presidency and still be eligible for two elected 4 year terms.  If something  happens to Biden in the first or second year of his term then the VP would only be eligible for one more term.

Yep, the plan will be at least two years so this can happen and Biden can actually be President for a while.
He will set the agenda and deflect the attacks from Trump and the GOP so the VP can implement and then continue.

if the gop are making those concessions that's pretty good. I would just take it. But like others have pointed out there are no representatives from Senate Rs so it's not clear if that deal is even actionable. WTF is McConnell doing?

edit: maybe I'm just a coward and Pelosi's right

[Mandark]

Ah yes.. "the play will be".. you heard it here first from the former editor of the 2nd largest Nintendo website in the Netherlands.

The 10-year Harris presidency seems to have replaced the Ivanka presidency that was predicted last week.

Trump's VP has the same benefit. If Trump was reelected he probably wouldn't finish his term either.
Just own the libs for 2 more years and have the VP figure it out, but he'd rather have one of his kids stepping in his footsteps than Mike Pence but it's not at all certain he can stay in office that long.

[james]

What if Harris picks Ivanka as vp as an incredible show of bipartisanship and unity and coming together


And then ivanka drops some polonium in kamalas coffee

[shosta]

what if you both shut up
